when J. cole started playing the piano and shit i was like.. ohhh shit! he actually made the beat! its an awesome song! i love watching how all the little sounds fall into place!
are you dumb? if you watched the video he was adding other sounds in to, you obviously didnt watch the whole video, when he started playing the piano it was the 1st sign of him making the beat..
And then I snorted a line and slowed it down and added it to the beat Homie: yeah dude the way the 808 and your line meshes together makes it so ambient and perfect
haha Yeah, when I first saw this I thought they barely knew each other because ig the way they were talking to each other. like he never heard the best before or met Cole. but they met online and Elite sent Cole beats. theres a documentary thing somewhere lol. Its pretty interesting.
aight, you think you can give my music a listen tho? I write my own lyrics, make my own beats (unless the title says otherwise), and make my own cover art. I'm 15, you should give my new song "Beautiful Art" a listen. you don't have to tho. its all good. haha
J Cole is the best rapper in my eyes and he's surpassed other rappers lyrically, mentally, and on top of that, he produces his own beats. I swear if I had a chance to meet him and talk to him I could say I am the luckiest man alive. God bless J Cole and I hope he makes that collaboration with Kendrick cuz that'd be dope
For you guys criticizing Elite (the white dude), he produced a lot of classic Cole tracks and it is easy to realize that he knows what he's talking about
I just gotta thank you bro, I swear your music changed my life. Next year, I'll be doing my final year in Med School and I swear apart from the support from my family, friends, and my belief in God, your music played a huge role. Nothing but love, all the way from South Africa.🙌
Producing music and understanding sounds are two totally different concepts. To be able to watch J. Cole effortlessly execute both at the highest level is just Genius. Cole deserved everything you got out of the game.
By far my favorite song by J. Cole, favorite album too. Before hand it was “Nobody’s perfect” but still right behind it, “can’t get enough” This song is still 🔥🔥🔥 after a decade. To kno he produced this beat & watching him put it together as well as his growth is amazing! 🤩 ANYTHING J. COLE & MIGUEL COLLAB ON HAS BEEN 🔥🔥🔥 HITS AFTER HITS!
Tyrone Brown they aint ass kissers tho. Most of them are producers. Like the white dude with a beanie. He co produced Crooked Smile. They just appreciate the amount of work needed to create a banger like this.
Tyrone Brown first of all their not ass kissers their music producers and second you have no right to call them ass kissers when you don’t know what their occupation is and who they are so i would advise you to stop being so disrespectful
I don't know how many times i watch this video ever since i discovered it. Every year i watch i love the song the instrumental everything. It takes me bck where i thought i was it
I thought I was the only one watching this repeatedly but I guess not lol its just amazing how he's so into it and how it all came together. Now I have a greater appreciation for this song and can hear each beat while I'm listening to it
This is why I have so much respect for J. Because he’s a musicians being a guitarist, it’s an art to create music. And his shit is the realist I love it. Hope to meet you someday Cole
At the very end of the video, ive watched this for 7 years and just now realized it wasn't just extra vocals he threw with the beat like "What's going on"
Shoutout to the people that are here after listening to the inevitable audio series. Enjoy... wish that this was my first time watching this... but its not. I frequently revisit this from time to time.. unhealthy amounts LOL
J Cole is the one of the few artists who uses logic. That proves you can make professional music with it. Well, actually the DAW doesn't really matter, it's who and how it's produced, but he is my inspiration because I use logic, and didn't know if you could make professional beats with logic. Anyone know any other producers who use logic?
A lot of people use logic tho lol. Tyler the creator, earl sweatshirt, Erick the architect and more. Actually u should just look up "record roulette", a lot of the (professional producers) used logic
Logic is an industry standard software lmfao Logic is as top of the line as it gets, however while the majority of people still use Pro Tools there all slowly switching to Logic and or ableton
It's not everyday that you find artists that write, and produce their music. Mad respect to Jcole
Kanye
Logic
Tyler the creator
Big K.R.I.T.
Earl sweatshirt
I come back to this video probably once or twice a year and it still brings a smile to my face everytime
Same 😂😂
Same haha!
Same!
i watch this shit like 5 times a day no cap😂😭 everytime i smoke i watch vids of j cole making music, takes me to another dimension
real
Now every time I hear Power Trip I hear every lil part of the beat
Yeah
Lmao fr
Fr bruh!
Makes the song even better
Facts
when J. cole started playing the piano and shit i was like.. ohhh shit! he actually made the beat! its an awesome song! i love watching how all the little sounds fall into place!
hell yea
are you dumb? if you watched the video he was adding other sounds in to, you obviously didnt watch the whole video, when he started playing the piano it was the 1st sign of him making the beat..
You mean mean he used the midi keyboard
He produced the whole album
+Shocksta1234 J. Cole makes all his beats. Shouldn't have taken you seeing him play the piano to know that.
This is how a real artist makes music.
what no?
+Ratt iSpray Real Artist do shit themselves my friend
+Mike Ula so then noone is an artist
Every artist in history has had help making music lol, there's co writers and etc
Nope
the craziest part is when you did the crazy part and then you hit that crazy part then the crazy part was the craziest part yo
crazy
Dude you should put spoiler alert before your comment xD
Bro, u forgot that other crazy part tho.
That’s the craziest part tho 😂😂😂
That's not even the craziest part
idk why but everytime he added another sound too the beat I got hype af and my head just starts bumpin
YOU HEAR ME
Sameeeee evey time I listen
Jermaine is so mad important, he got a beautiful mind, a message and a loud voice. Few artists have that today which is sad, thankful for him.
Miguel took the song to another level
brandon Wadley tru
UmAdXxBrO 95 where can i find it
brandon Wadley when those two get together it’s something amazing
@@UmAdxXbRo wuuuh🤦♂️
brandon Wadley coles verses are way better
That beat at the end
Oh my gawd
Dom a Cole fan???
Aaay Dom a Cole fan AND a Cs fan, favorite youtuber
Where Can i find that beat?
Did it ever drop
Brooklyn on the Way. It’s naughty
J Cole "and then I added my burp to the beat"
Homie "yo the burp is the craziest shit on it, it just makes the beat perfect"
And then I snorted a line and slowed it down and added it to the beat
Homie: yeah dude the way the 808 and your line meshes together makes it so ambient and perfect
😂😂Ya'll wildin
No, that would be timbaland lol
I love Elite but this is true lol
Still don't understand why he has no Grammy
Greg Cammarata fr like tf
Greg Cammarata bc he overrated and trash
he do it for people.
Muñoz Muñoz youre special.
and you have hate in your heart
I could never listen to this song the same again
Suum Johnson haha that’s crazy how much the Background info helps everything
Imagine if we got these for every song! Life would be so amazing!
Facts
I always seem to find my way back to this video... freaking love Cole. INSPIRATION!
JOHNNYBOY TELLEM Mos def after ! What do you think of KOD?
watching in 2020. Makes you appreciate the song even more
Fr after watching this I pay attention to like everything
This is why he is so good, he takes time to make his own beats and thinks about what he's creating, instead of throwing stuff together.
AveCave1 I wish he start filming his process starting in highschool. I can only imagine how much work he put in
Everything's the craziest shit to that guy.
That's J Cole co-producer, Elite. Lol
Ah really? Fair enough. I figured he was the guy interviewing him or something tryna be cool!
haha Yeah, when I first saw this I thought they barely knew each other because ig the way they were talking to each other. like he never heard the best before or met Cole. but they met online and Elite sent Cole beats. theres a documentary thing somewhere lol. Its pretty interesting.
I'll have a look bro.
aight, you think you can give my music a listen tho? I write my own lyrics, make my own beats (unless the title says otherwise), and make my own cover art. I'm 15, you should give my new song "Beautiful Art" a listen. you don't have to tho. its all good. haha
Power Trip is a generational hit, forever timeless
This was/is one of the hardest beats I heard in a long time...Any instrumental you hear that makes you say Goddammit is a hit!
N Black listen to devil in a new dress instrumental by kanye
Brayan Santana I can't Im trying to quit smoking trees 😂
That "craziest part" of the beat when he slowed the percussion sound down is actually pretty dope because it sounds like a low synth
Dj Khoma thanks for your input .....
Dj Khoma I wish I knew how to do that
Dj Khoma I know he's like 40 to Drake!
+Dj Khoma i thought it was a synth too!!!!!!
+kapone815 time stretching most likely
this man will forever be a legend
Tyler Foye all fax
Still right
it's 22 and he still is 🔥
For those who are asking..He's using logic pro 9. And native instruments battery 3.
+Jerel Crockett I WAS JUSt THINKING THIS. Thanks!
Jerel Crockett thank you
Jerel Crockett u the real mvp for telling us this
Underrated comment!!!!
DAMN, I didn't know that that snare actually turned into that sound of the song
CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGA CHUGA
It's craziest shit ever
LakerFan !
@LakerFan man if you could find a way to put this instrumental in as an outro that would be goated!
when they sung "oooooooh" at the same time lmaooo.
I got to this comment and that part at the same time wtf🤣🤣🤣
i would kill for one of these for no role modelz
Good song
I dont think he produced no role modelz i think he mightve co produced...january 28th was produced by him though.
+Gabriel Rolon - Diaz he didnt produce January 28th he co produced that and no role modelz he also co produced
true true
jstuy1
This beat still gives me chills til this day
J Cole is the best rapper in my eyes and he's surpassed other rappers lyrically, mentally, and on top of that, he produces his own beats. I swear if I had a chance to meet him and talk to him I could say I am the luckiest man alive. God bless J Cole and I hope he makes that collaboration with Kendrick cuz that'd be dope
True words homie 🙏🏽

Rip to that project 😔
@@madebybroovy some how it got even worse 😂
I've watched this too many times
lol me too
lol me too
same
+K-SPOT same. still watching it from time to time
Same
J cole actual sounds sick on the hook!!
Cull678 hip he should had made a version where it’s just him
Big times
Its ok I don’t think it’s as good as Miguel’s
@@Astroboy29 Hot take: Miguel is a better singer than J. Cole lol
@Benny Fair fax Lmao I bet the song wouldn't be as popular if Cole was doing it.
J.Cole Was Super Proud.
He should be this is one of his best beats
Cole: "and then I completely deleted the beat and quit making music completely"
His homie: "yo and that's the craziest shit too"
Lil Flame On Deck 😂😂
😭😭😭
😂😂😂
😂😂
Lmao 😂
watched this clip over and over and the dopeness still doesnt fade ,coles a beast on the beats
Exactly. Never gets old
chugga chugga chugga, chugga chugga
LOLOL
it had me too
Damn, boy hahahahahhaahhaahahha that's the same shit that I always thought
Junel Simeon bro that's the craziest shit
@@denvin0119 😂😂😂😂
"juga, juga, juga" 😂
I love this video. Cole so talented 👌🏾
Nobody is going to go around singing juga juga! 😂
For you guys criticizing Elite (the white dude), he produced a lot of classic Cole tracks and it is easy to realize that he knows what he's talking about
Yeah. Elite harnesses the same capabilities as J. In the video though he hasn't heard all of the song so he has to agree with J in a sense.
by kissing his ass.....?
Ees
nickdeez “Elite Elite Elite”
Some people will forever be lost. Every white person isn't considered an elite my G
I just gotta thank you bro, I swear your music changed my life. Next year, I'll be doing my final year in Med School and I swear apart from the support from my family, friends, and my belief in God, your music played a huge role. Nothing but love, all the way from South Africa.🙌
man im so glad i found j cole cause my life wouldnt be the same without his music
It feels so empty but full at the same time!
+Jim Palmer lmao i'm done😹😹😹
makes me appreciate the song even more
I can’t even count how many times I watched this video never gets old
Just seeing the process and what actually went down on how this masterpiece of a song was made just makes you appreciate it so much more.
A decade later this song still hits the same. Truly a timeless jam
you really came here to listen this old crap?? Better listen gomunkul 6 he is trending now🏿
Producing music and understanding sounds are two totally different concepts. To be able to watch J. Cole effortlessly execute both at the highest level is just Genius. Cole deserved everything you got out of the game.
i’m grateful to be able to comeback to this masterpiece of a video
💯
You can see J cole does it for the love of music.
Jaime Paredes without a Doubt! What you think of KOD?
im inlove with Cole's mind! Jesus such talent!
The fact that he makes his own beets makes him that much more talented
true
he makes his own beetroot??
Lmfao. Best reply ever.
Bruh it's beats not beets the food lol, but it happens to people don't feel bad
Yeah I heard he eats them too
Still come back every now and then to listen to the beat he played for Jay
That Beat At The End Needs To Be Turned Into A Song ASAP!
Fax
I still can't believe it's been a WHOLE decade since this came out. I'm a huge J Cole fan, and this is absolutely my favourite track of his ❤
If power trip was on forest hills it would of been the perfect album
It's okay. Because we have Born Sinner.
That's fuking true but still got blessed w born sinner
Still Got Blessed Wit Born Sinner Which Is J.cole ‘s Best Album Ever 🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐
but then we would be unable to say double platinum no features!
@@lilmariosantana7735 i agree 100 too underrated
This is why J Cole will forever be a legend. An artist who truly enjoys what he does and is beyond talented at it #coleworld
By far my favorite song by J. Cole, favorite album too. Before hand it was “Nobody’s perfect” but still right behind it, “can’t get enough” This song is still 🔥🔥🔥 after a decade. To kno he produced this beat & watching him put it together as well as his growth is amazing! 🤩 ANYTHING J. COLE & MIGUEL COLLAB ON HAS BEEN 🔥🔥🔥 HITS AFTER HITS!
I wonder how Cole remains so humble with so many ass kissers in his circle.
Tyrone Brown He said it in Let Nas Down. "Just pray that along the way I don't loose myself"
Tyrone Brown they aint ass kissers tho. Most of them are producers. Like the white dude with a beanie. He co produced Crooked Smile. They just appreciate the amount of work needed to create a banger like this.
Pranav Raja These people don’t know... Elite is a Dreamville legend. Elite Elite Elite Elite!
Tyrone Brown you have no idea who you talking about those are all his bros
Tyrone Brown first of all their not ass kissers their music producers and second you have no right to call them ass kissers when you don’t know what their occupation is and who they are so i would advise you to stop being so disrespectful
So much more respect for cole after seeing this. Honesty had no idea he produced his own beats. Crazy...
He produces a lot of his own stuff. Him and Kendrick are working on an album together (Cole produced Hiiipower)
Jakiya Elrod nigga ong😭 he probably still waiting and shit
@@xavierremi8823 lmfao I had to double take and look at the date, I sing realize that comment was from 6 years ago 😭😭😭
I watch this video at least once every week lol.
same its amazing
+Kaylen Smith once a day lmao
I'm just sitting and waiting for the last few years to hear Jay spit over that beat Cole plays at the end. Shit is hard
who are they talking about when they say jay? I want to find that beat so damn bad cole made that shit so hard!
Kaylen Smith same
This is what I love about music, and I look to a day where I’m in a studio with some of my closest friends just blasting beats, just vibing like this
Power Trip's instrumental is something deep and so inloving for no reason 😫❤️
I don't know how many times i watch this video ever since i discovered it. Every year i watch i love the song the instrumental everything. It takes me bck where i thought i was it
I thought I was the only one watching this repeatedly but I guess not lol its just amazing how he's so into it and how it all came together. Now I have a greater appreciation for this song and can hear each beat while I'm listening to it
I am beyond happy and just in awe that i am alive and able to see videos of this man and be able to see live performances. Living legend no doubt ❤️
J. Cole you are the reason I write n produce my own music. So I thank you for that 🔥🔥 keep dropping bombs man. Everything you touch turns to gold ✊🏾🤞🏽
I watched this video 2 million times and still go back to it from time to time. It's just too good 🔥🔥🔥
Whose here in 2024 man , learning to hear every small part of the beat is what I love most about music
That beat at the end tho
ye lmao
I've seen this shit a thousand times already!
word
Ten years later this still hits
I keep coming back to this video after all of these years just to see the process again and again...
The "spacebar" sound in the song tho..
Gotta love J Cole one of the realest in the game
That beat at the end is meant for Jay Z and Kanye to slay
Yeah seriously man that shit was dope
This comment didn’t age well
208 Productionz lol true
They didn’t use it ☹️
What is that song at the end???? I need to hear that
I love this. I love seeing the other side of music and getting a deeper look at how it was produced.
This is why I have so much respect for J. Because he’s a musicians being a guitarist, it’s an art to create music. And his shit is the realist I love it. Hope to meet you someday Cole
I want to hear this song for the first time again … the feels lol
I was like 8 smh still my favorite song ever
the vibe crazy at the end....oh my daysss
I swear coles rapping in the background to the beat
At the very end of the video, ive watched this for 7 years and just now realized it wasn't just extra vocals he threw with the beat like "What's going on"
gotta come back to this gem every once in a while
Damn how times fly I remember hearing this in my middle school years everyday I walked in the bus the radio was showing this heat love
Songs still 🔥🔥🔥 after a decade & my favorite j.Cole song till this day!!!! 🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐
It’s crazy how talented bro is
To this day one of my fav J.Cole songs. Magical.
God tier beat. Just incredible to see the behind the scenes. Hope we all can make this dream a reality🙌🏾
Here in 2021 to say I’m glad to be one of many that Cole managed to touch and influence for the better.
I come back to this video, any time I need a reminder why I wanna make music. I’m glad I stumbled upon it.
I will always come back to this video . One of my favorites . This beat is legendary
i likethis type a stuff, need more of this type of insight to the behind the scenes
loving watching a hit just come together... just seeing everything fall into place is amazing
'I can't get enough' of J Cole ! Love him
Ana Nicole Palomares have you listened to kILL eDWARD tho 🤔🤔
8 years later and this is the first time I heard the beat at the end
This is the reason why j Cole is in my top three for the artist of the post 2010.
man kickin back and just really watching how its put together. Crazy to see how his mind works.
Is August 9 2015, and I'm still waiting for
Jay-Z To Hop On That Beat at the End.. That beat is Crazzzzzzzyyy
23rd October 2017 - Still waiting.
February 2018 - Still nothing from Jay. Starting to worry. Send help
March 2018....still waiting
April 2018, still waiting
July 22, 2018 still waiting
Shoutout to the people that are here after listening to the inevitable audio series. Enjoy... wish that this was my first time watching this... but its not. I frequently revisit this from time to time.. unhealthy amounts LOL
More artist need to do this, it would connect with there friends in such a special way to see their favorite artist in the creative process
Damn, Tobias Harris really knows how to chop up a fresh beat
Can’t score a bucket at all tho
This song is so damn good,like you don’t just come up with this stuff by coincidence
"Born Sinner" is hands down the top 3 albums of the past decade EASY 🙌
No

Logic's standard plug-ins can sound a bit harsh... Most people are using 3rd party plug-ins anyway which can be downloaded into any DAW
The amount of times I come back to watch this is the craziest part foreal!
I like to come back to this from time to time. J. Cole is brilliant with so much heart. This entire song is a product of a genius and a true artist
