Getting on Kanye tracks is cool, dropping a really popular mixtape is cool, but if Big Sean really wants to emerge as a star in his own right he's going to need a hit. And if you need a hit, you obviously have no other choice but to throw on a shiny suit and get Chris Brown to sing a hip-pop joint. (Side note: That's not your only choice.) On that note, allow me to present "My Last".
On its surface there's nothing particularly bad about "My Last", but to be frank there's nothing particularly good about it either. Breezy is exactly what you'd expect, the beat's exactly what you'd expect, and Sean dumbs down his flow significantly to gain that mainstream appeal. (The mainstream is apparently all idiots.) Other than a pretty hilarious Sean John/"Sean's john" reference, I don't hear much of the emcee everyone's been so excited about here.
Let's be real. We know what it is with this song. But for what it's worth, it's pretty dope.

Even with my expectations lowered because it's hip-pop, this just sounds generic (especially the piano). I like Big Sean, and his charisma really carries the song, but I've heard this quite a few times and I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.

i am not a fan of this song, maybe it shall grow on me later on as more listens to come, but the auto tune pop-ish new sound, I am not digging. I just I got couple more listens to go, poor ears if it still sounds the same, they are going to be so mad at me...
lol

Woulda been better if it wasn't Chris Brown. That just MAKES it sound like a forced radio song. Then again, its not easy to be successful without any help. John Legend coulda murked this track though..
