He got a certain star power, pause but some people just charismatic and got the IT factor. Big Sean may not be the best rapper song wise all the time and may be too punch heavy but he does have it.

Similar to Fab.

How can you ask what a producer saw in an artist who sold millions, has mad fans and has stayed relevant for over a decade? Like they grow on trees :snoop:
Reread the OP completely instead of getting in your feelings PLEASE

Dude got skills. He wrote a lot on Graduation. And he’s a successful rapper who literally had to switch his style like 3 times because the industry bit his shyt. The whole premise of this thread comes off haterish when u look at what he actually did for Kanye. It’s easy to see why he signed him.
I didn’t know all that shyt. Chill

Yo Big Sean has never been featured on a Kanye album proper (think he’s on a deluxe version of MBDTF).

Facts :wow:


Sean/Wiz/Tyga/Mac had the youths wrapped around their fingers in the early 2010s

I was one of them :wow: good days
I was that pretty, jiggy nikka back in high school thanks to Rocky and the Mob :wow:

Meek Mill, Drake, Big Sean. Even them weirdo OFWGKTA nikkas were getting spins. WATTBA :wow:

A friend of mine was in the studio with Kanye and Travis in 2012/13 when Kanye was giving him a lecture. Ye said he passed Lupe, Cudi and Sean the torch but they failed and he doesn’t want Trav to fukk up like them.

Sean's got 2 Platinum albums, a double Plat album and a Gold album. Plus a heap of big singles. In what world is that fukking up?

That’s not fukking up but I’m sure the sentiment is that Kanye wanted one of them to become the megastar that he was/is so he could simply eat off of them and fall back. Basically what Akon was able to do once Lady Gaga took off, it probably would have allowed Ye to become what he’s become now, just earlier. But in no world are Cudi or Sean or Lupe considered unsuccessful rappers in general.

If he said that he’s a piece of shyt. Travis is a damn fraud. Them 3 nikkas he shytted on are actual artists who were pretty successful off their own merit. He better thank Lupe for Late Registration, he better thank Big Sean for Graduation, and thank Kudi for 808s and Heartbreaks.

Probably the same thing Dame saw in Ye that Hov didn't.


Ye wants that Big Brother status too. He's signed some cats but no megastars. Dre signed Em who signed 50, Jay signed off of/cosigned Ye (really dame) but Ye wrote Big brother to Jay rather than Dame....Lil Wayne signed Drake and Nicki (maybe idk where she came from). There's a lot of cats that have the Ye cosign, but none of the artists are really kicking the door down, selling out tours, charting number, setting the world on fire when they drop.

Ye has pretty much done everything needed to do in rap and blazed new trails but he doesn't have that superstar signing.

Cudi was on the way but I think he hates rap fans. Shame..Day and Night and Pursuit of Happiness were damn near global hits.

Sean used to dress like Kanye back then and he had some stand out lines that I’m sure Kanye took note of not to mention he had a whole school worth of rappers lines to use as his own. That last part
Isn’t confirmed just something I always wondered if he did cause it would’ve been smart
