@scootabean I'm also fascinated with him because he was so much more than someone struggling with addiction. He feels very relevant and 'of today' too. He could walk straight into 2023 and fit right in. He was sharp, sensitive, passionate, funny, and seemed extremely ambitious. He'd be on my list of people I'd want at that fictional dinner table.

His work is so uniquely him and that is what art can be.

Many don’t know, but he wasn’t respected nor accepted into the art culture because he was black. It wasn’t until he passed that the art world finally held his art to a high regard. So much so everyone started to buy his art because they knew it’d be worth millions

Please let JMB have and keep the legacy he created Jay Z....

I enjoyed this video a great deal from the info down to the music played in the background! However, I fail to understand, to recognize & to realize how you managed to mispronounce his name within the first few seconds of this video! I thank you for correcting the pronunciation afterwards!

Jay-Z has no business even connecting his name to Basquiat. Also, Basquiat, was not an Afro-American. He was Haitian and Puerto Rican.

You go from playing a heroine dealer on American Gangster album to portraying your someone who supposedly died from heroine; All because you earned enough money to buy one painting. Now you feel like he visits you in dreams as a rapper who has stole from other artists. 😂😂
