on september 27, 2012, big sean announced his second studio album with the title "hall of fame: memoirs of a detroit player", and then has announced a release date for december 2012. sean explains why he chose this to be the title, stating that "it's because it'll represent who he is". he then said that he feels "like situations are really going to be relatable to people." he then stated that he "didn't want to just do another club song", and he didn't even wanted to follow these popular music standards. "this is just what the fuck i want to do. some people are going to like it. some people are going to hate it; regardless, i'm just doing me." sean then said that "hall of fame" will be a far more inspirational and a more conceptually-driven project than his debut album. he even went on by saying the fact that he wants to teach, while making his lasting impact on peoples' lives with this second album. during an interview with power 105, sean stated that he would include some skits on the album to give it a "classic feel". he even indicated that the song "mula" featuring french montana (which also this track was included on the mixtape "detroit"), could be featuring as the track for his deluxe edition.
