Top 10 Best Big Sean Songs

From mixtape underdog to chart-slaying headliner, Big Sean didn't just sneak into hip hop's front row. He broke the door off its hinges and walked in with a backpack full of punchlines. Before the G.O.O.D. Music deal, before "I Don't F**k with You" became every breakup anthem's final boss, he was grinding through the Detroit circuit, handing off demos outside radio stations. Fast forward past the failed auditions and freestyle videos, and you get an artist who turned quick wit and verbal gymnastics into platinum plaques.

Sean's catalog swings from soul-searching reflections to chest-thumping flexes, often in the same track. He's worked with everyone from Chris Brown to Eminem, hopping between heartbreak, hustle, and hometown pride like it's light work. No two songs hit the same. One minute he's dropping existential bars, the next he's giving you a hook that'll live rent-free in your brain for months.

Your votes fuel this list. If there's a track you've had on loop since high school, now's the time to make sure it gets its flowers.

The Top Ten

Memories, Pt. II

This is the most dramatic and best song I have ever heard by almost any artist.
I am deeply in love with this song.

It is a really deep song.
Adding John was a really good choice, pulling at your heartstrings.

Amazing song.
It brings me back to my senior year!
I Don't F**k with You

Great song! Not too many artists keep it real anymore. Really though, the message I get is to keep it 100%. Be yourself. Be you. Who cares about what others think? It's what you think, feel, and value most in your life that's most important. Also, if you want something, go get it! If you know your worth, then go get your worth! Forget everyone else. The world is yours!
Stay away from drugs and fake people. Stay with the righteous, the ones that love you. Family is also and always will be #1. You receive what you give in life (aka the secret to life). Love and be loved. Hate and receive the same in return. #Truth

Really. Not the best song by him. He wrote this song, yet he also wrote my favorite song by him... One Man Can Change the World. But the same person also wrote this? I'm not sure if I'm even listening to the same person.
Guap

Best Big Sean song hands down!
Just listening to it makes me want to listen to this song even more. Big Sean made his very own masterpiece. DOPE!

Really unique beat.
This song makes you want to go out and get some guap.
My Last

Great song. Very good artist, and he is still very young.
Hope there is more.

In my opinion, Big Sean's best.
I listen to this every day.
Beware

This song is so dope. Repeat for days.

Best song from Big Sean. Should be number one.
24K of Gold

Stays in your head.
I think it's a really deep song. He shares his dreams with us that came true.
Marvin & Chardonnay

If it wasn't for this song, I wouldn't even know Big Sean.
Even though Dance (A$$) came out first, this song is what made him famous. Should be top 3! Vote it up, guys.
Control

Best flow I have ever heard from the self-proclaimed Sean Don.
It also features a tight verse that caused an incredible amount of controversy from Kendrick. Sean delivers in this song better than any other, perhaps besides Burn with Meek Mill. Big Sean for life!

How is this not further up?!
Big Sean's verse is so damn tight, and Kendrick explodes his lines! Brilliant spit from all three rappers.

Best ever by Big Sean. Kendrick killed this too.
Nothing is Stopping You

"Tell me what you know about dreams. What you know about having faith in something you can't see. Tell me how much you believe. What you know about feeling something that you can't even touch. What you know about smelling something that you can't even breathe. But when the world drives you out and your gas tank is on 'E,' and all the faith that you have just ain't all the faith you need. All the faith that I have just ain't all the faith that I need. I'm sorry."

This is Sean's best song lyrically because it tells the story of how he got famous without leaving out any details in an inspirational way.
1st Quarter

The Newcomers

?
Take Me Away
?
Sacrifices

The Contenders

Mercy

One of the best rap collaborations of all time.
It was also deemed the rap song of 2012. I personally feel that way about it. The song was perfect. Everybody's flow was on point, and there wasn't a glitch to be found. #DawnOfWaves
Bounce Back

On its surface, Bounce Back is a top-notch crowd mover, complete with amazing production by Metro Boomin.
Dig a little deeper, however, and you'll find an inspiring message about coming back from your past mistakes and failures. This song can't be beat!

As a huge Big Sean fan, this is his best work, showing how great of a lyricist he can be, with an amazing flow and an amazing beat.

Amazing song, great beat and lyrics.
Probably my favorite song of his!
Dance (A$$)

Nicki Minaj's tricky verse is too sexy. After all, only a few girls in the MC boast of their ass.
Ashley

Top 10? This should be top 5.
One of his best pieces of work that he's ever put together. It's disgraceful that this is number 25.

Miguel murdered this. One of Miguel's best contributions too.
These two need another one.

This should be at least top 10.
Come on, guys, VOTE!
Don't Tell Me You Love Me

One of his best relationship songs.
One Man Can Change the World

I was shocked that this song was not heard by many people.
This song is an inspiration to me. It is so beautiful. If you listen to this song, it will be worth it.

One of the best rap songs of the post-2010 period!
First of all, the lyrics of this song are very powerful, and the way the beats drop one by one, the piano, the chorus - everything is perfect with this track. You can give it a listen whenever you're feeling low. It's very uplifting. REALLY MOTIVATING!

By far the greatest song by Sean.
It shows a whole different side of him as an artist. Highly recommend giving it a listen.
Blessings

Don't even try arguing that there was a single weak bar in this song.

I know it's new, but it is easily one of his best songs!

Sean, Drake, and Kanye's verses are just amazing.
First Chain

This song was the truth. The lyrical content mixed with a legend (Nas, top 5 dead or alive) would have been better without that scrub on the end.

Deep song that tells somewhat of a story. It should definitely be top ten.

Why is this song so low? Definitely top 5 from him.
I Do It

How is this song not in the top ten?
I love this song and love blasting it in the car.
Higher

Yes, yes. Sean proved himself on this track to have the mind of the greats. He does something clever here...
He teases Mercy. The track was recorded before Mercy but was not released before. That would have pulled it off.

I've legit gone days with this song on repeat.
The lyrics are insane!

Lyrically the best Big Sean song ever.
So Much More

One of his most underrated songs. Smooth-flowing lyrics with spot-on delivery.
Wait for Me

This song just got me rocking.
It features Lupe Fiasco. Y'all should give it a listen.
Don't Like

Kinda surprised Jadakiss was on it.
Everyone was dope (except Chief Keef).
All Me

Big Sean's part is the best part of this song. The beat was crazy!
