The most tattoo-able lines on Big Sean's Detroit 2


Mr Sean Anderson is my favourite rapper. Love him. Love this new album. His energy is so correct and aligned, you know he meditates and talks to God.

The Apple Music bio contains this statement from Big Sean: “If I don’t have a line in a song that doesn’t make anybody want to get it tattooed on them, then I didn’t do a good job”.

Well, he did a solid job on #Detroit2. Over an hour of wisdom being shared brilliantly, so here are the most tattoo-able lines from Detroit2 (and Instagram captions and tweet gold.)
