J. Cole - Work Out Video


Damn, I'm just noticing this, but J. Cole is about 3 hairs away from having a uni-brow. Fuck all that though, who is that main video chick? Gotdamn she's fine! Of course she had a banging body, but the first thing that caught me was her face. Lawdamercy!

Anyway, this was a nice little video. Sadly, it won't help the song be any hottest, thus it won't help Cole out not one iota. What he needs is a super incredible record that will set him apart from the pack, like when Kanye dropped Slow Jamz. People don't remember this because it was so long ago, but Kanye didn't have a huge head of steam heading into College Dropout after Through The Wire came out. Not to say it wasn't a dope track (and definitely not to say it's on the same average level as Work Out), but it didn't move the dial. But when Slow Jamz dropped, it was a wrap. All Falls Down and Jesus Walks were incredible records too, but Slow Jamz dropping and shooting straight to #1 was a major factor and Kanye being as successful as he is today. Think about it, Slow Jamz was so huge it not only helped Kanye become a mainstream artist, but also Twista and Jamie Foxx, and all 3 got their first platinum albums in large part because of it.

Bottom line, J. Cole needs to find his Slow Jamz (and Work Out ain't it) or he's not going to make it to the next level.
