JAY Z's Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film Video Premier

[OG Talk]

So let's see how this takes a jump from basically amounts to something like a concert to the "closest thing to a minstrel show any of us will witness in our life time"

- Trayvon Martin
- Jay Z said nikka in front of white people who happened to be there
- He did the kid n play dance with one of his fans...in front of white people who happened to be there
- He let a little boy (white) wear his chain

You put a lot of talking points together but they don't really add up to what you are describing when you take an objective look at them, it really just seems like you had your mind made up about how you were going to view it before you pushed play on the video, but i'll respect your mind on that. I just don't see how any of that is particularly offensive or minstrel like, I think you would have to be actively looking for it to actually see it that way, but that's just me.

It's kinda weird how some people (not you necessarily) especially on the "pro-black" front flip flop between not caring what white people think about black affairs and all of a sudden wanting to police another black persons actions, not because they are wrong period but because white folks happen to be around.

Lets say he keeps his chain on...and lets pretend we just edited out the ultra jiggaboo kid n play shuffle, is it still a minstrel show? What if we rearranged the numbers so that it wasn't so many white people there, would that make it better?

Let's say grandma had balls...Could we then call her grandpa?

What are we doing here?


I'm just commenting on how I preceived the facts of what occured...

 

[Crack Daniels]

Cool concept. Very original but the Militant Side of me can't watch this video and not be reminded of this......

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

This shyt was stupid, and my broke ass ain't got HBO. This made me mad,because true blood back on and I can't watch.


Good try though.

 

[Harry B]

niqqa its art. relax...

he didnt make it for you, me, black, or white people, he made it for himself.

It cost you nothing, pay him no mind...

WELP LOOK AT JAY-Z, he is using the N-WORD in front of white people?!

The same N-WORD hiphop has been using at their shows in front of crowds filled with white people for 30 years..

We need to call Al Sharpton and sort this shyt out.


This dude is hilarious.

 

[Mike Otherz]

In the wake of the Zimmerman verdict a 48 year old man standing in a museum proudly saying the "n-word" infront of middle aged white millionares while threatening to put the "Ye mask on" and spray other Black men while simulating automatic gun fire..

*everyone smiles and giggles

Then he starts doing the time honored buffoonery act of soft shoeing with another n1gga to the delight of the limousine liberals that had gathered for a voyeuristic ritual of watching "them in their own environment"

*more smiles and laughter.. "This is really swell Amy!!"

Before ending the whole clip by disgracing the gods and earths by placing his 7 and a crescent chain around the neck of a blonde haired, blue eyed upper eastside trust fund baby...



Yall call that "moving the culture forward" if you want to..But my question for you is where do you eventually want the culture to end up?

He isn't using the N word in the context in which u are...

He is using it in the context that many use it today including non-blacks in reference to other non-blacks.
You're inability to see this is the root problem here.

But lets say you're right and the context of a word is irrelevant.

Its still his art, and he owns it. he doesn't need to seek approval or praise for his art, its his truths, and is what it is. Same with Django, or Roots.

Art is art.

Protesting a work of art because you dont like it is one of the silliest things i have ever heard.

What you want is racial censorship...

[DEAD7]

Look at how far this c00n/cracker reaches to tear down a black man. The thing about c00ns like this is that they feel as if black people should stay in a certain box and deep down they think blacks are inferior to whites. His post can be solummed up in one sentence: "Jay Z's doing too much, he needs to get back in his place." He sees that these rich elitist crackers are on Jay Z's tip and it just doesn't compute. This c00n had to spin this into a scene where Jay Z was somehow being looked at as inferior in order for him to deal, even though that clearly wasn't the case. His obsession with crackers and how they were perceiving the black man controlling the show prevented him from seeing all of the beautiful black people that were in attendance.

This nikka looks ridiculous
