    Being from Michigan, I want Big Sean to bring all the success and shine he can to our state. But I think eventually his gimmick is going to play out soon. J. Cole’s just got that flow that’s never gonna get old. I’ve got to give the edge to him now, and for the foreseeable future.

    being sober for 8 months straight makes you realize how shitty rap really is. Same few topics in almost every song. I’ve been searchin for some depth, and right now J. Cole is one of the few who supplies that for me so I gotta pick him even over the michigan man boiii

    Big sean doesn’t talk about money, bitches, etc. like every other rapper and still manages to maintain a high level of swag

      Dale are you serious?! Big Sean’s go-to line is always something similar to “I f*cked yo b*tch!” Lot’s of rappers brag about money, cars, women, etc. and Big Sean is no different. I’m not saying that’s all he talks about, but to say he doesn’t talk about those subjects at all is naive. Sit down and listen to Finally Famous (the last mixtape and the album), then listen to Cole World and Friday Night Lights and you tell me who’s got more substance to their lyrics.

    his album is the only time i’ve heard him rap about other stuff, like memories and don’t tell me you love me… those are the only two songs i can think of

    I am a heavy Big Sean and J. Cole fan. Big Sean all the way tho. If you say all he raps about is Bitches and Money, listen to “Dont Tell Me You Love Me” or MY favorite song of his “Say You Will” off “UKNOWBIGSEAN” mixtape (Finally Famous Volume 2)
