Katherine St Asaph: Big Sean is not a good rapper, after several years he remains not a good rapper, and here in particular he comes off like someone who doesn’t realize his biggest blessing of all is that people overlook that. I can’t imagine how; him against this grimdark beat is like a middle schooler’s home-acted YouTube trailer for Game of Thrones.

Alfred Soto: Big Sean has several tracks on his mediocre third album on which he acquits himself without fuss, but when Fucking Drake presses against him the star overwhelms the plebe. Proficient, I guess, but I was like Matthew Broderick grading Reese Witherspoon’s A student.

Micha Cavaseno: This was a blessing like the reprieve of death. Only Kanye would decide to turn in a tedious sex verse as a reward for Drakk’s deteriorating skills and Big Sean’s Common-esque ability of deliberately avoiding rhyming ON BEAT or in a rhythmic pattern for once in his life. Couldn’t he have just signed Malik Yusef? Shit…

Jonathan Bogart: Whatever economy of favors has gotten Big Sean this far on the coattails of more talented, famous, and charismatic rappers, it sounds like it’s about to fall apart; both Drake and Kanye sound like they’re literally phoning their verses in, and the beat has to switch up to accommodate them, not any other way round.

Brad Shoup: Those last two jokes in his first verse really span What You Might Get From Big Sean. Just think, if he’d allowed himself steadier footing he could’ve ended on the deposits line! This is beyond grim — though Boi-1da and Vinylz (still love it) are doing yo-yo tricks with the drums — but Drake’s hook has a brutal effectiveness, and Kanye is wisely granted the cleanup spot. He actually sounds like he’s calling from the gym, you know? That shit’s rare.

Jonathan Bradley: In one of his more convoluted attempts to be a smart-ass, Tyler, the Creator once told us, “I’m not a rapper … I brag about [my] actions in a rhyming pattern.”
