I know this is a long shot but I’ve been wanting this album on vinyl for a few years now and I just can’t find it anywhere. Any ideas where to look or if it’s even remotely realistic to find.
this album is actually a fucking classic. cant believe its not talked about much still. the whole album is genuinely an experience. but oh my god this dark grimy ass smooth production that big sean had in 2017 is unmatched. the lyrics and beat are just sooo good. "im hanging halfway off the balcony, overthinking cuz my job is way more than a salary, everything around me come like alchemy" just so good
I remember listening to this song in my car with a friend around 2011-2013. Either in the middle of the song, or at the end, he’s either talking about a girl or there’s a voice message of a girl talking. Had Kanye's "Blame Game" vibes. It was like a random song on a mixtape, not a #1 hit or anything like that. I never heard it on the radio for example. Plus I think it’s just Big Sean on the song.
I know it's not much to go on, but any help would be appreciated
The title. Got a lyric from Big Sean tattooed on me yesterday.
It’s from “Everything That’s Missing”:
“Life can be a struggle, but what isn’t that’s worth having?”
This lyric hits hard for me in my own interpretation, and now I’m curious if anyone else here has something similar they’d want to share.
Does anyone have a recording of his show from a few weeks ago? It was aired on Amazon Prime live but there was no replay made available and it seems nowhere to be found. I know some super fan definitely recorded it and I’d love to be able to watch it. Thanks !!
How to be like Big Sean
Has anyone received the tracklist tee yet it said 2-3 weeks when i ordered it way back. I’ve sent an email but not received anything yet. Just wondered if it was just me…
Hey all, title says it all. I'm hoping someone has a copy of the CD version (The 10 track one). I'm interested in how the earlier cut of the album compares, but can't find any rips of it online. If anyone could help please DM me!
Seems like there’s a lot of mixed reviews on this album. It hasn’t left my rotation since it dropped and imo it’s definitely one of his best projects. How y’all feeling?
This song I found is super good but feels very monotone and just depressing almost to hear as if was similar to a suicide note or a goodbye and thank you type of song almost similar to never see me again. Maybe it was him sleepy or something but you can tell his mood was not in the moment for the lyrics or it was the beat that could've been different. Just any info was help how it was found I tried researching a bit but couldn't find much of anything: https://youtu.be/dZ1LutWkqNU?si=HXDN0n__6QLtatIA
I have other songs these are just from the recently added ones. What other big sean would you recommend?
I have a theory it was to appease Drake in some way, but I don’t get it. Sean doesn’t even work with Drake like that anymore.
That really disappointed me in Sean when Quentin told that story of how he ghosted him for no reason out of the blue. Quentin has been railroaded repeatedly and it doesn’t make sense. At least Nas & hit-boy didn’t do him dirty.
Don’t get me wrong I’m a Big Sean fan and really liked the album. It’s definitely one of his best. However I couldn’t help but notice his complete absence in the media not just music these couple of years. No interviews(like his song), no pop ups, no social media presence, no photos ops, no hit singles in the past 4 years, and 0 promotion for this new project. He essentially ghosted us fans leaving us to guess what’s going on. I literally only found out he had a new album because my brother happened to stumble on it in Apple Music. On top of that there’s so much new music nowadays him taking such a long break killed his career. He was never at the levels of fame a Kendrick or J Cole etc were at. He’s always had a cult following but most mainstream people didn’t even acknowledge his existence even at his peak in the 2010’s claiming he’s lame or not as good as X A-list artist. After all this I can honestly see him canceling his tour and going home to be a family man. Do some singles as a feature and show up at festivals from time to time but that’s about it. What do yall think is his next move at this point?
My favorite era has always been Dark Sky. When he released this and even 1st quarter, it set the tone fr. And key wane on the beat? My favorite bpm
I’m not a huge big Sean fan, but he was undoubtedly one of the biggest rappers of the 2010s. Yet he never gets mentioned in any conversations of best rappers. He’s not that close, but he deserves to be in the conversation. He has more billion streamed songs than Young Thug and the same amount of billion streamed songs as J Cole. He’s not as good as them, but where’s the respect?
After a few weeks of listening to this album there is almost nothing bad about it at all. This project has a certain feel to it I can’t explain. I find myself playing this album from start to finish with no problems and every song has a cohesive feel to the album and flows smooth. Could just be recency bias but this could go down as his best album to date
I swear the vocal sound that is heard throughout It is What it is is sampled from another song but I can't put my finger on it
