not only is Picasso baby is pretentious hipster bullshyt, it also sum up the real jayz

[DrX]

this is jay in a nutshell....so much so...that its beautiful, he let his true self out with Picasso baby and deep down he knows it....j is a very calculated dude that pays attention to everything....he knows that artsy video was an bad idea...because it exposed him to non sheep's


it shows him as his true self... a insecure middle aged man going through an serious identity crisis ... jay is a lost soul...yeah he got paper but hes stuck right now... sometime hes a liberal, artsy hipster non-threatening black guy...sometimes hes a boring no personality having conservative business man ...other times hes the guy that sold drugs 20 something yrs ago

his music shows this also, it has no direction....its hollow, i mean don't get me wrong he always talked about hustling and getting money but even with that he don't had the same passion...he could see that it was authentic


the Picasso baby video is bullshyt, its j catering to rich white ppl that don't even understand his lyrics....passing it off as high art


the video is wack and even j look uncomfortable .....nothing revolutionary or deep about it....just a bunch of dorks in a room...

Did he say it was deep? Did anyone say it was deep?
I just thought he wanted to bring together artists of all socioeconomic climates, races and art forms on a set resembling an art exhibition and turned it into an emceeing session.
It was everyone from street dancers, wales, Taraji, Michael K Williams, Rosie Perez to Jemima Kirke and random ass actors, normal people to fill out the place, street artists, actors, singers, painters etc..
Is it corny to relate to your fellow "artists", but it's cool to just have random brothers you don't have any relations with besides color of your skin, former strippers, ferraris etc.

The song is however kinda deep with 2 sidetracks one of them not being deep at all, just normal rhyme/wordplay/flow flex and entertaining battle/bragging lines. The other being the "I want more, what's this really worth when I think back". And the main-track being him being Hov, shocking.

Cats are too concerned with white people.

I actually agree with this. But I think its a combination of an identity crisis and appealing to those "pretentious hipster". Jay is smart and knows how to cater to his audience.

I know that this is a forum and we at-large discuss people, but Eleanor Roosevelt's quote

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

is so applicable to the lot of you who spend 70% of your posts discussing the same celebrities, over and over. I recall you (and I may be wrong) talking this same stuff in the video thread. People ran through your opinion. You just had to lay low and bring it back up, huh?

Jay-z is pushing the genre forward.

You just think Jay-Z is being uppity and are most likely a CAC.

You probably wouldnt be happy with anything Jay-z did unless he went somewhere quiet to die.


And for the record i hated it...but I appreciate his contribution.

Also I don't understand why you can't be a liberal businessman who loves art and has a past of selling drugs. Why does that have to be 3 different people? lol.

Sometimes Lebron is a father, sometimes he's a basketball player, sometimes he's a businessman and sometimes he's even a liberal burger eating brother.


Calling it Art film might've been corny that's about it.
Even though it pretty much was, given that super commercial Jay-z wouldn't have been the rapper.
