Little did we know that while we were dressing up Erykah Badu, she was dressing down...to nothing. In her new, already controversial video, "Window Seat," Erykah does her take on last year's MTV Breakthrough Video winner, Matt and Kim's "Lessons Learned." In Erykah's version, she strips down to nothing while walking the path to Dealey Plaza, where JFK was assassinated. Without spoiling it for those who have yet to see the video, it can be known that her message of individualism is heard loud and clear by the end.

Through the 14 years of her career, Erykah continues to lure us with her individual style, and unmatched musical expressions. In support of her sixth album, New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh, (out today!!) she took over New York this week with a string of appearances and secret performances. Thankfully, I was able to catch one of them. Check out some favorite moments, and a few of the memorable looks she's featured!
