Why Is Jean-Michel Basquiat Hip-Hop's Favorite Artist?

My favorite Artist in my Lifetime and I’m inspired to become a artist because of Jean & one day I sill own a few of his paintings

[@jesuskomailful]

Nobody is saying a fact that he is now big value in art market as a African American artist. So basically hip-hop people love to have him as a love or as a asset it's depends on them, even though some people don't like his art. And that's a fact. For a example:- Since I was small I loved his work but some of my friends they don't. But when he was auctioned breaking world's expensive painting before Da Vinci. People got hyped over Basquiat more as a luxury brand value. But he's a gem at least I knew he will be the future art at age 14 now I'm 30.

[@kitchentimeinc]

Love this dude. Straight genius

[@snipermafia3609]

[@ceesparxxx]

He would still be alive if it wasn't for heroin. The crazy thing is that if he was alive today, he still wouldn't be old enough to retire, and he's been dead for over 30 years!! That really puts things into perspective of how short his life really was.

[@TheLillianYoung]

I saw a current interview with his sisters and they still look young, meaning not senior citizens.

[@arfriedman4577]

Most artists never retire painting.

[@maxlouis2910]

Though i hate most of modern art , Basquiat is an exception , i might not agree with his personal life choices but his art conveys pure NY energy.

[@shakia_says]

Why even mention his personal life choices then?

[@haveaseatmarj]

Great story, IE👌

[@ayitian1]

The moral of the story, drugs will end your life!

[@theelementsofvirtuecollect5846]

His story has become my platform to inspire people to say no not just to drugs (as in the case of Basquiat) but also sex, drugs, and alcohol (by reason of others whose lives have succumbed to such) for the very reason you mentioned. Jesus is the giver of life and those things can destroy. I haven't always said no to those things but I learned many a hard lesson and shared a partial testimonial in one of the videos I posted since starting this channel, which, as an artist, I decided to do just to begin documenting my journey after watching Basquiat's biopic and interviews on KZbin. Before purchasing a compilation dvd with his biopic on it from Dollar General last year/ year before I had never heard of him. I am not really a fan of his art, but rather his life. You have wonderful insight. Always be blessed 🙌

[@nsr5961]

ayitian1 no, the moral of the story Is. If you create works of art, you’ll be recognized only after you die.

[@LibraYall]

Grafitti art is a part of Hip Hop culture thats why. Basquiat did an album cover for a rap song called "Beat Bop" by Rammellzee who is another great artist that makes costumes and is an out of this world character....look him up also on youtube.

But that Jay-Z video had nothing to do with Basquiat. Plus I searched "Inside Edition" up and this video was new. It was not suggested. So yes it was 100% Ironic

Did that guy just say it was "absolutely brilliant" to paint a childish T-rex with a crown, signifying "king of the dinosaurs". Brilliant? I don't think I would use that word to describe this concept executed.

@Bryant Pace: why do you seek out videos of 'The Radiant Child' as vehicles for pouring scorn on others who mean you no harm? According to the 'Basquiat' movie, Jean Michel HIMSELF approached Warhol with 'Wanna buy some ignorant Art?'...... People intellectualise, but it's NOW that he's influencing kids to find their own way, & produce work (painting, music, dance, writing, film......) that speaks for themselves & their culture....🙏🏼🌹🙏🏽
