Tyler, The Creator has recruited a number of stars for the music video for “Darling, I” from his previous album Chromakopia.
While Tyler has since released Don’t Tap the Glass, the Odd Future founder still has time for its chart-topping predecessor.
In the flirty video, Tyler can be seen putting the moves on the likes of Lauren London, Nia Long, Willow Smith and Ayo Edebiri.
The clip also features a brief cameo from Teezo Touchdown who features on the song.
Tyler recently outlined his creative philosophy in an interview with Apple Music.
He said: “I didn’t wanna be precious. I didn’t want to spend three years and try to be super innovative. … I made an album, I was done.”
Tyler went on to explain: “I was just gonna upload that muthafucka the moment it was done and continue moving on with my life because I just wanted it out. And it’s so easy to design your own handcuffs, lock yourself up, and put the key over there that just turns…into pressure, whether it’s from you or fans.”
He added: “People end up scared and not putting albums out for 15 years because they feel like they always have to — ‘I got to make the most innovative, best stuff.’ And sometimes, man, that song is good. Just put that bitch out. ‘Cause when n-ggas is 80 years old, you really think [you] about to sit here [with] all this great music on a hard drive, be like, ‘Oh fuck, it wasn’t…’ Fuck it, put it out.”
The “Sticky” rapper concluded by saying: “But the beauty in it is like my idea on that might change tomorrow. I might work on something new be like, ‘Oh, I gotta spend five years on this album and this bridge and get these strings right.’ But where I’m at now, I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I just wanna make stuff and put it out like when I was 17,’ ’cause that shit was just fun and free.”
Tyler released Don’t Tap the Glass less than a year after he dropped Chromakopia with the album debuting atop the Billboard 200.
