"You might find me rapping better on the Detroit II mixtape rather than Detroit, but Hall Of Fame was something that was different for Big Sean. It was something that had some concepts to it and music that wasn’t trendy and will stand the test of time. Songs like “Fire” feel like songs I’m going to probably perform forever, man. Even though it’s a song that wasn’t on the radio, it’s just something that means so much and is never going to be played out."
"first-week album sales mean nothing, man. I will slowly cost to gold once Ashley drops."
