Erykah Badu is back people !! She's back with a great statement too. A naked one. The hip hop star has release her new single 'Window Seat' from her new album New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh with a video that has caused controversy in America. The video shows Badu walking through downtown Dallas, taking of every item of clothing she has on from her coat right down to her nick-nacks !! This has caused a stir! Her record label Universal Music Group (Motown) has taken the video down from Youtube for one, and the authorities in the 'Lone State' accoring to Dallas KXAS are considering charging her with 'indecent exposure'. Luckily for the 'Love of My Life' singer the police didn't catch her on the day of the shoot, and if she is extra lucky and nobody comes forward with complaints she will escape a possible $4000 fine and a year in jail. DAMN THAT'S HARSH !! Badu told BET.com:
"I feel like I shed a lot of things, confronted a lot of fears...I hope I spoke for women and men and people who feel trapped under their own coverings who wish to also be liberated."Ironically, the spot where Badu lies down naked at the end of the video before her poetic verse that states: They who play it safe, are quick to assasiante what they do not understand... Is the historical place where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. SHE'S ON POINT !!
Well I think the song fits the video perfectly. She is too good!
Check the video out, and feel liberated within !!
DAMN RIGHT GIRL. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION & SPEECH !!
GOT TO LOVE ERYKAH !!
