When Eminem, Big Sean and the rest of his Motor City crew dropped "Detroit Vs. Everybody" to promote their Shady XV compilation this fall, it sparked some regional pride and even engendered a response from the East. But fans were not necessarily expecting an official music video, especially after Em's viral cypher.
Collaborator Big Sean recently spoke with Hip Hop DX about his forthcoming project, and hinted that (1) Shady might be on his new album and (2) there is a video coming for "Everybody."
"It's possible," Sean said of the Em collab. "This ['Detroit Vs. Everybody'] was the first collab. I want people to really — we shooting a video for it, too, by the way. Coming up."
Sean's big hit this fall was "I Don't F--k with You," a tune he says was not aimed at anyone in particular.
"First of all, I wanna state that when we came out with the song I was in — who people think the song is about, I vividly remember playing it for that person," Big Sean said. "So, the point is though it wasn't no diss song. Obviously, it just fit the situation. It feels good. It's an anthem. And you know, I did go back and change a couple lines probably. I tweaked it."
The video revolves around some sort of semi-pro football game in which Sean is the star player and Kanye West is the head coach.
"I just wanted to come up with a concept that was fun," Sean said. "You know what I mean? Something different. I didn't want to stand in front of no Rolls-Royce on some regular s--t. We just had fun with the concept."
And, of course, Sean discussed his new, untitled project.
"I mean, it's kinda just a time capsule of my whole life in the last year," he said. "So, you can just imagine all the things that I've been through ... It's all gon' make sense when I drop the album. When I drop the title and all that stuff."
