I will never forget that day, NEVER. There were cries in the heaviness. I learned that moment about intuitive connection. Something didn't feel right about his fate. He came from a successful family.

      That could have actually been a rumor now that we know too many black geniuses were unalived because their talents and opinions couldn't be handled by the white industries since the 50s.

      It kills me how black geniuses of music, intelligence and this exceptional young man were accused of being unalived by drugs and supposedly ahead of their time. They were never ahead of their times. They are were oppressed and stopped by the scared white old money and refused to be controlled. When white authors secluded themselves to write are they locked in the attic to write? We know exactly what these white interviews were meant to do to the upcoming geniuses like this young man the highest piece of art being sold of ALL TIMES. This is a ignorant reporter. This made me hurt for my brother.

    I am not well versed in ART however, certain pieces I feel almost like I can understand the painting.....Untitled, to me, is hypnotic! I could stare at it for hours and never know how to describe what it makes me feel as I'm staring at it for hours! It's mesmerizing ❤
