SHD_ OptifY because she said so. She pulled up, started to walk, and stripped. It was all done in one take. She didn’t get arrested but when they were done they had to make a quick exit obviously before they were caught. This was filmed in the place where JFK was killed.

[@Hiighlotus]

For it to be unplanned, I never realized how poetic this is. In the beginning when she begins to strip, the guy in red picks up her jacket and shoes as if he’s about to return her things. But then stops running towards badu when he notices her walking away without looking back and continuing to strip..maybe symbolizng how the people around us try to bring back the old parts of us that we desperately desire to shed. Badu hesitates to jog and unzips her second layer/jacket before finally committing. She continues her journey as she removes more clothes, receiving more stares and confused looks. She ends in a more populated area but perhaps a healthier internal environment, free and liberated. For that, she is persecuted by those around her as she sheds her last layer. I was about 9 when this video came out and everyone talked about it. I didn’t understand the controversy and now I do. However, it’s art and was way ahead of it’s time

[@Browngerl]

If i remember, she said her jogging was because they were trying to avoid the passing cop cars and get it done in one take as quickly as possible.

Truly great artist. She has no barriers between her soul and her art.

[@bloodofchristjesuscoversme1878]

This video really had me in deep thought. It shows Badu walking at the site of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963. The purpose was to “to awaken interest in a 1950s term called ‘groupthink’ in which a person is afraid to express themselves for fear of being ostracized by the wider public.” The spoken word piece at the end of the vid confirms this argument. "They play it safe, are quick to assassinate what they do not understand. They move in packs, ingesting more and more fear with every act of hate on one another, They feel most comfortable in groups: less guilt to swallow. They are us this is what we have become, afraid to respect the individual. A single person or event or circumstance can move one to change: To love herself. To evolve." I admire how this vid represents artistic, social, and political expression.

What I got from this was an idea that I think she managed to clarify in the end, and that was that as a society, we tend to suffocate and even kill those that dare to be different.. the ones who actually have the guts to strip themselves of the layers of all the bullshit that we forcibly put on ourselves... these layers that cover up who we truly are, who we are suppose to be (hence the stripping off all that clothing she was wearing). The moment someone comes out of the light and dares to be different, they're shot down by societal oppressors, by them, which inevitably is everyone around us who succumbs to the pressures of society.

Yes and she had just had a baby previous to shooting this video! I remember when it first came out and how she was explaining her feelings on Twitter such a moment but much needed message

[@CandiOsama]

I was so ahead of my time loving this song at such a young age

[@daletroncasablancas7870]

SHE WAS BEFORE HER TIME

[@richardlewis5053]

she is before her time

[@sanchez73day36]

no she was born in the time she was conceived just she studied and learned her truth and was awakened. unlike most black people we are lost. she found her truth and purpose. doesn't matter when you were born. you have to seek the truth because it was withheld from us. and you will be awaken eyes wide open.

Kim Pettus still is

[@MrJacksonvill]

is that all that we see,is a beautiful Ass . Did anyone actually recieve the message she was beaming besides her precious shell. I mean she went to a place in the spot where John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Her message was about not being afraid to evolve. Hopefully you all get around the ass factor. That was really courageous of her to exhibit such an act of carelessness on her part. It could have went left for her out there in Dallas. She did it for herself and for us. Evolve everybody,be courageous. Shed the old feathers,grow some new ones. Thank you Erykah.

That's a STUPID question . What you can't multitask ?

She said she was suppose to be singing in the video but she was to scared but it's actually better that she wasn't singing and you just feel the video and message.

[@jamesdubose1461]

Kamisha Harris nice video

[@melanatedgoddess7743]

This part really feeds my soul how she just opened up and became a free spirit without not worrying about what nobody thought or said. And then with evolving across her back ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I saw that😊

[@sovereignentity.6425]

Ah, Erykah! Thank you for your consciousness, for shining your light upon us! Your words describe the exact state we have created on our beautiful Planet. We need to wake up and realise, in the words of Seth, "The sacredness of live cannot be sacrificed for life's convenience, or the quality of life itself will suffer".

I'M SO THANKFUL THAT GOD LET ME MEET HIM; I WOULDN'T TRADE THE TIME WE HAD TOGETHER, FOR ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD. GOD BLESS ALL CHILDREN, EVERYWHERE! BEVERLY MOSES

[@atoppjr2K]

One of the best to ever do it. One of my favorites. The Queen, Erykah Badu

[@dimitri.l.clark.5132]

Do what?

[@thutomkatshane4449]

Erykah Badu was woke. Before the word 'woke' became a thing on social media.

[@johnnyd2682]

Now we say awake when we mean woke and woke when we mean dumbass 😂

[@TeamDynamiteTV]

Before it sold out. Before it became a lucrative career.

[@umisuzu92]

And still is!, she ain't dead, you know?

[@amadizulu3099]

She has knowledge of self. She's a 5 percenter, she been dropping jewels

[@tommygunn9811]

She was already in the awakening when the rest of us was just opening out eyes.

[@quintindabneyjr4959]

I never get tired of having Badu in my musical diet... much needed, always a breath of fresh air. And this is some of her later projects.. from baduizm to now... She keep on keeping on..

[@vmlksm9]

Musical diet...like that

[@jencarrasco7023]

Her music envelopes you, she is amazing is beyond than the material, it's spiritual and soulful

[@Ecrowder51]

Erykah Badu understood that President Kennedy was a Blue Blood who went against his own for the better treatment of mankind and was executed for it. Some of our artist are more conscious than we give them credit for.

[@risscaybaby13]

+lamborghini_ Mercy wow

[@yudahel8521]

oh baby Erykah been konscious and positive since forever, nothing new

[@Ocyris151]

+Ernest crowder I agree with the small exception that she has performed for despots who commit horrendous acts of genocide and oppression.

[@Ecrowder51]

***** She is aware of these people and what they can do if she does not perform. They are the same people who issue contracts in the music and film industry,

[@rushipatel8785]

+Ernest crowder agree

[@zegna666]

It had to take so much courage to do this. We live in a society where nudity is seen only as something sexual, when it fact nudity can have many levels and meanings - being nude or naked in front of people can also mean shedding your fears, shedding all the social norms and rules and brainwash, shedding trauma... Too bad so many people missed the point of this :) Will forever love this song and video and the meaning it carries! Especially the quote at the end.

[@lanneymonteiro]

Exactly 🤍

[@Gestureye7x]

One of my favorite JAMS and what a message! Thank You Erykah!

[@ninodean8099]

Damn after all these years her voice still do something to me. So beautiful

[@jan-bean]

This song has so many good memories for me. Loved Erykah since I was 14. Listened to this song riding in the school bus on choir trips. Listened to it driving my car 80 mph late at night on empty pacific highways in my hometown when I was 18. Then now, at 21, listening to it as I drive home in the big city from my job. I’m sure this will be on repeat in all my life phases..

[@gracens5548]

I always find myself making my way back around to the door of her music again and again...1st as a teen and now 40 this year...always always singing it out Loud!

[@traacijenkins345]

Always did. I new she had a nice shape and beautiful facial features just cause I know a good looking woman from a mile away. Everyone else just now catching on only because she stippped down. If she never did this video most still would not be saying a word about how she looks.
