Honey

Whether you love or hate the song, you can’t deny that the video for Erykah Badu’s “Honey” is one of the most original to come out in a minute. Just for kicks I decided to track down the original covers for all of the albums she mimicked just to see how well they matched up, and E.Badu’s team did a damn good job. Check out Erykah’s versions versus the real cover art below.
