Big Sean spoke to "The Breakfast Club" earlier this week, and here are some of the key points of the discussion:
On working with Eminem: “There’s gonna be a Big Sean-Eminem song. I don’t know if it’s gonna be on my album, it might be for something that we got planned later on… He’s a true OG. I don’t know if there’s any misconceptions about Eminem, but that dude’s real polite, real nice... He said, ‘I haven’t been this impressed in so long with somebody’s album. Even though I knew you could rap, you really gonna do something big with this.’ That was just an honor. Coming from the D, that was the person that showed us that it was real.”
On Kanye West and "Yeezus": “As far as the album goes, it ain’t my favorite Kanye West album, but I do think it’s fresh. I think it’s an awesome album... He’s involved with Hall of Fame, but Kanye isn’t always right all the time. I take his advice with consideration. One of the lessons I learned was to always follow my heart. I always loved ‘Switch Up,’ I always loved ‘Beware,’ and ‘Guap’ was one of the songs that he thought, ‘Yo, come with this!’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know about coming with this first.’ … I love that song, but I feel like that song should have come at a certain time.”
On his girlfriend Naya Rivera: He noticed that she started following him on Twitter. “I sent her a DM,” said Sean, who asked her on a date. “She treat me like a king,” he said. “She treat me with the utmost respect. She go out of her way for me and I appreciate that.”
On buying his mom a new house: “That was one of my life-long goals, so to do that at 25, it was just cool to see the look on her face. I bought her the car she wanted [a red Cadillac], I bought her the house she wanted.”

Unfortunately, Eminem and Shady Records still remain hush-hush about the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2010's "Recovery." At this point, fans can probably expect a fall/winter 2013 release date. But in the meantime...
