Big Sean Doesn’t Mind If Drake “Borrows” His Style

From the track “Round of Applause” to Take Care‘s “Underground Kings,” a lot of speculation has been brewing over whether or not Drake has been biting G.O.O.D Music artist, Big Sean’s voice cracking inflection.

The Finally Famous MC revealed to XXLMag.com that, whether that’s the case or not, there’s no ill will.

“I don’t feel no way about [all these rumors],” Sean tells XXL. “A lot of people make it so that me and him have beef and it ain’t no beef between us. Drake is one of my favorite artists and I ain’t got nothing against the guy. I respect his work. No problems at all.”

In the past, Drake has admitted to borrowing the Detroit-native’s style, specifically channeling his signature “Supa-Dupa” flow.

“That flow, I trace it back to Big Sean,” he said during an interview. “That’s the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I’ll give him that credit.”

But Sean gives Drake credit for influencing hip-hop in his own way. “As far as styles go, [Drake's] made a lot of styles up himself,” he said. “He’s definitely someone that hip-hop really needs.”

Pusha T Talks About Beef With Consequence

Consequence Replies To Pusha T, Claims Jay-Z Is The Only Person Who Could Dead G.O.O.D. Music Beef

DAMN...he is ONE FUGLY MFKR

Hip Hop DX reports — Yesterday, Pusha T responded to Consequence’s diss track “The Plagurist Society” by declaring that “nobody’s ever checked” for his music. Less than 24 hours later, Cons hopped on the horn with 107.5 WGCI’s The Morning Riot (via FSD) to respond to the Clipse member’s words, declaring that he “lyrically cannot compete” and that his claims were disrespectful. He also released a scathing diss track titled “Everybody Told Me to Straighten It Out.”

“In regards to the interview that the guy did, when you’re dancing around issues when it comes to Hip Hop and microphone confrontations and battles, it really shows one thing: it shows that he can’t compete,” he said. “And I’ma say this clearly. He lyrically cannot compete, and that’s the reason for the extra smoke and mirrors and that attempt at discrediting.”

He specifically addressed Pusha Ton’s claims that “nobody’s checking” for him, explaining that his placement on Beyonce’s new album 4 with the song “Party” proves he’s relevant. He took it even one step further, claiming that he’s a cut above the rest.

“As it stands right now, I’m the most talked-about commodity in Hip Hop. And I’ma go out here and say it: I’m probably the best pure lyricist in Hip Hop and in music right now and along the elite songwriters in the game,” he continued. “I’ma prove it because I’ma drop the biggest blockbuster this summer in the form of Movies on Demand 3.

“That guy said, ‘He’s an outsider and I’m an insider,’” he continued. “Let me tell you why Kanye West has never said anything to him regarding our situation. He’s never said anything to him regarding our situation because he’s a worker. He’s a worker! He was jet fuel for Pharrell Williams, and he’s going to be jet fuel for Kanye West. He’s a live body.”

In regards to deading the beef, Cons says that the only way he could ever resolve his issues with ‘Ye and the G.O.O.D. Music team would be if Jay-Z intervened and had a face-to-face talk.

“I’m the brother who’s not going to stand back and watch him do what he’s doing and be up to no good without saying anything. So at this point, I’m going to be honest with Chicago, it’s gotten a little past Kanye at this point. This ‘campaign of terror’ is going to continue until Jay-Z intervenes. And when Jay-Z and Consequence have a gentlemen’s conversation, this will come to an end.”

Big Sean Discusses “UNCLE OTIS” Diss

Hip Hop DX reports — The man with the Supa Dupa flow addresses the various beefs between his G.O.O.D. Music family and a few disgruntled rappers.

As a member of Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music family, Big Sean has the potential to get roped into beefs between label mates and other rappers. But with Consequence lashing out at G.O.O.D. and ‘Ye, the Detroit, Michigan native explains that he’s steering clear of the drama.

“Kanye, that situation with him and Consequence, that’s way personal. That’s not a random dude dissing. That was somebody who was part of the fam, was all in the fam together and then they had their problems,” he told Power 105’s The Breakfast Club.

But he was quick to clarify, stating that G.O.O.D. Music is like family. “We all got each other’s back,” he continued. “It’s really a family business. There’s been times when we got into real arguments about like, ‘Man, this ain’t right, this ain’t family!’ There have been times where people have really crossed the line, it’s been times where we had to really check one another. But he’s respectful, just like family is.”
