Big Sean performed an impressive and moving homecoming concert at DTE Music Theatre on August 31st. The performance was in celebration of his new album Hall of Fame, which was released within the same week of his show. The night was indeed a family affair as the Detroiter rapped alongside of his beaming Dad early in the concert, and later brought his mother on stage for a poignant slow dance in which the sensitive Big Sean showed he wasn’t afraid to shed a few tears in front of the 12,000+ crowd. Even though Big Sean invited a bevy of guests on stage to perform with him including hip hop greats,…
