J. Cole’s “Who Dat” video. Great song, great video. In his 106 and Park interview he says he’s one song away from finishing the album and there’s currently no featured artists—most great debut albums seem to have few or no features, so that’s good news. Not sure if it’s actually one long cut (he almost looks like he’s on a green screen toward the end), but that’s what the director was going for. I thought this was pretty cool and not that common, but I looked it up and it’s pretty common.
The video was directed by BBGUN, who also did J. Cole’s “Simba” video, which is also one long cut and seems like a warm up (pun intended) to the “Who Dat” video. Looking through other BBGUN videos, there’s one J. Cole video I hadn’t seen before featuring his intro to The Warm Up—which I’ve always loved even though it’s just him talking over a piano.
