Top 5 Times Erykah Badu Proved She’s Cooler Than Everyone Else

5. SHE’S THE COMEBACK QUEEN

She unearthed herself from her “Rimshot” era relevancy coffin and is all of a sudden, out of nowhere, all over the blogs, doing interviews, hosting  shows, and releasing killer mix-tapes on Thanksgiving weekend that were so sought after, they managed to break iTunes for nearly a day. Rise, queen! Rise!

 

4. SHE’LL MAKE YA PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

She did Drake better than Drake with her spin on his earworm single “Hotline  Bling,” “Hotline Bling But You Caint Use My Phone.”

 

3. FASHION FOR DAYS

So many great hats. So many great glasses. Only Badu could pull of the whole “eyeglasses up to your hairline” look.

 

2. SHE BELIEVES IN STICKING UP FOR YOURSELF

This quote she has pinned to the top of her personal Twitter account says it all: “Look… I choose peace but, say… Don’t walk up on me wrong… This Tea and Incense can turn into Colt 45 and Newports if NEED be… OK?”

 

1. SHE WILL FIGHT YOU ON TWITTER AND STEAL YOUR MAN

In recent months a “fan” made the mistake of engaging in a Twitter battle  with Badu and Erykah slid into her PMs to threaten to take her man. She could do it too. She’s not messing around.
