Nah we know what drove Andre 3000, Common, DeAngelo and Jay Electronica crazy.
"So, you want me to put on a turban, and this crocheted jumpsuit? Nah, I can't do that, what the homies gonna' say?""Wait, from the back anytime I want? You serious??"
"All right. Where the pants at?"
True story.

ReplyDelete"i was petrified while shooting this video ... but liberation began to set in .i conquered many fears in that few moments . i am greatful . "-Erykah
"we have all been VICTIMS of groupthink. we are ALL guilty of groupthink" -Erykah
ReplyDelete"one cant oppose groupthink , its a part of human nature , but only recognize his/her position in the thing and redefine his/herself ." -Erykah
ReplyDelete"the people caught in the shot were trying hard to ignore me . lol cept one guy grbbing clothes... it was the peeps off camera yelling....
ReplyDeletethey were yelling , THIS IS A PUBLIC PLACE : YOU OUGHTA BE ASHAMED : PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON : DAMN GIRL! etc...

I love her! Thank you Stylistic!
ReplyDeletei really love her too, n this song is awesome. also thanks for posting her comments...i totally dig that she has a message. however im still tryn to put all the peices of the video's concept together in my head...i hope that when i do, it will make perfect sense...if anyone cares to explain id be more than willing to listen
ReplyDeleteiLove this trak n Ms Badu, but iCouldn't help noticing how big her booty was for such a petite woman. Not in a bad way, iJust didn't realise she had one that shapely, dat's all.
ReplyDeleteBTW, hello Stylistic MF, nice to see u back sista.
DV - I see stylistic got to you before me...
ReplyDeleteShe's light years ahead and right on time as always.

Greetings. Ur wlcm Anonymouses.
ReplyDeleteKW, hey Sis. I've been around. I stop by, read the articles & comments, don't always comment because either I don't have time, don't feel like arguing or someone has said what I was gonna say.
Erykah always had that "big ole booty," even before her children when she was really skinny. At first she kept it hidden a lot. Over the years, she's been feeling freer & freer.....and here recently she felt the free-est.
I love this video too. I've watched it several times cause I still can't believe my eyes. I can't believe she actually did it.
Thank you KP.
"if anyone cares to explain id be more than willing to listen" Anon
I believe Erykah is demonstrating that when one has the courage to display themselves nakedly, whether literally or figuratively, those who do not understand them will always take offense and even go to the extreme to shoot them down. But if one faces the danger without retreating, they can be reborn from the experience......or something like that.
Peace. Y'all have a good day.
In addition, Erykah shot this video in the same location in Dallas where JFK was shot & killed.

LMBAO!!

KP,
ReplyDeleteLOL.
I get where she's going with this...but while watching it I got an eerie reminder of that woman who dropped trow in the middle of time square.
ReplyDelete^^Only muhfuggah that funny is Undercover Blackman
ReplyDeleteI saw her last summer in Columbia,MD...Black folks was leaving before her set started, talking about "she crazy" and some other foolishness. Now watch how many brothers will be walking around talking about this video...with no attempt at trying to figure out what the actual video represents...
ReplyDelete...But I ain't gonna lie, I was lookin' too, shooooot.
Amazing live show, BTW. We've made it practically a tradition to see her when she's in town.
D. Smith has good taste. I've seen her about 4-5 times myself. Don't worry bruh, the chosen few can multitask (look and absorb).
ReplyDeleteHow people describe this video is red pill vs blue pill.

I've had New Amerykah Pt. II on repeat since 8:54 this morning...it's 4:26. And I got a call from a friend who didn't catch the video; apparently they've begun pulling it. Figures...let them eat GaGa.
ReplyDeleteAnd PLEASE check for this if you haven't already: Shafiq Husayn "Shafiq-En-A-Free-Ka". This brother is no joke (also 1/3rd of The Sa-Ra Creative Partners). Prior to today, had that one playing at least once a day since December, please believe it. Stay woke.
Sa Ra's "Hollywood Recordings" is good stuff. Their instrumental on Kweli's album is sum kinda special.
