The Rundown: Big Sean, Dark Sky Paradise

A track-by-track look at the G.O.O.D. Music rapper's latest.

The Rundown: Big Sean, Dark Sky Paradise - If anything has been pushing anticipation for Big Sean's fourth LP, Dark Sky Paradise, it's his hit single "I Don't F**k With You," which has been getting massive radio and video spins since last year. Now the wait is finally over and the Detroit-raised G.O.O.D. Music star is, once again, back with rhymes that go from the hedonistic to the thought-provoking. Check out this song-by-song look at Big Sean's return.   (Photo: Def Jam Recordings)
'Dark Sky (Skyscrapers)' - Instead of bursting out the gate on his latest, Big Sean floats outwardly on a surrealistic swag vibe. Bragging on his rise from the streets to the skyscrapers, the rapper spits, "Yeah your music is bumping and you waiting to break out/ And I been waiting all god d**n year, all year. But near ain't here."  (Photo: Brendon Thorne/Getty Images)
'Blessings,' Featuring Drake - Teaming with Drake, Sean digs into metaphors of spirituality to discuss his hard road to the top. "I treat the beat like it's a reverend," he explains. "I tell the truth like, 'Father forgive me these are all my confessions' / This was a look that was destined."  (Photo: Frederick M.

"I don't give a f**k. I don't give f**k," West declares. "Cops chokin' n****s out in the media. We finna protest to tear this city up."  (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
