ARTISTIC EXPRESSION: The Floacist - Let Me (Official Video)



Initially I was taken aback by the, shall we say nekkedness....lol. But clearly this is not the same as that other chick from Barbados who shall remain nameless RHIANNA! The cliched saying "This is grown folks business" can easily be used in this case. She's not objectifying herself in the normal "VIDEO VIXEN" capacity. There's an artistic quality to real music. Yes some might say that the RHIANNA doesnt have anything else to rely on other than sex to sell records and subsequent image. Others might think she is God's gift to music. Museums are famous for images of the body in sculpture, portraiture, and photography. What's different here? I dont think "Umbrella" will be in any museum anywhere....or even considered artistic expression. I'm not a hater; if all you got is sex to sell, then sell it damnit. Just dont expect everyone to believe there is something deeper in terms of art, musicality or self expression. Just sayin'.
