A couple of days ago, J.Cole added platinum producer to his resume. But just because a song is a hit, doesn’t mean it’s actually good. Many would agree, this was The Sideline’s Story’s weakest moment. The Downy soft chorus combined with Paula Abdul’s ’80s staple was just too much to bear. Radio loved it. We didn’t. RIAA wins again.

We had a whole lot of superstars on this stage here tonight. But this is… Papoose's house? We're all still reeling that the 20th anniversary of Hip-Hop's Super Bowl featured the Nacirema Dream as a headliner. Damn you Kendrick Lamar and your generous ways. Yeah it's hip-hop to bum rush the show but c'mon Pap you know you didn't deserve that look. And you gave even less fucks by performing a new song. C'mon fam. You've paid a lot of dues through the years but this was the big dawg time in the program. Don't disrespect the game in your pursuit for fame. Oh well, Brooklyn took it.
Speaking of BK, Fab had a master plan of bringing Lil Kim and Foxy Brown back together again. But when it was time to make history, Fox Boogie was nowhere to be found. Where was you at? Wack.

songs a fuckin jam, wtf
u realize this was a bonus single
I never hated this record as much as everyone else seemed to. After the album came out it was clear Can’t Get Enough, In The Morning and Nobody’s Perfect were the club singles and therefore should have been the records to run with single wise. Of course Work Out didn’t catch until Can’t Get Enough was deep in rotation funny enough.
I give RR props for this. This single was formed out of a hit record that had been released not to long ago by a hitmaker and J Cole uses the same concepts and everything.
Wtf?! Cole knew exactly what to do to make a hit single. I think this song was extremely catchy and clever, major radio play. Cole world!
Love Rap Radar but yall niggas is buggin, this wasnt even a whack song let alone one of the wackest of the year. It was smooth and as a single did what it was suppose to do. Cmon son you just TRYING to piss pple off one, you tellin me that only one slot separates this song from Gucci Gucci? Nah
GoodOne……..
-_-
really??? i dont see whats so bad about this song ??
is this how u guys tryna show u aint biased?
Fucking bullshit! They song went ahead to grow up on people and you can’t deny that. That’s why it had the success. Now talking about hits that don’t make sense, what do you have to say about Ross’s “BMF”. The fuck is that song about? Lies lies and lies yet again! So stfu like you guys get to post whatever you feel like. Hate on the COLE, it aint gon make him or break him, he made it! Its the ROC bitches(rap radar)
i agree lol this song sucks
nahhh i fuck wit work out foh
Truth hurts. Good album, terrible song.
“we didn’t it”
im glad this was a bonus because it would’ve disrupted the flow of the album. I thought the song was alright but not up to cole lyrical abilities. Thats why “Cant Get Enough” was a better choice. Nonetheless this single was good for the radio,went platinum and brought him a wider audience. “play the game to change the game” .
You fukks have this on the worst list but have can’t get enough and lotus flower bomb on the best list
Whoa. This was unexpected. I still fucks with it. And its still Platinum. So, I dont really care much.
This list should be renamed the Worst HIT Singles of 2011… I cringed when I heard J. Cole do his rendition of Paula Abdul, but the song eventually grew on me and the chick in the video made it hotter.
Way beyond wack. Radio crammed this in folks heads until they “liked” it.
Agreed, this song was horrible. A contrived attempt to gain mainstream appeal, which J Cole eventually accomplished with this single.
wow suprised RR didnt dick slurp this garbage up….props
…..I dont think there were only 3 songs worse than this though. I could name a dozen songs worse than this in 2011. Most of ‘em were on yall “Best Of..” list. Spend It for example.
the Cole slander is epic today…
I thought it was dope.. took bout 4 or 5 months for it to catch fire on radio.. it seems like all his teeny bopper fans came frm this single
Are you kidding?? there is nothing wrong with this single, just that it is good
but he sold a million, u need more people to believe it was the 4th worse !
To put J. Cole in the same list as Kreyshawn is disrespectful. Pop Radar is the worst site of 2011.
@Citylivin I one thousand % agree
but they going to learn today -___-
damn thats fucked up. work out is nice. then you can bang it at a bbq or party.
RR cant have a list without SOME type of controversy. These things are meant to draw traffic from users. This like last year when they gave TI worst single and album and everybody was bugging. Its understandable. I consider it a business move. RR fucks with Cole HEAVY. This is just a curve ball to keep ppl interested in the list cuz honestly, the lists have been weak this year.
When I see Ellliot, B.Dot, and Big Homie in the street I’m beating the fuck out of them.
First time I’ve heard it. Last time I’ll hear it.
B.Dot YOU FUCKING SUCK WITH YOUR HATE ON COLE….. #COLEWORLD ALL DAY
^^^ lol. please do. they soft anyway.
Off the back of Fnl this was a disappointing first single but Cole had to get the mainstream and radio on his side to push the album so i can see where the logic in this came from.For me Bme single with Bruno Mars has to be No1 or Wayne’s how to love Now thats some Formulaic crap that does HipHop a disservice.
How is this one of the WORST songs you could come up with RR?? This song wasn’t even technically on the album and it’s catchy as hell.
B.Dot YOU F*CKING S*CK FOR HATING ON WORK OUT #PLATWORLD #COLEWORLD ALL DAY
Thank you. I got turned onto cole late with “who dat”, but when this drivel came out it was hard to tell people to check for this new artist.
It still went platnium !
Somethin smells fishy. J. Cole on the worst single list and MMG on the best album list. Ross is that you?
It was wack,borin and gay
so your saying gucci gucci was better than work out? fuck outta here
I think the songs a banger, always knew it was going to be a hit. Plus lets be honest people were talking about how bad of an idea this was a single, a platinum single lately and gold album later its a Cole World.
u sound stupid. how is this not a good song?u niggas is cornballs any way tho
i love this song nice one bby j <3
This song is dope! RapRadar, yall are dropping the ball this year on A LOT of shit…stop doing this if you can’t get it right….OMG!
rr keepin it real… this shit is wack
-____-
Cole fansss maddd but this shit is horrible. Cant get enough was dope as fuck tho
