The Fayetteville Observer Covers New J.Cole Video
Thursday, May 27 2010 10:22 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand StanHome is where the heart is. And recently, J.Cole returned to Fayetteville, North Carolina to shoot his new video, “Who Dat”. Local newspaper, The Fayetteville Observer was on hand and gave their take of the shoot. Tons of flicks can be found here.
The concept of the video wasn’t clear, but a charred vehicle, smoking from what appeared to be a staged fire, lay about about 200 feet away near the railroad tracks.
Shot on 35 mm film – unusual for music videos, which are now almost exclusively filmed digitally – the video was a “one-shot,” Cole said, which meant everything had to be perfect.
“I was nervous with it being a one-shot,” Cole said. “We spent hours just in getting ready. Everything had to be right.”





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
