Big Sean: Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

Bobby Carter | March 27, 2024
Most artists who play the Tiny Desk leave behind a small memento to live on the shelves. Big Sean gave us his special Detroit Tigers/J Dilla baseball cap, an item that speaks to who he is as an artist. Sean doesn't allow too much time to pass without reminding you of his native Detroit and his most recent freestyle samples an instrumental from the late great J Dilla. Sean pushed our boundaries, presenting one of the longest setlists in Tiny Desk history, but was also extremely gracious and collaborative with our team. This wasn't just another appearance for him. "It's something my kids can look back on, something my family can look back on to see where I was at in my career," he said before closing with the rambunctious "I Don't F*** With You."
Sean Anderson's journey from a high-pitched kid pining for the attention of Ye to one of the most respected lyricists and hitmakers in hip-hop is cleverly packed into this Tiny Desk concert. One of my favorite moments was when he touched on his background as a blog-era emcee. Most of the current kings and queens of hip-hop came up in the same era and it's hard to fathom what the culture would be without that class. Every word and song of his performance was deliberate: from "Memories," right up to the world premiere of "On Up," a song dedicated to his son, Noah, with whom he shares with singer Jhené Aiko, who also gets a bit of shine during his set.

    Big Sean lowkey got more hits than alot of the popular rappers out today. he just doesn’t get pushed in everyone’s faces on tik tok like certain others. his catalog is full of great songs that you can play at parties but also emotional songs that express who he is and what he really cares about without promoting negativity like killing other black men or doing/dealing drugs.

    I love big Sean for multiple reasons, so under rated, but this put it into perspective for me… I think I can break down his 3 core messages in his music: 1, don’t take anything for granted, tomorrow isn’t promised and count your blessings. 2, don’t let other people dictate your actions, there will always be haters, just keep grinding and do you. 3, It’s not a solo game, life is about the people around you, as you find success bring the people around you up with you.
