Hollywood Cole made his first appearance on 106 & Park this afternoon and premiered his new video, “Who Dat”. Afterward, he gave a brief interview and said that he’s one song away from completing his album, which, should be out sometime in October.
[…] J. Cole just went through 106 & Park and released the video to his single ‘Who Dat’. Expect the album in October. Directed by BBGUN. Props to RR. […]
creative video, it’s not cliche (half naked chicks, liquor,club) at all. I’m pulling for dude, hopefully the 106 and Park generation embrace him and respect what he is tryna do. He said the release date is October, i guess the single isn’t doing what the label wants. smh
I haven’t enjoyed a rap video in a long time, as much I liked this. Good job, Jermaine.
i feel sorry for this kid got so much potential but jay doesnt see it instead he shout outs drakes name in concert and tells e? to pick up the album i think cole perfromed with jay z once. damn all of the roc nation artists are goin down the toliet cause guess whos the next artist to comw out with an album on dat label? dats right JAY Z SMH
Damn this is jus like the simba vid. What’s goin on at roc nation? Too much talent for this mediocre vid
[…] Shouts to RR […]
BITCH I GOT THE FLAME!
COLE WORLD!
this track has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many nigga words in it to be a single……….. nevermind all his tracks like that, btw this video was weird….. cough the block is hot cough shhhhh. the fire man comin. you could spark it up but I’ma put you ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuut cole world.
Nice vid..
reminds me alot of Xzibit – What U See Is What U Get video, not really impressed. Plus its very similar to his Simba video.
Shoutout to J.Cole for no features on his debut album!!
[…] RR […]
@Dex,
Jay-Z let Cole shine on A Star is Born, Who Dat is getting radio plays and Jay’s artist always have to promote themselves{{Kanye West}}
Jay doesn’t shout out J Cole? So i guess being on the biggest rap album last year, and then going on the biggest tour isn’t a shout out. smh Sometimes i think yall forget that nobody gave Jay-z anything, dude had to earn his own.
Plus i don’t think Jay want’s to do what he did to Bleek, he doesn’t want to overshadow him. I think the Kanye West approach is the best approach, let him earn his stripes and let the A and R’s do their job. It’s not like legit record label owners do artist promotion like rap label execs do
[…] Props to RR […]
LOL @ people who talk about what Jay-Z is doing but don’t even listen to the music he makes where he says pretty much everything clearly
from Coming of Age (to bleek) “You let yo shit bubble quietly, and then you blow” – which is exactly what J. Cole is doing. Bleek never bubbled. Bleek was just there right next to HOV the whole time. His situation is very different. J. Cole doesn’t need Jay-Z. He’s lucky to have him though.
Jay-Z can’t make anyone great, he can give people the opportunity “the stepping stone” like J cole said.
[…] Props- RR […]
@ITHINKYOURLAME
2 many words? LOL pick up a book dumbass. Dope vid Keep on doin it Cole
DOPE SIMPLE VIDEO, HE STAYS TRUE TO HIS COMMUNITY. HIS ALBUM IS GOING TO BE LYRICAL DEFF. GONNA PICK UP HIS ALBUM. TIRED OF ALBUMS FULL OF NOTHING……TO ALL THE PEOPLE TO ARE IN COLLEGE THIS SHOULD BE YOU ARTIST TO SUPPORT. YOU SHOULD BE QUOTING J.COLE LYRICS NOT LAFFY TAFFY LYRICS.
also Nas said “my first album had no famous guest appearances, the outcome I’m crowned the best lyricist”
Watched this on 106 a few min ago.. Suprised to hear he has no features.. That’s such a good look in a day and age where people use features as crutches.. I’m pullin for this lil nigga
Cole is the future!!!!
That nigga is tall As fuck
Loving loving the fact that he has no features, too many people rely on features, the main chick for a hook – or hot rapper out now for a horrible 16…
I also love the fact that Jay-Z isnt shouting him out every two min – I think that is agreed upon between them – cause if he was – cats would be saying “oh he shining because of Hov”
Do your thing J Cole – best believe imma buy a solid copy at the store when it drops.
Just watched the video — I took it as a more evolved version of the simba video — how many cats have seen that video besides those fans that scream cole on the net but aint gunna buy it when it drops ? (just like the slaughterhouse album) – I thought this joint was ill – creative, especially with the flames and the band — really enjoyed this shit – and like someone said before, been awhile since I enjoyed a hip hop video – alot of the stuff on the tv now just makes u stare like “huh?”
Thats my favorite new guy in the game by far. All of his mixtapes are the truth & I love the way he is so humble & stays true. I wish him all the best because he deserves it. I’m definitely buying a copy of that album when it drops.
@Mrric lol same thing I said
Dope video.
“Cole up next, see what he do with it”
J.Cole aint gonna move NOTHING. But his album is gonna be one of the dopest this year, amongst the new school rappers and even among everybody else. Top 10 album of the year hands down.
And no features? NONE at all? Well, we’ll see. At least 2 or 3, but I think none may be pushing it…imma buy it regardless so who cares anyway right?
Buying two copies. First NC nigga to REEEEAALLY be on THAT level lyrically? Makes me so proud for my home that im copin one that will never get opened. Real talk. If you don’t feel me or your a hater, i dont even hear you so no need to spread your hate.
If theres no features then Im defineteley buying the album its kind of strange to see a rookie take the nas approach but w/e its COLE WORLD and on everything im buying a portable cd player and coles album when it drops
jcole-kendrick lamar-tyriff(new dude from bk,next big thing)
better quality
Great Video, man I hope his album drops before October.
I saw J. Cole perform last year on the BP3 Tour and he did a good job. Folks just stay bugging because they want dumbed down rap.
Definitely “meat & potatoes” rap.
Definitely my favorite guy out right now period. Been that way since last year. I hope he doesn’t have any features. He’ll murder their asses anyway. Lol. Didn’t watch tha video yet cause I’m on my phone, but ima check it out in a min. Its good Jay isn’t givin him the Drake treatment. That’s gonna make him push even harder to kill the game. I’m rootin’ the most for him. I was hopin the album would drop in August, but fuck it, perfection takes time…
can someone explain to me what the deal is here… I don’t know much about dude, but I saw the comments about his ‘simba’ video an i just watched it… It’s the same ass video… Is there like a theme here, or am I missing something?
Simba & Who Dat were directed by the same guy now get over it the video was a Simba P. 2.
^ ^ simba video had the same concept..youtube it or sum u will see wat they talkin abt
[…] RR […]
J cole is cold! I hope his album does well!
Hellaaaa dope
nice video, didnt get boring but it is alot like the simba video… i mean its the same director but still.
I THINK EVERYONE ON RR SHOULD COP J.COLES ALBUM CUZ I KNO I DEFINATELY GETTIN IT EITHER FROM ITUNES OR THE STORE. Support REAL hip-hop
I’m glad he didn’t go the cliche route and he repped his hometown of Fayetteville but imo this is not a great video.. It’s not that creative and it doesn’t stand out from the rest.
Dope video!!!
It reminds me of the Xzibit video from back in the day tho. Still refreshing, I’m REALLY rooting for this kid to win.
That video sucked…for real. I expected an at least above average visual. That wasn’t even mediocre. Jay coulda put a little more resources into this. The creative spirit is there but there’s a disconnect.
They need to just shut down RocNation and let these guys do their own things. J. Cole gonna be the most hyped artist not going to make it. All because of mismanagement.
NO VIDEO HOES, NO EUROPEAN CARS, NO CHAMPAGNE, NO BLING, NO 20 INCH RIMS, NO GUCCI/LOUIS VITTON, NO THROWIN’ MONEY AT THE CAMERA, NO CLUB SCENES, NO CLICKS, NO GANG SIGNS, AND NO GREEN SCREEN!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
J.Cole is the 2nd coming of Nasty Nasir Jones. Bet on it.
Yo now this is next Jay! This kid has got it and his rise is gradual so that usually means staying power. Black |Rob needs to get up on this remix or Jack this beat as it’s perfect to make a statement with!
Track is hot with that Atomic dog sample!
that car blowing up was EPIC!
those cars blowing up were EPIC!
the video sucked??? fuck is wrong with you TV watchin’ ass bums…this nigga just did a video plainly for his town, understand the meaning behind this shit. You see he first got the kids running behind him, next he had the hood feelin’ the music, with the “who dat” being taken literal here – people hear the newest shit and always say, “who?” [mike jones coined it btw..lol] – then he had the colleges (seen as the college band), and then he finally blew up! (cars exploding and what not), then he’s leavin’ fayetteville, heading for the big leagues….easily, 1 of my top 3 videos of this year, and 2 of em’ just dropped this week..2010 summer in HIP-HOP (not Rap) = looking wonderful so far…
#1. Erkyah Badu – Window Seat video
#2. David Banner & 9th Wonder – Slow Down video
#3. J.Cole – Who Dat video
^top 3 so far, with a real statement in the music, combining with a great visual…

This video is dope I remember they said a while back they were gonna use 35mm film and do a one take video so everything had to be perfect, jcole is talented he’s above what every other guy is doing out there, why does he need promotion from jayz, look at drake he had so much backing from ,kanye, wayne, jay, that people put his album on a pedestal and expected gold right away, j Cole deff sees wat they doing to drake so he doesnt want that, he wants to keep it humble and enjoy making his own music that he enjoys, he said in an interview “hey if I do blow maybe it’s just not my time, but atleast I’m here, and got the opportunity”. The dude keeps it simple and artistic,
On a side note expect a collabo J.cole ft. Drake soon
Ya’ll peep Andre 3000 from Outkast saying “Now who else wanna fucck wit hollywood cole?” at 2:25. Song is alright video is kool, he still needs a bigger hit than this to make those sales tho. Side note Andre turned Drake down for a feature but shouts out J. Cole on his single, interesting.
3rd verse was at drake
cole world niggga
[…] Look Rap Radar var a2a_config = a2a_config || {}; a2a_config.linkname="New J. Cole “Who Dat”"; […]
damn, he towers over rocsi and terrance, video is dope though!!
Feeling it!My boy looking at a promising career, now that dam hooks gonna be stuck in my head all day.But on a constructive criticism note he might just want to limit his hand gestures a little overall dope video! The label need to get that money up so my man can move units, get on your job!
@Stevie J- thats not Andre 3000 endorsing Cole its a Sample off SpottieOttieDopaliscious off of the Aquemini album,it’s a classic you need to put this in your collection.
[…] Rap Radar :: New Video: J.Cole “Who Dat” […]
Drake is aware of j. cole’s subtle disses, thats why he posts all of J. Coles interviews and new music on his blog because he knows that Cole will never be in his position.
this nigga is repping the shit out the ville gotta love that just came from up there a couple of weeks ago nice place
make sure to buy the single on iTunes! you know it’s hot, let’s get him to #1!
http://bit.ly/bapanW
who ever said it wa slike the simba video was right its like a suppped up version of simba he need to work with better producers and cant be chasing the camera all the time
I fucks with Cole I just think Lights Please could’ve been the lead song off his album it’s so different easy video to make and it’s a fucking HIT!!!! But on top of all that he produced it. I like the video I thought it was like the other video but it wasn’t if that make any sense. All i got to say is don’t let me down dog the last person i picked as a winner that lost was canibus and you happen to like that nigga lmao
