Erykah Badu Strips For "Window Seat" Video

Erykah Badu has debuted the video for her latest singe, "Window Seat", which has stirred up much controversy on the web.

In the clip, Badu gradually sheds all of her clothing while walking down the street. The idea was inspired by Matt & Kim's video for "Lessons Learned". Yet Badu takes it the premise to a much more political, and head scratching, level.

The video was filmed in infamous Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, the site of John F. Kennedy's assassination in November of 1963. Once Badu has reveals all to the world, a gun shot rings out as blue blood spills from her head as she lays lifeless in the approximate era JFK met his fate.

All this talk about Badu comes at a good time though. Her latest album, New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh, hits stores everywhere tomorrow.

Watch both Badu's and the video it was inspired by below.
