Black Music Month

LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 09: Big Sean attends 2019 Roc Nation THE BRUNCH on February 9, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.

From Detroit to G.O.O.D. Music, Big Sean has certainly made a name of himself. The rapper was discovered by label boss Kanye West when he overheard him freestyling at a radio station, and after that, the rest is history. Big Sean is a six-time Grammy nominee and makes his presence known on guest-heavy features. His last album, Detroit 2, scored him a Grammy nom for his song “Deep Reverence” with the late Nipsey Hussle. Sean has made a lot of progress since the beginning of his career but fails to say consistent, something his fans and he have noticed of himself over the years. He rapped about his lack of keeping up with releasing new music.

“I think where I lack most as an artist is consistency/ I just haven’t had the energy to compete with enemies,” he rapped on his latest freestyle, “Anderson Estate.” The Detroit native flipped J Dilla’s beat for a slowed-down version of The Pharcyde’s “Drop.”

Big Sean’s Best Songs In 2024

2024 might be the year when we actually get a Big Sean album. On the “Anderson Estate” freestyle, he not only came for himself but also sent some jabs to the in hip-hop (aka Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole).

“I think where I lack most as an artist is consistency/ I just haven’t had the energy to compete with enemies/”Or y’all so-called bigger three/ But every verse I lay, fans love to say, ‘Man, n—– is sleep!'” the full line reads.

While the track brings honesty to himself in terms of just not keeping up by releasing new music, he also revs himself up about how he always knew he was going to be successful.

“Sean, how long you knew you was finna win?/ How long you been plottin’ on M’s?/ Since before the TV show/ You was in the office and cutting off friends/ Since the POW chain setting trends, hold up/ How long you been plottin’ on a B?/ Since before you had a song with Jay?/ Since before you knew Jhene?,” he spits.

Besides the “Anderson Estate” freestyle, the rapper dropped “Precision” on March 22. On the record, which was well-received by fans, Sean raps about he is looking at the target and nothing else.

“Shootin’ my shot like, pew-pew, ayy/Hit the red dot like, pew-pew, ayy/Finger on the trigger like, pew-pew-pew-pew, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy/Shootin’ my shot like, pew-pew, ayy/Hit the red dot like, pew-pew, ayy/Hittin’ her spot like, pew-pew-pew-pew, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy/I gotta get it, man, shout out, I hit it, I’m fully committed like ayy,” he raps.

Hopefully, “Precision” is just the start and we can just have to sit back and watch him work.
