New Video: Keyshia Cole – ‘I Ain’t Thru (Ft. Nicki Minaj)’

Published: Friday 12th Nov 2010 by Trent

The video for Keyshia Cole and Nicki Minaj’s ‘I Ain’t Thru’ has just been released. The visual was overseen by Benny Boom. Check it out below:

This video is just like any other visual crafted for a mid-tempo Urban record. In fact, there are some striking similarities between this and Cole’s ‘Let It Go’ clip. Still, there were very few video concepts available for a song as weak as this so I am not surprised. O well.

    GET IT KEYSHIA AND NICKI
    MOVE OUT THAT WAYYYY URBAN SMASH COMINN’ THRU

    It was real cute and it seems like they mastered keyshia’s vocals which i love cuz she was sounding rough on the leaked version. Her and nicki have good chemistry together i think this won’t be a big hit but it’ll get keyshia out there then she can release her ballad single and hopefully do well. Big ups to keyshia and nicki.

    This was so tired… i actually fell asleep.

  5. RosaRubbel November 12, 2010

    Keyshia I know you can do SO much better!

    just watched it back to back, i really love the styling & the stuttering beats matched to the video edit. both look good & im glad to see keyshia back. while reception for this record is mixed, i think it will grow on some people. love the video.

    Boring …. Nicki brought it though !!!

  8. jay November 12, 2010

    i hope the other video she shot is better. good vocal control by keyshia though, but i’m not going to sit there and say it’s great cause nicki was on it.

    i like nicki but she can’t save everyone’s songs and if she is then what happens when she goes to put out her own?

    music these days is just #tooweak

  9. truth November 12, 2010

    i like it the beat was kinda 5 yars ago…..im just glad keyshia didnt go all dancey rnb ….nicki minaj smacked it majorly her flow is so sick

  10. J Rock November 12, 2010

    I am a huge Keyshia fan so I say this with nothing but love… The song is not single worthy and this video has already been done. It was called Let It Go..the car scene, the city scenary, the club, the hot rapper, WTF!!! She really shoulda came harder than this. I am also mad that you can see the “getty images” symbol in the city landscape 3:30!
    Here’s hoping the other tracks are way better than this and here’s hoping the future vidoes are hot!
    Keyshia you really hurting me right now..and not in a good way! LOL

    I see Nicki taking another subliminal shot at Lil Kim. Bout sick of both of these Jello wenches.and their beef.

  12. Speechless November 12, 2010

    O please, nicki didnt do shyt to make it better. You wont see this becoming a top 10 hit and grammy nominated like Let It Go was.

  13. Wake Up Six November 12, 2010

    LET IT GO >>>>>>>> Than This! #FLOP

  14. WorldWideWaddie.com November 12, 2010

    Nicki be stealing the shine on EVERYONE’S songs! Wow!

    This video is just “Let It Go” recycled with a big swagga jack of the 1990’s Mary J. Blige.

    The song is VERY WHACK! I’m surprised at Keyshia Cole for this, but she is still one of my favorites.

  15. IKNOWTHETRUTH November 12, 2010

    KEYSHIA……(SIGHS) WHERE DO I BEGIN? THIS LOOKS LIKE LOST FOOTAGE FROM “LET IT GO”. IF THIS ISN’T A RECESSION SPECIAL I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS. IT WAS SO FAST AND SO FORGETTABLE. THE SONG SUCKS AND SO DOES THE VIDEO. BENNY BOOM COULD HAVE PICKED UP THE BALL A LITTLE. I MEAN WHY? WHY THIS SINGLE? AND THIS IS YOUR FOURTH LP! WHY ARE YOU STILL STRAINING YOUR VOCALS LIKE YOUR FIRST ALBUM? WHY THE HELL IN EVERY ONE OF YOUR UP TEMPO SONGS, THE VIDEO INCLUDES A PARTY/CLUB SCENE AT THE END? I MEAN YOU EVEN DROVE YOUR OWN PHANTOM IN THE VIDEO (THIS I KNOW) SO WHAT COULD THIS VIDEO REALLY HAVE COST? WHERE IS INTERSCOPE AT TELLING YOU TO GET RID OF THIS? THIS ISN’T EVEN AN ALBUM TRACK. AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS A TYLER PERRY/BLACK INDIE FLICK SOUNDTRACK SONG. KERI HILSON MAY HAVE NOT RELEASED A GOOD LEAD SINGLE WITH “BREAKING POINT” BUT SHE STILL RELEASED A GOOD SONG AND SHE’S FOLLOWING UP WITH TWO SMASHES AND “PRETTY GIRL ROCK” HAS AN AMAZING VIDEO. “THE WAY YOU LOVE ME” WILL HAVE A SHORT FILM. HONESTLY I’M REALLY HOPING THAT YOUR SECOND SINGLE IS A SMASH JUST LIKE KERI’S. I DON’T SEE THIS SINGLE GOING ANYWHERE. I’D BE VERY SHOCKED IF THIS EVEN TOUCHES THE HOT 100 AND LEAVES ANYWHERE OUT OF THE LOWER 80’S OF THE CHART. THIS SONG IS A HOTMESS.COM. I DID ENJOY SEEING YOUR COUSIN MARQUISHA IN THE VIDEO THOUGH. I LOVE THAT YOU’RE STILL REAL AND NEVER TOO GOOD TO KEEP IT LIKE THAT AT ALL TIMES. I LOVE YOU KEYSHIA BUT I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH YOUR ALBUM PROCESS RIGHT NOW. PLEASE PULL IT TOGETHER. THE WARDROBE WAS ALSO A MESS IN SOME SHOTS AS WELL. HELL EVEN NICKI LOOKS LIKE SHE’S STILL IN HER MIXTAPE PHASE IN THE VIDEO. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU AND INTERSCOPE RECORDS THINKING KEYSH?

  16. Mishka November 12, 2010

    They look good together but there’s just nooooo dynamism in the song.

    Only Mary J Blige can hype that kind of hook, sorry.

  17. Christian November 12, 2010

    I love Keyisha but this song is just AWFUL!!!! And normally a video would help me to start liking a song after I’ve heard it and I still don’t like it. 🙁

  18. Joel November 12, 2010

    THIS SONG IS SO WACK!!!! WHY IS SHE RELEASING IT?! AND WHY DID THE LABEL APPROVE THIS AS A SINGLE?!!? WTF?!?!?!

  19. Robier November 12, 2010

    THIS SONG IS NOT EVEN WORTH THE TIME THEY SPENT TO MAKE IT.

  20. Eric Crawley November 12, 2010

    damn IKNOWTHETRUTH went OFF! lol

  21. tee November 12, 2010

    Keyshia looks great after having her baby! However, not really feeling the song. Don’t care what her and “MINOT” say their body language shows that there is some tension there. Frankly I don’t think Nicki added to this song at all. Keyshia will need to go harder than this to get decent first week numbers…

  22. daboss8791 November 12, 2010

    That was quick. Which is why the video lacks the luster it needs. It does put you in the mind of L.I.G. Keyshia seems to be going back to her ghetto-fabulous loook as well. I like the song, but it’s not a home-run.

  23. truthis November 12, 2010

    Ummmm Keyshia…Noooo 2 this song…Noooo to this video…Nooooo 2 everybody and they mama throwing Nicki on a hook for a song(people please their are other rappers)…Noooo to Keyshia straining, struggling, shaky vocals….Nooooo to Benny Boom cause he couldve did better with this video….Noooo kind of budget….Ughhh i guess that is all…Disappointed would be putting it mildly!!!1

  24. twitter.com/africanthefire November 13, 2010

    I just feel embarrassed for Keyshia
    cant we get another video concept?

  25. Sheesh_BeyStan_Btw November 13, 2010

    I only liked Nicki’s Part.

  26. trucie November 13, 2010

    Nicki makes the track hot. Keisha should retire already. Whatever talent she has is clearly overshadowed by all things ghetto.

  27. TTSUP3R November 13, 2010

    Nicki stole this video. It should’ve been her lyrics on this beat feat. Keyshia on the hook then it would’ve been sure fire.

  28. rebirthofslick November 13, 2010

    didn’t like it at first but i t just might grow on me. i love keyshia! f*** nicki tho…

  29. BENJAMIN November 13, 2010

    It was ok. The shots with her in the alley and on the rooftop were nice, but not original. This is why she needs to work with other directors and NOT Benny Boom. All he does is recycle the same concept over and over and he is not that creative. I am a Keyshia fan, but I honestly don’t have faith in this song. She really can’t afford another “passable” chart album this time around. This is number 4, step it up Keysh.

  30. India November 13, 2010

    This song really grew on me. What do you mean the beat is bad? the beat is nice and makes the song to me. I think Nicki Minaj should have worn black, hot pink, or more darker colors to fit the mood of the video. Everybody had dark colors and she had on the beige outfit.
    I dont see the point in spending big money on a video that you dont even kno will be a hit so it makes perfect sense to me. Basic video for this song.
    Nicki has the cutest dimples.

  31. antertain November 13, 2010

    Ashanti ROOF scene from Only U!!!!!!

    Lazy effort from KC I think BUT good album filler.

    Dont’ quite see what Minaj’s verse has to do with “Ain’t Through”

    It’ll do well on 106 & Park

  32. TeamKeyshiaUK November 13, 2010

    All I can say is… Wait for Long Way Down.

  33. Dae’ November 13, 2010

    Is 35 percent of the population that deaf? lolz I quit, last comment.

  34. Whoa November 14, 2010
