I hate to hate on Big Sean because he seems like a humble, chill, laid back kind of guy...but Nigerian making it so hard..

In a room that held fewer than 60 people sitting tucked away in one of L.A.’s most exclusive venues, The SoHo House, select members of the media were introduced to Big Sean’s highly anticipated follow up to 2013’s Hall Of Fame, his third LP Dark Sky Paradise. The general consensus: Big Sean is ready to make a real run for the throne.

The early evening session was hosted by Sean himself, and kicked off with a brief video montage of the “My Last” MC’s journey from his hometown of Detroit to the Hollywood Hills, followed by a few words about how the tumultuous events of this past year, specifically the loss of his grandmother, went into making an album laced with more passion and emotion than his previous work.

From the opening track, “Dark Sky (Skyscrapers),” it was clear that the G.O.O.D Music standout was on a different level, both lyrically and musically. And with a guest list that includes Lil Wayne, Drake and Kanye West, Sean was never once outshone on a track.

From a production standpoint, Dark Sky Paradise is versatile yet consistent, with hit men like DJ Mustard, Mike WiLL Made It, Boi-1da and, of course, Sean’s label boss, Yeezy (whose “All Your Fault” beat might be one of his all-time greats), all showing off some of their 2015-ready styles.

In a room full of oft-unimpressed Hollywood types luxuriating in velvet chairs, each with its own ottoman, people actually began applauding in between songs and turning up to some of the harder hitting joints.

With the Grammys in town, last year’s stars are being celebrated all weekend long, but on this night it may have been a preemptive celebration for a feat that might be more fulfilling than a Grammy: A hip-hop album that actually exceeds its own hype.

I can't front..I wanna root for Sean, I like some of his music but you really make it hard for some people..


Real talk... Sean ain't never gonna be fukking with Cole..like...ever. You're hate for Cole is some hoe shyt. Trying to shyt on him ain't gonna make people like Big Sean more...remember that. People actually made threads listing the dozens of Cole hate threads you made. Sad shyt B..

With that being said, I think Big Sean is talented. He's not crazy deep and shyt, but that's fine...his strengths are his whit, charisma, and flow imo. He's in the same class as Wale, Meek, A$AP, Schoolboy Q etc. Though I like the best Wale out of that bunch...Sean can maybe exceed most of those guys if he finds a balance between his fun/mainstream songs and his introspective songs. Look at the production on this album...he has all these tools/connections at his disposal under Kanye.


I liked FF The Album, HOF was ehh to me, but it had its moments. Hopefully this album is dope.
