Despite respectable commercial and critical appeal, as well as featuring one of the biggest singles of the year in “Dance (A$$),” Big Sean doesn’t love his debut album Finally Famous.
“I ain’t really like it that much,” said Sean in an interview with HipHopWired.com. “On the first album I wasn’t really in love with every single one. I just think it was a timing thing, I just started getting into the groove I was starting to feel comfortable right when it was due. Really when it was past due, and it kind of fucked me up.”
Sean doesn’t appear to be dwelling on the matter, as he appreciated lessons learned from the first go-round. “You live and you learn and I’m glad it went like that. I’m glad my first album was the way it was and I’m glad the second album is the way it is shaping up to be.”
The Detroit rapper explained that his sophomore release would similarly feature songs for the radio. “I think my first album had a lot of radio songs on it and that is an important part of things and it is a necessity you have to establish. At least radio knows me now as a presence and now they’d be willing to take more chances on me and that’s what this second album is. It’s all about taking chances. [The second album’s] a little bit more personal and making some new shit for the radio instead of trying to go for something else.”

He wasn’t the only one.
Didn’t Big Sean say this like a week or so ago? Damn, HipHopDX is always lagging.
He said it about a year ago as well. People keep asking him the same fucking questions cause he’s done nothing worth mentioning since.
how you gonna drop your first album when you know its trash?
cause he ain’t finna be dropping anything hot
Word I didnt like it either
you didn’t like it? me neither
album is ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass
Realest B.I.G. in the history of music. Big Sean. Fuck old school. Cuz it’s dead, just like that fat fuck Christopher.
man shut your dumb ass up.
Truth hurts, huh nigga? HUH NIGGA?!?!??!
If it’s dead and it’s f**k it why you bring it up when nobody’s talking about it?
I think Big Sean is a good artist. I just don’t understand why they think down playing their own album is good. If you feel you put out something you don’t like,fans maybe a little hesitant to buy your next album.
i didn’t either but i am 24 not a 14 year old
Neither did us, B.
Niggaz from the D must have fucked ya bitch and got that fake ass chain off ya neck…bitter ass fuckboy!
^^ Quit acting like you’re tough. Detroit, I hate y’all. I hope y’all burn to death.
I’m fuckin’ ya moms here in the D so I guess she burnin’ up too, fuckboy! AssAssAssAssAssAssAssAss!!!!
HE’S RIGHT! THAT WAS MAD TRASH!!
Ja Rule’s album was better and Big Sean knows it.
Ja,why you still hating?Are you still mad DMX & Em destroyed you career or are you still bitching about that shitty excuse you call a comeback album??
i like Big Sean but that shit wasn’t that good, Memories part 2 was decent though. Finally Famous vol. 3 was 10x better than the album.
Finally Famous Vol 3 was much better.
still licked dick
LOL got a fuckin chain with white jesus hanging from his neck..clown
Big Sean > GOOD… he needs to sign to YMCMB. swag
CO-SIGN
You both can share my dick but which one gets the left nut and who gets the right! g.o.o.d. dick bitches!
so icy shut the fuck up or else im gonna shove my dick in ur mom throat and jizz in it bitch
hahahaha
SALUTE TO MY NIGGA BIG SEAN.. THE YMCMB ASSOCIATES
hiphop is in danger to many wack mc’s like Big sean and faggots like Drake and Wayne.
agree
About time you finally stopped with coke!
I was listening to this shit the other day, and it is wack. Memories was the only good song and that was a remix…But all rappers albums are like that now. Hiphop is dead.
1st of all , if you’re not a big sean fan why are you even up here ? that proves you’re a hater if you talkin trash about em . . . 2nd , yeah Finally Famous Vol. 3 was wayy better then the album , but i certainly enjoyed the album still , most were the same songs , the main reason i enjoyed the album is because around that time whether it was new or old , i just enjoyed his songs . The only new song of that album that i really enjoyed was So Much More , High , and Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay .
Big Sean is a grown man. He can defend himself from criticism. Please take his phallus out of your mouth
Rappers still think about radio songs. the minute you think that you lose…
go make a fu-gee-la, a put your hands…., or even an cypress lowrider.
Nobody can front on that, if the song is dope enough it will get played. even rakim made fruckin house music, you dont have to water it down. stay true
look at the artists you named. now look at the time period those songs came out.
this is 2012. If its not radio friendly, its not getting major spins. Point blank. Its fucked up but its true. Then the bloggers complain about all the bullshit clouding the radio. Its because those people know what songs are gonna get spins.
None of those artists you named would have a single hit if they dropped an album today
Doesn’t matter. Dr. Dre is still the greatest rapper of all time.
Only in your wet dreams.
*wacka flocka
Join the club Sean
Lotta people here on Big Sean’s dick. Fuck these haters.
BLOW MY HUGE ASS DICK BITCH
for those that say hiphop died. youre right.
Hip hop died when fans started spending more time hating on artists that they dont like than supporting artists they do
PREACH!!! Nobody is buying music… just leeching it… everyone is too cool to “like” things
Who said they were fans in the first place? You don’t have to be a fan to comment on the internet, think about it.
PREACH
co fucking sign
thefist:
PREACH!!! Nobody is buying music… just leeching it… everyone is too cool to “like” things
GOOD…I GUESS WE FINALLY SHARE SOMETHING IN COMMON, SEAN!
predictable ass commment
Predictable ass response
Damn now i guess NOBODY likes that cookie cutter clone, soft as cotton, borderline gay sing song bullshit that you do
Big Sean Says He Didn’t Like Debut Album “Finally Famous”.
Neither did anyone else.
most original comment ive ever read
Wacky flocka flame ft. 2 Chain &, ja rule – Hip Hop is alive (scream)
Just beautiful. Adele who?
Yeah your album was so so. Step your game up and listren to the new Rick Ross album and discover the new meaning of incredibly lyrical hip hop.
wait….what?
Rick Ross lyrical??? GTFOH!!!! ROFLMAOOOOOO!!!!!!
EARTHQUAKE!!!! No, wait, it was just Biggie and Big Pun rollin’ over in their graves!
HIm and millions of other people didn’t like that shit. Thats why it didn’t shit.
the truth is all new school artists say this … wiz, drake big sean .. ect ect
its there way of getting old fans back and make people think that the next album will be better, lol its sad as fuck … TRU
proud to say i’ve never heard this guy’s voice
I know it’s cool to say this nowadays, but how do I know you won’t say the same shit about your new album a couple months after? How am I supposed to pay money for shit you don’t even like yourself? Music should be distributed freely
WACK music should be given away freely!! Just like this gay lil nigga!
boy , hiphopdx must feel stupid for giving this a good review now.
Fuck this nigga and his whole family
I don’t even know you and I hate you.
Only niggas moving units are Jay, Kanye and Wayne.
Eminem???
Notice I said NIGGAS. I can make a cracker honkeys list if you want to.
tha white boy outsellin dem NIGGAZ.. U MAD?
@anon and your point is fuck boy?
Notice I said NIGGAS. I can make a list of honkeys if you want to.
Drake ??
Drake?
I ain’t like it either. Waste of NO ID beats with except for a few tracks. He sounded better when he was rapping like Kanye.

to the dude who said “PEOPLE ARE TOO COOL TO LIKE THINGS NOWDAYS” that is the realest comment/reply in the history of the interwebs…hip hop is in trouble because of the consumer not the music
*deep sigh* i wonder why kanye west can’t learn from niggas like hov, dre(excluding chief keef)and em and sign rappers that actually have talent
really? so chief kief has talent? dude thats what g.o.o.d. music is ! TALENT, he’s got common, cudi, pusha t, q-tip, john legend, big sean, etc. He’s got dope producers too , lifted, hit boy, etc. You actually don’t know shit, go listen to some rick ross mr.”every idiot that listens rap”.
even he knows his album was wack he couldn’t even do j cole numbers
Rap is dead.
oh really? you must be from new york city? please stop hating other states, you lame.
I like his mixtapes much better. Some songs were alright tho
Sean is going to be the next platinum rapper.
he’s jalous on kendrick lamar, dizzy wright and all those selfmade rappers! he came out of nowhere………..easy comes easy go!
dude seans been around for awhile your just a fucking idiot. look up his early shit and his shit he did with mike posner, way better than his shit now.
He is together with 2 Chainz the reason I wont buy Cruel Summer. Why is Kanye signing them?
ye didn’t sign 2 chainz… he got him for one single, not once did tity boi sign any papers thank god.
We didn’t like your album either lil guy.
