Music crew, whom he name drops the ish out of on "Switch Up," a new track featuring G.O.O.D. brother Common, from the upcoming second album, Hall Of Fame. Why would you switch it up, Big Sean? We've heard good things about your "Clique"!

Juicy J, along with Big Sean and Young Jeezy, goes cross-country to party in the video for "Show Out."

Juicy J parties with Big Sean and Young Jeezy for his "Show Out" video.

Juicy J can be at a party at a moment's notice. At least that's what he'd have us believe in his latest video, "Show Out," from his forthcoming album, Stay Trippy. All it takes is one call from the No. 6 "Hottest MC In The Game," Big Sean, and BOOM -- they're on a private jet on their way to the nearest rager. (It's also probably worth mentioning that Sean said there were 400 girls at the club, which is even MORE incentive to gas up the private jet.)
