J. Cole ft. Miguel - Power Trip |MUSIC VIDEO|

[45123]

You got the because you said it wasn't meant to be a top 25 hit when that's exactly what the aim is. I have no idea how you could come to such a conclusion when even Jay told him he had one. As far as videos going into how people feel a song, obviously the video won't change the song if I'm in the car. I'm describing the visual effect on the song while viewing it. It does not embody the ambiance of the record. Power Trip is a soulful song, but it's a little more upbeat than that video. The first time I saw the video I thought they slowed down the song to fit the video.

But as far as the relevance of a video, with a great video, a song's presence can become even more impactful. I.E. Beyonce "Single Ladies." But a lot of people watch videos on youtube, just because you don't you can make such claims. There is a reason that there are advertisements on videos and why Billboard is going to start implementing video hits into it's Hot 100 analysis.

It's really not meant to be a top 25 hit, it's not overly poppy or simplistic like Work Out. It's deep and the chorus isn't overwhelming nor is the beat. It's calm and cool, a top 50/top 40 hit.

I understand that the video does sway your view of the song, but I don't disagree with you. I disagree with the people who act like the video is gonna destroy the song's chances of becoming a bigger hit.

And, like I said, unless the video makes the song (ex; Gangstam Style & Single Ladies) where there's a dance accompanied with it, it's just the artist's way of getting a visual out for the song while simultaneously promoting it. Billboard is implementing video hits because it is a formidable statistic, like I said the only reason people click on videos is cuz its official and its the first thing to pop up on the search, without some sort of pitch change/sloppy quality. It doesn't really have anything to do with the video, just how relevant it is on the internet.

J Cole made a video referencing a mixtape song from 4 years ago?

And some how someway, nikkas are on here claiming that it's the same as Kendrick's Poetic Justice's video when he's referring to and tying shyt together from tracks and skits off of the SAME album

He does say "I even made the song Dreams for you" in the song itself

It would be like someone like Lupe making a video with characters from an unreleased song

Lupe Fiasco- Real Recognize Real - YouTube
Superstar (featuring Matthew Santos) (video) - YouTube

The Cool (the album) was based around those characters

You sound like my little brother who's a huge fukking J. Cole stan

Naw bro, he said "had a thing for you, even wrote the song dreams for you" it matches the song and video...

The song relates back to dreams fully AND its a song that sounds good and makes sense lyrically. If he never made the song dreams the song would still be raw

The shyt Cole stans say

 

[Rohiggidy]

Dunce

some of you lames claimed that work out was a dud

 

[Larry]

I don't mind it. My first post I said that I'm a big Cole fan.

How am I looking pathetic at all? I broke down why I was disappointed with the video and exactly what I felt should have been done differently.

Only reason I have so many posts in here is because of people acting like you have to be hating to criticize this. How exactly am I going out?

Honestly bro, what have I posted in this thread that is so outrageous? I even prefaced the one long analysis that I made about the video with, "Yes this is long nikkas"

Was it hard to read? I don't think it was. It was adding to the discussion. But I guess I should post random stupid shyt like this for you right?

show a crime in a music video

Dunce

some of you lames claimed that work out was a dud

 

[Larry]

its the continuous "shyt cole stans say" comments you keep making when you've posted bout the muhfukka 60 plus times in a 2 day period


you obviously love this dude so cut the bullshyt

And some how someway, nikkas are on here claiming that it's the same as Kendrick's Poetic Justice's video when he's referring to and tying shyt together from tracks and skits off of the SAME album

J Cole on some ole' JK Rowlins shyt, like when she claimed Dumbledore was actually gay (AFTER all the books were out).

This dude...ok let me settle down...I fukks with Cole, he made Friday Night Lights how could anyone hate on that classic mixtape. But dude is taking an L here, as I said earlier. That song is a big record and should be treated as such. So why the fukk is he making a dark, poorly lit video with Miguel in it for literally 10 seconds, barely any women, and two dudes driving around in a car.

This nikka still stressing over determining who the real and fake fans are? nikka you got a dope record, capitalize on that shyt. Make a big ass video. But nooo, he gotta do this.

"the continuous shyt cole stans say comments"...

I said that once in this entire thread.

Fan =/= Stan

You're getting mad because I'm having an actual discussion on a video that was purposely made to garner discussion?

Breh, I don't even get it. Apparently a hot track won't benefit from having an equally appealing video to these smart dumb nikkas
