Big Sean's G.O.O.D. Music album Hall Of Fame has been out long enough at this point for us all to properly digest it. The album has generally been received as a step up from his debut effort, Finally Famous, with a selection of beats that reflect who Sean is as a rapper.
The rapper who is vying for a spot among the best emcees in the game shows us what he has lyrics-wise and production-wise with his latest effort-- is it enough to give him that spot? We'll let you be the judge, for now we're looking through where Sean's sampled beats on Hall Of Fame originated. There are a wide range of tastes found on Hall Of Fame-- from Pharrell Williams to Dennis Lambert & Brian Potter.
