We love the alternate universe where Ms. Badu lives, breathes, creates and INSPIRES. She makes music that’s funky and memorable, not to mention she says whatever comes to her cranium (Danger, Tyrone, etc). RESPECT. But most of all, Badu’s got SWAG for days. Check the above shot from a recent King Magazine photoshoot, where Badu looks like a multi-colored popsicle that we wouldn’t mind licking! (Is that OK?) The finger-rings remind us of the Funky Fly Crew we shot a little while ago, and the hats make Dr. Seuss look like a trendsetter. Damn, Badu is BAD! -sP
