UPDATE: SHIT! the video has been removed from Youtube and all the other video hosting sites but it is still on Erykah Badu’s site! Go check it out and click on the Ankh. Then come back and leave come comments. I’ve been seeing a lot of varying opinions on this video good and bad. What do you guys think? New Amerykah Pt. 2 is out now!

I don’t know…I have mixed opinions on the video. Regardless, I will say that the video is not something I expected. Then again, Badu’s work was always pretty unique, so I shouldn’t have been surprised. I’m not quite sure what her message was and I’m not sure why the video was located by the Kennedy assassination site either. I’m probably wrong but I think she’s hitting on the ideas of conformity and going against the norm…a huge reason I think that is because of how different the video is in general. Also, in the end, she “bleeds” out Janis’s term groupthink which pretty much goes along the same lines of conformity/decision making/etc….
