Big Sean is prepping his sophomore album, Hall Of Fame: Memoirs Of A Detroit Player. While he didn't want to spill the beans on all of the project's features, he did reveal to The Masked Gorilla that Kanye West, Nas and Jhené Aiko would be on it. He also had something to say to his detractors.
"If you can't respect a young person who came from nothing, and supporting his mom. And is one of the biggest inspirations to my city now, Detroit in a time where they need it most. They're going through a lot of economic tough times in general. As much inspiration as they can get I'm offering that. If you can't get with that you're just a hating a$$ b*tch."
The album will be dropping later this year and the new single will be released within the next couple of weeks.

It's amazing to think that 16 years after Tupac Shakur'sdeath a movie about his life hasn't been brought to the big screen.
It appeared that a Morgan Creek Productions backed biopic would be the first scripted flick about the charismatic rapper who has reached legendary status. But a two-year legal battle between the company and Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, delayed the project.
In February 2011 the two parties reached an agreement which seemed to clear the path for things to get underway.
Director Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day") was picked to helm the movie, but Fuqua backed out because of trouble finding a suitable actor to play Tupac.
In October 2011 John Singleton reportedly agreed to direct the movie, however a month later he backed out for the same reasons as his predecessor Antoine Fuqua.
Since then there has been very little news about the Morgan Creek project. Now it looks like an indie director out of Houston might be attempting to beat Morgan Creek to the punch.
Noah Mortel has released a trailer for a Tupac movie. At the end of the clip it says the movie is coming out in 2013.
There's virtually no other information online about Noah's project other that the youtube trailer. His IMDB page doesn't even have it listed as being in production.
So we have to ask ourselves is this real or fake?
Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.

Bow Wow seems to be having a little bit of financial trouble the days. Earlier this week the rapper was ordered to cough up $3,000 a month in child support to his baby mama Joie Chavis for their 1-year old daughter, Shai.
In court Bow Wow told the judge he was making only $4,000 a month as an employee of Cash Money Records and only had $1,500 in the bank according to TMZ. The rapper also said he was leasing a jeep.
Luckily for Bow Wow, he was just named as one of the hosts of 106 & Park which should help ease the financial pressure, but he still has to deal with a creditor who has been chasing him for three years.
According to TMZ, Bow Wow leased a 2005 Ferrari F430 back in 2008, but quickly fell behind on payments. In 2009 the leasing company sued him and got a judgment for $216,084.
Three years later the leasing company hasn't received a dime. With interest tacked on Bow Wow now owes them $283,785.

Nas is pretty much a living legend in the rap game. In a career that has spanned 20-plus years he has dropped classic gems both as a solo artist as well as collaborations with Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, Damian Marley, AZ, 50 Cent and more.
In a new outtake from his BECOMING interview, Nas speaks on when he realized he wanted to become a performer and his early musical influences.
"I would say since I could remember. Watching a great musical movie like 'Grease,' watching the Jackson 5 cartoon, Kiss the rock band. That looked like where all the action was. I knew that was the life for me, being in front of audiences" Nas said, explaining when he first got the itch to perform. "I knew it... you know you're not sure for real back then, but in my mind I prepared for it."
Nas said his early musical influences were Rick James, The Jackson 5 and James Brown.
"They were like heroes, I thought they were great," he added.
