Watch: Big Sean—”10 2 10″

—

Big Sean goes all out in his latest music video “10 2 10.” Directed by Mike Carson and Mike Waxx, the visuals take an original and artistic approach to one of Big Sean’s more daring works. The beauty that one would expect from surroundings such as those in the video, which look like an isolated coast in Brazil, are transformed into something menacing with the transposing of lush green into magenta hues. The theme is further reinforced with ominous storm clouds that loom overhead at dusk. It all lends credence to Big Sean’s growing fears of failure that he expresses in the chorus as “nightmares of losing everything boost my adrenaline.” These dark thoughts are offset, however, by comical lines such as “I woke up working like I’m Mexican” and more common Big Sean metaphors such as “My homeboy still gon’ pull up on them rims big as a Ferris wheel/ So many rides up on the curb my lil cuz thought the fair was here.” Despite its highlights, “10 2 10” seems like a rather short and unfulfilling song to invest so much money into. Not sure if that translates into the album as a whole, but you can be judge of that. “10 2 10” is from Big Sean’s latest album Hall Of Fame which is out now. Check out the video below.

Big Sean fans will be happy to hear that he’s released new visuals for “Beware” featuring Jhene Aiko and Lil Wayne. This song—unlike “Control (HOF)” featuring Kendrick Lamar which spread like wildfire across the internet—will be on Big Sean’s forthcoming album Hall of Fame

So, apparently, you won’t find this track on Big Sean’s forthcoming album Hall of Fame, which is scheduled to be released on August 27, 2013. According to reports, it wasn’t given sample clearance and was thus cut from the album. Either that or Big Sean’s verse simply didn’t meet label
