Big Sean is gearing up for the September 5th release of his new mixtape Detroit, which is set to feature a handful of famous friends. During an interview with HHW, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper revealed that he enlisted J. Cole, Chris Brown, Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa for the project, though didn’t specify whether there will be more emcees on the offering.
“The only reason why I haven’t put it out yet is because I just didn’t want to put anything on there that we really could have used on the album. I wanted to be comfortable with every single thing,” he said. “That was the only hold up. We’ve been rocking to it and listening to it and we’ve got a lot of good people on there. The mixtape has J.Cole, Chris Brown, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, you know, good a** features.”
Sean, who said he’s already filmed a few promo videos for the tape, said that his upcoming sophomore album will be a “step up” from the mixtape. “A lot of people don’t want me to do it because they are saying ‘man, the album is what it is and I don’t know why you want to drop a mixtape,” he said. “But I ain’t doing it to let people know where I’m artistically at, I’m doing an album to let people know where I’m artistically at. I’m doing an album to change the world. I’m doing a mixtape because that’s how I came up. That’s where a lot of my core fan base is, my core believers, and people who believe in me.”

If he could pull it off he should have royce and elzhi,how can you call the mixtape Detroit and not have any Detroit rapper on it.
Agreed. No Guilty Simpson, Black Milk, Danny Brown or other established Detroit acts. No up and comer like Boldy James either.
obviously its called detrott because thats where he’s fron. no where does that imply that he must feature even one detroit rapper, let alone many.
cause they would have killed him and made him look stupid he is no where on their level his a soft mainstream artist

FUCK Big Sean. This proves how lame he is. How the fuck do you call a mixtape Detroit and not have any Detroit rappers on it!? C’mon… Detroit has killer MC’s like Danny Brown, Elzi, Royce, Guilty, Chavis Chandler, Quelle Chris, Zelooperz and others.
BIG SEAN SUCKS!
? You mention Detroit has killer MCs and don’t mention EMINEM? I’m gonna take it you didn’t say Em because it’s obvious Em wouldn’t work with Sean especially on just a mixtape.
Danny Brown?! Dont remind muthafuckas that hes from here!!
“J.Cole, Chris Brown, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa”
I would’ve thought for a mixtape he can get rappers whom are actually talented not just for popularity him and Royce are cool, could’ve got Royce or maybe even the entire Slaughterhouse. Or rep Detroit and get Elzhi, Black Milk etc. Or maybe rep Michigan and get Jon Connor. But whatever even if he did get them guests I still wouldn’t listen to the mixtape making this WHOLE comment a “moo point”.
Shut yo faggot ass up
lol at this equal Big Sean naming his mixtape ‘Detroit’
Just goes to show you what he thinks of his home town artist..NOT 1 of ’em on a MIXTAPE..but its all good cause i dont listen or would EVER buy your SOFT mainstream music..LILsean
maybe this goes to show what artists in Detroit think of his azz… maybe he reached out to ’em, i’d be willing to bet that he reached out to at least one and they declined to do a song with him
yall sound like some scorned females who just got rejected. gossiping and shit. smh. like pac said some of you niggas are bitches too.
^^^Big Sean fan
real talk yall sound like bitches clucking

GOOD MUSIC CAN HAVE ANY FEATURE NIGGA IM TRYNA SAY IM THE BEST NIGGA RIGHT NOW IN DETRIOT NIGGA I AM DETRIOT
shut up, faggot ass troll. “Der I don’t like Big Sean so I’m going to act like Big Sean, proclaim that I’m the best, and then see how much hate I can get. Der, I’m so funny.”
looking forward to it. Like people are saying, he should have more Detroit features on there, but then again, it seems like he didn’t reveal all of the features, so who knows. Finally Famous Vol. 3 was dope as hell, way better than the album, so hopefully he can get back to that shit.
DUDE IS SUCH A PUSSY
How Mr.Anonymous
he make straight female music
if the mixtape is called “Detroit” then why are there no features from Detroit? is he the only person from Detroit thats gonna be on there? hahaha this nigga does make female music like the dude below me said lol
I was saying the samething…
Well the two other popular rappers from Detroit would out rap him so…
theres more than two other rappers from detroit loser
Where’s Royce and Elzhi? This ain’t a Detroit Mixtape, this is a Pop Tape
oh yea cuz so many ppl check for elzhi and royce wouldnt be shit if em didnt take his horrendous career off life support
no willie the kid… no elzhi…. u know this dude lame as hell!
no but judging from your comments i can tell you are
why does he have to do a song with royce, willie, or elzhi that would be corny… hes from detroit thats good enough… thats like someone from texas doin a song wit bun b…
I literally only clicked this to see if he was gonna feature Royce.. Royce shouts him out enough.. Sean’s whack for that.
Weak ass tape from a weak ass rapper.Aint nobody in the D checkin for this tape or album except 12 yr olds.We bump shit like Trick Trick,Malik,Obie,Slim,even Esham’s washed-up ass is better than this clown.
