A music video released by the R&B artist Erykah Badu for the song 'Honey' from her 2008 album "New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)". The theory of the music video was to pay homage to the classic albums of legendary R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop, and pop albums which influenced Badu's musical styles. The music video trails an unidentified music aficionado as they peruse vintage albums in an antique Mom-and-Pop record shop, giving special attention to the following album covers which were replaced with Badu superimposed over the iconic artwork: (1) "Rufus featuring Chaka Khan (1975)", by Rufus; (2) "Blue (2006)", by Diana Ross; (3) "Maggot Brain (1971)", by Funkadelic; (4) "Paid in Full (1987)", by Eric B. & Rakim; (5) "Honey (1975)", by Ohio Players; (6) "Perfect Angel (1975)", by Minnie Riperton; (7) "Chameleon (1976)", by LaBelle; (8) "3 Feet High and Rising (1989)", by De La Soul; (9) "Let It Be (1970)", by The Beatles; (10) "Illmatic (1994)", by Nas; (11) "Physical (1981)", by Olivia Newton-John; (12) "Nightclubbing (1981)", by Grace Jones; (13) "Head to the Sky (1973)", by Earth Wind & Fire.
