The comments are bots from the basquiat estate 😂😂😂😂😂 embarrassingly obvious 😂😂😂

I fucking hate Basquiat's art. and I'm TIRED of pretending I don't! Oh great, now I'm being arrested!

I agree that shit was trash my son can draw that and he only 5😂😂

The ape inclosure at zoo b like

I think his work sucks but I do appreciate the meaning. I completely agree on your position on him being a unicorn. Total fetishization.

I don't give a damn about the artist's color. It's the work itself. Basquait's paintings were shit. The King was wearing no clothes.Art dealers used him to profit off his wrethched paintings.

I see Basquat's "art" as nothing but vandalism, especially his defacing of public spaces.

I love watching how happy you are 😊

🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Fein fein fein

This was the biggest waste of my time

Painting looks pretty fire

Love this album

I never knew guys listened to bad bitch music

Love the whole vibe of this art piece!

You said that "n" word. He too was a nepo baby?

This is something I'm experiencing in my journey of enlightenment and self realization, many people ask me about the "source" of my knowledge and all those kinda things, we need to Innerstand the essence of awakening. Our Ancients didn't write books on this bit left symbolisms which are more of Guiding map into these mysteries, it was something that was orally transfered from one Generation to another, due to many causes we've lost the chain of Enlightenment hence in this "new Era", many of us are manifesting things that the current generation cannot fully comprehend due to the generation gap.

Really love your style man, keep it up homie! Much love from Italy❤

Dope

I think you're spot on.. we saw the same 'mysticism' with O.J. Simpson.

Love that you said Indigenous Descent my brother.. 🪶

Honestly, I don't know any black people that are avid followers of his work.. he was successful because white folks liked his stuff... I don't think most inner city blacks really even understood his work... it's not visually appealing and all the "quotes" were borrowed from other people's writings

Anyone with a 5 or 6 year old child gets artwork sent home in their child's backpack that remind me of his work.

I don't think it's much about black people not having time to think as much as it is about western media not interviweing them, prob because a black philosopher has more chances against their western colonial interests

As an artist myself...i agree with everything you said. I never understood the alure of his work! I could draw & paint 10x better than basquiat, But at the end of the day i believe it was his connections & popularity in the undergroud NY art scene that propelled him to super stardom not his work! He was exploited by warhol & other's in the art world he was pawn...straight up

Me either i dont get it its sloppy and looks like a child did it i will never understand

You need to do better research, son.

Thousand master pieces. Brought the human form back that was missing for decades . As a colorist wee great.

The ideas in the video can be expressed more efficiently, with a better choice of words and without these disgusting mouth sounds (chewing and burping). Nonetheless, the video still opens up to a relevant discussion that we can have for emancipatory purposes. Black thought and critical race theory should be more accessible to our kids. We should have underground education channels in which we amplify the voices of Black philosophers.

I like his name dope style and fashion and his name sounds like a clothing line but you explained your opinion and gave alot of examples and not coming across as a hater at all

I see your side and I also see his work through the lense of West African art and conceptual art. You could also look at it emotional. I agree that with Andy and Madonna (and pretty much all of his "friends"), he played the role of a token. bell hooks has an essay about him. She says he wanted to be a king but also wanted a place for black artists. This is a bit questionable to me. Seems like he was just desperate for white acceptance. I have a couple of books on him (seeing loud and basquiat-isms). He was cool overall for his ability to navigate the art world and the emotional side of his art. I respect his fusion of West African culture. I just wished he focused less on white celebrities but then he probably wouldnt be known today.

"The art world" is the entire Earth, not a small fraction of the USA who are bestowed the honour of being called artists. There are millions of black perspectives in the art world, there always was. Its true the money machine didnt pick up on many of them, but so what? Art isn't dictated by money. Also, yes he was fuxking awful😅

That's a very bold assumption. I bet all of the united states and at least half of the world could name Dr. Martin Luther King.

This Man Is Intitled To His Opinion!😊

Facts

This is why artist shouldn't go to art school because you'll end up just like this pretentious dude with an elitist attitude drowning in student debt you gotta pay off with your artworks😂

Ya talent is definitely most likely art and not youtube commentary lol

Cuz u zesty asl

That’s because you don’t know nothing about art you know nothing about art just because you draw just because you paint just because you do some you have no idea what art is or what someone puts into it. You’re just throwing paint on a freaking canvas and you think you’re an artist, you have no feeling Bosque output pain he put everything he mixed artist into his stuff of what he thought he use other artist like a rapper uses. Other artists beats other artists temples other artist melodies you don’t understand Basia as an artist because you’re not a true artist, you’re a poser.

lol lmao what a wanna be but don’t wanna be lol lmao 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

u hating lol

Love this content, nobody is doing stuff like this in the community, at least on my feed but i hope you keep creating

His work has soul

Basquiat Art is colorful and different. I think Van Gogh famous art is wack but some think it’s beautiful

Basquiat’s untitled piece sold for 110 million dollars. Proving all you haters wrong!

Well, people who knew about Art, like Andy Warhol and others thought Basquiat was a brilliant.

Faaaacts!!! 💯 A black artist in the art world!!

Me Neither as a fellow artist!!! No Disrespect!!! But to each his Own🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Yall Noobs don't know what you are talking about
