Big Sean Compares His Career Sacrifices To Kanye West: “He’s 100 Percent Focused”

G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean is fully dedicating himself. The hip-hop star has updated fans on his state of mind as he pieces together a much-needed I Decided. follow-up album.

In a new interview, Sean Don compared his revamped focus on creating his next studio release to longtime mentor Kanye West’s intense focus.

“I’ve just been taking a little more time off for myself and recording, getting my album right. I felt like that was more important (than touring). I’ve been around a lot of great people when they make their albums — for example, Kanye (West), he’s not doing anything else while he’s making his album. He’s 100 percent focused. So I can’t tour and do all that and expect to get out the type of product I want to have out because I’m not giving 100 percent of my energy to it. … I’m not 100 percent ready. I haven’t been dropping anything, really. I’m just working on it. It’s a process, really. When I’m ready, I’m gonna be ready — I mean, I’m gonna be ready, you know what I’m saying?” (Billboard)

Recently, B.I. shared a shot of himself rubbing elbows with Pharrell Williams and Pusha T.

Hours before turning 3-0, Sean shared a public message about what he learned in his 20’s.

“I’m turning 30 and I don’t regret anything I’ve ever been through in my life. But if there is something I feel I could have done better and better moving forward – and this is for the people that need to hear it – it’s taking better care of myself, dog. Taking better care of my mental because I get caught up in trying to be that boss and take care of everyone around me. Take care of my family. Take care of my crew. Everybody. I put myself last but I realize if I would have treated myself, if I would have taken a little bit better care of myself, I would have been more efficient with what I was doing and brought my best self to the table. … I got problems internalizing a lot – one of my homies shot himself in the head last week and did some other horrific things I don’t want to talk about but nobody knew what he was going through.”
