by @NickHuffBarili · July 25

To celebrate 15 years of Hard Knock TV, we are uploading the full versions of some of our favorite interviews over the years. 9 years ago, Hard Knock Tv’s Nick Huff Barili and Mark Anthony Jenkins sat down with #BigSean leading up to the release of his debut album #FinallyFamous . In the interview Big Sean talks about Detroit, his mom and shares the story of how he got Kanye’s attention but then struggled to survive for a couple years before he got signed. Everyone in his hometown thought he was already signed so he couldn’t just go get a 9-5 at the mall and was having trouble just getting enough money to eat. Sean goes on to talk about how his relationship with #Kanye has evolved and how Kanye put him on the spot to rap in a cypher with Pharrell, The Teriyaki Boyz, Nigo, etc during Bathing Ape photo shot in Japan. Sean shares favorite movies including Star Wars, Back to the Future, Step Brothers, Friday, The Wood and say he would be star struck if he meet Will Ferrell. Tune in for much more!
