[idoitforhiphop10]

I actually liked Detroit alot when i first heard it and couldn't stop playin it. This album is the polar opposite.

still don't know how to feel about this album..there's a few great songs, a few terrible songs (Milf is the worst shit I've heard all year) and a lot of average songs..production is great for the most part, content has improved but Sean just isn't living up to my expectations..

Not better than Detroit, hell i don't even know if I can say it's clearly better than Finally Famous..

Big Sean recently addressed Kanye West's opinions of his latest album, Hall of Fame.

“Kanye's definitely heard the album," Sean said in an interview with Rap-Up. "I played it for him. He's heard it sporadically, while making it. The final product, he was jamming to it. He was proud of it.”

Big Sean also addressed disagreements that he's had with Kanye.

"There’s always some things that we may disagree on," Sean said. "But as an artist, you just gotta roll with what you wanna roll with. He definitely respects that and supports me and I support him.”

Despite any disagreements, West's input helped Hall of Fame come together. An example of this can be heard on "Mona Lisa."

“Kanye’s favorite song was definitely ‘Mona Lisa,’" Sean said. "It was an older track from the album. I did it kind of towards the beginning of the album. I did 'Ashley,' 'Mona Lisa' and some songs like that almost a year ago. So, I was kind of tired of it. But, he was the one who reminded me how good that song was. He really loves the beat and the words, too, the combination of it."

The Michigan rapper also explained why West is not featured on his new project.

"We did have a song, but I'm probably gonna save it for my next one," Big Sean said of a Kanye West collaboration. "It didn't really...It wasn't really necessary for this one. We had songs that filled the void that that one was going to fill. I'm holding on to it. I feel like it don't really matter if he's on the album or not. Me and Kanye have so many songs together. People know what it is. It's love."

Don't know why y'all comparing Detroit to HOF. Two different projects. Album is way more cohesive and polished.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

I want to believe the kid. Something about him seems genuine.

It's such a hard balance these days, because you have to weigh putting out more serious material against the very real possibility that simpleminded fans won't support it. Especially after you led off with issh like "Dance (Azz)," not that that's not dope.

I do like "Memories" and "24K of Gold," where he kind of is motivational.

GKMC made all these young cats wanna step their issh up.

This right here. Did yall niggas listen to the interview? He just said the label wanted him to put out Guap for the first single. The serious single he wanted to put out first will be used as his second single. Album is going to be crazy. Basically "Detroit" but bigger. Based on the 3 snippets he played off the album I already know this album is going to be dope. And lol at Sean being gone after this year. Yall said that 2 years ago. Look at him now.

Oh.

oh yeah, why would you ever compare an artist's most recent album to whatever he put out right before it. it's not like people compared Cole World to Friday Night Lights, or compared Thank Me Later to So Far Gone, etc. etc.

[Seansosa]

Kanye sounds like some music layman in the bold. Like the session sounded like this:

Kanye: Sean, you gotta keep Mona Lisa on there. I like the sounds the song has over the drums.

Sean: Whoa Dere! You mean the instrumental?

Kanye: Yeah yeah and the words you say are dope too. Mona lisa, lisa mmmmooaaaannniiinnn! Love it!

Sean: Oh God!

I think this album is decent. Big Sean eases up on the gas a little too much, but it's a chill album. Outside of milf and that ridiculous interlude the album is cool.
