Hall of Fame is the second studio album by American hip hop recording artist Big Sean. The album was released on August 27, 2013, through GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings. Big Sean said that Hall of Fame is a far more inspirational and a more conceptually-driven project than his debut album. He intends to "teach and make a lasting impact on peoples lives with this album." The album includes skits to give it a "classic feel." The album features guest appearances by Nas, Common, 2 Chainz, Kid Cudi, Lil Wayne, Juicy J, Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, Miguel and Young Jeezy among others. The album's production was mainly handled by No I.D., and Key Wane along with additional production from Hit-Boy, Da Internz, and Young Chop among others.

The album was supported by four singles: "Guap" which peaked at number 71 on the US Billboard Hot 100, "Switch Up" featuring Common, the lead single "Beware" featuring Lil Wayne and Jhené Aiko, which peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Fire". The album was included on multiple "Most Anticipated Albums of 2013" lists including ones by MTV, XXL and Complex.

Background

On September 27, 2012, Big Sean announced the title of the album as Hall of Fame: Memoirs of a Detroit Player, and announced a release date of December 2012.[1] Sean stated that he picked the title because,

"that's just what I am. You're going to hear times I went through that I feel like situations are really going to be relatable to people."[2] Shortly afterwards, he stated that he, "didn't want to just do another club song,"[3] and that he was, "not going by the label standards. I'm not going by the club standards. This is just what the fuck I want to do. Some people are going to like it. Some people are going to hate it; regardless, I'm just doing me."[4]

Sean has said that Hall of Fame would be a far more inspirational and a more conceptually-driven project than his debut album. He went on to say he wanted to teach and make a lasting impact on peoples lives with this album.[5] Soon after in an interview with Power 105 Sean stated he would include skits in the album and every album after to give them a "classic feel." Also indicating that the song "Mula" which features French Montana from the mixtape Detroit could be featured as a deluxe edition track.[6]

Sean has said that the album features all types of songs and everyone that has heard it has been "blown away" by it including Kanye West, No I.D., Sway Calloway, J. Cole, Pharrell Williams, Common and Billboard Magazine.[7] The single from GOOD Music album Cruel Summer, "Clique" was originally supposed to be featured on this album.[8][9] On December 19, 2012 Sean said that the album was 80% finished.[10] The album was included on multiple "Most Anticipated Albums of 2013" lists including MTV, being ranked fourth by XXL Magazine and eleventh by Complex Magazine.[11][12][13]

Guests and production

In regards to features and production, he revealed that Kanye West, Nas, Tyga, Common and Jhené Aiko are confirmed to make appearances as features, while West, No I.D., KeY Wane, Hit-Boy and Young Chop are producers on the album.[3][4][14] He would later confirm features from Miguel, Kid Cudi and other members of the G.O.O.D. Music.[15][16] In an interview with Tim Westwood on November 28, 2012, he announced that Eminem had invited him to come to the studio, along with announcing that he had renamed the album from Hall of Fame: Memoirs of a Detroit Player to just Hall of Fame.[17] On March 12, 2013 along with revealing a slew of songs on the album Big Sean announced there would be songs featuring Lil Wayne, Juicy J and 2 Chainz on the album. He also revealed that he worked with DJ Camper, DJ Mano, Da Internz and Rio on the album production wise.[17]

On April 26, 2013, Sean finally had his studio session with Eminem, that also included Royce da 5'9" and Mr. Porter.[18][19] On June 8, 2013, Big Sean talked with MTV News about his almost full day studio session with Eminem, promising a potential final product and labeling it a "Detroit classic" but being unsure if it will appear either on Hall of Fame or on Eminem's upcoming eighth studio album.[20] However, he would explain that Eminem was too busy working on his album to get on Hall of Fame.[21]

On July 17, 2013, in an interview with ThisisMaxTV, Sean announced that Ellie Goulding would be featured on the album.[22] At an August 1, 2013 listening session he revealed additional features from Nicki Minaj, Young Jeezy and Doughboyz Cashout.[23] In August 2013, Big Sean told Rolling Stone that the album was primarily produced by No ID and childhood friend Key Wane, with Kanye West having a much smaller presence on the album then Sean's debut album. The final version of the album featured less guest appearances then his previous album, Sean saying he wanted to "limit it to the important ones".[21] The final tracklist contained guest appearances from Ellie Goulding, Lil Wayne, Jhené Aiko, Nas, Kid Cudi, Nicki Minaj, Juicy J, Young Jeezy, Payroll of Doughboyz Cashout, James Fauntleroy, Miguel, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Earlly Mac, Pharrell Williams and Common.[24]

Release and promotion

Big Sean released the mixtape Detroit on September 5, 2012, in promotion for the album. The mixtape consists of completely original songs. The mixtape features guest appearances from fellow rappers J. Cole, Juicy J, King Chip, French Montana, Royce da 5'9", Kendrick Lamar, Tyga, Chris Brown, Wale and Wiz Khalifa along with track narrations by Common, Young Jeezy and Snoop Lion. Production derives from Hit-Boy, Da Internz, Lex Luger and KeY Wane[1]

In the months leading up to the release of Hall of Fame, Big Sean has gone on to release a handful of inspirational video blogs that touch on how he’s gotten to where he’s at in his career and what he plans on doing to further his position in music.[7] His vlogs have featured cameos from Kanye West, 2 Chainz, Pusha T, Common, No I.D., Rita Ora, Trey Songz, Wale, Wiz Khalifa, Lupe Fiasco, Teyana Taylor, and T-Pain among others.[25] Starting on February 23 Sean began a European tour in promotion of the album that continued until March 13, 2013.[26]

After initially announcing a December 18, 2012, release date for the album, it was revealed that the album would be pushed back to February 2013 due to it not yet being ready.[6][27] However it was yet again pushed back with Sean saying at the beginning of February that the album was almost finished and that the second single would be released this month. He announced an expected release date of June 2013.[16] Then on June 22, he released a video on YouTube where he previewed one of the songs "Nothing Is Stopping You" and announced a release date of August 27, 2013 for the album.[28] On July 26, 2013, Sean revealed the standard and deluxe edition album covers via his Instagram.[29]

Sean recorded a song for the album featuring Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica, and produced by No ID titled "Control". However, he could not include it on the album due to sample clearing issues.[30] So on August 14, 2013, it was sent to Urban contemporary radio as one of the album's promotional singles.[31] Lamar's verse caused controversy as he "called out" J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale, Pusha T, Meek Mill, ASAP Rocky, Drake, Sean, Jay Electronica, Tyler, The Creator, and Mac Miller and called himself the "King of New York".[32] Many rappers took offense to the lines without even being mentioned by name. Rappers including Lupe Fiasco, Papoose, Joell Ortiz, Cassidy, Riff Raff, Joe Budden, ASAP Ferg, JR Writer, King Los, The Mad Rapper, Mickey Factz, Mysonne, Bizarre, Uncle Murda, Fred The Godson, and B.o.B all released a response or a diss song within a week.[33][34][35][36][37][38][39] The song has since peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and number 43 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.[40]

Singles

On October 6, 2012, in an interview discussing the album, Sean revealed that the first single would be released within the, "next ten days."[3] He later added that the song, "ain't no turn-up song. I wanted to do something a little bit different. I wanted to do some shit that I really was inspired by, something that strikes an emotional chord in people." Later that day, he tweeted that he decided to hold back on the emotional songs for a bit and would release the single "Guap" instead.[41] It was released on October 26, 2012.[42] The song was produced by Key Wane and Young Chop.[43] The song has since peaked at number 71 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[44] The second single, "Switch Up", was announced along with its artwork by Big Sean on April 5, 2013, and shortly after the audio was premiered.[45] The single featured fellow rapper Common, while the production was handled by DJ Mano and No I.D..[46] The song was released for digital download the following day.[47] It has since peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.[48] However both songs would be moved to be just on the deluxe edition of the album.

On June 25, 2013, Sean released the album's lead single, "Beware", featuring rapper Lil Wayne and singer Jhené Aiko[49][50][51] to iTunes.[52] On July 9, 2013 the song was sent to Rhythmic contemporary radio.[53][54] The song has reached a peak of number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100.[55] On August 16, 2013, the music video was released for "Beware" featuring Lil Wayne and Jhené Aiko.[56][44]

On July 29, 2013, a low quality version of the song "Fire" leaked online, which resulted in Big Sean releasing the full version later that day.[57][58] On August 2, 2013, the music video starring singer Miley Cyrus was released for the song.[59] "Fire" was released on August 20, 2013 as the album's fourth single.[60] The song has since peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.[61]

Hall of Fame was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 73, based on 8 reviews.[62] Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly gave the album an A–, saying "Hall of Fame also has the sort of just-happy-to-be-here vibe that used to run through Diddy's extended Bad Boy crew in the late '90s — had Sean been born 15 years earlier, he would have fit right in rapping between Lil' Kim and Mase. Then again, maybe he doesn't need a team; Fame finds him rising above even his strongest guest stars. Maybe that's the message of the album: In this fun-loving, hedonistic carnival, Sean is the barker in the center ring."[64] At USA Today, Edna Gunderson called this an "outstanding second album" that he "occasionally stumbles" in an effort that is a "smart set of slick club thumpers, tear-jerkers and introspective yarns."[70] Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone gave the album three out of five stars, saying "Big Sean's second LP might've already been overshadowed by a Big Sean song that isn't on it – "Control," where guest Kendrick Lamar carpet-bomb-dissed a generation of rappers, including Big Sean. It's too bad: The Detroit MC gets over on congeniality and crisp delivery, even when his lyrics are pro forma. Producers No I.D. and Key Wane give him sharp, energetic tracks, and "First Chain" hints at what might've been a great concept in a year when his hometown went bankrupt: "Police only work 12-hour shifts/'Cause in Detroit, that's cheaper than the bailout, bitch." Such full-throated realism takes insight and gravitas he doesn't quite have."[67] At The Oakland Press, Gary Graff noted that "'Hall of Fame' is still a solid, confident and diverse set that shows how much he's grown as both an MC and a writer since 'Finally Famous' came out in 2011."[66]

Andrea Aguilar of HipHopDX gave the album three and a half stars out of five, saying "As a whole, the feel-good album’s set of eclectic beats doesn’t disappoint, but it lacks diversity.
