Danny Brown Gets Wild & Weird In Jonah Hill Directed "Ain't It Funny" Featuring Gus Van Sant

Jonah Hill will soon mount his feature directorial debut “Mid ’90s,” but the aspiring filmmaker has already cut his teeth in the music video realm, getting behind the camera for Sara Bareilles‘ “Gonna Get Over You.” However, he really takes it up a notch with “Ain’t It Funny” for out there rapper Danny Brown.

Featuring “Growing Pains” Mom Joanna Kerns and Gus Van Sant (who Hill is currently working with on “Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot“), the clever concept imagines Danny Brown as a troubled, sad sack, and potentially dangerous comic relief in an ’80s style sitcom. The video is just as wild as the song, and it’s worth it for alone for Van Sant and Brown having a momentary heart-to-heart.

Danny Brown’s new album Atrocity Exhibition is now available everywhere.
