Tyler the Weirdo

The song Yonkers by Tyler the Creator is odd and creepy enough in itself, and the music video only adds to the weirdness of the song. The video is in black and white and centers solely on Tyler the Creator, constantly zooming in and out of focus on him. The video gives off an eerie feeling from the get go. The video only gets creepier when you see Tyler the Creator letting a cockroach crawl on his hands, and then the word “kill” written on his left hand. Tyler the Creator proceeds to eat the cockroach, which is disgusting enough, then to make things worse you see him throwing up. At the end of the video you see a noose drop down into the scene, which Tyler the Creator puts around his neck. He then stands up on his stool and tips it over, hanging himself to death, all while seeing his legs and feet are having spasms. One way I would describe the video is disturbing. I really have no idea how the video connects to the lyrics of the song, except for that they are both extremely odd. Then again, if you ever decide to listen to other songs of Tyler the Creator and realize how weird they all are, you may understand that the video just goes along with the oddness of his songs.
