J. Cole Proves Love Will Make You Go Crazy In New ‘Power Trip’ Video

They say, “Love can make you do some crazy things,” but J. Cole took it to the extreme in his new video for “Power Trip” featuring Miguel.

In the song, J. Cole raps about having the blues over a long lost love who he can’t get over, and she’s got him sprung and his nose wide open. In the video, he’s sitting in a car with one of his boys outside of her house, (basically stalking) while watching her with her new man, played by Miguel. From there, we take a trip with a distraught J. Cole and his homeboy through the streets of their town and down into the woods… and you’ll just have to watch the video to find out what happens next. [If we haven't already spoiled it! ]

My mouth literally hit the floor, but you kind of know what you sign up for as soon as the message, “This video contains imagery that may be disturbing to some viewers. Parental discretion is advised” flashes across the screen in the beginning.

If you are a J. Cole fan, then you know he’s most-known for his storytelling in his lyrics. MTV points out that in the song, he spits the lyric, “I had a thing for you, I even wrote the song ‘Dreams’ for ya,” and on the actual track, “Dreams” from his 2009 mixtape, he raps about a girl he barely knows and begins to dream up a plot to murder her boyfriend. A few lines of the song include, “I’ma follow in my car, I’ma cut in front of his/ Run him right into the wall, maybe even off the bridge/ I give her a little time, then console her while she crying.” It’s interesting to see how he used lyrics from an old track as inspiration for his new video.
