Did J. Cole's Dark 'Power Trip' Video Shock You?'

[NelsonG]

J. Cole headed back to his hometown Fayetteville, North Carolina to shoot his new "Power Trip" video, and we wonder if his friends were disturbed by the dark plot line when he originally explained it to them? On the Born Sinner single, which features Miguel, Cole obsesses over a girl, but he takes it way beyond basic obsession in the self-directed video where he ends up resorting to murder, over jealousy.

On the track Cole references his 2009 single "Dreams," where he imagines himself murdering the boyfriend of his crush, and here was his chance to finally put that on a screen. For the most part fans seemed to be pleasantly surprised by the twisted plot, and, as @Queen_Re, put it, " Miguel still looks cute in the power trip video, even if he was dead lol." Word! See some more reactions below.
