Video: Kanye West Makes Appearance At Big Sean’s Release Party
http://vimeo.com/25444492
Last night Big Sean had his album release party/show at Irving Plaza in NYC. Everyone and their mama’s were at the show. Except me. Unfortunately, I had to pass. After hearing about the event via tweets and some people I know, it was probably a bad idea to not take that plus 1 I was offered. Anyway, Big Sean performs I Do It and Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay. Then of course Kanye had to make his great appearance. Which was great. GO BUY THE ALBUM! So far its the best hip-hop album I’ve heard this year. Yes! This year.
I count Kanye’s album toward last year.

I still think that tattoo of Mariah on his back is the worst. And ninja please stop wearing those New Era hats, the street look doesn’t fit you, and there’s nothing wrong with that. #GotTheGameMixedUp
