Despite the surrounding controversy, he says that he supports his Mobb Deep Co-D. He then goes on talk about accidentally shooting a Def Jam employee—at Def Jam!
In the wake of Shyne and Nas‘ alleged gripe with Def Jam, Big Sean was a guest on Angela Yee‘s weekly program, Lip Service last night and spoke out on his label’s lack of support. Girdle.
Nas allegedly wrote this email to the bigwigs at Def Jam demanding the release of Lost Tapes Vol. 2 this winter. Supposedly, they offered him $200,000 to fund the project. Until we receive confirmation, believe half of what you read after the jump.
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
