Erykah Badu - Window Seat Video
 

This is has been getting coverage ALL day yesterday and today (I live in DFW). In case you haven't seen the video:

Apparently, the director didn't secure any permits and the filming occurred while "regular" folks (not extras) were visiting the JFK memorial.

She has a fat ass, that's it.

The end.

Understatement of the year.

She's a phony. I'm tired of all this "I'm so deep watch me take off my clothes" melodrama.

Her dreadlocks weren't even real.

Well it's old hat now...

Madonna did this, Alanis (FIXED!) Morrisette and a few more...now the question is, if I remember correctly Badu has been against 'selling out' to the music industry just to sell records.

She killed that right here and moreso, in public.

Kinda like Kennedy

Exactly @ SensI about the dredds...I lost so much respect for her when I found out they were fake.

So many people will miss whatever message she was attempting to make with this song and focus on the fact that she stripped nude in public to make a record.

I love Erykah, but I've been kinda eh with this whole "controversy" that's unfolding.

Her reasoning was that she's "fighting groupthink" by going against the grain. I saw nekkid ass.

Her music is amazing (IMO), and I applaud her courage for being so vulnerable in public, but yeah...I've seen ass before. Not necessarily groundbreaking.

Co-sign with the last part.

;) I've seen her in concert. She's awesome but her authenticity was ALWAYS questioned--going back to her days as a college beauty queen. People who are looking for a "different kind of artist" have really found an actress and borderline attention whore in Badu. India.Arie is more understatedly "different" than she is--but EVERY "different" person is just like every other "different" person. :) Not so "different" afterall.

And, for the record, Maxwell's "afro" wasn't real. It was a weave. So, he didn't really CUT his hair the way it is now.

:eek:

well...okay...i didn't like it anyway. but still. O_o

Don't believe everything you hear or read. I don't believe this at all and never did.

is this the uncut version?

well, apparently not.

yea, she got a fatty.

me likes.

Yessssiiirrrrrrrr!!

Co-sign to the fullest. I only checked out the vid b/c I heard so much about it from others, and I wanted to see it for myself. I can now vouch, I'm a believer, 'nuff said.

*And I K.I.M.*

i bet it's been a minute, huh?

If believing his hair was real makes you happy, enjoy yourself. ;)
