So if it looks like newly-minted VMA nominee Tyler is having the time of his life as he and Star Trak alum Pusha T drive through Beverly Hills, sporting black tees and ski masks while egging shoppers, he probably is.
The video for Pusha and Tyler's "Trouble on My Mind" debuted Wednesday at midnight on MTV Jams. The Jason Goldwatch-directed video juxtaposes Pusha and Tyler in each other's worlds. After the two stalk Rodeo Drive the ski-masked way, Tyler's verse transports him and his idol to Downtown L.A., where they cruise what looks like Skid Row with a few skaters, homeless people and Jasper Dolphin in tow.
The video was shot after Odd Future's show at L.A.'s House of Blues, where Tyler broke his foot, so he sports a cast, crutches and a motorized scooter throughout. The final two scenes take the duo to a hotel room and liquor store ripe for thrashing. They both wear the same outfit through each scene with an extra-vicious Pusha going so far as to hop along using Tyler's crutches, rocking a baseball tee and Supreme snapback.
"Trouble on My Mind" is the first offering from Pusha T's Fear of God 2: Let Us Pray EP, which will feature tracks from Pusha's Fear of God mixtape released earlier this year. The EP also includes a few new cuts, including "Trouble," and is expected to drop August 23.

After 'Deathly Hallows,' Tom Felton Goes From 'Potter' To Primates
Actor will hit the big screen again in next month's 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' with a spate of big-screen parts on the horizon.

Photo: 20th Century FoxTom Felton may be giving up his bleached-blond Draco Malfoy hair color, but he's not giving up his "Harry Potter" character's bad attitude just yet.
As "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" was breaking box-office records and opening to critical acclaim over the weekend, Felton was already looking forward to his first post-"Potter" film, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," which hits theaters on August 5. And from what he's told MTV News about the movie's plot, his "Apes" character has a few things in common with Draco.
"My character, he works at a primate facility — I can reveal that — in which ... he's not the nicest of people looking after these lovely creatures," Felton teased.
But that's not the only project Felton is gearing up for: He finished filming "The Apparition" last year, a thriller that also stars "Twilight" actress Ashley Greene and "Captain America: The First Avenger" actor Sebastian Stan. While "Apparition" isn't due out until sometime in 2012, the movie is already earning some serious buzz in the online fan communities because it brings together two major movie franchises.
Felton has also filmed the sports flick "From the Rough" with Taraji P. Henson and Justin Chon and director Pierre Bagley. Add to that docket two war movies: "Grace and Danger" is currently in pre-production and "Evac" is on the horizon.
With films like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Apparition" on the way, Felton seems to be positioning himself as a viable big-screen presence post-"Potter." But he seemed genuinely surprise that the opportunity to make another big-budget movie had come so quickly after the end of "Potter."
"It was very exciting for me to go from 'Harry Potter' on to ['Rise of the Planet of the Apes']," he told MTV News. "I didn't expect to go on to that class of set straight away, so it was hugely exciting. We had a great time making it."
Check out everything we've got on "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2."

Beyonce Covers COMPLEX Mag, Talks "Rival" Rihanna, Choosing Her New Sound, & Kanye Bringing Her To T
Beyonce's covering the brand new issue of Complex magazine. And it seems she's opening up more and more as each interview unfolds. She no longer has Pappy Knowles yanking the reigns of what she can and can't say. So she's been dishing in detail about making a distinction between her and Rihanna, being proud of her own throne, her utter admiration for her husband, and why she's confident in the new sound she's bringing to R&B.
Highlights from her interview, plus gorgeous pics inside...
We picked out the highlights of Beyonce's full cover story from Complex magazine. She made clear she doesn't think she's perfect, and she's giving you a bit more of what she really thinks and feels about turning 30 and everything careerwise and personal that comes with that.
Peep the pics then the highlights where she discusses what separates her from Rihanna, why she's in awe of her husband, what inspired her eclectic sound, and more:
Hotness.
On her constant rumored rivalry with Rihanna
“There is room on this earth for many queens. I have an authentic, God-given talent, drive, and longevity that will always separate me from everyone else. I’ve been fortunate to accomplish things that the younger generation of queens dream of accomplishing. I have no desire for anyone else’s throne. I am very comfortable in the throne I’ve been building for the past 15 years.”
On working with Kanye again for 4 and him moving her to tears
“The fact that he’s belting out his pain, his confusion, and his anger, with no pre-written lyrics, was so moving,” she says. “He’s singing his heart out for five minutes. He is so vulnerable. I love when an artist can be so honest.”
On working with Frank Ocean after hearing him for the first time
“Jay had a CD playing in the car one Sunday when we were driving to Brooklyn. I noticed his tone, his arrangements, and his storytelling. I immediately reached out to him—literally the next morning. I asked him to fly to New York and work on my record.”
On her admiration of her husband's talent
“Jay’s music is more than music. His lyrics have fathered generations. All that he has overcome gives millions so much hope. There are moments when I see his lips moving and I can see lyrics floating above his head and I think, ‘Wow! How did I get so lucky to be able to witness this level of genius so closely?’”
How she deals with bad days
“I only allow myself one day to feel sorry for myself. People who complain really get on my nerves. When I’m not feeling my best I ask myself, ‘What are you gonna do about it?’ I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.”
On why she went with this new ecelctic sound for 4
Figuring out a way to get R&B back on the radio is challenging. Everything sounds the same on the radio. With 4 I tried to mix R&B from the ’70s and the ’90s with rock ‘n’ roll and a lot of horns to create something new and exciting. I wanted musical changes, bridges, vibrata, live instrumentation, and classic songwriting.”
