"Big Homie wanna look like a gay painter" Is all I heard 🤣🤣
Then go take your meds lil man
Lmmfao 🤣🤣🤣Shoutout to 50!
Hahahahaah me too
Tht quote make me look him up... Boom all I can see is Jay as a copy
That man was brilliant
People didn’t just start learning about JMB because of JayZ. This man has been an international star since the 80s.
At this point, just go back and read the comments..🙄
@@historicaloracles lol he obviously didn't watch the video 😂😂😂
@@mirandamvok7711 right..😂😂😂💯💯
Tell that to people who literally came here because of Jay. Or stay delusional, cause that's your second option
They tried to wrote him out of modern history. Jay-Z single handedly resurged his art and more importantly his story.
He's correct.
He was Haitian and his mother from Puerto RICO. HE HAS 2 sisters. He was born in Brooklyn . He broke into the art world which was mostly white at that time, it made him self conscious . His best friend Al was PR and they were in a band called Grey. They played CBGB and the Mud club.He was hit by a car when he was seven, his mother gave him the book Greys Anatomy, which is why he named his band Grey and also used skeletal figures in his paintings. He is part of the 27 club of artists who died at that age.
Yea unfortunately he is part of the 27 club
You gave good info, but wrote this in such a manic, non-linear way
@@jonnicholas4719drug addiction got
Thank you for sharing
Did he die because of AIDS?
I’m just here after 50 cent 😂
And us successful people are here for a dollar..
😂😂😂
His art reflects the images many draw after mind alternating programming which started in the early 1900s..
Lol ahlie he was a broke gay painter never had fame. His art blew up way after he died. This guy all cap
😂😂
Samo has been an international star since the eighties. He is true artists artist. Anybody who didn’t know who basquiat was until Jay z still doesn’t know who Jean michel was
There are people who still don’t know who he is but will learn sometime in the future.. Will those people not know him also??
@@historicaloraclesapparently if you don’t know a person/movement from day one, you’re just a dick rider 🤷🏾♀️ I don’t make the rules
Well said.
His art is Garbage, gay white men made it famous 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅in 😅
@@historicaloracles na he’s right and your wrong
I had never heard of Basquiat until a few days ago, but after looking at his paintings and what he inspired in this generation. You can't deny his impact and greatness. Thank you for more info🙌
Yeah he was truly groundbreaking..💯💯
Say what?
Back up

No innovó nada, no inspiró a nadie, no dejó ningún mensaje. Un farsante total, y usado para agrandar la farsa del arte contemporáneo que vende obras sin valor alguno, solo para meter dinero en los bolsillos de especuladores del arte.
@@elpaisaeselrey5700stop talking about yourself
First time I heard about Basquiat was back in the 90s when his biopic movie came out. Dude left a remarkable legacy, his art, graffiti, even his style every hipster you see in Brooklyn is inspired by him one way or another.
Also I highly recommend watching the movie, it's such a trip
I saw the movie too!! Honestly, I think it’s time for another movie with a big budget..
@@historicaloracles 😅😅😅😅😊❤
yes hipsters love the bills biden wrote
@@historicaloracles I hope you wake up, i dont know why so many of you keep the enemy alive willingly
The Culture hates hipsters
Also numerous from the Culture and era are around
I've been a fan of him for decades. There's not many graffiti artists who don't know who he is! The east has Jean, and the west has Frida!
Long live street art.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
😂😂😂 it's crazy how all the expensive paintings look like something you would see in a elementary art class
It's about the collection...grow up.
Don’t hate. They are good. Look at a Picasso, you could say the same thing. It’s in the eye of the beholder.
He’s right. This is no Picasso
All you need is a billionaire suga daddy to back you!!!
@@michellethechosen1629bro how you gonna say that when it honestly looks like some shit some dumb teenagers would put on a train car or an abandoned building
Meanwhile there’s graffiti artist that get paid to get put nice looking art on big places in city’s
How about you grow up
I learned about him early because as a graff writer I was a sponge to anything coming outta NY.
Jeffrey Wright played him in a good biopic...
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
What name of his biopic
What's the name of the film?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basquiat_(film)
Went to an exhibition today in Switzerland, all the Modena Basquiat paintings. Really beautiful
😱😱😱
Jay Z tryna to steal everything about the man per usual
That’s a bit dramatic..
He's literally keeping his name alive. A lot of people wouldn't know about him without Jay. I'm sure his estate loves it.
@@chethighsmith8958 💯💯💯
@@historicaloracles his people don’t seem to pleased with his efforts!
Jay Z isn't a real talent like Basquet.
If you want to learn something fascinating... study this guy. Basquiat was and is still considered a ground-breaking artist in the neo-expressionism art movement. A young black artist, his artwork dealt with themes of racism, classism, colonialism, and other power structures and their effects on U.S. society.
But people will swear that he just trying to be a victim and racism doesn't exist smh
"Your Big Homie wanna look like a gay painter" 50 cent 😂
Jay-Z Got them Diddy Vibes
He was screwed over by Warhola and others. He is pure genius ❤
Warhol screwed him fiscally AND Physical 😂
I’ve been studying Basquiat for a while. Got chills watching this!❤
Thank you so much for watching!! I’m super happy that you liked it!!!
Just saw the interview with his sisters last night help keeping his legacy alive through showcasing his artwork regularly in museum showings his work phenomenal ❤
💯💯🙌🏾🙌🏾 go see it if you can!!
Exactly his sister's NOT a mid rapper
If basquiat was alive today he’d hate jay z
Based on what?? You do know he made money and was the toast of high society..??
@@historicaloracleshe didnt.and wasnt. He slept on friends couches but was invited to everything becauss he was friends with the most prolific artist of that day.he regularly did not sell his paintings he gave them away free to randos on the street,which post death made some rich,those who were true fans gave that art back to his family.those paying 100s of millions today are not the people he created art for.
Jay z would of had him killed and then own and sell all the art in that form under his own name... z dirty like that.
@@montelturner2259I bet you any amount of money jay has a couple of his paintings in his crib as we speak. I mean come on he even has the same laugh as the man! What didn’t jay take from this cat? SMH wicked
No, he'd ask him if he would like some brown sugar.
There’s a great movie about his life. It’s just called Basquiat. It’s amazing.’

Jean-Michels work is worth millions now .

Pray for Haiti 🙏
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
😂😂😂😂
Whats happening in Haiti??
@@Baeskin whats funny?
🙌🙌🙌🙌
He had an exhibit in Manhattan New York a few years ago, I took my first flight to go see it, it was hella dope I really enjoyed myself. ❤
I attended one many years ago in new york as well. Small gift shop off the main entry..I recall windows and open area on the 1st floor
Also at the Brooklyn museum.
My favorite artist of all time ☺️
🤞🏾💯👑
Not my most favorite, but I do really dig him. I can also respect tour point of view though. For me it's either Dali, or Escher
Jean Michel Basquiat is one the most, if not the most prolific artist of all time. He completed thousands of drawings and paintings. Sad he left so early. Rest in Power💪🏾
💯💯💯💯
50cent is somewhere SMILING right NOW!🤣🤣🤣
This just goes to show that you can paint any kind of grade school looking painting and if some popular figure gets behind your art after your death, it can all of a sudden be worth millions.
True I've been to alot of museums and most of the sculpture is junk and paintings are like kindergarten pics your mom hung on the fridge
HE WAS DOPE ! You gotta see Basquiat the movie from 1996. Jeffrey Rush did a phenomenal job as Jean Michel. Down to the walk, the mannerisms, to the sweetness of his soul.
I saw it..!!! He did an awesome job.. I was actually just saying also that I think it’s time for a new movie..💯💯
The Phenomenon Mr. Jeffrey Wright Played Jean Michele Basquiat In The 1996 Bio Pic. Everybody Needs Watch, "Radiant Child" & "Boom For Real" The Man Was/IS a Genius!❤
No stop making movies about shit we grew up with @@historicaloracles
Jeffery Rush? As in the Jeffery Rush from the Piratea of the Caribbean movies. No it's Jeffery Wright.
He's been my favorite since I was a kid I've known about his artwork and his drawings and his history when I started studying the Disco era when I was around 10 years old
❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾
I appreciate you explaining why this artist work is so sought after. Never understood the meaning behind his art so thanks to you now I know and I also learned a new word…..”dichotomy”! Wish we all could humble ourselves enough to learn form each other, just Imagine how better off we all could be in this world. 🧠+💚= 🕊️🌍😉
GO JOE!!!!
Basquiat era tão nato , exato , necessário , a frente do seu tempo , ele dissecou a si mesmo e falou muito de si , da sua geração , um olhar que vejo e revejo pois fala muito ; puro demais para aquela geração ; esteja em paz Basquiat.
He stood up for whats right
💯💯
How do artists get rich when it looks like my nephews grade 3 painting.
It's all who you meet.
🫢🤔the paintings look odd to me too.
the tortured soul persona and a good story
I was just thinking when I did some shit like that I was laughed at and watched my shit threw away he do it and it sell for $100-$250k plus… damn should of been more happy 😉 😉
Most older ppl are grown children and beauty is in the eye of the beholder,,, so yea u right...
I went to see an exhibit of his work back in 2017. Was a great exhibition.
Oh wow!! Where was the exhibit??
I usually don't envy people... but this.
@@historicaloracles The exhibition was clalled Boom For Real at the barbican centre in London.
It was a lot of unseen work along with a video of an intwrview with him. It was focused on his late teenage years.
Yeah, it was a really great exhibition.
Hey y’all I’m just a white southern hick from Kentucky but I followed Jane-Michels art from the time I was in middle school (a few years after his death) and his work inspired me then and I’m still inspired by him today.
Jayz plugged him a few times...lol pure diddy
The genius.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Everything, including taking that wood😂😅😂
He was a dope fiend too.
Smgdh. It's such a goddamn shame how meatheads like 50¢ reduce Basquiat's legacy to what he did in his bedroom, when all the firsts he was able to achieve as a Black man in an exclusionary 80s art world should be the focus of conversation. Plus, he wasn't gay, he was bisexual (he dated Madonna, for Pete's sake)---not that it even matters if he was gay or bisexual; I just mention this to say at least get your information right if you're going to bring up his sexuality at all, instead of just mindlessly regurgitating what some famous homophobic rapper excretes from his mouth sphincter.
@@mauricehooks320 It figures
50 called it Big Homie wants to look like a gay painter 😂😂😂
But he was gay
Congratulations young man thank you so much for sharing this video.
Thank you so much for watching..💯💯
He was a angel in living form
🤞🏾💯
Jay want to be him even dreaded his hair like him
Then he wants to be gay too
Indeed
He looks like Kid Cudi with J Coles hair. I’m sure Cole got the style from Basquiat but he does look a lot like Cudi
😂😂😂😂 him & Cudi def look alike..
No, stop attaching how we grew up to them
Damn you saying Cole is gay too?
Dat boi flammin 🫤
He was so misunderstood man def one of the greatest
💯💯💯
A true artist who loved his craft and made the art scene even better gobally.
Madonna was with Him
She was..💯
Yes, and she really loved him, just not his drug use, she may still have some paintings he gave her, though when they broke up I think he tried to ask for them back.
J-M Basquiat sold his first painting for $200 to Debbie Harry (front woman, Blondie).
💯💯💯
@@historicaloracles I landed in nyc in ‘73, a year after hi-school. Met a girl (Clara) and we took an apt in NoHo. Suzanne moved in across the hall a couple years later, then Jean moved in with her. The foursome hung together. Most people thought Jean and Clara were partners, and Suz and I were together, because of our skin colors-two mixed-race couples. We were part of “the 500 (or the DT 500). The 500 included Keith Haring, Madonna, New York Dolls, the Ramones, Blondie, Klaus Nomi, the Talking Heads. In the East Village, on Bleecker and Bowery, was CBGB, which was home to Television, Patti Smith and many of the bands that also played at Max’s Kansas City, where Debbie worked. Little temporary art galleries were opening and closing every week in the East Village. Everyone knew each other by sight-not so much by name, but we all knew Andy. In the early-to-mid 80s we hung at the Mud Club, Danceteria, Spitz and Club Mod (the last to were illegal underground ops :) No one knew anyone would become famous. Jean and I got busted at Park & 8th, but the cops were getting so many calls, they just took our stashes and un cuffed us. The area was violent. I mean Clockwork-Orange violent. I’m in touch with a few who still survive, and some that still thrive.
Its crazy how 50cent is spot on with jay z and hairstyle
spot on?? He made a statement.. It wasn’t a complex theory..
@@historicaloraclesDefinitely spot on.
Wonderful 👍.....glad people are starting to see him for his work and definitely who he is !!!!( Everyone deserves a chance 💪 he mad it)
🤞🏾💯
I hung out in the same circles as Jean Michele. Keith Harring too. I went to school for Design at that time, and hung out in the East village and SoHo. Fun times!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
God as my witness i remember in the 90s an older female cousin of mine use to draw what we all in the family viewed as crazy she had hundreds of posters she'd draw the same type of things he painted and the world label this man a genius
His art looks demonic. He was depressed and hurt poor soul.
I heard about him in grade school jay-z just found a way to capitalize on his name that’s all
Facts.. i heard of him back then too. Jay z just pushed that queer painters existance and follows his lifestyle.
@@montelturner2259 how do you know what lifestyle Jay-Z lives? You’re literally repeating shit you hear on the internet. None of us knows anything about Jay-Z’s lifestyle because he is and always has been private as hell. He says his name in songs as a reference to his own personal wealth. Flexing that he has expensive paintings. He also mentions a bunch of other expensive shit. “Lifestyle” 🤦🏾♂️ You chatting Montel
Jay Z trying to look like a dead gay painter...
Shocker
😂
I don't like modern art and I definitely don't like this, was he high? J and these people are strange weirdos
Means nothing just like your life.
LongliveBas a true Genius!!!!
Wtf does Jay z gotta do with Jean Michel , jay z wishes he was him bro . He tries to copy Jean Michel style and swears he’s just like him . what’s keeping Jean Michel basquiat name alive is his Art ! and what he left behind towards the people and his family . A lot of the people don’t understand that he used Art to express his pain and misunderstanding towards the people especially the media . people weren’t fw him when he and Andy Warhol were making a major impact in Painting back in the 80’s . and those that were supporting him and buying his paintings showed love to him . he even help others make believe in themselves based on their talent if he as a Hispanic/ black artist can do it so can they that’s what was important about him and that’s his talent .
All of them ranting for what?? Like it or not Jay Z opened him up to a ton of people who didn’t know him.. Yes he was a genius and famous in the art world before Jay Z, but to defy that he brought him a ton of new dabs is just crazy.. Not even something that is arguable..
No one from the culture gives a shit about jay-z@@historicaloracles
For those who don't know, the Basquiat movie is on Max right now. Jeffrey Wright plays Basquiat but the cast includes Gary Oldman, David Bowie, Benicio del Toro, Willem Dafoe, and others.
Thanks!!💯💯💯
@@historicaloracles No problemo. My girl and I happened to watch it recently on there, and I hadn't seen it in forever. Great flick. We actually got to see some Basquiat works at the LACMA here in LA at an exhibit a couple years ago.... among other many excitingly dope pieces. Basquiat's art, life, and influence is absolutely pure and amazing as a real artist.
@@citypopradioFM I think his King Pleasure exhibit is in LA now..
@@historicaloracles Sadly, it closed last year before we had a chance to see that one, but a deep thanks for looking out.
I. Swear I smiled when they said how much it sold for .😊💯💯
RIP Jean Michel..another genius taken to young by drugs,..When Warhol passed he really took it hard,..Ellen just sold one of his works.

Scribbles worth more than many lives, shame on this world.
I see your imagination hasn’t developed yet.
Do even understand art at all? So hypocritical.🤦
Looks like Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons haircut.
Basquiat became famous in the 80s because he "hung out" with, and was "close friends" with Andy Warhol. That is what made him popular and his artwork famous. Now his art is interesting, but aesthetic taste vary. There are a few pieces I like, like the dead horse figure right before he died. But to those familiar with fine arts, he was very famous in the 80s as a cultural figure in NYC art worlds.
It crazy, the things I like the most are the messages written on/in the paintings.. I find every one compelling..
So jayz trying to look like a Lil gay painter
Gee, that was original..
Unfortunately yes he is
Come on how old are you seriously
How ignorant to sum someones total worth up by their sexuality....
Btw he had a girlfriend!!
A lot of these paintings anybody could do. A crown? Why is this looked as good painting?
Because not anyone can actually do it.. It was also his style and not the limit of his ability..
You do them and sell them. Come with your own. Stop hating.
Sense these guys don’t know how to answer a question, I will answer it. It’s looked at as a good painting because of what it stood for and symbolized, not so much as the painting itself.
It’s trash I agree 🤣🤣🤣💀 he only got. A name cause he gay 🤣🤣💯🤷♂️

Correct… And a ton of people didn’t..
The crown 👑 of Basquiat was tarnished everytime he shot sugar in his veins and topped off the 2520s like Warhol who made him famous. There is no majesty in a BLACKMAN ON HIS KNEES who gags for bags and could never rise above his shame...

Life doesn’t frighten me at all with Maya Angelou’s poetry is such a lovely book for those not familiar with Basquiat. Don’t need JZ.
I am European and I still remember the press he got in my country when he died. was very young.
He was always admired.
😩😩😩
When it comes to art , it's in the eye of the beholder
9/10 people would bully this kid in school and call him a loser.
Sadly, that’s how it is sometimes..
Different will always be cool in my book
So basically all I need to do is scribble on paper, make myself a signature trademark and brand it..
Jayz wants to be a woodpecker like him too 😂
Art really is SUBJECTIVE!
It is..
Those paintings are like the dreams you have when you get high fever.
His art got popping after death . 😵💫😩
His art was poppin before his death. It became commercial after his death. Art collectors knew who he was when he was alive. This is why his works were selling for 100s of thousands of dollars when he was alive.
He’s been around for VERY LONG TIME he co created art with Andy Warhol and dated Madonna before she was Madonna. There is a very good movie about his life. Too bad like many artist, he had an addiction that he succumbed to
💯💯💯
Well said brother he was way before his time
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
What preschool art.
He’s been a legend in the art world and have inspired many including The Weeknd, jay z etc. and especially a lot of young black artists. He’s a legend.
For everyone saying in the comments it looks like a child could do what he did please dont even bother commenting. You dont understand expression, how he took everything he felt truly in his soul essence found a way to create it in ways SOME people would understand and look at and go yeah i see it i get it i feel it i like it. Most true artist dont see the true value in their art that other people do true artist will never truly complete anything we see as a masterpiece but they see as unfinished not fully completed not quite there yet. True artist express their soul in a physical way so others can view it and they see the value that the artist doesn't. So for the people who dont even know art how are you gonna know it when you see it? You expressed yourself created and formed and had the ability to show others this is how i feel im just showing you in a different way maybe youll see what i see and maybe youll see what you see. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
