Big Sean is like this gen's Ludacris. Soft, friendly, safe and fun, great for a guest verse, but no "album appeal"
Luda was soft and safe and no "album appeal" in his prime :dead:
Dude has grammy's for album of the year, he's sold like 8th most of all rappers, he's never gone less than gold in 13-14 years even with a Shawnna collabo album.
Instrumental in setting the south where it is today, had a very unique style, was technically one of the illest rappers of the first half of the 2000s and on.

Can't compare them, at all.

That's an insult to Ludacris bruh....


Ludacris, even with his silly style still had more lyrical talent in his pinky finger than Smedium Sean possesses in that entire frail Mr. burns body of his...
I agree. I just remember always being disappointed with his albums. Of course, Luda is a superstar and mad creative. I just think him and Sean have a similar cartoonish style with albums that are strictly tailored for radio

:what: are you really making this comparison? Luda stayed with hits and has plaques. Even with that garbage ass Battle of the Sexes..

Jesus Christ, I really dug Ludacris. About 20 times more than Big Sean. I was always disappointed with his albums tho and how he never delivered on his potential. His singles were typically fire, but albums cuts didnt hold up. Whether or not he acted in movies and had #1 hits is besides the point.

He had a goofy style, great flow, good delivery, tons of charisma, but his albums were flat. All of this applies to Big Sean. Cartoonish, catchy. Thats all.

It goes back to the point where people try to peg "Big Sean" as some sort of a future legend, but he'll probably end up making this brand of pop-rap forever

I don't know about you but imo his first 3 albums averaged like 4.5/5 and the rest of them being about 4 mics.
I think he didn't get the props he deserved from reviewers cause he was goofy and from the south. Unless you were a socially conscious rapper, rapping about crazy shyt like Red/Em or a gangster rapper, you will 99/100 get overlooked.

"Great flow, good delivery" Probably top 3 flow and delivery of artists from the 2000s imo.


In any event our opinions differ regarding his albums, respected.. However, I just can't see the Big Sean comparisons. If anything he's more of an ultra successful Jadakiss or previous generations J. Cole (as in he has what it takes, but can't really reach all the way up),

new ludacris is cringeworthy, damn near unlistenable and i say that's been going on since around theatre of the mind shortly after. i can't even look back at his material and appreciate it any longer considering he's almost a formula to me at this point. he's also spit the exact same verse on every r and b feature he's ever done

almost every album he's done has had an aggressive single like get back, move, southern hospitality. then he'll move onto a club or female type track. rinse repeat that was every album


slap was a heater though and there were a couple decent ones on theatre of the mind


actually he probably is the jada of the south but more successful, just the most overrated emcee of his region.


mayn i grew up loving ludacris, but now i think im a hater. i'm probably definitely in the minority here so i'll fall back. i'm almost always in the minority when it comes to people i dislike. i also don't like steph curry or robin williams :pachaha:

None of them have great replay value

People surprised that artists like Tyler outsell dudes like Big Sean and French Montana?? It's much easier to find an Odd Future stan than somebody who swears by Big Sean. Nigerian is the only Big Sean stan I've come accross on or offline :wtf:

Selling albums is more about how you've built your fanbase than a popularity, radio song contest.
