Remember when nikkas use to pretend to be into stuff like Basquiat?

[Tribal Outkast]

this looked like fun. I was mad that I missed it.

 

[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

Jay-Z is into Basquiat because dude was an incredible hustler. We can all learn something from a guy who can make millions off of those Crayola special ed joints.

Game recognize game.

Bruh, The High Museum in Atlanta used to have events on Friday nights and when I tell you it was some dimes up there. BRUH! I would go with my wife because they would have djs and shyt up there mixing and I had to get my peeps in on the sneak.

That’s what I’m referring too then it just stopped

people weren’t going the art gallery to hang out and meet people

Yeah they were...them shyts are parties

 

[Another Man]

Jay Z being pretentious and stans emulating him is nothing new.

For bougie snobby P U S S Y

Bourgeoisie tall freaks

Eh, I was doing that 5-7 years before Jay made it a thing. They used to have those Starbucks sponsored jams at MFAH with different exhibitions....they were fun but I got burned out of them.

Wish I could find that twitter thread Poitier posted dissecting these dudes. Cats were basically trying to be like bourgeois caucasians whether they admit it or not.

People are saying this is the new Basquiat. There is a mad scramble for his work amongst rich White Americans and Europeans. Last week one of his paintings sold for $1.3 million at Auction

to this Ghanaian brother.

That was still going strong in the A at both the High Museum and Fernbank before Covid. It was cool to just hang out, drink, and not have to worry about foolishness.
