00:00Billboard is here at the 2024 VMAs Red Carpet with Big Sean. How you doing tonight, sir?
00:05I'm feeling amazing, man. How you feel?
00:07I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good.
00:09Who are you most excited to see perform tonight?
00:11Definitely excited to see my big bro Eminem, you know what I'm saying, put on for Detroit and perform.
00:17You know, I'm happy to be a part of that album as well, for sure, for sure.
00:21Slim Shady was the first album I bought from Costco with my birthday money, you know what I'm saying.
00:27And that was way back, so to be on the death of Slim Shady definitely is like a full circle moment.
00:32I already said that before, but it just is. So I'm excited to see him and see what he's going to do.
00:38Absolutely. And you dropped an incredible album of your own recently, Better You Than Me.
00:42Better Me Than You.
00:43Better Me Than You. Thank you very much.
00:47What song from that record were you most excited to have fans hear?
00:51Man, I was really excited for fans to hear the evolution of me in a sense of songs like Apologize, Black Void, Boundaries.
01:02But also songs like Yes that's just turned up and songs like It Is What It Is with me and Gunna.
01:08And what else? I like the whole project equally to me.
01:15Absolutely. And I got to say, you were looking so snazzy tonight, so sharp.
01:20What is on the Get Ready With Big Sean playlist?
01:23Man, well, I was definitely listening to Frankie Beverly and Maze, you know, R.I.P. to Frankie Beverly.
01:30One of the greatest to ever do it. And we've been losing a lot of legends lately.
01:35So I was definitely listening to Frankie Beverly and Maze.
01:40That's kind of all I was playing today, you know, and it's just crazy how people are here today and gone tomorrow.
01:48Not just them, but James Earl Jones, Rich Homie, so on and so forth.
01:53So it's crazy. You got to really appreciate what we got, the gift of life.
01:58Everyone's after so much success and all, but really, we already got it just by being here, by living in this experience, bro.
02:05Absolutely. Thank you for those words, man. I hope you have a great night tonight and you can turn up and, you know, celebrate.
