His origin story - that he rapped for Kanye outside of a Detroit radio station and impressed him so thoroughly that he was signed on the spot - is the kind of bootstraps meritocratic myth that keeps thousands of aspiring rappers aggressively tweeting mixtape links at strangers.
Since 2007, he has released two albums and four mixtapes, all of which are largely terrible. Before that he’d been engaged to the Glee actress Naya Rivera. This year Big Sean’s profile grew when he began dating Ariana Grande, perhaps the fastest-rising American pop star since Katy Perry.
#I dont fuck with you remix license#
A license plate that reads “RAP4LYFE.” A tight smile and a clammy handshake.
He’s a networker - a friendly, unthreatening face, always available with 16 meaningless bars and a rap signifier to buff your urban credibility or your youthful credibility or your playful credibility. Big Sean has recorded with Nicki Minaj, Drake, Miley Cyrus, Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, Rick Ross, Jessie J, Diddy, Chris Brown, John Legend, Nas, and Fall Out Boy. As far as modern rap bona fides, he is the most cosigned young person this side of Blue Ivy. When Kanye and Jay Z reteamed for a song for G.O.O.D.’s 2012 Cruel Summer compilation, they recorded the exclusionary anthem “Clique” - Big Sean was the only person invited to their party. Music family, has been signed to Def Jam Records since 2008, and is a recent addition to Jay Z’s growing Roc Nation Management. The 26-year-old MC is a member of Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Who is Big Sean? Big Sean is a rapper from Detroit who is also a buffoon. This has been difficult to bear, so hear me out.
