Schoolboy Q's 'Floating' Video Does The Impossible — And Gets A Camera Drunk

Schoolboy Q is one of rap's most imaginative minds once it comes to music video concepts, nevertheless you knew that already. Just look at the sheer wittiness of the visual for "Numb Numb Juice" and you'll be, well, numb. "Floating" is his latest creative masterpiece and it's sort of hard to explain. It's manic — fast and angry like the franchise, and unapologetically Q. In case you get dizzy with little effort, yet, this could be something to imagine before watching it.


The star is "Floating" isn't Schoolboy Q or 21 Savage (who actually isn't in the video). It's the constantly changing, vibrating, and withering camera. The video looks like parts of it are shot in real-life stop-motion, as if characters are being replace of scenes and deposited into manipulated backdrops around Los Angeles — save for a bouncing vehicle that gets its own scene, endlessly going up and down, up, down, up.


and then the camera whooshes to the next and never helps stop while in the video. Whether it's showing Schoolboy Q with a blank face indoor of a night club, or a person getting shaken upside down on a tall building's background, the camera constantly moves as if it's afraid of what it's seeing. There's nothing like it out to compare it to. You'll just have to be able to see it for yourself.


"Floating" appears on Schoolboy Q's recently released album, Crash Talk, which dropped on April 26. The LP features the previously released singles "Numb Numb Juice," "Crash," and "Chopstix," which features Travis Scott.
