Big Sean Praises Eminem's Dedication, Compares Him to Goku

In a chat with Zach Sang, Big Sean dished out some serious respect for Detroit’s own Eminem. He drew a comparison between Em and Goku from Dragon Ball Z, emphasizing their shared dedication to their crafts. Sean recalled learning the true meaning of dedication from Eminem, noting that the rap superstar spends every possible moment in the studio. This commitment is as fierce as Goku’s love for fighting.

Sean shared a story from their early collaboration days. They were munching on Jet’s Pizza while watching South Park in the studio. As the session wrapped up, Sean hesitated to ask for Eminem’s autograph, thinking it might seem uncool. To his surprise, Eminem pulled out Sean’s CDs and asked him to sign them. Sean took this as a lesson — never be too cool to show your fandom. Eminem’s legendary work ethic has been a topic of discussion among many. Akon once shared that Em treats his studio time like a regular 9-5 job, arriving at 9 a. m. and leaving by 5 p. m. Big Sean released his latest album, Better Me Than You, in August after a hiatus since 2020.
