Video: J. Cole -- "Sideline Story"

From Life + Times:

“A fitting punctuation to his gold debut album, J. Cole delivers the video for “Sideline Story” the latest visual from his critically-acclaimed album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, which spawned the platinum hit “Workout.” Directed by Axel Laramee and Adam Roy, the clip documents Cole’s international 2011 tour, capturing the song’s straightforward production and lyrics, representing the journey Cole has taken with the release of his first album and setting the stage for his follow up. As his newest single, “Nobody’s Perfect,” featuring Missy Elliott, currently climbs the charts, Cole is touring the US and continuing to record and document his story.”

I'm loving this clip. The best video is a relatively simple and real one, and that's exactly what Laramee and Roy have captured.

Yessir!! Sleeper with the assist.

My favorite new emcee is back. Of course it's another love track, but I can't complain it's still fresh. After listening to Drake's album in full, I gotta go with J. Cole as the best new artist. Not hating on Drake, but too much singing on his album for my taste.

The next big thing (after Drake) goes in over the "C.R.E.A.M." and "Blow the Whistle" beats with New York's legendary DJ. No writtens here.

If there's anyone I don't mind giving an overdose of, it's J. Cole. I can't tell you how refreshing his shit is at this point in the hip hop game. There's only a select few emcees who I get excited about hearing any random song from and the rest of them are legends...Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Outkast...J. Cole. This one is brand new.

I have to say that out of all the new up/and/coming rappers out there right now, J. Cole is by far my favorite. This freestyle takes me back to my days of 1998 when I used to listen to Friday Night Flavors every friday just to catch the freestyles by Eminem (pre Dre), Chino XL and others. A bunch of quotables in here.. like ridiculous lines.

Two New Hova Songs

So far I'm feeling the "Star is Born" song, mainly for the concept. Neither of these songs are very impressive to me. I have to say that Kanye is now getting a bit irritating to me on a lot of tracks. Do we really need to hear Kanye West and Jay-Z rap about how they have haters? I mean... come on. Y'all both sold over ten million albums and you're worried about your haters? I'm 100% sure if this song is on the album, I'll be skipping it every time.
