I spotted 3 mentions on my 3 full listens. i wouldnt be surprised.

He mentioned him way more than that
He mentions him 4 times alone on "Picasso Baby"
He referenced like the samo shyt which was his graffiti tag and he says his first name jean michel
He referenced way too much between 10-15 times on the album at least straight dyck riding lol learn about other fukking artist and stop posing my nygga

:InMyMind: What chu talking about?

haha idk much about Basquiat but I watched like 20 min of a documentary on him and he was just an overall strange cat.

Like some other dude mentioned he would scribble all over everything

But also I remember this one interview where this dude (who didnt even know him very well) remembers Basquiet letting him in to his apartment with no clothes on

I just cant see Jay Z standing for stuff like that. :pachaha:

If Basqiuat was still alive and Jay came to his apartment (to ask him cliche questions about his art), and Basquiat was just chilling naked, what would Jays reaction be?? :umad:

This dude said "chillin' naked". LMAO!!

The whole Basquiat thing is some bullshyt to me. It's that artsy fartsy shyt that people cling to, because the dude was a cultural menace in his time. His work really looks like a kid got blindfolded and just went crazy with a couple crayons. But because he died and left behind this cryptic legacy, his work got valued wild high and became the "cool" thing to associate yourself with or own.

So naturally, this ended up becoming some kinda twisted status symbol and one that people all over have embraced. I don't get it, never will. I just can't get with the hype on that one. The work doesn't do anything for me.
