    1. I’m liking what I’m hearing from Big Sean’s album so far. This might even be the best hiphop album I’ve heard since Nas’ last. I always thought Big Sean had the potential to be great, but he was using his powers for evil. He lost a lot of fans because of his first album, and people didn’t really take him seriously. I’m glad he realized he fucked up, and is now making an effort to put out the best music possible. I’m actually impressed by this song. Great verses, great beat, Nas was dope, I can’t complain.

      1. Nas’ Life is Good is the album of the year, hands down. I’m not a Big Sean fan though. He gets murked by all of his guest appearances.

    2. there needs to be a balance in hip hop

      like premo said

      “we want to it like it was back in the days. Turntables, mic and rockin’ it straight up live.”

      rhymes beats and cuts

    3. I’m not feeling this beat. First off Big Sean needs to stop saying BIG thinking he is Biggie or something. This song isn’t all that great, nobody gives a damn about your gold chains. This song starts off a Big Sean song and turns into a Cudi track…
      3.5/5

    4. Weak? Why does Nas does a song with Big Sean? Probably for the money since this nigga is broke. Fuck phony Nas Escobar

      1. ^^Yeah I couldn’t believe that he did a song with Tyga’s garbage-ass, but I guess he could not say no to that check.

    5. I like it but I think he kinda bit of his homie j.cole with the concept with (chaining day j.cole ) and the nas reference but its still a okay song

    6. dope. Truthfully if you get past his arrogance Big sean can rap his ass off…Nas has been killing everything for like a year and change now. Kid Cudis flow is sooooo garbo

    7. ehh.. whatevs… I guess he is getting a bunch of “hall of fame”ers to “make” his album. Haven’t really heard a good song off the album yet though. This album will be forgotten in a year or so. 2/5

      1. Agreed. I sorta like “Beware” only because of the Jhene feature, but his other singles I have not liked at all.

    8. I really don’t get the hype with Big Sean. Idk, I’m only 22 but shit I think even Drake is better. IMO Sean is nowhere near Kendrick or Cole, or even A$AP. I refuse to believe that Em was genuinely impressed with this album. Average rapper with more hype than talent. Cudi was dope though. MOTM3 2015.

      1. ASAP is TRASH! You failed… The hole ASAP clown posse is trash… They need to get the fuck up out of New York with that soldier boy simple minded bullshit! FOH!

    9. Nas and Sean did their thing and Cudi’s melodies and sincerity in his lyrics just put the cherry on the already perfect piece.

    10. people becoming really not impressed with sean, and i think it’s mostly ’cause of HoF songs.

      and not just control.

    11. nas graced the track. cudi felt & sounded out of place.. verse was barely coherent. sean did the best someone could do vs a nas guest verse. beat is good.

    12. Nas has been impeccable the last few years. Life is Good was incredible so was Distant Relatives. The only track that I really didn’t like was on MCHG. Go figure, two GOATS on a dud.

    13. what the FUCK is Nas doing on a track with Big Sean and Kid Cudi. Those 2 are honestly, imo, 2 of the top 10 worst “rappers” of all time while Nas is a top 10 rapper of all time

    14. Nas is a fuckin hypocrite man.. Talk about wack niggas in the mainstream + hip hop dying but he does these tracks with these guys and will.i.am and all them. Who else would Nas be talking about when he says niggas are wack

      1. you hipster ass niggas need to drop dead with this bullshit. Nas can collab with anyone he fuckin wants. With the career he’s had, Nas who 90% of the time will murder the rappers he jumps on a track with, has earned the right to collab with whoever he wants. he been on a track with Wale and Tyga for god’s sake, SEVERAL tracks with Rick Ross… nigga he can’t go any lower than that.

        but you still actin like he rang up Trinidad James and Soulja Boy. chill out and let the man live

      2. @ ETK

        Its about having standaards nigga. Nas shouldnt work with big sean or tyga. So i guess if Nas does a song with Miley Cyrus then its cool because Nas outshines Miley on the track? Fuck off nigga! Niggas nowadays contradicting themselfs to much. So its cool Eminem did a song with homo Elton John? I mean didnt Eminem always diss homos?

    15. big sean and kid cudi are actually the better rappers out today, its not like nas is jumpin on tinadad james songs

    16. Why do real dudes as Nas & Cudi team up with this fake rapper ?
      Kendrick, Jay E, Nas, Cudi. Jesus, leave that guy alone. He’s wack.

      1. Because he’s not wack, and they know that? If he was as wack as everyone claims, why would someone like Nas do a song with him?

    17. dope!! that beat is sick. reminds me of how boom bap beats are supposed to be, otherwise nas wouldn’t be here.

    18. Nigga you aint B.I.G.! You are: small, little, weak or wack SEAN! You are just hype and nothing more. Your album have only got publicity becaue of Kendrick, Nas etc. You from DETROIT then whyb you sound south? Scare to represent detroit?

      1. All that shit you talk about him, and yet his bank account is still bigger than yours will ever be LMAO get the fuck out of here with that hate

      2. bigs monetary value shouldnt influence anyones opinion. that being said, you a retarded ass nigga, big sean must mention the D at least once in every song and you sayin he aint reppin his city? foh. you a ignant ass nigga if you think hall of fame got hype only cause of the features. this nigga big sean been known for a minute and he aint even drop his sophmore album. if you think hes whack you dont know rap cause he bodies every song he features in, in cruel summer.

    19. song is coo. this song better than anything he did on his last album. i agree with below comment, vinyl cracking sound is a little too much.

      3 stars

      1. the vinyl cracking a problem?? u fuckin homo….u can’t possibly be a true hip hop fan…go listen to bieber u fag

      1. yeah, he being an arrogant ass nigga, and i think this album will humble him cause it probably wont be as good as he says, (it already isnt) but give credit to where its due, this track isnt ass. he got features that sounded good on this production, and he dropped a couple of solid bars.

    20. this is a good song what the hell is wrong with you guys? Big Sean is making good music and while there may be other rappers who are better lyrically, it doesnt change the fact that he puts together full songs and they dont. This is a good song man.

      1. ok youre right there are some others obviously..he is consistently making complete songs though which is more than 99 percent of current rappers can say. Seriously was Holy Grail anything special? no. Yeezus? No. Theres a couple good songs on everyones album now but thats it. Guys like Big Sean and Drake-while I used to not listen-are unfortunately the guys consitently putting out songs that are good. There are good lyricists who get terrible beats and great beats that go to bad lyricists. There are the 2chainz, the futures, etc.

    21. I don’t really listen to Sean that much but does he ever make songs by himself? Or does he rely on features to make good songs?

    22. This song was garbage..Big Sean had trouble riding the beat alot of times during his verse and his voice sounds like he’s beggin you not to kick his a*s.. Kid Cudi sounded like Gutta Gutta on this joint he should never attempt anything outside of his hipster nerd super galactical star trek jams. Nas might be the reason im givin this song 3 songs, if not for him it’d be a 2.

      1. you coulda saved my time by saying sean n cudi werent good and nas did his usual business..but instead you hadda cry for a couple long sentencs

    23. another good song.. but another song where the guest overshadows the person whose song it is. kendrick now nas

      1. haha yea yea, only kendrick and nas…you act like those 2 are rookies or something. those aint no amateur hour rappers you’re talking about. those are top the shelf, unfuckwitable, class A rappers

    24. Nice beat that had potential but then Sean ruins it with a tired concept “Stuntin like I got my first chain”. And his usual lack of energy. His voice sounds like one of those dorky kids at school.

    25. I’m not a big sean fan but this is cool…beats pretty dope. Atleast it doesnt’ have somebody yelling bang bang

    26. I can dig the track. Sounds like a Kanye throwaway beat. Nas collab made it special. How come Kid Cudi crack-head ass always mumbling on tracks; I can barely understand what he saying half the verse. He has a very ackward flow due to his drug abuse. Clean it up Kid, somebody in GoodMusic click save/intervent Cudi before we read about him on HipHopDX in a bad way. That’s real

      1. Kid Cudi doesn’t pride on being a good rapper, you dum dum. he said it himself. he’s just on about making good music, with his vocals or good production

    27. kkk hood could be looking threw your windows. or rabbit mask devils.yea theirs jasons out their.also seen a dog with santa clause mask on with rabbits on him eating em. while dog start jumping at mother fuckers.

    28. Big sean doesnt always get d props he deserves as a good ass rapper..he came through dope on this joint,if u say otherwise u just a hater.

      1. oh ya original like earl or tyler? I cant listen to that weird ass shit. Big Sean is fuckin good and makes good songs. Maybe youd prefer more 2chainz, Trinidad James, etc??

      2. wichever fuck nigga said Nas duckin Eminem, needs to realise Nas has always been selective bout his collabos. U cant be on a track wit da God talkin dat pill-poppin, gay ass, cross dressin bullshit Eminem be spittin

    29. First Kendrick now NaS killed him on his own shit. Well, NaS killing him makes sense. PS Should’ve had Andre 3 stacks instead of cudi on this.

      1. When will Nas do a track with Kendrick? Or will this “great” rapper duck him like he stay ducking Eminem for decades now?

      1. Cudi didn’t murder shit. Nothing he said rhymed. If you’re not gonna rhyme the verse should at least have some deep meaning behind it which it didn’t. He was just rambling foolishness.

    30. cool big sean is on he way he knows how to make songz real talk nas youll know what it is with he king god mc true nigga

      1. jay-z, kanye, nas, j cole , drake , kendrick, eminem, rick ross, pusha t, andre 3000, ghostface, school boy Q , asap rocky, jay electronica, big krit, danny brown, joey bad ass would all have to die at the same time , then he would challenge for number 1

      1. numbers only mean something to the record execs, stop playing that ish and think for yourself….what ? its only good if it sells millions….vanilla ice and hammer would be amongst the greatest ever ??? come on, smarten up and think for yourself…

    31. what’s with the big sean hate. so unwaranted!!! dude is nice, go listen to memory part 1 by him and tell me he is not nice!!

    32. this pi$$es all over drake wu tang forever track, not up on todays pop music like wayne, drake or whoever but if the future is in hands of people like J Cole, Big Sean and a couple of others then nothing to worry about, the culture can be happy that these younguns are carrying the torch, wont over react by giving it a 5, but an above average 4
