Life and career

1988–2003: Early life and career beginnings

Sean Michael Leonard Anderson was born on March 25, 1988 in Santa Monica, California to Myra and James Anderson. When he was 3 months old, he moved to Detroit, Michigan, where he was raised by his mother, a school teacher, and grandmother. He attended the Detroit Waldorf School and graduated from Cass Technical High School with a 3.7 GPA. Big Sean is often heard saying "west side" in his songs; he is referring to the west side of his hometown Detroit, Michigan. In his later years in high school, Sean gained a valuable relationship with Detroit hip-hop station WHTD; he would show his rhyming skills on a weekly basis as part of a rap battle contest held by the station. In 2005, Kanye West was doing a radio interview at 102.7 FM. Hearing about this, Sean headed over to the station to meet West and perform some freestyle. Initially West was reluctant to hear him, however he gave Sean 16 bars to rap for him. According to Big Sean, West enjoyed his freestyle: "As we get to the entrance of the radio station ... we stopped in the middle of the doorway. He starts looking at me and bobbing his head,". After the freestyle, Sean left West his demo tape. Two years later, West signed Big Sean to GOOD Music.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    First Chain (ft. Nas & Kid Cudi)

    by: Big Sean

    Coming from a city where bullets turn bro's into souls
    Who knew from that concrete that a rose had arose
    Good girls stopped being good when I turned 'em into hoes
    Dreams stopped being dreams when I turned 'em into goals
    BIG was the first one that had it
    Then I saw Nas' chain, man, that was illmatic
    Then I saw Kanye's hanging from his gold necklace
    Then Ye gave me mine, that show you my work ethic
    Mom had that hooptie that she ran in the dirt
    Used to pick me up from school right after work
    Now she rolling up in that Caddy like she coming to church
    She's ask why I rock all this gold, cause I'm coming in first
    Got the streets behind me like I was staring in the rear-view
    Used to have to take showers standing in the mildew
    Now I'm in the penthouse, look what a mill do
    Looking in the mirror and I'm still you, I'm still you
    Got my first chain
    Feeling like I got my first chain
    I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
    I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
    BIG was the first one that had it
    Now Jacob the Jeweler benefit from my habits
    I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
    I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
    What's the noise all about with this rap stuff
    I can say I never been punked, robbed or smacked up
    I can say I never been chased, jumped or backed up
    I learned to patch it up to get passes to niggas who be acting up
    Cause it's a mental game, I learned that when I got my first initial chain
    I didn't fake it, it was gold plated, I was posing relatin'
    To those dealing with blow, had the [?] it was those gangsters
    That bonus, that culture, those projects
    Shiny shit on their necks, making both of my eyes squint
    They got in my bones, now I'm coppin' stones
    Sorry Sierra Leone, one day we'll right the wrongs
    18 karat gold Cuban on, not too short, not too wide, not too long
    My pendant offensive, in the truest form
    Platinum gold, rose gold, what you want?
    BIG was the first one that had it
    Then I saw Nas' chain, man, that was illmatic
    And I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
    I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
    On a highway to heaven, look at all the tolls I paid
    I done gave my city drive all the roads I paved
    No matter what why I turn things go my way
    I'm rocking chains everyday, so you know I slave
    Even when I'm just walking 'round the crib, nigga
    To remind me of everything that we did, nigga
    Look up in the mirror, chain only thing lyin'
    No heroes where I'm from, bullets only thing flying
    I know the higher that I go, the harder to climb
    But after that, the bigger the muscle and smarter the mind
    Police only work 12-hour shifts
    Cause in Detroit that's cheaper than the bailout, bitch
    Trap house built brick by brick, paid dues on dues
    FF good, you know I'm reppin' crew on crews
    Stack bills on bills till my backyards got pools on pools
    Girls on girls, lingerie and Moulin Rouge
    God damn, I think I'm gon' O.D.
    Off this asparagus and bread and pasta
    Need a doctor, I've been dogding shady hoes and rainy days
    It's like I got a built-in doppler
    And it's a shame, a fuckin' shame
    I don't remember my first love or my first time prayin'
    But remember my first ass and the first time she came
    It almost felt as good as when I got my first chain
    Jay-Z taught me money ain't a thing
    Came from the streets, headed to the hall of fame
    Stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
    I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
    It's such a wonderful thing, to see the end of all things
    Niggas and bitches, where you at?
    I got my mind is on me
    A couple others and dreams, would've seen me
    Me and my niggas in this bitch
    About two months in a week's time
    Movin, feelin hellish [?] with lemon, lime shine
    Now how the fuck can I chill now?
    Kanye think I'm dope
    See this piece that I own now
    How sick is the rope?
    Taking life for what it is
    The troublesome chick, who throws fists
    Sometimes it's the weather
    Things switch up, people trip up
    The money come down, then climb up
    But when it come again
    The most creepin', deceivin', men are scheme-schemin'
    Saying that you love me, you surely do and if you don't
    Motherfuck that sometimes
    So dead it, shred it
    Young nigga lost to the night
    I'm so ready to let it go
    My life is fucking awesome, I could be fuckin' dead right now,
    But I'm awesome
    So fuck whoever has a bad thought
    Don't know the god
    Cause when I leave this bitch you all gon' wish you knew the God
    It might be too late, but the song's will live on
    Just know this fact, you were all wrong
    Now watch me do my silly dance
    Not really a dance, more like a prance
    I'm signing off with a crotch grab
    Thank you man. for letting me get on this record Sean
    You the coolest
    GOOD music nigga forever
