Erykah Badu Video Uncut
Written under the category Gossips
Erykah Badu video uncut is one of the most famous point of discussion and most watched video all around and main reason for Erykah Badu to become the most watched video is the nude presentation of Erykah Badu on the road.
And, just two days after its release, the video, which finds Badu walking around Dealey Plaza and stripping off her clothes until she ends up fully nude just feet from John F.
Kennedy’s assassination spot (where, uh, SPOILER ALERT, she gets shot and killed), is turning out to be quite the controversial item, earning the attention of outlets as varied as CNN International, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly and New York Magazine (not to mention pretty much every music blog that exists) this morning, as even a cursory Google News search with Badu’s name reveals.
At 3:33 a.m. on Saturday morning (Eastern Time), Erykah Badu debuted the above Matt & Kim-inspired video for her new single, “Window Seat,” on her Web site. The single is the first off her New Amerykah Pt. II: Return of the Ankh album, which will be released for purchase tomorrow.
Huffingtonpost.com Q: To start, what can you tell me about the thought process behind the video for “Window Seat”?
EB: The song “Window Seat” is about liberating yourself from layers and layers of skin or demons that are a hindrance to your growth or freedom, or evolution. I wanted to do something that said just that, so I started to think about shedding, nudity, taking things off in a very artful way. I am from the theater, and this is just a part of expression to us, a part of art. And I saw a video by a group called Matt and Kim, and it was filmed in Times Square. And I thought it was the bravest, most liberating thing I’ve ever seen two people do. And I wanted to dedicate this contagious act of liberation and freedom to them. I hoped it would become something contagious that people would want to do in some way or another.
Q: And what was the thinking on the location and the Kennedy element to it?
A: Times Square is the most monumental place in New York, and when I was thinking of monumental places, the grassy knoll was the most monumental place in Dallas I could think of. I tied it in a way that compared that assassination to the character assassination one would go through after showing his or her self completely. That’s exactly the action that I wanted to display.
Q: And I take it you knew that there would be a similar real-life reaction when the video was released?
A: Yeah. I knew that would happen, so as soon as the thought came to my mind, I decided to assassinate myself as a gesture. Because it was going to happen anyway. The video is a prediction of what is happening now.
It was a great video, and I didn’t know Erykah was packing like that.
