Childish Gambino gets narcissistic in the new official video for Because the Internet track "Sweatpants."
The video sees a looped scene in a diner where all the patrons and staff slowly turn into Gambino doppelgängers. It's sort of like Groundhog Day meets Being John Malkovich. As the trippy video progresses, things get weirder and weirder, "Sweatpants" blends into album track "Urn," and Bino winds up outside with a bunch of dancing people. Watch the clip above.
Although the video seems to be well received, Gambino himself wasn't happy with the way it was released. He took to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction:
so this sweatpants video and blog was important to us.
