  • dude where the hell iz ur shurt, ill !!! who the fuc! videos themszelf n da nude & aint badu, oh u

  • Rope you are on point with that! This is really what its about! Think about how the illuminati are taking artist and making them worship the devil. What is saying she is not going to sale out! She is dropping the knowledge, we need God and we need to pray that they don't try to kill off all the artist in the industry.

  • I LIKE UR ANALYSIS BETTER!!!

  • Also the interview was for laughs, Erykah has a cool sense of humor, and I know this cause I have been a fan since I was 12 and now I'm 25. If you take her seriously...you are too serious. Beyonce and Lady Gaga are artist and if they choose to express themseleves like that, that on them. The Human is Art. It just messed up when people always think of nudeness or revealing clothes as sex not art. But Sex is an art form to, however it is a thin line when it can be nasty.

  • FYI: Had nothing to do with music industry. We are born nude, society, tells us being nude is wrong, like they tell us that being "Free is not free" so we are paying for it everyday, by being apart of "The Group", Erykah has "GroupThink" ozzing from her when she is assisanted because "GroupThink" is exactly what it says, It is the group that think for themselves. When you think for yourself and free your mind you are no long apart of "The Group" and people dont understand you

  • rick james wig lol....i thought i was the only one who thought that...but this analysis is deep and im glad somebody finally gets it :) two thumbs up

  • i fell you that video was a self expression of how people sell them self short just to get rich or noticed

  • I like your analysis. Its not just music, some people actually have a message!

  • please get of the you tube wit the taco meat !!!!!!!!!! lmao

  • Hey I liked your point of view on the video...I've also watched it several times and couldn't figure out exactly what point she was trying to make...but your thoughts about it make sense (even if thats not accurate)

    btw..I love the song...and the part of the video at the end where she speaks.

  • Ropeburn99, that was a deep analysis and I can follow that thinking. Most would say you definitely were thinking too hard, lol. But it makes sense in a way. Until she throws that wrench, right, lol. It seems you, more than many others, seem to have some real concept of her thought processes. Keep thinking brotha'; don't ever let anyone assassinate your creative wisdom and thinking. It is a part of who we are.

  • @taurgemKa thanks Taurgmka

  • @taurgemKa I'm with Ropeburne. You're on to it. Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the video. Everyone else concentrating on her being naked and kids being around they can't open their eyes and think more deeply about what's really being said. All applause Rope.

  • wow... u totally missed the point of this vid lol!!!

  • She maybe be able to put out certain symbolic information but she is still a slave, the whole Kennedy era and getting shot theme represents the Last President who attempted to stand up to the people who truly run the government...

  • Music artist & movie actors are company slaves, but artist getting "killed" in music videos is usually symbolic of the death of the old artist and transformation into their Alter ego "Possession" it's a ritual you've seen it in videos by such artist as: T.I "Dead and Gone" video Beyounce's video where she burns up in a car and then her Alter emerges. You will see these type of themes in various progression and the carrying out of archetypal programing for the targeted audience

  • good interpretation, I never thought of it that way

  • sigh .. dallas police dept, likely because of UGLY and jealous wives lol, have decide to charge Ms Badu with 'disorderly conduct ' because of thi video. unfuckingbelieveable !

    God forbid they should actually get SERIOUS and go after REAL criminals with tax payer dollars : /

  • let me tell you somethin fatboy!!!!! <<<do you see the downing of the freedom here..... Ight ERYKAH BADU IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YALL THAT IF YOU HAVE FREEDOM YOU WILL DIE ...SOCIETY DO NOT WANT YOU TO HAVE TRUE FREEDOM ....HENCE JFK , MLK, MALCOM X, ECT....DO YOU GET IT NOW

  • yo i dunno why I just wasted 4 minutes of my life.. you need to pick up a history book or something... and stop watching BET.. cause you're lost when it comes to analyzing such a conscious artist like Ms. Badu... I can't believe you would even think to compare Erykah to Lady Gaga or Beyonce who have sold themselves completely to the industry.. we all have opinions, yes.. but you're just speaking out of ignorance bro..

  • Erykah Badu - Great !!

  • Did anyone get that she shot that video there for a specific reason? Kennedy assasination? She got assasinated in the same place showing a ressemblance of the people that get shot are usually the non group thinkers the ones that dont follow the crowd

  • the album is off the chain!! its just a taste before the live show... & I'll be out my mind just in time GO E,

  • sorry bro but her opinion on her video is better then yours. your opinion is very simple minded, her opinion is the truth. in fact... if her video represented your interpretation she would be saying that she's better then everybody else... singer wise. the interviews that you editing in, took out of context, and judge her with is sorta like the group think concept she's talking about. real people are real all the time, those interviews are real, not acting for the camera's like beyonce.

  • Well said man, I like the way you think about this ruckus.

  • Put on a shirt!

  • @cecelia15 i like making videos with no shirt.. if freeing ;)

  • Deep analogy, bra!

  • @nwadiei thanks

  • haha...lol...OMG I'm rolling right now...you dont have any clothes on do you? haha....I see your taco meat!

  • @furn3000 lol

  • I like the taking the clothes off thing....if only!

  • Sexy

  • your whole theory makes sense....

  • @nayloc59 thanks... see we on the same page

  • @nayloc59 thanks

  • @ropeburne99 No problem... i completely feel your theory... dont worry about the haterz....

  • People like Beyonce don't have to use sex to sell she is extremely hard working very talented, i think she wants to be sexy and have that type of attention but this is corrupting the young minds, she knows it's wrong so blames on Sasha fierce. He video are getting more and more out of control it she almost be in porn.

  • Darm, that woman has an ass on her. :p

  • @blknbold6 amen

  • I really like your interpretation much better! She should have listen to you:) I think your thoughts are right on.

  • @KidCatalyst thanks

  • she is too cool love her

  • hmmm....with all due respect, sir - put a shirt on so you may be reviewed in a more intelligent and positive venue. I'm just sayin....

  • @TroyDiva thanks... if ididn't tell you shirt was off you wouldn't have noticed :)

  • This would be a half way decent review if this guy had a shirt on. I can't hear his words because I can't get passed the nasty curly hair on his hairy chest. EEWE!

  • @escribe96.. chest hair has never hurt nobody

  • You're on point man!! Expose the hypocrisy!!! Weed made her do that video :)

  • @danielfloban lol... she cool.. i love Erykah badu... :) she's getting the last laugh

  • What she needs to do is KEEP her clothes on, so that she does not compromise the image of black women. Too many expect us to be naked, girating or loose acting...she did not disappoint. She could have made her point with CLOTHES if she were smart enough.

  • Man you dont know what you're talking bout ...it was about LIBERATION.....

  • @tb518 i know what i was talking about.. remember is was my opinion (we all have one remember)

  • She was the only one bold enough to do something like this. Its expected, she's one of a kind.

  • @yoyodrama No, actually, she is one of many with these silly stunts.

  • lol...yea u might be thinkin just a lil' 2 hard!..but like u said its just music..I love her regardless!..plus it takes courage 2 make a move like that..go erykah!

  • She's using reverse psychology on us! No matter what people think she did it on purpose to sell records!! Beyonce and Gaga is murdering people in record sales and if Erykah didn't do it no one would have even known unless you are a devoted fan that her album was even coming out in the first place! So she knew what she was doing now she's on the news and she'll sell a bit more and make more money while a lot of us will being struggling to pay our bills!

  • Beyonce doesn't try to sell sex. Beyonce's a lady with hers. She can't help her bootylishiousness. It's all art anyway.

  • @JeReL19--If Beyonce isn't selling sex, then she can start coverin up any day now. She may not be on that "ho $hit" but trust and believe that Beyonce knows her fans like her body and image and she IS selling that. Why else would she try to lose "5 more pounds" when she already had a BEAUTIFUL body? SEX and SEXY sells.

  • @JeReL19 amen

  • @ropeburne99 Beyonce is a sex slave, Beyta.

  • @JeReL19 that bitch ain't got no damn booty! and she's no lady.

  • Cool thought process but keep your shirt on next time bro... Erykah Badu was enough....

  • @bmw2keh325i lol bro I was thinking the same damn thing.. is this dude making the video trying to compare himself to the FINENESS called ERYKAH BADU. Keep you're damn shirt on next time fella. lol

  • Interesting theory.

  • Miss Badu is pure GENIUS... wtf is a lady gaga.. and a freakin beyonce'???

  • @Ntheory2010--co sign!

  • @Ntheory2010 ...something "messed up in the head", is what those things you mentioned are, lol.

  • Erykah should have NEVER opened her mouth and talked against that "ho $hit" ;-)

  • @Wombfruit No, she should have just NOT done that ''ho sh*t"

  • @BIGBOSSandTHEDOLL--Hmm, I don't necessarily consider what she did "ho $hit" though, that's the thing. She was not trying to entice anyone or seduce. She was using herself--even though she was naked--poetry, and music to convey a message. At any rate, she did it and now she's facing a charge of $500. I ain't mad at Erykah.

  • DIggin' your video, but also diggin' Erykahs video. Even though she was naked, I can't say that it is the same as the "naked" that Beyonce and Lady Gaga use. To put it simply, if B and LG did not have the flashy performances, costumes and dances or the lace fronts, where would they be? LG would not be as big as she is, and Beyonce would be selling like her Destiny's Child counterparts (except that she has her hubby to keep her in the limelight). Erykahs talent CAN stand alone. On the other hand

  • Very interesting opinion...LOL..funny but you may have a point.

  • I'm not alone... Cool conclusion; the chest hair iced the cake! P(e)ace.

  • i love it! you are genius! and i like your version better as well! lol

  • @ISoLoveLondon lol.. isn't it logical :)

  • @ISoLoveLondon anything that take LADY GAGA off the front pages is fine by me..lol

  • @oluwalogbon58 amen

  • Your viewpoint is very intersting!
