Big Sean’s Defiant Anthem: “Yes“
Big Sean has returned with a sonic sledgehammer in the form of “Yes,” a track that pulsates with the rapper’s signature style.
Released on July 19th, the song is a two-pronged assault on the senses, divided into distinct sections that showcase the multifaceted nature of the Detroit MC.
In the first half, Sean positions himself as the antithesis of the obsequious “yes man,” painting a vivid portrait of his rise from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of hip-hop success. His lyrics are a masterclass in self-assuredness, a bold declaration of dominance in a world often filled with imitation.
The second half is a stark departure, shifting to a more confrontational stance. Sean addresses his critics with a ferocity that is both intimidating and exhilarating. The repeated affirmation of “yes” becomes a battle cry,a defiant assertion of his unwavering belief in himself.
While the song has ignited a firestorm of opinions, with some listeners praising its production and Sean’s lyrical prowess and others finding the hook somewhat repetitive, there’s no denying its impact. This song is a bold statement from an artist at the height of his powers, a track that demands to be heard and debated.
Quotable Lyrics:
I would rather give y’all my soul, I don’t have to sell it
Might take a piss off your rap mouth, Rushmore after I scale it
Blue strips when I do, we f*ckin’ it up like Elvis
No broke talk, gold talk, money talkin’ to me like I don’t need no
