In the video, Badu walks around Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, site of the November, 1963 shooting of President John F. Kennedy. Apparently filmed on St. Patrick's Day, onlookers watch as she slowly removes articles of clothing.
Erykah Badu's latest video, in which the singer strips naked as she strolls through downtown Dallas, is clever, but it's also oozing ego. It purports to be about more than it really is.
Taking off your clothes and courting controversy? An old trick used by some to gain fame or notoriety, and usually employed by the talent-less. But this is not Erykah Badu's video.
