Big Sean's 'Finally Famous 2' - A Review of the Deluxe Edition

The deluxe edition of Big Sean's album 'Finally Famous 2' features a star-studded list of guests, including Kanye West, The-Dream, Lupe Fiasco, Pharrell, John Legend, Wiz Khalifa, and Chris Brown. While some may argue that Big Sean gets lost in the shuffle alongside such heavy-hitting collaborators, he still manages to hold his own on many tracks.

One standout verse comes from Clipse's Pusha T on the album closer '100 Keys'. In comparison, Big Sean's delivery sounds a bit lighter, but it's clear that he's trying to make an impact. The lyrics may not be particularly complex or groundbreaking, but they're delivered with enough enthusiasm and energy to make up for it.

On individual tracks, Big Sean's style works surprisingly well. Rather than relying on intricate lyrics, he excels at playing with language, speeding up his voice to create a frenetic pace that keeps listeners engaged. He also shows off his ability to adapt to different beats, effortlessly sliding into the cracks of No I.D.'s lush soul samples or riding the heavier, more radio-friendly tracks like 'Marvin & Chardonnay', which features a verse from Kanye West.

While 'Finally Famous 2' may not be particularly nuanced or innovative, Big Sean is an entertaining rapper who knows how to work a track. His appeal lies in his ability to make even the blandest lyrics sound interesting through his delivery alone. Fans of hip-hop will likely find plenty to enjoy on this album, even if it doesn't break new ground.
