Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
It was no days off, even for Big Sean’s birthday. Here’s a recap of his celebratory weekend including his shows in NY, L.A. and his surprise party.
Big Sean ended his European tour this evening at the UK’s Electric Brixton and teased the audience with a preview of his track, “Fire” off his upcoming album Hall of Fame. Fire!
While out in the UK, Big Sean sat down with DJ Semtex and touched on MTV’s list. Although, he believes he should have been placed higher, he respects it and hopes to move up next year.
In other news, he also previewed a few tracks off his Hall of Fame album. As of now, features include Common, Lil Wayne, Nas, KiD CuDi, Juicy J and Kanye.
The party begins with just a call. And for Juicy J’s new video, he jets from Memphis to Detroit to party the night away with Big Sean and Jeezy. Stay Trippy coming soon.
Also: Juicy’s hitting the road. Tour dates below.
Big Sean pulls a swerve and lands at the sixth spot on MTV‘s list. Sorry, Kanye.
When the members of MTV’s Hip-Hop Brain Trust sat down to discuss the year’s rankings, the Detroit rapper initially had the #8 spot. But no one could’ve predicted how much he would progress on the list. Indeed, the same could be said for Sean’s influence and impact on hip-hop over the past year.
Detroit producer Key Wane has just released his compilation So Many Keys featuring previously released and unreleased tracks. Here’s a revamped version of Big Sean and J.Cole’s collabo now featuring Rae.
These days, posse cuts may seem oversaturated and underwhelming, but Cruel Summer‘s lead single was the complete opposite. Over a chopped up hook and a Fuzzy Jones soundbwoy-sample, Yeezy’s collective individually delivered. Big Sean takes off from the starting line with his repetitive flow while the metaphors from Pusha T soon followed behind (“I’m red leather, I’m cocaine, I’m Rick James, ho”). As the Scarface theme music slowly creeps in, Kanye pulls up with his boastful raps. However, it’s 2 Chainz’ closing verse that’s the song’s true blessing (“I’m drunk and high at the same time, drinking champagne on the airplane”). Oh, mercy me. Now that’s the true champion sound.
Following the success of his Cruel Summer hits (“Mercy”, “Clique”) as well as Meek Mill’s “Burn”, Big Sean cordially invited fans to his hometown with his fourth mixtape, Detroit. The Motor City’s new shining star travels down the road to stardom on the opener “Higher” and depicts his lavish lifestyle over the soulful sounds of Barry White on “How I Feel”. Right on! Sean Don keeps the celebratory tracks intact (“Experimental”, “FFOE”, “Woke Up”) while stacking more than enough bread with French Montana on “Mula”. Things aren’t all boastful though as Big displays his vulnerability and lyrical growth alongside fellow rhyme slingers like Royce Da 5’9″ and Kendrick Lamar (“100″) and J.Cole (“24 Karats Of Gold”). Cohesive and conceptual with skits from Common, Young Jeezy, and Snoop Lion, Detroit feels like a Def Jam album. Take your time with Hall Of Fame cause this collection was heaven sent. Oh God!
Do you remember that producer Jahlil Beats gave this beat to Jadakiss first (“Paper Tags”)? Probably not. Because Meek Mill and Big Sean lyrically exploded all over the damn thing and made it theirs. This is a clash of two young titans who thankfully are on the same side. Like an old school rap group, the dynamic duo trade rhymes building off each other’s wordplay. Rap fans can argue all day about which MC got the better of the exchanges but, one fact is clear, the guest from Detroit more than holds his own with the fiery Philly spitter. We love Sean’s line about his cousin (“Can’t believe he graduated/Threw him 20,000 dollars told his ass congratulations/Cause me… I wasn’t made for that shit”). Niggas used to talk about how Sean wasn’t that nice on the mic device but “Burn” proved they were just blowing smoke. Boom!
