Fresh off the release of his third studio album Dark Sky Paradise, Big Sean stopped by The Whoolywood Shuffle and chatted it up with DJ Whoo Kid on a variety of topics including the Illuminati, the process of making the new album, his #IDFWU hashtag becoming a trend, the influence his grandmother had on him, and whether we can expect to hear him on Kendrick Lamar's upcoming new album.
When asked whether we'll hear a K. Dot collaboration on Lamar's new effort, Sean shrugged his shoulders and said, "No," but seemed to insinuate that he actually meant, '"Yes," especially after Whoo Kid egged him on.
So looks like we'll have to wait and see on this one.
However, Sean was recently accused of subtly dissing Lamar on his "Me, Myself and I" freestyle.
"Y'all braggin about so and so, like, 'Oh, he really it/ The new n***a in rap,' well, can he really spit?/ Or do he just hide behind his skits like half of these rappers do?/ And then y'all f**king go and praise him in this bitch like they savior of this sh*t," Sean raps.
Many took this to be a jab at Lamar, whose breakout album good kid m.A.A.d. city featured a handful of skits and who has been referred to frequently as the "savior" of hip-hop.
In an interview with MTV, Sean denied that it was about any rapper in particular but rather said it was aimed at fans who aren't using the proper measures to judge rap albums, giving albums with skits an inflated rating because they think skits make an album seem important.
"It wasn't even a dis to no rappers, it was a dis to the people," he said. "I feel like people get a little fuzzy-minded and brainwashed when it comes to, like, drama, or, 'He said this!' And they focus on one little part, or the skits. And that ain't it to me.
"If you got good skits on your album, I just feel like, that's awesome, but, you know, it takes more than that. And that was the whole point; it ain't even a dis to no rappers, it's a dis to how people think, they perception."
Even if the diss really was aimed at Lamar, that doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't collaborate on his new album considering Lamar dissed Sean on his own track, "Control." It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, man.
All we have to say is, hurry up already, K. Dot!
