Inevitably in the careers of successful rappers is the questioning of whether they are actually from the areas they represent.
Big Sean has been at the butt of claims throughout his career of whether he is actually from a place of struggle in Detroit or not. Recently, in an interview between Detroit native Danny Brown and The Fader, Brown said many people from or who live in Detroit don’t consider him from the area. He also said Sean “Probably was real spoiled or sheltered” as a child.
Perhaps it was Danny Brown’s comments that sparked Big Sean’s latest retaliation but in an interview with Hip Hop Nation, Sean wanted to make sure listeners heard his latest attempt at confirming he’s been around the poorer area’s of his hometown.
“Fuck whoever talking about Big Sean and don’t know nothing about Detroit or the streets of Detroit,” Sean proclaimed when unprompted during the interview. “I be in there. Matter of fact, not only do I be there and be in the hood, I be helping the hood and giving back to the hood.”
“I’m the only one out of ya’ll rappers or even new rappers who was paying for Thanksgiving dinners last year, buying Christmas gifts,” he continued. “So if you ever talking shit about me like I ain’t be up in the hood, nigga you crazy.”
It’s unclear if Big Sean’s comments were specifically aimed at Brown but his latest rant comes only days after The Fader interview was published.

You can bet your ass he doesn’t live in the hood.
God, lets hope he doesn’t. After all those big singles he made. Lets hope he doesn’t live in the hood.
now he trying to buy his way into a hood pass
i thought that danny brown interview was funny! he said no one in detroit thinks of big sean as a detroit rapper
if you listen to his songs he makes detroit sound likes its miami or some shit he dont really rep the d
true dat my dude
People who live in the hood are trying to GET OUT!
So why would a person be criticized for not being there?
because he supposedly acts like he came from there when he didnt
so what you saying is hes not from detroit? cause all detroit is bad…and look who this is coming from a molly popping homo… come on now they got videos of sean rapping at his high school are those not real too?
i seen them videos of him rapping about not doing drugs or having sex LMAO corniest shit i ever seen
ANY LIL FUFU FUGAZI AZZ NIKKA CAN GO TO DA HOOD ON THANKSGIVING AND GIVE OUT MEALS. HE AINT NO HOOD FIGGA!
LOL for real! aint no one gonna turn down some free food it dont matter where the fuck you from
lmao dude stay phony and showin skin in pictures
Everyone knows this nigga soft as wet dog shit. Id put money on even Drake beatin his ass. You could go to any poor area and hand out food don’t mean u ‘be in the hood’ this nigga faker than rick ross yayo tales
Big Sean should have just left it alone and just kept on helping the “hood” like he already was. For him to respond to this only shows he caught feelings because maybe he wasn’t in the hood. If I was helping people I would not care what others have to say and would just keep doing me.
Also, what people fail to realize is not many people are saying “hey, lets make some money and move to the hood”. The point is to make some money and move out of the struggle.
I use paper towels that are harder than this nigga.
haha
Miley Cyrus would beat his ass on the mic and in the streets.
Why is it when a rapper moves up out of the hood that broke ass niggas in it can’t accept that. He gettin his bread now but that doesn’t mean he isn’t hood anymore. niggas been hatin on Weezy since he got out of the hood but he isnt hearing them cause hes gettin his guap like Big Sean.
weezy been out the hood since he was 12 but started claiming blood at age 25
He’s STILL from Detroit even if he isn’t from the hood, so why is he catching flack for reppin’ his city??? I don’t think I’ve ever heard him refer to himself as a hood nigga anyway, to be honest. Dude takes time to actually give back and that’s WAY better than just hangin’ around the streets just to say you be in the hood..
This fool DON’T want no parts of Danny Brown. He will rap circles around this fool. Danny Brown, however crazy he may dress is REALLY from the streets of Detroit and really bout that life.
There’s been many a rapper from there who don’t speak highly of Big Sean. John Connor gets most respect from the D than this 12 year sounding punk named Big Sean.
He hangs with those fags in Ferndale n royal oak n shit. WTF you talkin bout lol?
Fuck with these niggas talkin! I’m trying to get out of the D ! Even tho I love it to the fullest!
gay sean is such a fag…danny brown is too
yet he has one of the hottest girlfriends an actor while your a broke ass nigga hatin
you mean actress right?
lol
Danny Brown is an even bigger faggot the Big Sean is, I’d rather have Sean claim my city then a dude who looks like a transvestite crack whore and sounds like a cat in heat every time he uses that screechy annoying voice
CO SIGN
I think regardless to what these two dudes are arguing about, its pretty obvious big sean spends way to much time around the D. And i aint talking about the city
His response clearly shows he’s not from Detroit.
i aint from detroit or nowhere near the midwest and i still get what you sayin
…danny brown S a gay lame lookin for a come up ……..tip use talent
Grown ass men trying to convince eachother that they be from the hood?! I’m getting to old for this hip hop shit.. And im only 21 – Grown men acting like 9 year old. Embarrising!
I don’t give a fuck if someone isn’t from the hood either, I only care about quality music.. Big Sean falls short in that category.
too old is right, I’m 34 now and maaan all this 3rd generation rap gangsta stuff is laughable now…
27 – i agree
Sean ain’t from the hood like that, but he never claim to be a street nigga either, dude always rep the D and did songs with local artist, even filmed that guap video at Bellse Island a straight up Detroit jewel
Did sm1 mention the words REAL, HOOD and GANGSTER???????????
ITSSSSSS GUCCCIIIIIIIIIIIIII TIMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE
Guci Mane realest rapper outthere:
– this nigga throws bitches out his car
– shoot niggas dead
– beat niggas up.
Gucci aint no fantasy nigga like:
– mobb deep,
– nas escobar lol nigga only had a ticket for parking his car wrong
– 2pac never gangbanged
– rick ross
– big sean aint no gangster from the hood
– danny brown is a wanna be
Whos is this Gucci dick rider posting this on every story u sad fuck bet u sum 14 year old bitch boy pretendin u G’d up through Gucci music. Nas done had a gun charge before he made it in rap.
Gucci got a scholarship in high school and went to college so he aint this super gangsta u think he is. Thing with him is hes got mental health problems that’s why he gets in trouble hes fuckin dumb type of nigga that fire into a crowd to get his target miss and kill sum kid.
People don’t fear Gucci they just know hes retarded no one wants to mess with a retard playin wit a gun.I wouldn’t even care but he cant rap for shit and u cant understand what the fuck hes saying
Ha Ha hope this lil boy or girl like 14, could still get a pass for nonsensical fool worship and d-ridin’. What the fuck is wrong with you son. Gucci Mane is your h-e-r-o…??? U know how stupid that sounds…!
I’m not a Big Sean fan, but if you have a nigga repping your hood, and at the same time, he’s giving back to that hood, then just shut the fuck up and let him be, at least he’s paying correct homage and not just using it to sell his music. Like I said, I’m not a big fan, but I will check out his album.
agreed
One thing that always confuses me about these authenticity claims, be they true or false, is how rappers end up *needing* to back it up. I mean, can’t you just look at his school record and see where he went for high school etc? Check and find his/her address (which I’m sure somebody wrote down at one point). I mean, how hard is that exactly?
Another fraud exposed. Atleast we Gucci Mane i real nigga.
exposed????? can u read??????? u a fucking clown retard
if you aint figure it out when niccas get exposed they try and save face just like ross did
He is from Detroit, plain and simple. It really does not matter where your from really, it depends on what you can or are willing to do. I think Kimbo slice proved that by getting his ass whooped. 2-pac: “was a nice middle class n*gga, but nobody knew the evil he do when he got a little bigger”, now that being said Big Sean went to the nice high school in Detroit, where most of your class is going to college, jack white,lilly tomlin, and kwame kilpatrick all went there as well along with other famous detroiters. He also probably stayed in the house at night.
tupac muddile class lmao really!
It’s a quote from 2-Pac’s song shorty wanna be thug, don’t know that one,huh.
First, who cares where you from? Tt’s where you at. Second, giving out turkeys on Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts at Christmas is NOT giving back to the hood….
lil sean is like a member of the glee club there is no hood in him
he even dating a girl that stars on glee LOL
LOL while ur dating a ur right hand
^^^ He’s talking from his own experiences hahaha.
The only reason why rappers from detroit are calling him out is because he’s commercial. Most detroit artists are diversified in subject matter and content and Sean sounds like an artist from the south. Bottom line – its very hard to make it in Detroit and he probably didn’t make it through its local scene.
Agree !
he is also corny, rhymes are a little to kanye westish but unlike kanye, he does not know how to cover up some of that with great samples, hooks, and beats
true
eminem has more street cred then big sean
em rolls with trick trick
No Eminem whole image was created by Interscope Records. Listen to the early Eminem records your hear the difference.
record show that his last address be fore the fame was in the upscale town of Ypsilanti mi where some of the richest people live in the country.
than*
thanksgiving dinners are not high on the list of things people in the hood need…when will rappers stop this corny shit.
Amen lol
not their fuckin responsibility to do more. what the hood needs is bigger than a rapper.
Hippy charity workers go to ghettos or third world nations and give out food and water. Doesn’t make them hood.
Sounds like cats just mad jelly he ain’t on the corner selling nicks and dimes..Cmon Son..Bottom line he reppen your broke a$$ city, don’t hate on the kid because he not strugglin with you, make some good music and get your shit in rotation..Stop being Jelly already..Damn…
he aint reppin it right he makes it sounds like its all strip clubs and fancy clothes he makes the d seem like its miami or some shit
Every Artist is going to have their own perspective on their city, I’m from BK, I came up listening to Black Moon, they wasn’t flashy like per se Biggie and Jr. Mafia. Everyone is going to rep they city from their own life perspective, maybe he had a silver spoon and don’t know the struggle, don’t hate on the kid because of the cards he was dealt.
record show that his last address be fore the fame was in the upscale town of ypsilanti mi where some or the richest people live in the country.
who remembers that video of him rappin in high school about saying no to drugs and not having sex?
The fuck he talkin about? Master P BEEN doin that charity shit for years and you know damn well he aint in the hood lol. Fuck this skinny weak ass nigga. He aint FROM the hood and he don’t HANG in the hood neither. Ask real Detroit niggas like Seven the general, Big Herk,Dice..if they seen this nigga around lol
Learn to read. He said new rappers.
