  2. So the first video really was a failure. This one isn’t anything to write home about either.

    I really hope for Cole’s sake that his album is as good as I’m expecting it to be, because between this horrible song and “Can’t Get Enough” my hopes are lowering every day.

  3. so much could have been done with this video. I really had way more hopes. even with a low budget you could have made a story line or something. oh well. Cole World. Sept 27th.

  4. PLEASE make this a bonus or leave it off the album. it can still get radio spins as a promotional type thing. would give the album a more classic feel

  15. honestly…I do not really like this song at all.
    J. Cole is so much better than this

    jibb said this on August 15th, 2011 at 11:21 am

  16. The song is still awful and is Rocnation giving this dude any kind of budget? I’m starting to think he is like the unwanted stepchild in the Rocnation family. This dude gets no promotion at all from them and obviously no budget. This video looks like something a random mixtape rapper would shoot. I stopped taking Cole serious about a year ago when I realized he nothing more than a good underground rapper signed to a major label. Rocnation obviously agrees which is why they do nothing to promote this dude, they are just waiting to drop his album so they can then proceed to drop him. Book it!

  17. 1) he got the worst stage presence ever
    2) his fans say the gayest shit, worse then wiz k or odd future fans
    3) who the fuck is still listenin to friday night lights

  21. This video isn’t anything special but I’m starting to like the song a bit more, it’s at least average and a lot better than a lot of these niggas vids.

    @T0rrent911

    Loads of chicks on my Facebook post Cole’s stuff, just last night one girl wrote “9.27.11″ ♥ I had no clue what she meant but then I figuered it out today when some other girl posted this vid and wrote the same date, so yeah, people outside of blogs listen to Cole. You think he got 700k+ blogfollowers on Twitter?

  25. It’s amazing how these dudes want to hop on a post & talk about how much they don’t like a song they already knew they didn’t like… I call that hating. And this is a Cole post so why would you not to expect to see Cole stans, think about it. I mean I don’t hop on Juicy J posts & talk about how much I do not like his songs. I mean seriously… find a hobby haha

  30. * Remembers the wiz hate*
    lol you underground niggas is alway trynna bump some Slaughter House type shit in the club. You hat on these new niggas, but they keep doing better than all the #’s you niggas throw out there. Wiz just made 11.5 million this year, making more money than Ross, Drake, Nicki and 50 Cent. He was shitted on but his doing better than all these other niggas. Nigass thought Big Sean couldn’t sell, he exceded those doubters. Now he got singles out the ass. Same thing is happening with Cole. lol at you niggas when he does 200k 1st week and all you gon say it aint sell well rofl

    Yeah!! said this on August 15th, 2011 at 12:41 pm

  31. Awkwardest nigga ever. Look at his movements in the video, like he never saw talked to a pretty bitch in his life. This nigga cant even chart billboard. Give it up Coal. Drake taking already took over the summer, finna take over fall, and fuck your bitch in winter.

    Take Care

  33. “She like them boys with the big old chains/
    Rides around town in the big old Range/
    I knew her when I rocked big ole jeans/
    Now the little nigga doing big old thangs”

    this is probably one the worst voice delivery of rhymes I ever heard in my life, now with the visuals it’s even more annoying. I don’t even want to go gospel on his Paula Abdul chorus, total embarrassment. I honestly don’t understand what A. Hole and his team were thinking when they dropped this BS song. I dared them and double dared them to drop a video and they arrogantly fulfilled my demands. this video does NOTHING for his promotion for the album. he should of taken the L on this and just used it on his failed series “Any (UNFOR)Given Sunday”. this nigga never looks relax in his videos. he’s always looking awkward with them tarantula legs eyebrows. it’s like they have a life of its own. what is up with these niggaz on here talkin’ bout rocnation “promotion”. they’ve been promoting this nigga for the last four years. this nigga just can’t deliver a radio friendly hit. these niggaz will gamble again on that trey songz feature, but that will also fail due to it also being a mediocre below average song. the bottom dollar is, brace yourself for an overrated garbage album from your created messiah of hip hop music.

  35. ^^^ “Tarantula legs eyebrows”. LMAO
    Cole needs to get this shit together man, I think he is scared to put out his hip hop roots because the radios won’t except him or because the singing and rapping thing is ruling the industry right now. But he and electronica got to wake up cause the shit they are dropping or in electronicas the lack there of is not cutting it.

    idk how u expect anyone to read that rant above me, ppl have lives to lead. i think the vid was pretty good, wat i expected. the link didnt work for me either i just searched it on google. i think this, cant get enough, and bad girls club (wale’s single feat. cole) should help him expand his fanbase, could b a good end of the summer for cole

    thatrealshit said this on August 15th, 2011 at 2:04 pm

  39. ou can still be lyrical, and make a feel good summer song, you dont have to just talk about bitches, you can talk about life and make it a feel good joint. This video’s cheap, it looks cheap. I’m a HUGE cole stan and its clear, this video is wack. The songs ok, its not a bad song. This is a song if you’re out at the beach, or on a boat, that you play with some bitches while u get ur dick sucked on the end of the boat or drink some beer with some friends. This really has no other place. NOBODY wants to just sit and chill to this. If you do, you’re a soft ass homo kind of type.

    Here’s 3 songs that have a feel good chill type of sound and have a story, or dope lyrics, or something of quality to them:

    1. Blu – Sunshine.
    2. Nick Reid – Growin’ UP
    3. Co$$ – Pot A$h

  42. @3stacks3 – None of those songs will ever do well on a mainstream level and Blu is one of my top 5 rappers, but facts are facts.

    I’m not one for slander or what have you but this video really sucks. He lacks presence and majority of the scenes could’ve either been shot better or don’t even fit the part in the song. Would’ve been a lot better if it was focused more around him hollering at a girl in a party rather than seeing her while on the basketball court and him rapping his lyrics to her instead of talking them to her.

    Even though he wants that mainstream success and a certain type of image, how uncomfortable he is in the video just shows that this isn’t him. It’s not hard to have/show confidence in your natural environment. Should’ve put out some Lauryn Hill type shit like That Thing or something more suited to the artist we embraced him as. That said I’m interested in seeing how the Can’t Get Enough video turns out.

  43. I agree dont really hear much about cole outside of the internet. its amuses me when people use twitter as some kind of validation for popularity. Everybody follows everybody on twitter. most people even follow people they hate just to keep their lives interesting. Ciara got like 20 million followers and she sold 27k first week. Everything trends on twitter, every celebrity got hundreds of thousands of followers… its not an accomplishment. stop it b

  44. Great video, captured the song nicely.I don’t know where you guys get off saying this won’t get play on the radio. Wtf do you live? I hear this all the time. Especially at block parties and house parties. This is not a wack song, no matter how much you niggas wanna hate. I’ll admit, Disgusting was kinda wack, but this is not. He did this right.

    Airborne said this on August 15th, 2011 at 3:24 pm

  45. I think the video is cool much better than the leaked version. I’ve grown to like the song too but Like a Star> Work Out. It’s has a summer time feel it can appeal to the mainstream without compromising his skill and doesn’t sound forced. Wished that would’ve been his single really. But thankfully Can’t Get Enough is really dope and that’s the next single.

  49. What the hell is going on over there at Rocnation? Jay is always on the road so im not really sure how much involvement he has with Cole and Electronica but however business goes over there , I think they could be doing alot better with marketing and promoting these two artist. Does Drake have to come out first before ya’ll get on your grind? Cmonson.

  55. Cool video. About a 3.6/5. Could have been better, but I’m sure it’ll move some things. If this doesn’t work, he still has “Bad Girls Club”. If BGC doesn’t work (and I doubt it won’t) he still has Can’t Get Enough. Cole has options and one of those options is the winning key.

  57. lyrically this is probably one of the top 5 worst j. cole songs ive heard, coming from a huge fan who has pretty much everything he ever released. The beat is fine, but damnn those are some weak, WEAK lyrics! Come on!

  60. I am a cole fan and yes i admit this isnt a lyrical type song and the video wasnt all that. But at the same time this song is just a chill ass song to vibe to. Nobody wanna listen to no damn lyrical ass shit at parties..thinking and shit GTFOH with that. Cole is winning, after this vid hes gonna release his second single ‘CANT GET ENOUGH” then his 3rd single “lost ones”. after that its a wrap. This nigga is gonna do big numbers mark my word. Also if you hate j.cole why comment on his shit ? ok you dont like the video but when a nigga makes a comment on anothers man eyebrows that shit raises alot of questions. I swear some of yall in the C section are gay on the low SMH. Sept 27th ! Cole World !
