:
I'm definately in love with Erykah. If I was gonna try to wife a woman in the industry, she'd be on top of the list. Take notice what a REAL woman looks like. ***, she's beautiful! Great message too. For all you dumb @$$es, its not weird, its individualism, its uniqueness. Try it out. There is someone special inside that shell you're carrying around; stop stifling him/her trying to emulate what you see in the media.
I LOVE Erykah to death but C'mon MA! You got kids damnit!!! At what point do these GROWNAZZ people(artist) start acting their *** ages? Kids today are not buying ur $hit because they r into *** azz skinny jeans *** Boyz, Non-Sense Souljah Boy, Get-Toe WackaFlacka, Ugly azz lil Wayne & ignorant azz Gucci Mane! Grown folks are diffinately not buying ur $hit with ur old azz getting *** naked just to sell records. Leave that sh!t to Mariah Carey!
I'm guessing the stripping down is supposed to be a metaphor for her baring her soul to the world. It's not like she's popping her coochie or spreading her buttcheeks in the video. In fact, compared to most of the videos put out by today's pop artists, it's pretty *** tame. (Hopefully, the ones making disparing comments aren't same ones who praised that Beyonce/GaGa turd of a video.) I think she's nuttier than a squirrel but I still love her music and will be getting her album on Tuesday.
People have to learn to listen to the message and stop focusing on the messenger.
Case in point: Noah (Noah's Ark) was an alcoholic. That is why nobody believed there would be a flood. "Aww, don't listen to him cuz he always drunk." I wonder how they felt when their arms got tired from swimming.
Call her what you want... But the message was on point. I appreciate hearing TRUTH. Some of ya'll up in here are comfortable living a lie. #imjustsayin
@***
I'm not playing this game with you today. Everything you do is tasteless. I never posted a picture of me with a drink in a ***. Yo stalkin @ss went to my twitter page so you could come up with ideas for your outfit tomorrow. You have nothing better to do but rant and rave about sh!t you don't understand. You to old to be on here anyway.... and on that note I'm done with you.
Ignorance will not be acknowledged.
@dagreat1 FIRST OF ALL,IM NOT A SILLY HO,SECOND YOU CALLED THE CHICK A GHETTO DALLAS HOODRAT BABY MOMMA,WHICH SHE ISNT.IF YOU HAVE A LAW FIRM,YOU REPRESENT YOURSELF AS A DOUCHEBAG GHETTO PERSON YOURSELF,UNPROFESSIONAL @ THAT.NO WONDER YOUR HIDING BEHIND A FAKE AVATAR TALKING SH!T ABOUT PPL FROM YOUR COMPUTER.
YES BIANCA THEY PROBABLY ARE EXTRAS, BUT IF NOT, SO WHAT! THE BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BODY IS WITHOUT SHAME. KIDS TODAY HAVE SEEN MORE THAN A NAKED BODY IN THE STREETS. SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST WAY TOO EAGER TO BASH THIS SISTA. WHAT THEY CAN DO IS SPARE US ALL THE NEGGATIVITY, AND LET THE SISTER EXPRESS HERSELF. THERES REAL CRIME OUT THERE FOR ALL YOU CRIMEFIGHTERS! MUCH LOVE ERYKAH
@Ezra_Yisrael1970: Thank you :) & my sn is angelaheirssnyc & I don't agree with the other woman getting ripped apart for her skin complexion but yeah,it would've been nice if she had been in shape,fixed her hair & took a little bit more pride in her appearance before she decided to take some pix especially if they were going to land on the internet...just saying lol
@dagreat1...I KNOW IT WAS REAL TIME...ERYKAH WOULD HAVE HAD TO COME UP OUT OF THE POCKETS TO PAY FOR ALL THOSE EXTRAS... @dagreat1...SO YOU GOT YOUR LAW DEGREE? I WANTED GOING TO FURTHER MY BS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE FOR A LAW DEGREE TO BECOME A LAYWER...COULDNT PASS THE LSAT..EVEN WITH THE HELP OF THOSE TUTORING BOOKS. dagreat1...ONE LAST QUESTION...DO ALL LAWYERS CURSE LIKE YOU DO? LOL JUST JOKING
Why are people trying to take up for Erykah being naked, but let Beyonce or Lady Gaga get naked and everybody wants to call them *** and classless. Naked is naked, I don't give a *** about the message. This is what artists do to sell records. They take clothes off. She could have still stripped away the outer layers of clothing and maybe just had some "plain Jane" clothes on underneath.
Flag post Blubabie.....
LOL..I bet youre a nice person...the problem with that is you need to learn how to disagree without being nastily disagreeable...if you want to co sign on Ms Badu's lifestyle...feel free...looking at your link...I can see you guys somewhat share the same values...when you decide to have kids if you dont already....if you feel that romping neaked in public is cool take your babies down to a nude beach and let them bask in the nakedness like its nothing wrong....thats your choice...I protect mine even from unrestrained individuality
....
Flag post Bianca....
yeah that was me addressing your irrelevant azz....one thing I cant stand is a *** liar..you know *** well you had a pic up of your baldheaded azz in a Detroit *** club with a drink in your hand chees'*** and then took it down when I mentioned it on another thread...now youre on here trying to act like a radical revolutionary visionary...you are one silly acting over opinionated blowhard that says alot of *** nothing....in the famous words of Lil John...HOE sit down!!
@*** “The problem with that is you need to learn how to disagree without being nastily disagreeable”? And you are one to talk. You have been calling me out of my name from the first comment I made about Obama and I WASN’T EVEN TALKING TO YOU! You come on here with yo groupie @ss callin women hoes, and hoodrats, and everything but a child of god. So who would take you seriously? Your stalking @ss thinks I took down a picture of me in GEORGIA because you THINK it gave your argument merit. I change my profile on twitter regularly. Stop stalking. The only liar here is you. You lie every time you wake up and look in the mirror. Yes boo… you are a sellout. You practice law? Now I understand why our judicial system is F#CKED UP! You think it’s okay to call people out of their names because you are a coward with low self esteem. Yo wife must have left yo whack @ss… your children, if you had any, must despise you. You are ***. Your mother should have swallowed you… matter of fact… she should have spit you out. Nastily disagreeable? You are the epitome of that. Grow up. You are too old to be acting like a child. Your weak @ss don’t want it with anybody in Detroit. B!thches like you don’t survive here.
@***
once again.. quit stalking me. D@mn! I wasn't talking to you when i made my comment on this subject today. just like i was never talking to you on the obama thread. you are irrelevant to me. your comments have no basis. you talk out of your @ss. for some reason you think you are the mto police. delusions of grandeur. with that being said... like i told you b4... die slow. you are at that age!
He wouldn't survive here because, like you, he is a coward and weak. You're jumping into an argument that started weeks ago. So what are you talkin about? You both are attention ***. I got a sneakin suspicion that you are jealous of me. Your welcome. You were acknowledged today. Now, go work on yourself so you can put your REAL picture up... kay :)
uuuuuuum I am going to have to look at this video in it's ENTIRETY so that I can see what meaning she was trying to signify. She has the body that's for sure and Erica is trying to send a message I am sure. I like her regardless. Something about her is so REAL. She's also physically a beautiful AFRICAN AMERICAN woman.
@socialstudies
I never said my city is the best because of the various reasons you named. Don't take my comments out of context for the sake of argument. My city is historical. I am proud of the rich heritage this city has. You wouldn't know anything about that. You speak from an ignorant (not knowing) place. And if you would have kept the "effin dummies" remark to yourself, you wouldn't have been disrespected. Practice what you preach. And you really should change your pic cuz she's the spokesperson for ghetto... Kay :)
YA'LL ARE SOME SILLY MOFO'S....OF COURSE THE PEOPLE IN HER VIDEO ARE PAID EXTRAS. THEY LOCKED THE STREETS DOWN. EVEN THE PEOPLE DRIVING BY ARE ALL PAID...DIMWITS...LOL
THAT ISH IS HOT & A GREAT MESSAGE, STOP HATIN'.
YA'LL DON'T TRIP ON OTHER ARTISTS POPPIN & SHAKIN & DROPPIN IT LOW IN THEIR VIDS...YEEESSSHHH
here's the thang..i get people disagreeing with or not understanding the nudity or subliminal message of her video. what i don't understand is the call to reject her as a positive indivdual because of past transgressions or situational *** that occured in her life that we don't have any details about. if that's the case mlk..who was *** brawds from sea 2 shining sea while married..should have never been taken seriously..or malcolm x who was *** white brawds, sniffin dope and robbin *** stealin..should never have been taken seriously..hell obama..with his cocaine sniffin azz..
(cont)should never be taken seriously..but all these men are serious people that have/had a positive message that influenced someone to do better..just like this sista here is a serious person who has the power to help empower someone even though she has made mistakes like all of us have. "One should examine oneself for a very long time before thinking of condemning others."(Moliere).
I respect and admire Erykah Badu so much. Some of yall fit the description of what she described at the end of the video. Quick to assasinate individuality. Want to stay in groups and to feel less guilt and MORE secure. Wake up and look around, everything was once an idea created by an individual (thinker). Like she said on twitter last ***, a lot of people are victims of GROUPTHINK.
Peace to the Gods & Earths Queen Divinity Reflected
And another thing. Its funny how the ignorant people caught onto the nudity rather than the true essence and message of the video. Erykah knew there would be 2 ways in which the video was received. For the closed-minded folk if you knew anything JFK was assasinated where that X was in Dallas Texas which is her hometown. People get assasinated/looked down upon for their beliefs, leadership, and customs. Hence her being assasinated for courageous nudity. Id rather be an outkast than a sheep anyday.
@ Dagreat1. Nudity is not indecent. Everybody has the same parts. America is one of the few places in the world that makes it such a big deal. Its not even that serious. America needs to stop being so uptight with that Puritanistic way of thinking. America *** near *** a brick when they saw Janet's nipple. I was like wtf, everybody's got nipples. Why are u so offended? We need to get over that silly ***. If Erykah was naked and fingering herself in the video, then I would call it indecent.
dagreat1..i agree..we don't have to have a monolitic mindset cuz we are from the same race. but my thing is..why can't a person be a positive influence although they made or are making mistakes in their personal life..after all..we all are a continuous work in progress..with the hope of evolving in a positive manner. i never met a perfect person yet..but i bet we all seen one that has come very close to it when we last looked in the mirror(lol).
dagreat1["Evolving??!!...into what a full blow HOE?? this broad at times I just dont get her...pro black pro black consciousness...at other times....typical Dallas ghetto babies mama...step your game up ma youre stripping *** naked in public with kids around....I understand the artistic meaning..but cmon ....I will say this in her defense...thats a juicy azz...if I ever saw one"]
LMBO @dagreat1.
@clarkthink FUTHERMORE ANYBODY CAN COME TO THIS ISTE TO SPEAK THEIR MIND,DOESNT MATTER WHAT RACE THEY ARE.YOU SO DUMB OBVIOUSLY.WHITE PPL VISIT THIS SITE ALSO..SO DONT EVEN GET IT TWISTED.YOUR NOT THE BOSS OF ME OR ANYBODY ELSE.*MY ANNOUCEMENT!!!*SO GET LAID AND STAY AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH LOSER!!!
MYMINDISNAAASTY blackbeautyanddiva
really...HOW DAT HAPPEN..I WANA BECOME A MILLIONAIRE TOO ***** he was attacked my two rottweiler grown dogs and they bit half of his ear off. his left pinky finger was damaged also. the dogs basically chewed off his finger and left wiht no nerves or tendons. his left finger and the left one will always be *** than the right...atleast they managed to save the finger and sew it back on, but he has no feelings. the owners had house insurance so we sued them and the city of oakland and WON BOTH CASES!
to the dagreat1
I am remaining steadfast with my point. Not once did I mention God and I got my point across. Don't people realize we don't have to be validated all the time by religion. You and Erykah are 2 different people. If she wants to express herself with nudity then so be it. Nudity never harmed anyone, I mean isn't that how we first became. And that's how we still wouldve been but Im not going to get into that. We all have bodies, sexual organs, etc. But she didnt use them sexually so whats the harm. Once again that was just a message to demonstrate a greater message.
There's women that pay top dollar on booty pads and surgery to try to get a *** like hers, and they can't. Go 'head Erykah, I ain't even mad atcha. I guaranteee there are men galore fantasizing about her right now, and that includes Commom (even though Serena's body is nice too). But Erykah is a league all her own, and I admire that. Kim ***, Beyonce, etc can't measure up to this, and this is after three babies. lol
I read a comment up top that asked if people were still "reppin'" Detroit. Ummmm if someone is from Detroit, where else should they represent? I'm from Detroit and represent my city everywhere and always, and it has nothing to do with the crime rate. I am happy with the person I've become and I know the city of Detroit (be it good or bad) made this woman, so yes I "rep" it.
@ JessyPooh313 I didn't mean to degrade your city, it's just that the latest statistics are overwhelming. I was making a point to someone that if your city is polluted with crime and poverty you should not be astatic about it. You know the ones that say yes I live in the murder capital, like that is an accomplishment.
clarkthink..jus go on an spray it..hurry up and get rid of that mofo.
tranny..are you serious..you live somewhere that they call coon bottoms..where the *** is that at..and do they call it that cuz thats where black folks live.
and what the *** happen here on mto..now i gotta type in all this security code ***!t just to post something.
Why is this chick removing her clothes in an area where children are present? The least they could have dome was told the crowd what to expect and have the parents be able to take their kids out of there. I would have been ***!
Anyway I get the old school feel by using celluloid to film this video and also she was better off not filming in HD because then you could really see all the stretchmarks and cellulite that is concealed by the low quality video they used.
And let me reinforce that I don't have a problem w/ the artistic message of the video and her nudity for it was not used in a sexual manner (only immature boys or perverts would find that to be sexual and could not appreciate the true meaning)
But i do have a problem w/ subjecting the children to it without parental consent. Yes I would have a problem w/ some random chick stripping in front of my daughter. I'm just saying, do what u do, just gimme a heads up first!
Erykah always had a body but *** I don't remember her but being that big. Yeah she looks nice tho. Natural body. Natural booty. Natural beauty. I can't complain. I don't fully understand of the message of the video. I s she saying that all the evolution and all the technology does not stop us from regression. Is she saying that everything comes back in full circle ( like life is a cycle).
@SOCIALSTUDIES I COME ON THIS SITE BECAUSE I CAN THATS WHY I COME ON IT LOL THAT WAS A STUPID QUESTION THATS LIKE ASKING Q:Y IS UR AVATAR FAKE A:BECAUSE YOU UGLY AS *** So see I ALSO COME ON THIS SITE SAME REASON YOU DO C WHAT STUPID *** STUPID PEOPLE ARE DOING PLAIN AN SIMPLE SO ya *** if u dont like it don't read my comments Ya dumb TRick @ss hoe or comment to them This is not HIGHSCHOOL how bout ya grow up *** thanks ( waves GOodbye)
MY QUESTION IS WHY ANY OF YOU BOTHER COMMENTING AND GOING BACK AND FORT WITH WHITEBOY?????? WHY?????? ALL HE DOES IS REPEAT HIMSELF WITH COMMENTS THAT HE APPARENTLY THINKS BOTHERS PEOPLE HERE. I SAW ANOTHER POST WHERE MORE THAN HALF OF THE COMMENTS WERE HIM AND HIS RESPONDERS. WHY BOTHER WITH TRASH..I MEAN REALLY. HE STATED THAT HE IS NOT RACIST (AS IF WE REALLY GIVE 2 ***) AND THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND IS BLACK..NOW AFTER READING THAT I WAS FINISHED..IF SHE REALLY IS SHE'S A LOW SELF ESTEEM INDIVIDUAL...SORTA LIKE THE BLACK GIRL ON THE TARA BANKS SHOW. STOP WASTING YOUR ENERGY ON TRASH PEOPLE.
As a PARENT, I wouldn't have a problem with this video if there weren't CHILDREN witnessing ERYKAH'S NUDITY. I also wouldn't be surprised if someone pressed charges against her FREE A$$. Different people see different messages. I am a fan of her music, but NOT of this video. Also, I happened to follow her on twitter today & SURPRISE!! She was discussing her video. NO ACTORS!! REAL "STRANGERS". (This is my opinion, & I stand firm.) ((There is nothing humorous about this, & I didn't love what I saw))
@blubabiecutie28..SWEETY PIE REALLY I don't CARE to know anything about you. However allowing a WHITE boy that you are romantically involved with to openly and constantly use the word *** which is offensive to some (NOT MYSELF AS I KNOW WHO AND WHAT I AM) speaks MULTITUDES ABOUT YOU....regardless of how you try and sugar coat it. What if you have kids...who will be mixed...What will that say to them. Don't you think PUBLICLY they will be demoralized enough? Honey it speaks VOLUMES about you both..maybe that weave glue is a bit to tight for you to RATIONALIZE...NEXT!!!!!!
message my a.ss who spreads a message by getting buck a.ss naked... I mean really.. most people won't even grasp the concept of what you doing with the big distraction that you got going on..and I dont want to hear that deep mess bcz you dont have to get naked to put out a "profound" message... sheesh
"Ive said this time and time before about Erykuh from a cat that knew her in Dallas before she hit big on the scene...that she was known to spread her legs indiscriminately back then too...nothing has changed....she just repacked herself under the black consciousness mantra"
Listen, Just cuz you use big words and *** you still a big ugly *** dummy- You aint heard ***..if you aint from here dont make wreckless comments like that...and you broke as hell didnt nobody ask you for a paradigm on E's life whats yours like??....Answer: that mofo you got on your profile pic!
DALLAS IS IN UPROAR! Morning news poll 89% want her arrested for: indecent exposure, public nudity, lack of permit to film & other charges. I know her family well and Coleen u should BEAT THAT GROWN AZZZZZ.Erica I am very disappointed in you and you are pregnant too.We in South Dallas deserve better than this. U are the talk of the day. By the end of this day I Bet you will be in jail. The wheat folks are pizzzed because of the location (Dealy Plaza)
this ain't no *** art. If it was art it would identify with the song. it does not. IMO it seems she wanted to display her body in a video...
if it was for art she would have done it in a private setting, and not for reaction from the public... does she even care about how her children's peers will react to her children?
everytime I change my opinion of Ms. Badu for the better, she does something else that tells me she is a big phoney
according to CNN.com ([link to external website removed] this was filmed WITHOUT extras, in one take, with no crew. As you can see from the video she is in full view of children and anyone else who happened to be out that morning.
I don't give a @#$% what kind of artist you are, or what kind of statement you're trying to make. Being naked only sends one message to men-***. So all you "artists" out their trying to be so unique and expressive, please find another way to do it, because public nudity is very traumatizing to children and for every 1 person you get your message out to, there are 10 people who only walked away with a *** and you may find 1 out there who does not know how to control his feelings and bad things can happen.
I agree with Otis, very bad idea for miss badu
@dagreat1 aka dahate1
I have developed a profile for you.what you lack in looks you make up for in books.Cause honestly where do you get the time to be on here answering posts like its your blog?lol
You constantly jack off & you are addicted to internet porn.
You have been dissed your whole life by women who look like E therefore you hate women...(possibly a closet ***)
You are *** and fat with big *** and every once in a while you smell like hamburgers and cat litter because of a propensity to slack off in hygeine from jacking off relentlessly all day.
RX-> A Badu Blow up Doll because you dont like real p*ssy!
@SHEMIA
Quit lying first of all its not "coleen' its "Kolleen" second of all Steph isnt their "real" cousin she just know the family and USED to keep her sister's kids...like alotta people. now moving right along you are.. *** a poll...E dont give a *** about a Class B misdemeanor ok and not only that, if you base your opinion on what the majority say you would have no opportunity to succeed cuz no whites in Dallas give a *** about your double minority ***! opinions are one thing stupidity and ignorance is another..
@DAHATING1 you are FOR the children and AGAINST E because you fondle children and they only have the right to see yo big ball azz naked. I left that out of your above profile I apologize Chester...
also @shemia
erykah is not pregnant see its that type *** coming from your own hometown at least I do know that Stephanie wldnt allow you to get on here with that shhh...Chill Out lil lady before I name drop on you with the fam...
@dahating1
She aint gotta pay no one to get on here to defend the city or her...but its mandatory you pay for a shrink..Im concerned chester
ERYKAH BEEN HIDING HER DONK.. I SEE!!!!
THATS NATURAL UNLIKE KIM KARDASHIAN
i get the message of the song and maybe the ppl were extras. but im a stright female and all i got say is hayyyy to ms badu for representing the real DONK club..lets give it up to her cause she has had 3 kids and still got a body with not gut..she wins biggest azz for singers for sure.
