Big Sean's a skinny dude, so I've often wondered why he decided to put "Big" in his name.  Thankfully radio personality Ness Nitty put the rumors to rest and asked Big Sean to tell us what he's really working with.  He also talked about Nicki Minaj's involvement on the "Dance (A$$)" remix and watched as a professional dancer got busy to his latest hit.
