Ep.78 - Big Sean

September 29, 2020 / 01:36:33/E78

On Ep. 78 of DITD: We deliver a retrospective on Big Sean, an artist that we think has reached critical mass and has had a fascinating arc from 2011 to now. FULL SHOW NOTES & TIMESTAMPS - https://share.transistor.fm/s/932ea639

Big Sean has been one of the biggest rap stars in the past decade. Regardless if you think his bars are corny or whatever. Sean's status is solidified. But listening back to his work; from the objectively cringe but subjectively funny "Finally Famous" & "Hall of Fame", to the more mature "I Decided" & "Detroit 2". A lot of opinions change, a lot of opinions are solidified, and our technology gets weird. It's all happening this episode.
