Erykah Badu Window Seat Spoof by @SpokenReasons

On Wednesday, March 31, Erykah Badu released her video Window Seat and The Future posted the hit single's video.

However, the next day Erykah’s major record label Motown Records pulled all the videos posted on youtube and other players.

The kid @SpokenReasons redid Erykah’s video for Window Seat and I think I almost died watching this video. Hilarity at it’s finest. In the video you can see the comedian Spoken Reasons walking through what looks like a college campus taking off his clothes. He has on like 100 shirts and he's thinner than JJ Evans. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the girl in the back picking up the clothes. OMG!!!


Check out the video and the twist at the end. It’s the best thing on the internet right now.

Erykah Badu’s Window Seat Video Uncut

Posted by Angela Wu

If you think Lady Gaga’s and Madonna’s music videos are controversial and shocking, then Erykah Badu’s newly released Window Seat video uncut will blow your mind. Badu’s most recent music video came out on March 28,2010, and already, it’s stirred up chatter and questions of all different kinds.

In her music video, Badu walks down a bustling street as she strips down to nothing; and the street she’s walking along also happens to be the very street in Dallas where JFK was shot. As if walking naked in public isn’t controversial and outrageous enough, doing so at such a monumental place is making people go crazy, and she might even be faced with criminal charges.

Erykah Badu has been an icon for many music lovers since early 1997. She exudes a style of hip-hop, R&B, and jazz that coalesces in a way that touches and moves people, not only through melodic rhythms, but also through her powerful lyricism. Her debut album Baduizm reached #2 on the Billboard Charts in ‘97, with her lead single
On & On holding the 12th spot on the singles chart in both the US and the UK. Some of her other acclaimed singles include You Got Me co-written with Jill Scott, Bag Lady which was nominated for a Grammy, and Love Of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop) with past-lover Common, which won Badu her fourth Grammy in 2003.

Badu’s Window Seat lyrics are just as powerful as the impromptu music video is itself. At the end of the video, when she’s already naked and exhibiting her numerous tattoos, there is the sound of a gun shot as she falls to the ground, and the narration reads–

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 within our circumstance can move one to change, to love ourself, to evolve. - We are QUICK to assassinate, what they don't understand.

Take a look at this revolutionary video and tell us how you feel.

Lash Out with Ja'Maal Buster!!!

Eyelash Guru Ja'Maal Buster's new line makes going glam easy - and affordable
By Lisa Petty

NBC Dallas, TX


“My life revolves around lashes!”

We first met
Ja’Maal Buster years ago when he was getting his start here in Dallas. Back then, a steady stream of our city’s most fashionable women would line up each day to receive a set of his flawless false lashes. Today, the story’s much the same for this busy stylist, except home base is now Beverly Hills and his clients are among the most famous faces in the world.

On any given day, you might find this “Eyelash Guru to the Stars” in New York,
Miami, Paris or Dubai – anywhere a glamorous party, award show or special event requires the glitterati to look their very best. For example, BeyoncĂ© wore Ja’Maal’s lashes each night on her most recent tour. Martha Stewart also often wears a pair when filming her television show, and Rihanna rocks ‘em every single day (rain or shine). A small but crucial beauty detail, the impact of a great set of lashes can’t be underestimated. Unfortunately, though, many women are intimidated by the application process. And let’s be honest – we can’t all call a celebrity Guru when we’re getting ready for a night on the town.

But now, great lashes are right at our fingertips.

Enter Ja’Maal’s
new line of affordable at-home lashes, ideal for regular girls who like a little touch of glam. “Each lash in my line has a name, has a meaning,” he explains, pointing out favorites like the Trophy Wife, the Gold Digger and the Little Black Lash. Each fits a certain style and personality, from flirtatious to outrageous and everything in between. The best part? They’re only $10 per pair, and with Ja’Maal’s Placement Tool (only $10 as well), application is also a breeze. So, between making the rich and famous even more fabulous and developing his own line of lashes, we had to wonder whether our old friend Ja’Maal missed Big D (‘cause we sure do miss him). The answer? “I do miss Dallas. That’s where I got my start…my stories from there are very close to my heart.”

What a sweetie. You can check out Ja’Maal’s new lash line at
www.jamaalbuster.com. We’re partial to the Madison Avenue…but we might feel like Glow in the Dark come Saturday night. You never know. GO YOU... Lil Mogul!!!
