While speaking with Big Sean for a VIBE.com feature, the G.O.O.D. music rookie revealed that ‘Ye was actually the one that suggested he hook up with Drizzy for their standout collaboration “Made”. Also, Ye was originally going to add a verse to the record, but let the two young’ns get their shine on.
Listen: Big Sean feat. Drake “Made”
Me, Drizzy and Kanye were actually in the studio for that one. [Kanye] was one who suggested that we do the record in the first place and was originally going to jump on that track. But he thought it would be better for us to just do it on some “Leaders of the New School” shit. He added a few things to the record, but WrightTrax produced it 100 percent. – Big Sean”

Cool joint, but is it me or is Big Sean sounding extra Drizzy on this song? I could barely tell them apart.

Nope.
Big Sean is doing his best Kanye impersonation on this one…and Drizzy has made a career off of doing the same. Thats why u cant tell em apart.

Drake admitted to copying HIS style from Big Sean (read below). So if anything, Drake has sold millions of records sounding “extra Big Sean”.

In a recent interview with All Hip Hop Drizzy speaks on the stop punchlines which he credits Big Sean for first using it. The ironic thing about the topic is that I was just speaking on this and it was said that Sean has inspiring certain artists including Drake and Ye himself.
All Hip Hop: How much do Young Money artists bounce off each other? I noticed you have similar inflections and cadences or rhyme patterns. I noticed this one thing that Nicki said, “It’s going down. Basement.”
Drake: Well, that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. [Laughs] I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, “I shut ‘em down. Onyx.” I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there. To be honest, that flow, you can trace it back to like…I trace it back to Big Sean (artist on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music). That’s the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I’ll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don’t want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on “Forever.” Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They’re all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don’t want to offend somebody…I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] “It’s a parade! MACY’S!”
