Erykah Badu Strips in Controversial Music Video (TheCelebrityCafe.com) Posted: 30 Mar 2010 10:36 AM PDT Erykah Badu is still stirring the controversy pot. The soul singer debuted her music video for "Window Seat" Saturday and most people aren't too happy about it. The video shows Badu stripping in broad daylight as she walks down a Dallas street. The street is the same location where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, the New York Daily News reports. Badu eventually gets butt-naked and collapses on the pavement after being shot in the head. Apparently, the video was filmed without a crew in a single take and citizens weren't forewarned about the flash of skin, according to the paper. The NY Daily News also says Badu was too concerned about police stomping out the naked shoot to be self-conscious about baring it all. But people on the street were definitely concerned and outraged as they verbally insulted and harassed Badu. When the camera stopped rolling, Badu and her cameraman fled the scene, per the NY Daily News. The single is from Badu's upcoming album New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh.

Notorious B.I.G.'s Music Gets New Life On 'Video Remix Collection' (MTV Music Television) Posted: 30 Mar 2010 05:18 AM PDT
Don't Sleep: Necessary Notables Mixtape DVD: "March 9: Video Remix Collection" Headliners: The Notorious B.I.G., Ralph McDaniels and J.Period
Key Cameos: No guest stars, but you have to check for the blends. "Flava in Ya Ear" over the track from Jay-Z's "P.S.A." "Hypnotize" over the track from Eric B and Rakim's "Paid in Full." "One More Chance" over the instrumental from Mary Jane Girls' "All Night Long" and the Gap Band's "Outstanding." Essential Info: Ralph McDaniels is hip-hop. He's been documenting the culture since the beginning. In the early '80s, McDaniels, then a college student, would tape footage of hip-hop godfathers like Grand Master Flash and Melle Mel, not because he had an outlet to put it on, but because he knew in his heart that the culture had to be recorded. Thirty years later, McDaniels can be considered an architect himself, with his New York-based video program "Video Music Box" becoming a staple in rap. It was the place where you could find all videos from new artists as well as the stars every day after school. Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan, BBD, KRS-One and countless others not only sent their videos in, they gave McDaniels interviews at a time when we didn't see much hip-hop on TV. One of McDaniels' favorite subjects was the Notorious B.I.G. Uncle Ralph described Biggie as being very serious in the booth but a jokester that could rival the Kings of Comedy when he wasn't working. McDaniels also remembers Biggie as a "student of the game." "I have footage of him at a Big Daddy Kane concert, and he was just in the crowd," McDaniels told Mixtape Daily. "He was a student of the game. He knew Kane was an MC from Brooklyn that came early. That told me a lot. He wasn't anybody yet; he was just a cat trying to get on. To be around a guy like that, hilarious. I would want to be a Junior M.A.F.I.A. member just to be down with that cat there." McDaniels recently teamed with J.Period to salute Big Poppa with a collection of remix videos called "March 9: Video Remix Collection." "This thing was kinda the next evolution of the March 9th remix project I started on the 10th anniversary of Big passing with my man G. Brown," Period explained. "I been speaking to Ralph for a minute — I love what he does; he likes what I do with the mixtapes — about finding a way to collabo. This seems like the best first step: Find somebody like Big, take the remixes and see what happens. When you set it to video, it takes it to life in a whole new way." "I always like looking for something new, something different," McDaniels said. "I was familiar with J.Period's original CD mixtape. I was like, 'This is kinda dope.' That's when we started talking about it. So I'll take the visuals. Sometimes, the visuals don't match, because there might be edits and all kinds of things like that involved. I have to find something that fits for that particular scene. I have to use my imagination and think about the fans as well. What would they like to see? Because I'm a music-video person, I live for the visuals. ... We try to input some of these things in to the video mixes. Biggie don't have a lot of videos he did, maybe only like five or six videos he was in. So we had to get creative. Thankfully, the ones we put out, they were ones he had videos for. But there's some songs like 'Party and Bullsh--' that there were no videos for. But there's footage out there of him performing. That's the creative stuff we had to work on fitting it together."

Erykah Badu Strips On Downtown Dallas Street For Music Video (KWTX-TV Waco) Posted: 30 Mar 2010 07:10 AM PDT DALLAS (March 30, 2010)--A new music video that in which Dallas native Erykah Badu walks and strips naked on a downtown Dallas street is drawing criticism from officials in her hometown. The video for the Badu ballad "Window Seat" shows Badu walking in front of the Texas School Book Depository from which President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. As she walks, she strips nude and then is shot down near where Kennedy was shot. On her Twitter feed, Badu said the video "was shot guerrilla style, no crew, 1 take, no closed set, no warning, 2 min., downtown dallas, then ran like hell." City spokesman Frank Librio said Badu's crew never applied for required permits. He said "guerrilla" film crews who "usually shoot these scenes in one take know that if they are discovered they would face arrest and/or penalties." Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
