Earl Sweatshirt Flees From The Darkness In An Animated Clip For "Off Top"
Earl Sweatshirt has long been one hip-hop's most animated characters. Whether you take Doris or the brooding follow-up I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside as testament, the ex-Odd Future cohort has always had a knack for cartoonish cadence and lucid wordplay, which comes full-circle today, as he unveils the clip for the second single from his new album, "Off Top." The clip -- animated by Taylor Johnson -- envelopes Earl in a psychotically animated world, where he tries with all his might to break free from the darkness, as maniacal cops attempt to thwart his escape, eventually coming to a tragic end. Earl Sweatshirt's I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside is available for you to purchase on iTunes today, with the new visual only amping up anticipation for his forthcoming tour, the dates for which are listed below. Watch as Earl gets animated in the video for "Off Top" and hold tight for the next episode.a
