J. Cole - Can’t Get Enough
Artist: J. Cole
Featuring: Trey Songz
Producer: Brian Kidd
Album: Cole World: The Sideline Story
Label: Roc Nation/Columbia
North Carolina’s homegrown talent J. Cole might just be the Sidney Crosby of the rap game. Before he laced up his skates for his first NHL game Crosby was dubbed “The Next One,” drawing comparisons to former greats like Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. Even if Crosby were to average an impressive 30 goals per season over 10 years in the league, he would undoubtedly still face criticism for falling short of the colossal expectations that were (unfairly) placed on his shoulders. Similarly, when Cole releases a good but not great record, like debut single Work Out for example, fans are quick to jump all over the Roc Nation phenom. However, when he (officially) releases a song like Can’t Get Enough everyone is immediately reminded of why we compared him to some of the greats in the first place. Produced by Brian Kidd, Enough is based around an extremely dope sample from dance-music orchestra Balla et ses Balladins’ song Paulette and a radio-ready hook from Trey Songz. Sticking with a hockey theme (pun intended), word to J. Cole for an Alexander Ovechkin punchline that many of my fellow Canadians will recycle for months to come. As you probably already know, Cole’s debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story is (finally) set for release on September 27.

If this song doesn't blow up the charts a few label execs might be taking longer than usual vacations this winter. This has hit record written all over it and should have been the first debut single released.

That guitar sample is sick. Reminds me of how 'Show goes On's guitar riff brought it to #9 on the Billboard.
This might be his breakthrough! Push this as a single! |

Although you've heard the story before (ladies love bad boys), you can't front on the skilled execution.
As a whole, it’s certainly a step up after "Work Out", but lyrically, there isn't a giant gap between where I like this and where I stand with "Work Out". In any case, Jermaine tears into his performance here with a tenacity that makes it clear just whose song this is. Packed with the brashness, which in my opinion is the particular flavor of the song where Cole proves himself capable to a level that the few flashes of southern slang he uses don't sound contrived. And his flow remain in control the whole time keeping the listener energized and keeping their attention. And Trey Songz only need few sentences and the right tone (deliberate extra drawl) to get listeners sing-along while being neither annoyed nor annoying. That’s more than most radio songs this catchy can say about themselves: a star feature employed as a tool, not just a crutch. Brian Kidd pulled a slick one with this masterful sample manipulation. Can't say I'm familiar with his past work but this right here is unequivocally refreshing and the product of an astute listener who knows his way around an obscure yet vibrant sample, and constructs his beats with subtlety and artistry. I'm an instant fan and will be searching out his stuff with regularity. It’s definitely a good song, and it maintains its spark even after several listens. Too bad the general public cannot be trusted to make a song of this quality, having a distinct sound, a hit. Still, I'm hopeful. Given a slice of luck and a prevailing wind this could well see J. Cole nudge up a rung on the ladder of public approbation. |

this song is bad. really really bad. j. cole has become a laughing stock in hip hop and it's because he refuses to make the songs that people fell in love with him for. weak on all accounts.

I guess you haven't heard a few of his other songs that are going to be on his CD. He still makes the songs his former fans love and is going to open up his fan base with radio made singles. Face it, artists have to make radio based songs now to get exposure. The days of them playing real hip hop has passed for now. Its a shame that a song such as Lost Ones (a song on his CD that is great), Can I Live, and Hold It Down are never gonna be on the radio cuz they are great songs and not the typical BS rap radio stuff. Considering other artists on the radio right now and the BS they spew, this is golden. I'm glad to see Cole get on the radio at all cuz I've been following him for a long time. It'll be a Cole World on 9/27. Support real hip hop!!! Buy his CD!! Don't Download it!!!! |

Much better than Work Out. Has potential to hit the radio hard especially with Trey being on the hook.

If I ignore other aspects of this song, knowing that Trey Songz is a heavily credited mainstream act, being aware that the song is directed towards a larger audience, then I would consider this song to be a near classic. This is what we want right here, an artist like J. Cole that can role with the punches and put together a quality single with a great musical value to it.

J. Cole is amazing. This collabo reminded me of something Kanye did back in the day...Except it was better. I loved Trey Songz on the Hook. This song should've been the first single off his album and I hope it has major chart sucess!!

I dont know J. Coles production beats are always too slow we need a beat that gets you hyped like Wiz khalifa did with Black & Yellow, if not J. cole career may take a while to blow up. Decent song but not mainstream blow up!
