Well, it was reported yesterday that Erykah Badu strips for her new music video.  The striptease act was part of her video for the new song, “Window Seat”.  The video opens up with her slowly walking down the street in Dallas, right near where Pres. Kennedy was assassinated.  Supposedly, it was filmed very quickly and took many of those that were nearby by surprise.

 As Erykah Badu strips, a shot rings out and she collapsed to the ground.  The vocalist acknowledged that there were people yelling to her about it being a public place, you should be ashamed of yourself and put your clothes back on.  But that did not seem to affect her in any way.  She simply kept her head up and kept on going.  She said on her Twitter page that, “I been naked all along in my words, actions and deed. That’s the real vulnerable place.”

 The whole point as Badu strips is to show people that they are quick to dismiss anything that they may not understand.  There was her way of showing how people need to become more individualized.  This shows in her style of music as she combines her R&B with a Jazz mix.  She is calling herself the Queen of neo-soul and that is extremely reflective in her music.  Another up-and-coming hip-hop/rap artist, Wiz Khalifa has also learned how to combine many different sounds to create his unique mix tapes.  Luckily for Badu, no one filed any kind of indecency charges.
