Both of em are legendary but i got to go with badu. Can't knock Janet but badu is a black mans ultimate dream. Her spirit, her vibe and her overall downness. And that doesn't even include that intergalactic space age pussy that she is supposedly sitting on. Janet has been on certified grade a status for decades but she is on some Hollywood plastic fake ass nose type of shit.
Badu is texas as hell and grambling to the core. She the type of the chick to go visit random people in jail to lift their spirits, sew up a tear in a little kids clothes, cook some collard greens mac and chesse roasted chicken and corn bread, record a hit song and donate the proceeds to the Emanuel 9, do some jasmine cashmere shit in the bedroom, do some yoga, burn some incense and send a brother to sleep feeling like a combination of shaka zulu, iceberg slim and marvin gaye all in the same day. Aint too many chicks out there fucking with erykah. Badu>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
