Big Sean starts out his sophomore LP with a bang. Tracks like "Fire," the Ellie Goulding-sampling "You Don't Know," and "First Chain" find the Detroit rapper on top of his game. Unfortunately, Sean is unable to keep the momentum going on songs like "Mona Lisa" and "MILF," causing the album to lose a lot of steam by the time of its conclusion. Deluxe edition bonus track "Guap," however, remains one of Big Sean's best songs to date, and restores some of the shine that was lost mid-album. Overall, it may not be remembered as a great LP, but "Hall Of Fame" has some gems that prove Big Sean's worth.
