Yonkers is oddly compelling to watch, and the fact it was directed by Tyler himself gives it extra points in my book - a very personal piece of art.

I don't see how Yonkers is all too original or deep. Just seems like "The Feel Again (Stay)" with jumping. And a billion other videos, really ...
Stepfather's not superb but it's better. _________________

The 'Yonkers' video was one of those real "have you seen that?!?" moments, everybody I knew was talking about it and it briefly turned Tyler into the most exciting hip-hop artist in the world. It's a brilliant video that straddles the line between cool and creepy very well, and compared to the maximalism of most hip-hop videos it was, and is, extremely refreshing.

I've always found both to be quite dark, but Yonkers is a little less specific, so therefore better. _________________ Finnegan was super bad-ass.
