What the **** was J. Cole thinking with that video for "Power Trip"?

:what: This negro actually has a decent single (which is rare :whew:) and this is the best he can do for a music video? :scusthov:

:wtf: Wack ass "Work Out" and "Can't Get Enough" get solid videos and maybe his best single thus far gets this ridiculous treatment :snoop:

It's just a lyrics video which always comes before actual video. Still I do agree he pretty much wasted this track. It's going nowhere on Billboard last I checked. Seems like he didn't push it hard enough, or the label dunno

Yeah it's crazy that this song isn't catching on, on the charts. I seemed like a legit hit. Dropped on Valentine's Day, after Miguel's Grammy hype and everything. I'm surprised that Workout would chart and this wouldn't. I guess the song needs a bigger push.

It take time for it to work the radio stations. I heard it in Austin recently and was :krs:

This took time to catch on but once summer hits, everybody was jamming it

It's only been a month since it's been out & it already jumped from #80 to #70 on Billboard in a week it'll do fine... most songs (unless you're an A-List Artist... which Cole is NOT) take anywhere between 2-3 months to really pick up steam...

Only artists like Jay(-Z, not Cole :mjpls:...), Beyonce, Pink, Usher, Lady GaGa, etc... can release a song & have it chart immediately due to high demand & Digital Sales...

The song should go Top 40...
