Big-Sean-Spring-Break

Big Sean's Work Week

Earlier this week, Big Sean played principal for the day at a local Detroit high school to encourage students to stay in school, a destination he previously dismissed on record. Though, <em>XXL</em> applauds Sean's effort to encourage education, it certainly ignited a laugh when we envisioned how things would’ve gone down if the ass-obsessed rapper oversaw an entire high school. It made us ponder: What would happen if Sean took on other odd jobs for a day? Here’s <em>XXL</em>’s version of Big Sean's workweek. He <em>do</em> it!
