Tyler, the Creator dreamed the Odd Future universe out of his own twisted and colorful imagination. Like a new-school George Clinton with major daddy issues, the Fairfax rapper has returned with his latest long-playing therapy session, IGOR, out today.

The full-length arrives with a new music video for the single “EARFQUAKE.” The clip co-stars Tracee Ellis Ross, a.k.a. the mom on TV’s Black-ish, a.k.a. daughter of Motown legend Diana Ross.

Ross plays a talk show host welcoming Tyler to her show, and fits right into Odd’s wild universe. Their awkward exchange kicks off the vid, which turns into quite the fireman fantasy by the end. You’ll see what we mean below.
