Big Sean’s love for Eminem and Lil Wayne gets a workout in the latest UPROXX Sound Check. Hosted by Jeremy Hecht, the rapid-fire show forces Sean to choose between iconic tracks from his musical heroes—and it’s a Detroit showdown for the ages. Here’s how it went.
Tough Choices, Big Influences
Sean Don faced off classics from Common, E-40, and Michael Jackson, but the real heat hit when he had to pick between Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” and Lil Wayne’s “A Milli.” “It’s crazy the impact they both have had on me,” he said, torn. “8 Mile inspired me crazy, but so did ‘A Milli’—when he dropped that, it was unbelievable. They’re both GOATs.” Both tracks shaped his path, and both legends have personally bigged him up.
Wayne’s Shine, Em’s Legacy
Sean got reflective about Weezy’s shoutout on “Deep”: “I feel like Sean don’t get enough shine / Is it because he ain’t got the tattoos?” “He was rapping like I was one of his artists,” Sean marveled. “Bruh, you ain’t have to.” Eminem’s Lose Yourself, tied to 8 Mile, hit just as hard—pure Detroit fuel for a kid with big dreams. Watch below to see which titan he crowned!
