J. Cole - Sideline Story
Artist: J. Cole
Producer: J. Cole
Album: Cole World: The Sideline Story
Label: Roc Nation/Columbia
After turning a lot of heads with the release of his debut album, Cole World : The Sideline Story last September, North Carolina representer, J.Cole brings us the video for the album’s quasi-title track, Sideline Story. On Story, Cole rhymes over a self-produced, smooth sounding beat which weaves together Ron Gilmore’s work on the piano and David Linaburg’s work on the guitar. On the mic, the Roc Nation star shows off his stellar lyricism and provides an anthem for all of us who have gotten splinters from sitting on the bench so long. Cole’s unprecedented style on the mic is evident throughout the song, with lines like “I put my heart and soul in this game, I’m feelin’ drained/ Unappreciated, unalleviated/ Want my whole name spelled out, my old pain spilled out,” and paired with deeply narrative visuals this is a must watch flick from the Grammy-nominated emcee. Cole World: The Sideline Story is available for purchase now in stores or via iTunes.

Not surprised that this song was selected for a video. You can tell this is the type of record that J enjoys making the most. Sound comfortable, real.

This was a pretty cool track by J. Cole. Nice feel to it and everything is composed well. A solid joint.

I feel the song, deeply. However I feel that artists are getting away too easy with their videos. Unfortunately.
