Big Sean Honors His Grandmother In “One Man Can Change The World” Video
Scathing breakup revenge song “IDFWU” may be the marquee track on Big Sean‘s Dark Sky Paradise, but the album actually has a surprising emotional depth, and “One Man Can Change The World” serves as the heart of the LP. Today (June 19), Sean premiered the video for the touching song, featuring Kanye West and John Legend, and unfortunately, in the wake of the heinous race-fueled murders in Charleston, it couldn’t have come at a better time. Sean acknowledged as much on Twitter yesterday (June 18), writing, “I feel it’s needed w/ all the craziness goin on right now.”
Like the song, the black-and-white clip serves as a tribute to Sean’s late grandmother. Watch the visual up top and check out his tweets about it below.
