Erykah Badu bled the words “group think” in her
critically acclaimed (but nonetheless controversial) “Window Seat”
video, but that wasn’t the end of her journey. Badu recently shot a video for
the “Window Seat” remix with Rick Ross.

“I had to come get the queen,” Ross said about the
video. “They had her boxed up.” The clip starts with Ross coming to
get the Grammy-winning songstress from jail. “It was only right. I was
swerving through Dallas in that Porsche Panorama turbo. I had to slide up on
her, scoop her up. We got back to business. We went on another caper.

“It’s basically, we continuing where the first ‘Window Seat’
ended,” he added. “Where she was assassinated and ultimately scooped
up and arrested. We continuing from there. She’s got a dope cut on her album
called ‘Get Money.’ Y’all need to download and check it out. It’s the next
single. And it’s the bridge between the assassination, going into the ‘Window
Seat’ remix, me doing my sh–. Then we ultimately going into ‘Get Money,’ which
I feel is my favorite record off of [New Amerykah Part Two: Return of] the
Ankh.”

Like she did in the original video, Badu came up with the concept
and directed it with Creative Control as the cinematographers.

“She most definitely is a super talented individual,”
Ross said. “Of course she’s extremely beautiful. It’s hard to look into
her eyes for too long. She’s so sweet. Just to see her creativity. She also directed
the video along with her team. To see her vision, just to see her work ethic.
She’s like me. We filming to the wee hours. It’s real big. She’s the definition
of a strong woman. I’m proud for her to be a strong black woman, just to see
her so hands-on with her career. From the producing of her music to the writing
of her music. The entire process of her writing her entire album all the way
down to directing her videos and editing. For me to be sitting here while she’s
[filming the video], doing what she’s doing, the singing. And she’s also
checking the angles. It was like, ‘Wow.’ I never knew that. I knew she was
super talented and so hands-on and in charge of her entire project. She gets
the ultimate boss look.” (Via MTV News)
