Erykah Badu's new album is taking a window seat to her controversial new video.
For her "Window Seat" music video, released Saturday, Badu strips as she walks down a Dallas sidewalk before collapsing naked near the spot where John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.
The video was shot for Badu's new album, "New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh" without a crew in one take on March 17, according to her Twitter.
Badu says she was verbally harassed on the day of filming, though the taunts did not make the final cut.
"they were yelling, 'THIS IS A PUBLIC PLACE : YOU OUGHTA BE ASHAMED : PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON : DAMN GIRL! etc," she tweeted.
As the music video progresses, a naked Badu reaches Dealey Plaza and a gunshot rings out in the distance. Badu's head snaps back and the naked singer crumples to the floor.
Badu wrote that she was "too busy lookin for cops" to be shy about her nudity, though she was aware that children were around and “prayed they wouldn’t b traumatized.”
When the cameras stopped, Badu tweets that she and her cameraman fled.
According to the singer, she was speaking out against "groupthink," a psychological term referring to a group of people who sacrifice individuality in order to embrace collective thought and avoid conflict.
A Dallas Police spokeswoman told CNN that the songstress would not be charged for indecent exposure.
Badu's Tuesday morning post on Twitter appeared to ring true, "The butt naked truth is powerful America !!!!"

An outcry of individualism or an instance of self glorification and marketing promotion?
That being said, I would do her.


I imagine this will get her video a few more views.
Anyone else notice the man pick up her jacket and shoes? lol

I loled! That video was so stupid, but I agree with Fufu.


I like it, and I don't think it was done for viral marketing, if she wanted to do that she could've just danced on a stripper pole in a closed set like every rap video has women doing. I've liked her since On and On especially the line
"If we were made in His image
Then call us by our names
Most intellects do not Believe in God
But they fear us just the same"
To me she's calling out all the faithful for waging wars letting their believes be agents of destruction....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
