Last night G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean brought his 2015 tour to The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. Performing a number of tracks off his latest Dark Sky Paradise album (check out our review here) as well as a catalog of his best hits and verses, Big Sean instantly got the crowd hyped as he opened to his extended version of his ‘Paradise’ record.

“Was up in Florida, no Marlins, n*gga. I’m that Shawn, no Marlon, n*gga.”

And with an energetic opening performance from ‘Backflip’ rapper Casey Veggies, who will see the release of his debut album later this year, and a surprise performance by Chicago’s King Louie (and even an appearance by 1/2 of the production duo, Da Internz), Milwaukee fans definitely got their money’s worth last night.

Check out our photos below, as we sent our photographer Dan Garcia to capture some of the night’s best moments.

Did you meet Big Sean recently? Do you attend Indiana University? Well if you answered yes to both of these questions, you may be disappointed to learn that you probably did not meet the real Mr. Supa Dupa, G.O.O.D. Music‘s Big Sean.

Perhaps out of envy, or more likely to hilariously troll unsuspecting fans, a Big Sean doppelganger threw on a pair of shades and a Louis Vuitton belt, put on a Detroit Tigers hat, got a replica Big Sean lion chain, and walked around campus with his fake entourage. From the photos that surfaced online, this guy fool a lot of people! Sorry @kjforee, Big Sean does love Chipotle, but you didn’t see him there.

Check out photos from unsuspecting fans with “Fake Big Sean” below.

Full House

Have Lamborghini Mercy! With the official announcement that Netflix has ordered a 13-episode revival/spinoff of the classic ’90s sitcom “Full House”, now titled “Fuller House”, we got to thinking… what if rappers were Full House character? Who would be who? If Kanye West took a Facebook “Which Full House Character Are You?”, who would he get?

Want us to do the thinking for you? You got it, dude! We have reflected and decided which rappers best fit which classic Full House characters. Hit the jump for our complete list.

When comparing rappers Big Sean and LL Cool J, we now know two things. First, Big Sean’s ‘Paradise’ track (one of the best tracks on his newest Dark Sky Paradise album) is substantially better than LL Cool J’s track of the same name. Hell, LL’s hook goes “Paradise is very nice.” But now we also know that Big Sean is much better at pictionary than LL, as the two competed against each other on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

While Big Sean teamed up with Jimmy Fallon and drew a pretty solid tree house, LL Cool J gave a hilariously pathetic attempt at a tattoo drawing for his partner, actress Rose Byrne. Watch the two rappers compete below!

During his surprise show at KOKO in London, Kanye West brought out Vic Mensa to perform a brand new unreleased track, potentially titled ‘U Mad’. The new track, as suggested by Vic’s manager, may also feature Kanye West and Big Sean, and is produced by Chicago’s Stefan Ponce (‘3005’, ‘Down On My Luck’), Smoko Ono & D. Phelps. It may just be that Sean and Kanye joined Vic for the performance and are not actually featured on the song. Vic originally debuted the track, when he performed it solo at The Metro in Chicago, and since then it appears as Ye and Sean may have hopped on too. Check out a few videos below of Mensa and Kanye performing the unreleased track, just hours ago in London.

Taking a look back at some of her finest moments, we have rounded up a list of our ten favorite features from Jhene.
