Big Sean arrives today with his first official studio album entitled "Finally Famous". Big Sean, signed by Kanye West to G.O.O.D. Music under Def Jam when Kanye heard him rap just a few lines in the middle of the doorway at a radio station in Detroit. Big Sean has been making a name for himself from his "Finally Famous Mixtapes" producing a few singles like "What U Doin?" to now his singles off of his new album like "My Last" featuring Chris Brown (which he performed on BET awards on June 26th) and "I Do It". This "Finally Famous" album has been pushed back so many months it better produce some hits now that it's hitting shelves. From how much I've heard it, the album is definitely G.O.O.D. music.
Track-list & Ratings:
01 Intro - This introduction to the album gets you inspired to follow his movement, while getting you into the mood to bust you into the next main track with a few bars over a string and piano powered instrumental.
02 I Do It - His second single off the album, which Big shows you that he's got some clever rhymes. Not my favorite off the album, but a good 4/5 stars.
03 My Last - With Chris Brown on the chorus this song has already hit the radio waves. Good tunes.
04 Don’t Tell Me You Love Me - Starts off slower but comes in hard with a good beat. I like how the chorus slows down and Big plays with some autotune.
05 Wait For Me - Big and Lupe Fiasco hit up this song with a sample-strung instrumental behind a catchy chorus. Lupe delivers as always.
06 Marvin & Chardonnay - With Kanye and Roscoe Dash, Big Sean lights up this track. Probably my favorite off the album right now. Just has an up-beat feeling to the song. "Hold up, Hold up, Hold up, Hold up..."
07 Dance (A$$) - Uses a MC Hammer sample in the instrumental, Big Sean shows off his spitting skills more of a basic drum beat to rap lines on for an artist.
08 Get It - Pharrell from NERD hops on this track in context trying to get to "Donald Trump Level". Big raps over this chill beat talking about how his success will bring all the money, women, etc.
09 Memories pt.2 - John Legend uses his vocal skills to give listeners a good chorus. This song describes how not let life pass you by and remember the past aka memories. haha
10 High - Xaphoon Jones from Chiddy Bang produces this track with a poppy/unique beat to show off Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, and Chiddy's raps. 2nd favorite off the album. You knew Wiz would be on the song talking solely about weed.
11 Live This Life - Big teams up with The Dream on this feel-good track. This is one of the better songs off the album. Also, once you hear this song tell me if you thing Big Sean during the chorus sounds like Diddy? haha
12 So Much More - Big just released a simple music video for this single showing how his fame has grown and people are going crazy for him now. This song is amazing because it shows his talent to a T, but there's a few lines I have no idea what he says. Haha. It starts around 1:05 when he speeds up. I've searched for lyrics, but they're not right. (Also, I twittered @BigSean but no response, darn)
13-16 - These are tracks from the deluxe version of the album. My favorite is Celebrity featuring Dwele because it's a feel-good beat. (If you can't tell, I like the "feel-good" tracks)
