Big Sean released his debut album, Finally Famous, after releasing three mixtapes with the same name. There was a heavy buzz surrounding Big Sean around a year ago and as he released his album much later than anticipated, many of hip-hop’s critics and writers were already tired of Big Sean’s flow.
Yes, his story is inspiring and it was miraculous success. We’ve all heard his story in interviews about how he was basically signed off of freestyling in front of Kanye West. That’s all great and I’m proud of him but it’s gotten to the point where there’s only so much a buzz can do. This album was the ultimate test of worth of Big Sean’s career.
