Video under the spoiler tag (NSFW).

There's something about this song and video that really hooks me on an intuitive fundamental and emotional level. I feel like there is something profound here, either deliberately hidden or accidentally stumbled into. Something about the dangers of objectifying women, mixing love with objectification, and the transformation of love into something else (something dark?) once objectification is applied (notice in the video how the beautiful stripper faces change subtly after a moment into something hideous). I'm curious what other people interpret from this, especially particular details. There's a bit of talk online about it being about the transformation of the Black Woman from primal times to contemporary times, but something about it seems deeper than that- like it's saying something about all women. Thoughts & impressions?
