Tyler, the Creator Shares ‘DHOUGHT I WAS DEAD’ Music Video

Tyler, the Creator continued to expand it CHROMAKOPIA world before the expected album was released. On Sunday (October 27), the California native delivered the music video for “DHOUGHT I WAS DEAD,” hours before the album was officially released the next morning.

In the self-directed clip, the 33-year-old performs the song while standing on the wing of a vintage fighter plane. The black and white toned image follows the videos for “ST. CHROMA” and “NOID”, off CHROMAKOPIA as well as promotional videos for the album and upcoming world tour.

“Thank you very much for coming. I was born and raised in LA. Inglewood, Hawthorne to be precise. This album was originally about growing up in these areas,” the Grammy winner told fans at a listening event on Sunday night Chromacopy at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA.

“The album kind of turned into me taking a lot of things that my mom told me when I was a kid. Now that I’m 33, all those things are like, ‘Oh, that’s what she was talking about! Oh, I’m not the man I was when I was twenty! Oh sh*t!’”

He continued, “People are getting older. People who have children and families. And all I have is a new Ferrari and it feels a little weird after a while. I’m gaining weight. I have gray hairs on my chest.”
