    to be fair tho, he was puttin in work in a basement surrounded by art dealers impatiently waiting to flip his paintings and sell them for mad dough. basquiat did his thing, but he was an underappreciated dude. he was def surrounded by leeches, they helped him make money but were also on his ass and took their cut, which is how it works. but i really feel like he was missing something, perhaps a strong woman that really understood him and fed him pure love. i really feel he needed more love than he got. too many slept on intellectual men and intellectual women that are not gettin the love they deserve.

      I agrée. One of the saddest parts about seeing brothers go down is knowing that when they are surrounded by the greed and intrigue of white ppl, their downfall occurs. This is not a swipe at white ppl, but I can see how lonely he was. The same with MJ. They pick you from the hood and separate you from your people. You are easier to destroy that way. I also find it odd that he died at 27, much like Jimmy Hendrix, adding him to the club of celebs who oddly pass at that same age.
