Life would be so much different for everyone. Like, we all wonder what it would be like if we could give our current wisdom to our younger selves. Basically, I Decided is about his older, more mature self talking to his younger self. I was listening to a radio interview with Big Sean over the weekend and he was explaining the album. When I think about it though, it gave that project a lot of publicity. I just don’t like it when their careers begin to revolve around their relationship instead of the music. I honestly love Jhene and Sean together, as a couple and musically. So, in 2016 there were several rumors of Jhene Aiko getting married, cheating with Big Sean, and then divorcing her husband of a very short time. It seems like the formula for most artists. I feel like this is one of those situations where the third album brings you back to the vibes of the debut album. This record gave us singles “IDFWU”, ”Blessings”, “I Know”, “One Man Can Change the World”, and my personal favorite “Play No Games” featuring Chris Brown. I got more into his music when he came out with Dark Sky Paradise in 2015. So, other than hearing his songs on the radio, I wasn’t really listening to him like that. The only song I was really a fan of at the time was “Beware” with Jhene Aiko.
He released his second studio album Hall of Fame in 2013. I remember that “My Last” was my favorite song for the longest and I will still jam to it if I hear it now. That album gave us hot songs like “My Last” featuring Chris Brown, “Marvin & Chardonnay” with Roscoe Dash, and “Dance A$$” with a verse by Nicki Minaj. In 2011, Big Sean’s debut studio album Finally Famous was released. 2 years later Sean was signed to Kanye’s label GOOD music. Kanye listened, enjoyed it, and Sean left him a demo. To sum up his “big break” and how he connected with Kanye West: Kanye was doing a radio interview in Detroit, Sean went to the station and was given the opportunity to free-style for Kanye. So, he was raised and grew up in Detroit (the home of a lot of amazing musicians). Sean Michael Leonard Anderson aka Big Sean was born in California but moved to Detroit around 3 years old. But I can honestly say that Big Sean’s new album I Decided has changed that. The lyrical content just hasn’t been there for me.
One reason is because it’s been hard for me to connect to Rap/ Hip Hop albums. The artist I am bringing you today is honestly someone that I didn’t think I would be posting on a Monday. It gave me time to really listen to music and find albums I really love.
But that is exactly why I have my music and you guys 🙂 I’m glad that I took a little break from my MCM for a little while. Well it’s Monday and it’s getting harder to happy about this particular day of the week.
