On September 7 , 2000 , the video earned four VMA nominations at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards , which included MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year , Best Male Video , Best R&B Video , and Best Direction . In 2001 , the video was ranked number 44 on VH1 's list of the 100 Greatest Videos . The website UGO later selected it for its list of the Top 50 Sexiest Music Videos . The digital television MTV Base named " Untitled ( How Does It Feel ) " number 18 on its list of the Top 100 Greatest Music Videos Ever . In selecting the video for its list of the 100 Awesome Music Videos , Pitchfork Media staff reviewer Amy Phillips wrote of the music video , stating " Every time a man that fine gets naked on TV , we 're one step closer to world peace . " In 2018 , '' Billboard '' critics ranked it 3rd among the " greatest music videos of the 21st century . " The success of the video proved to contribute significantly to the album 's commercial performance , as '' Voodoo '' had initially struggled to gain single-oriented success prior to the video . The commercial impact of the video and its heavy rotation on music video networks , however , led to D'Angelo 's building image as a sex icon to a younger generation of music fans . Despite the publicity surrounding '' Voodoo '' being escalated by the video 's appeal , the appeal of the album was almost overshadowed , commercially , by the video . The video 's success also lead to mounting frustrations during the supporting tour for '' Voodoo '' , during which female fans and audience members would yell out for D'Angelo to take his clothes off on stage . Dominique Trenier , who served as D'Angelo 's manager from 1996 to 2005 , later explained his disappointment of the music video 's effect on D'Angelo , stating " to this day , in the general populace 's memory , he 's the naked dude "
