Probably one of the most graphic music videos of the year, this video somehow, despite being "MTV correct", "Yonkers" managed to earn itself a nomination for "Video of the Year", Now, its graphic at times and very hard to understand, but at the same time, its a visual masterpiece made perfectly for the song. The song itself is Tyler primarily talking to himself with imput from his alter-ego Wolf Haley.
The music video basically contains Tyler eating a bug, throwing up, and hanging himself at the end. Yes, it is disturbing, but considering the musical content the video fits. "Yonkers" is shot in black and white to more or less emphasize the dark and dreary mood of the music. Throughout the music video, it shows Tyler sitting down simply rapping, but his acting to convey the emotions of the music are spot on and you can clearly see the dedication he put into making this video which he directed by himself.
F**K YEAH RATING: 8.5
