Here we go. It’s important to remember that controversial promotion often comes with a price.
Ida Espinosa plans to file a criminal complaint against against Erykah Badu after discovering her daughter was in downtown Dallas, Texas the day the R&B singer filmed the video for her latest single Window Seat. As we’ve all seen by now, Badu strips down to her birthday suit (which included a surprise ass, almost none of us saw coming), a scene inspired by Brooklyn’s Matt and Kim’s Lessons Learned video. It ends with Badu being shot, a metaphor, the video was filmed on Elm Street where JFK was assassinated in 1963. Espinosa wants an apology from Badu and for her to possibly pay a fine for her brief display of nudity.
This video was an audacious move for Erykah who risked a year in prison to film it. I have a feeling there’ll be lots more where this came from, but the YouTube hits keep climbing and these units keep moving….
I’m assuming this remained unreleased for so long because of its unapologetic use of the word ‘cracker’. All praise to the innanets for its liberation.
This video is like an ode to James Brown’s iconic dancing style, but with a modern, futuristic twist. Epic dopeness, not that I’d expect anything less from Ms. Monae. Off her upcoming album The ArchAndroid dropping May 18th.
Poor kid. All he wanted to do was twerk, and here comes Daddy squashing dreams and shit. Somebody get this toddler his glitter, leotard and lacefront - he wants to move!
Hijacked this from 2DB who snagged it from HighSnobiety because I think it’s friggin’ awesome! Infamous 90s mascot Flat Eric appears in a new short video produced by French music producer Mr. Oizo. Pharrell Williams also once again shows his acting skills in the video.
…don’t sit his media whoring self down! I swear reason #1 why Lindsay is a hot ass mess is spelled D-A-D-D-Y.
Father of the Year, Michael Lohan held a press conference yesterday in a supposed effort to get his troubled daughter back to rehab. As usual, it turned into a platform for him to chastise ex-wife Dina and defend his questionable actions.
Lohan recently suffered a heart attack, and just when I was beginning to think that might derail his prickish ways, here we go again… he’s like a bad cold. I simply cannot with him, you mean to tell me he can’t contact his daughter via telephone, text messages (they work for Tiger) or shit, even smoke signals? He HAS to call a press conference every time he wants to “reach out” to Lindsay? Does a media restraining order exist? We need to get one for his ass asap! Rant over.
The ladywhose ass put most of these video chicks to shame sits down with Fader Mag to discuss her new album New Amerykah Part 2: Return of the Ankh which dropped today (and is amazing, by the way), her dreams and how she and Bjork are saving up enough money to buy a hovercraft to return to their planet. Yeah… she says things like that, and it’s the reason I love her.
I just love to see the geriatrics trying to twerk that thang, word to Betty White. This is off MGMT’s upcoming album “Congratulations” which drops April 13th.
I watched the teeny bopper’s “Diary” on MTV in awe the other day. His fans are hinging on Backstreet stan status back when boy bands were all the rage, remember that? The Canadian cutie pie released his new video today which was filmed at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. This is off his My World 2.0 album, in stores now.
Is that a little swirl action I see taking place? In about three years, holla at me Justin Bieber!
