Erykah Badu went for a stripped-down approach for her new “Window Seat” video. Literally: As the standout tune from New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh (out tomorrow) plays, Ms. Badu walks through downtown Dallas gradually removing all of her clothing until she is 100 percent nude. If that sounds familiar, Badu credits that Matt & Kim video from last year for inspiration. No word on what role, if any, Alanis Morissette played.” [EW]

You can watch that new video at the end of this post which also contains pictures from the second of two secret-ish Less Artists More Condos-organized NYC shows that Erykah Badu performed at this weekend. The first show (Friday night) took place at Damon Dash’s open-when-it-wants-to-be basement space in Tribeca, Under 100. Class Actress, Grooms, and Skeletons were all also on the bill (video below). At the second, Saturday night, a very late Erykah (she left the crowd-that-got-smaller-and-smaller waiting for almost 2 hours), played with Spank Rock, MNDR, and Tony Castles at Good Units in midtown. Things didn’t go so well for Spank Rock (who played 2nd to last)…

“During the final song, Spank Rock rapped something along the lines of (and I am paraphrasing here so my head doesn’t get chewed off by Spank Rock die-hards), “wanting to fuck a white girl till my dick turns racist.” Needless to say, Spank Rock got booed off the stage, something I haven’t witnessed at a show in a very long time [editor: you weren’t at the Fader Fort for Salem then]. He even tried to worm his way into the front row next to these two ladies I was standing next to so he could watch Erykah Badu and the two women were clearly horrified as they quickly spread themselves out to ensure he would not be joining us.” [According to G]
