Oh, God.

26 Sep Oh, God.

Let’s forget for a second that I ever mentioned A$AP Rocky and his Addy braids on this site. I’m not going to lie, he did pique my interest, but never in the way that this particular Detroit player did.

So when my friend texted me during my job’s day of bonding at the Hamptons asking if I wanted to attend Big Sean’s “secret” concert later that night, I didn’t hesitate to text Arianna who is always down for midweek adventures. Fast-forward a couple of hours later, several more drinks and one shared pizza, we’re standing outside of Terminal 5 trying to figure out which list we’re on.

Wearing: J.Crew Factory Sweatshirt, H&M Pleated Faux Leather Skirt, J.Crew Metallic Oxfords, Old Navy Camo Jacket, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran Tote, Bauble Gold Link Chain and J.Crew Multicolor Gem Necklace.

The people at the door never did determine which list we were on, but we make our way into General Admission just in time for my old theme song.

This is for all my old hoes that see me gettin’ guap right now…

Would yall believe me if I told you that most of January was spent listening only to Sean’s “Guap” and Fred Hammond’s “No Weapon” exclusively and interchangeably? I’m almost positive that there is something to that.

Anyway, sort-of like that way I had a crush on Chanel Iman’s boo’s mind, I have a crush on Big Sean and the way he thinks. He recognizes that power of visualizing your goals. “I’m a dreamer first and foremost–I lived in my mom’s house, writing all these goals down, from the house I wanted to buy to all the things I have accomplished so far,” he told Interview magazine’s Alex Chapman.

Oh, yeah? You too?

“I just want to teach people the methods that I thought of, and maybe it can apply to them and they can be inspired to contribute to what they got going on,” the rapper continued. “I believe in the concept of planning your goals out and writing them down, to a further extent by calling my album Hall of Fame and putting that out into the Universe.”

The minute I got into the concert and heard that song, I didn’t care about anything else. I guess it was another one of those signs I seem to notice around me. Sometimes, when I feel overwhelmed, I like to watch this series that Big Sean has on YouTube. He details the his journey in video diaries mixed in with ratchetness. I’m here for it. You should watch Fear and Imagination when you have a moment.

He’s pretty inspiring.

I give it up to God and he always replies. Word, Big Sean.

Word.
