The whole story he told about his meet with Kanye is the true aspect of the saying "when opportunity knocks." You have to always pay attention to the chances you have to get to where you want. If he would have just blew his friend off, or even the idea of just waiting to cash his check and going afterwards, he may have missed his moment with Kanye. That's why it's so crucial to keep an open mind and open your eyes to everything.
I'd Also would like to add to your great comment, that he was always prepared. From rapping @ the radio, to having rhymes ready to spit to Kanye, to already having it on CD to give. To still writing in the hood between the deal & even rapping improtu on stage. He had them rhymes written, recorded & ready JAY FLO (TV)
+JeLani “DJ Jay Bee” Butler that's what's up. That goes to prove that you don't necessarily have to be a top notch freestyle rapper to make it as long as you have a good since of writing if you write and make since of it especially if you add going beyond that like you said doing shows putting together songs working your craft you can get people's attention and timing is a player in that too when getting in front of the right people too sometimes you can be in front of the right person at the wrong time too
respect for giving sean and his mom a ride in his Maybach. i know some may think "oh its cuz its big sean" but back then sean was a nobody and for kanye to do that for a broke kid and his mom that's an act of kindness.
His story really would make a great movie. Growing up in the D, battling at the station, Going to the station to meet kanye, still being in high school at cass, not going on to college tho he had a 3.7 GPA, in between so many ups and downs in contact with kanye, wondering whats really gonna happen with his life, then finally getting signed to GOOD at the end of the Movie. It would be a classic.
I love Big Sean so much. Definitely one of my fave rappers ever. His story is so inspiring & he's definitely worked his ass off. It's refreshing to see how humble he is. I can't wait for Finally Famous to drop!
Shows what God & good homies can do for you, most people would discourage you if you tried to rap or do something for a celebrity/hero but everyone around him helped..... i know his homies are living very well today for helping him out..
Dude I straight up cried after hearing his story man. He went through some hard shit to get to where he is now. I have nothing but deep respect for both kanye and big Sean.
damn cuz... that shit he was sayin about watchin his peers progress in school while he was in the same spot... THE STORY OF MY LIFE....... ON EVERYTHING..... I'm tryin to get my music heard on some shit too....
this is the new hip hop a humble rapper that appreciates were he came from and were hes goin him drake and jcole r the new faces of hip hop hope we have more like em
yo big sean keeps it real as hell man hahahah i died like 3 times watching this shit .. i swear this dude went thru exactly what i feel like id go thru as an up and comer meeting big time dudes. respect to big sean tho for doin his thing, i fuck with his music
This shit made me cry the first time in 2 years.Because I feel him .The live he explained before fame explains me now .Money for the studio ,no money for food.Pick up pennys at mcdonalds.Daam...Fuck anyone who says kanye's a jerk .He literally change the life of a man who was going through times .So what he disrespected taylor swift.Shit happens .That man has a HEART
I just seen him at mike posner as a special guess and I got to hug him best day of my life so far he if you think he's cute on tv videos etc wait till you see him in real life omg !
Man God blessed this man with an opportunity of a lifetime. Rappers dont even come to my city at a radio station. Mater of fact we can't even afford a damn station.lol I hope someday my dreams will come true. One day I know it will. To any body that has a dream but cant get an opportunity, keep your head up man and things will work out cause I am. I got a dream to do this music shit and I gonna pursue it you watch.
I love this video and that Big Sean is just REAL... AND funny:) I met him at Joy Rich at Taz TI$A Arnold's event and he is just as nice in person. I also love that he rocked the TI$A logo cause Taz is my dude:)

so true. inspiring as fuck!
It's stories like this that motivate me to push
I agree
I appreciate Big Sean's honesty. Very inspiring!
Anyone stop by here every now and then to get motivated? 2020 anyone?
If you listen to the first song from Big Sean's album Hall of Fame he talks about this in his first song. That's a real rapper.
Mmm-maaaannnn that shit sound stupid.
Then I hung up on his ass, then called him back like "fuck let's do it."
I can't believe how close his chance, his DREAM, slipped away from him. And he caught it.
So inspirational

That was one of the most interesting stories I've heard in an interview. I fucks with Big Sean
I’m here after Ye said that the worst thing he’s ever done was signing Sean.
This is really motivational. I look up to stories like this so that one day I can tell mine
One of the best interviews i've seen in a while. Big S/O to HardKnock TV for interviews like this.
When one of the most influential and popular rap artist in the world shows interest in you it's a good thing.
Now we know the background for the song Nothing is Stopping you!
Shows what God & good homies can do for you, most people would discourage you if you tried to rap or do something for a celebrity/hero but everyone around him helped..... i know his homies are living very well today for helping him out..
lol Big Sean's been telling that story in his mixtapes since 2007
Dude I straight up cried after hearing his story man. He went through some hard shit to get to where he is now. I have nothing but deep respect for both kanye and big Sean.
