Mai why the hell people saying he died from aids?​

I never heard someone say that. Do people say that? He was a mysterious guy and so much time has passed since his death that I think most people just make assumptions about him, like the original tweet

 

[Yecht]

He didn’t have AIDS, he OD’d on heroin

That doesn't mean he didn't have AIDS

Edit: hold up so how he got aids?

You can get aids from needles.

Not siding with jay but basquiat was not the only one with duke dreads

[spliz]

No proof of it. And he never said so. So nah. He’s wasn’t gay.

I agree with the second part of your post, but this connection Jay trying to make like his work was this super sophisticated stuff and he wasn't a purely capitalistic mainstream rapper that more or less helped usher in this hyper materialistic and shallow climate of hip hop we see today is amusing.

When you become a father, man. His kids still gonna hear Big Pimpin, and Super Ugly one day, do they own research and contrast it with the man they grew up with and no amount of PR will pretty up how he's truly depicted to them

He addressed exactly this point on 4:44 and I felt that

This is a spin, anyone can spin; Basquiat came from the same hoods as Jay-z, dabbled in drugs like Jay and later on made millions of arts and hung out with the NY elite like Jay-z.

nikkas reducing one of the great American artists to homeless homo due to their hate for Jay is crazy.

Jay talks about his past on like every song and interview.

You think that their father making rap music about broads is wilder than them hearing that he shot his brother, dealt mad drugs, that those guys were doing more killing than the Chicago boys today and on


A lot of men, suburbs or wherever where ladies men in their younger days. Few upper middle class to wealthy men were murdering people and selling drugs within criminal organizations
