Just turned 27 and my sister gave me a Notebook (a replica based off of his). I also am an esoteric artist… and this man’s story has touched my heart. This 27th birthday of mine has been an influential one. I promise not to let it go to waste.
This was a lovely video. I think your historical telling was absolutely on point. It was very professional and high quality. Thank you, absolutely great content❣️
Copied his laugh Style Mannerisms/speech Joints That was JMB’s thing When Jay came out I remember him mentioning how he smokes j’s and it wasn’t popular back then for our age so it stuck in my head lol It’s spiritual I’m sure Did you watch They Cloned Tyrone?
Fun fact : samo was also a term used to describe African Americans at a time also; “SAMO” was a Frankish Merchant who unified Slavic tribes against robbers and violence
Every 7 Years We Enter the Next Phase of our Life & THE Second Stage of WISDOM is the HARDEST for Some; WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE & COMPREHENSION. Am in my 11th STAGE.😊
Beautiful! ❤ He discovered the platform to express and be himself unapologetically with such an amazing gift. I've learned that spending a lifetime trying to earn the love and acceptance of those who refuse to or are incapable, can and will rob you of the light and energy that was meant to be directed into your talents. Live. Don't just survive. -TYH
Lack of strong family support, Ma and Pa....caught up with him. Andy was a father figure who left him when he was not ready to survive by himself . Developmental years of children very important
Very well done, as a fellow RUclips creator (a much smaller one) I really appreciate the time and work it took to make something like this! You've more than earned my subscribe
Now I see how he ended up on drugs sad what a Brilliant mind and artist was, had the right opportunities but those opportunities come with the wrong crowds the higher you go will always come with a price plus your soul.
Poor guy ill be honest ive never heard of him til recently. He seemed to be beautiful and deeply intelligent, my heart breaks for him but i dont know his story.
Interesting.. Send us a source. Maybe that played a part, but most references point to it being a play of words from the saying “same old same old” that he and Al Diaz made up.
@@dfxstudiosfunny how people disappear when asked for sources after spewing nonsense. I studied literary and you can factual confirm in the writings of Huxley in a brave new world that the word used in the novel is SOMA. That is the recreational drug referred to. SOMA not SAMO! Also soma is the brand name of muscle relaxants that kids were and possibly are still taking recreationally.
A quintessential New Yorker Basquiat like Andre Leon Talley in fashion knew how to play with the white scenester children of the downtown art world. The envy he generated as a black outsider with an inside straight was palpable. Unlike Faith Ringgold who could lay claim to being a black Black artist, Basquiat early on was accused of producing "white man folk art". His support did not come from the black art world, he was not trying to get a solo show uptown at Studio Museum of Harlem. Fame was the drug and there were plenty of white children to sell him even more. A connoisseur of immigrant re-invention he melted down the melting pot, such was the brilliant alchemy of his work. Unfortunately there were and still are social realities that wont melt down and weren't melting down in the early 80's. He paid a heavy price for social isolation with a drug addiction and not a beloved community.
@@butlayf-dy2sj your multiracial indie world is a fiction. A fiction that any “quintessential New Yorker is free to cultivate. In a REAL story of an artist where one comes from is where one’s cultural roots are. His artistic milieu was the downtown art scene that might have looked multiracial but the $$ certainly wasn’t. Ask Michael Stewart. … and as you sound very much like that superficial world…doubt will remain your cold comfort…
What was so horrific at home that he left and didn’t return that’s the question? My heart aches that he struggled before he had a chance to see his work today.
Shallow minds never appreciate art. Or seek to understand it. What brings them to the artist is rumors and they still never take away anything about the actual artist but their own prejudices. Smh. Sad but it shows people mind is more on he was gay. Modern minds. People found this man from 50 cent let that sink in. Of course they not going to see this man as the artist he is. People bash him but love Freddie. They call him high but love Kurt Cobain and listen to every word. Even the artist Dali. He still gets mocked. Most artist are bullied by society. Everyone doesn’t see art or depth. So the tabloids and rumors always intrigue the small minds more.
Who? What, did you read one comment and decide that’s the general opinion? Yeah, it’s great that this wildly influential artist is part of a couple different minorities. The reason people often mention it is because of how liberating it is. It destroys stereotypes, and allows gay artists and black artists or what have you to feel seen. If that bothers you, then ignore it brother.
@@rhinestcowby who ? Where ? When ? Buddy. Go to the modern time and just type in 50 cent interview where he introduced a new generation to him but only as the “ gay painter who Jay Z wants to be like “. The mockery of this artist is there. Even in this video when he is interviewed he was picked about. It broke stereotypes? For who ? If it did people would just call him an artist. Not the extra stuff. Many gay artist but stop acting like Basquiat wasn’t disrespected or mocked as an artist. The interviews are still available. Go watch it again buddy. Even the interviewer talks more about him being gay than his “ art “. When ? In many interviews. Then go watch other artist during the time and see the difference. Stop acting like the world care about artist when they are alive. There is many times they mocked him. Even to this day as the “ gay black painter “. You should watch more videos on this dude to see how it was for him not how we trying to make it like his artist journey. He even talks about this. People talk more about rumors than my art . But don’t be blind buddy. The truth be right there. Easy to miss so watch it with nothing in mind. You’ll see it and hear it as you were Jean yourself.
@@rhinestcowby bro clearly you don’t read the comments or other interviews on the guy when he was alive. lol talking to a wall right now. Just go back and binge watch them. Then go to the comments too. It’s more than “ one guy “ bro. You choosing to pick what you see and hear. Go to the frustration interview too. Just listen bro. Just list the questions and how he responds when he try to talk about his art. This is no debate. The truth there you just choosing to over look this artist real life . To say no one cared he was gay ? Bro. Stop you not helping people see the struggles of black artist because they will be seen as everything else. Which is the point even the original commentator is saying. The likes even recognize that. You choosing not to. To be blind to this great artist life. It wasn’t easy man. He even tells us that but many people say the gay black artist was on drugs and had affairs with Andy: who cares . We talking about art. But to say people care for art is lies man. This video would have more views if people knew more about him. Instead The “ gay “ being all people know about him now is sad man. You don’t even get it. Study this man . Every interview. You’ll see more
Dcare what anyone says the trains in the yards in NYC and parking lot walls or playground walls in Jersey City NJ have THE BEST GRAFFITI! The BEST young artists! They're painted over so new ones can go up so you have to snap them fast!
I mean, it’s one thing that likes somebody’s hairstyle and imitated, but he literally took the baseball cap because he wears that that hat that Dobber that he had on he took that from the guy way he dresses he took that from the guy and the fact that he’s bisexual he stole the whole image
I'm not hating but his art does nothing for me, I don't feel any emotions... art is supposed to stir your emotions... his stuff just looks like crap honestly 😅
I'm the brother of Anthony A One Clark. It's amazing how others have made millions of dollars off of my dead brother's art. Completely amazing. He left no will. I have his death certificate in my hands. Each day the Clark family cries out for help
Jay z doing his hairstyle like jean Michel can be a shout-out to him paying homage to the greats I feel that people apply themselves more than their lives to the giving so much radical disagreements on bulshit they will progress more in life life
Let us know your thoughts!
What is the background track name, and artist? Thanks so much! I love JMB!! :-D xoxo
Just turned 27 and my sister gave me a Notebook (a replica based off of his). I also am an esoteric artist… and this man’s story has touched my heart.
This 27th birthday of mine has been an influential one. I promise not to let it go to waste.
Happy birthday!! 🎉
NYC legend. He redefined what it meant to be a contemporary artist. Warhol was there to ride the wave.
1 of 1
Warhol was Drake before Drake lol
As a black visual artist he is my inspiration. $0 years ago ad nothing has changed
Warhol was more interested in riding Basquiat
what drug addict ?
It's a shame that jealousy and hatred from a community of there peers destroyed the greatest friendship of modern art
Their
God forbid
This was a lovely video. I think your historical telling was absolutely on point. It was very professional and high quality. Thank you, absolutely great content❣️
Thanks so much ❤️
Jay z stole his hair style. Give it back Jay.😂😂
😂😂😂
Inspired he said that
All Jay z does is steal
JayZ is a jerk
Copied his laugh
Style
Mannerisms/speech
Joints
That was JMB’s thing
When Jay came out I remember him mentioning how he smokes j’s and it wasn’t popular back then for our age so it stuck in my head lol
It’s spiritual I’m sure
Did you watch
They Cloned Tyrone?
“Jay Z wants to look like a gay painter” - 50 Cent
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 Right
@@dfxstudios😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
That's where I heard it. Obviously, I don't know enough about basquiat.
Kid Cudi has to be related to this guy all i see is Cudi with dreads 😂
I can’t unsee it 😂😂
No he really does😂
No one from the 80s agrees lol
they’re both afrolatino. Cudi has black and Mexican roots, basquiat Puerto Rican and Haitian
I said yhe same thing
Basquiat alongside Jimi Hendrix is a source of inspiration for me
Two legends 🙌🏽
Did you grow up in the Eras ?
Fun fact : samo was also a term used to describe African Americans at a time also; “SAMO” was a Frankish Merchant who unified Slavic tribes against robbers and violence
Funner fact: the term was sambo not samo
Basquiat really bagged Madonna though..
😂
Why not. He was talented and Attractive...
Everybody bagged her
You act like Madonna was hard to get.
Hell, I bagged Madonna!😂😂
27 club...... Damn
Cobain, Hendrix, Mac Miller, Morrison, list goes on smh
Yes
Mac miller was 26 when he died lowkey wish he made the 26 club though.
27*
The 27 club is scary
Jay def is channeling Basquiat.
You’re right and he ain’t the only one.
Why do legend’s always pass away at 27 😢
Cause he was doing drugs
Oh he’s in the 27 club 😮 a sold soul
We all gonna die. Deal with it. Lol😢
Every 7 Years We Enter the Next Phase of our Life & THE Second Stage of WISDOM is the HARDEST for Some; WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE & COMPREHENSION. Am in my 11th STAGE.😊
He took the oath, sold his rights to satan

Yeah...and Jay Z is the first person in this video😂
I did not know he was a part of the 27 club.Sad story, smh...

Such a great and beautiful video. Cheers 🍻

When people talk about basquiat they say the samo things

Just say No.
Thank you for this! I've always wondered why Jay Z walks around looking like that, he's been obsessed with arr for decades
Thanks for watching!
Interviewer: “Sounds like a slow process”
Me: “ well, I’m a slow person”
And I felt that
😂
I’m Puertorican and Haitian too

You're gonna be great!

✨BEAUTIFUL mix✨🧚🏾✨💫
Ooh so that's where his name come from. I was wondering. Thanks

The movie " Basquiat "
@@nonkisibanda4021 Thanks a lot
I thoroughly enjoyed this piece on Basquiat 💯 I love Black artists!😍
Glad you enjoyed it!
This “ART” looks like tweaker scribbles you can find “Art” like this at any home bum camp in any major city and a bunch of needles
Hmmm so 50 wasn’t lying
what u mean lol
@@dfxstudios have you seen the clip of 50 saying Jay Z is mimicking this artist’s style ? I can see the resemblance.
@@CeceliARobinson-m1e I could see it a little.. the hair
I am sorry I meant I can see the resemblance. I agree it’s the hair
Nope
So why do some say Basquiat was gay? I heard his name recently and looked him up.
They say he was bisexual. There’s rumors that he and Warhol had a thing
@@dfxstudios I listened to a recent comment by 50 cents about jay zee.
Gawd Annoying that we have to read about rappers we don't listen to on chit we grew up with
And he had girlfriends One atleast even posts on Instagram
And a not famous girlfriend
Anyone else here after 50 cent interview
This story is sounds amazing my first time ever hearing of him his story is powerfully inspiring in spite of the sad ending 😢
What the name of the book he likes to read
Im not sure what the names are exactly but I can maybe dig into it and find out
Grey's Anatomy.
Thanks for that@@vincentjohnson5843
That is not art. It´s crap.
This is the best example of “the emperors new clothes”I’ve seen

Yeah, Jay Z loves Basquiat, but made an ad with his dear wife for a blood diamond business..
Never heard of this guy until 50s interview about JayZ copying his style
