Saying Clipse rapper Pusha T and Odd Future honcho Tyler, The Creator, who's nominated for a 2011 MTV VMA for Best New Artist, have trouble on their minds is like saying Justin Bieber is a little bit popular. But as the new video for "Trouble On My Mind" shows, the duo are more into innocent pranks and mischief than anything requiring a padded cell.
While the Jason Goldwatch-directed video starts off ominously enough -- Pusha and Tyler don ski masks while driving around Los Angeles -- the only projectiles launched are eggs at nearby pedestrians. With Tyler still nursing a very real broken foot, the rapper fully utilizes a comically out-of-place mobility scooter as a gang of skaters and one overzealous woman in a housedress follow/grope him.
That's when things get out of control, as Tyler's crew demolish and vandalize a hotel room, while Pusha and his one-man entourage destroy a local bodega. We'll let the video detail the specifics, but let's just say we feel sorry for the housekeeper shown at the end.
"Trouble On My Mind," produced by The Neptunes, will appear on Pusha T’s Fear of God: Let Us Pray, out Aug. 23.
