Summary
- Tyler, the Creator reveals the “STOP PLAYING WITH ME” music video from his new album DON’T TAP THE GLASS, a dance-heavy visual supported by LeBron James and Clipse members Pusha T and Malice.
If dropping his second LP in less than one year wasn’t enough for a Monday morning, Tyler, the Creator has also revealed the first video treatment for DON’T TAP THE GLASS — a playful star-studded visual for “STOP PLAYING WITH ME.”
Featuring LeBron James and Clipse members Pusha T and Malice, the video sees Tyler wearing a retro number with a new stache and chunky glasses — perhaps, intentionally goofy. In a recent statement, the rapper, who also directed the visual, shared, “I asked some friends why they don’t dance in public and some said because of the fear of being filmed.” “It made me wonder how much of our human spirit got killed because of the fear of being a meme, all for having a good time,” he added.
Unlike the militant aesthetics of CHROMAKOPIA, the feel of the first video for DON’T TAP THE GLASS is casual, with a similar feel to Kendrick’s recent “Squabble Up” video. Revealing golden grills in up-close shots and red Converse on feet, Tyler dances alone in the still frame — minus sudden appearances from his guests. With his latest project, the rapper wants to unlock egos and get people to dance:”This album was not made for sitting still. Dancing, driving, running any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it. Only at full volume.”
