50 brought me here 🤣
Facts
Me too
Same
😭same
Me too 😂
jay z being a gay painter according to 50 cents made me watch this.
I can't unsee Jay Z as this character now lol. They literally have the same hairstyle.
Me too!🤦🏿♀️🤣
Do your homework. He had many girlfriends
@@1nicbev which makes even more sense on why Jay Z is copying him
He wasn't even gay
I'm here because of what 50 said 😂
Nobody cares!
Jay-Z is telling you he has a sick and twisted mind.
You go from playing a heroine dealer on American Gangster album to portraying your someone who supposedly died from heroine; All because you earned enough money to buy one painting. Now you feel like he visits you in dreams as a rapper who has stole from other artists. 😂😂
Hell, if anything Jay Elect is closer to Basquiat than Jay will ever be.
Was homeless, got a crazy talented babymama, made incredible music,
Smashed a Rothschild then took a plane to Nepal in some RayBands.
And his wife promotes clothes she's doesn't even wear aside from Instagram.😂😂
Did you right a commet to your comment? Thats wild
@@yogfcheating🤣🤣
When u go to the barber and ask for basquait but u get the Whoopi look instead
I saw the post Jay Z says he’s the new Basquiat he starting to sound like Kanye West
Brother I’m 18 and already figured out the world was a stage if you don’t know this by now that rappers politicians are enter tame ment then idk what to tell you Jay z is him they fake there deaths for obvious reasons and gatekeep
I really enjoyed the tie-in with JayZ. As an art teacher in Detroit this is a great way to get them engaged and interested in making meaningful artwork.
Do you teach on online I am in need of a teacher
50 is badd. He brought me here too😅😅😅😅
I think Jay 🐪 lost a bet and had to wear his hair like that for 5 years.
Jay Z has literally none of the struggles that Basquiat has
They both loved art and excel at their forms of art.
50 profess too loudly. Is he gay? Basquiet's art and paintings are recognized all over the world. Jay-Z is a fan of his work, as a lot of people. Jay Z knows they didn't have the same struggles. Maybe it's the NY connection. Warhol has straight and gay admirers. 50 needs to shut up
@@evelyntaylor4470you mad huh? 50 can say what he wants 😂 you not gonna stop him
@@coopc97 never mad. Any body can say what they want. I can say what I want. It is of no consequence. Just talk✌
JAY Z...... WHY YOU AIN'T ANSWERING THE PHONE? haha
Dam 50 was correct he wants to be a gay painter. I don’t see what is so special about his paintings.
this was good, let me give some minor minor criticism though, and that his name is pronounce more like John Michelle rather than jean michael, keep up the good work though, glad someone did a video on this
yes you are right that was my mistake
@@Enlightenedhiphop youre good man, just wanted to let you know
Fifty is a treasure 😂
This was a solid video . thanks man
Glad you liked it!
Not to be mean because some of this stuff is cool but it looks like scribbles I made in 3rd grade okay still pretty neat though. It's still pretty neat though
Lol 50 cent brought me here too lmao
« You image yourself after a gay painter »
I feel like 99.99% of these views are because of 50
Theres money behind all this.. jay z.. 50 cent.. basquiat.. 🤑
And Jay Cole and Cam Newton want to image themselves after Jay Z. Go figure 😂
1:38 - Alexander the Great was Macedonian “Greek” not Roman, lol.
And 50 brought me here.
Me and jean Michael Basiquet was like me were all a lot of weird and talented but we won't use it at all been we don't like to be in the lime light I get very nervous around big group of people who I don't I don't usually speak at all because I'm a anti social person and in school my mom was also have to go to the office because I didn't speak as a child I could I just didn't want to and I'm still the same very gifted and talented person and I always read a lot of book my teachers put me, in the library to help put organization the book I study poetry and I know why the caged bird sing
What struggles is Jay-Z facing that Basquiat would have faced if he was matured? Jay-Z ain't facing any more troubles than any other business man on the planet and he also gets the luxurious side of the business as well. Jay-Z is rich as hell he ain't out there in the streets struggling and being black don't make him some victim the man rub shoulders with rich white people constantly how do you think he afford his yacht and his multimillion-dollar homes.
I think he means that had a similar upbringing. He's saying Basquiat would be in his position had he lived long enough to see the fruits of his success.
Wait too much hate here. I think he means they both had a similar upbringing. He's saying Basquiat would be in his position had he lived long enough to see the fruits of his success.
Where's the art, the social message, and never ending imagination? Nowadays you're just another corporate rich guy. Don't insult his legacy with such an ignorant statement. Getting dreads dont make nobody JMB
They both have haitian roots.
I still don’t get it cause Basquiat wasn’t in the streets selling drugs. He was using it, and he dated Andy 🤷🏽♀️
Nah you high
Basquiat was a grassroots artist and Jay is just taking property of his image and he should stop siphoning him bc he is nowhere near him. Jay z is a vulgar person.
Jay on his way to jail lmao
No jay z gay like Basquiat quite lying
I dont see the talent
Get someone else as a commentators, this isnt it!
Some mental gymnastics here but... I'll continue to process wtf this is lol ...ipiphinated lotus out gander the vision of soul and empty thoughts....chicken sandwiches 99$ at Carl's junior buy now ..jk
SAMO = same ole.
Sambo.
@@Ashley_Schaeffer that’s a fighting technique or a racist cartoon character from the 30’s. SAMO was a joke between Basquiat and Al Diaz. Short for “same ole shit”.
@@bluevalkyrie8981 No its not... SAMBO!
HE'S PHONEY!!!!!
50 Cent pulled his card.
Same, and the fact I tried to tell my girl about the weirdness and because it’s me she want to argue about the deeper meaning so I needed to regather my info lol
50 need to grow up.
Jayz woulda screwed him over too if he was alive.
"Jhawn Mee-shell" is the pronunciation - it was a French-Haitian name. Congrats on the success of the video, though. Where did you get the cool background music, if you don't mind me asking.
Bro said Jeen Michael 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙆 made me dislike the video from the start
Thank you. I caught that too, lol.
@@renehopkinson5079 bruh, seriously! Didn’t even wanna bother watching the rest of it smh
I caught that as well!
Also got 'avant garde' completely wrong... Or are we too harsh
Basquiat would hate jay z if he was alive today
Why?
@@oneinakrillion.
Jay Z is a capitalist
Nah he'd cop from him. Jeàn-Michel Used Dog Food
@@JoshuaKimbrough😂wdf
@@oneinakrillion.probably because he’s so pro capitalist
Basquiat's first name is pronounced "John" (spelled Jean). Michele is pronounced "Michelle" like the woman's name, not Michael. By the way, Jay-Z is no Basquiat...not even close.
Jay-Z is a fan/admirer of Basquiat's work as many people worldwide. Maybe Jay Z is trying to connect with Basquiat in some kind of way. 🤷
Especially since he's not original with his bars! He stole so many lines from Biggie!
He looks like him
JM Basquiat was a ginius. And Basquiat was better looking hands down. Jay Z can never come that close to this man.
@@Ayog06 Basquit was a junkie
There's a deeper reason why Jay likes him and its not for the reason ya'll think. This is a dark world we live in....
😮
I'm leaning more towards this too. No disrespect but JMB was on the down low and an addic. None of us are perfect, but Jay z's fascination with him is kind of random in my opinion.
@scootabean I'm also fascinated with him because he was so much more than someone struggling with addiction. He feels very relevant and 'of today' too. He could walk straight into 2023 and fit right in. He was sharp, sensitive, passionate, funny, and seemed extremely ambitious. He'd be on my list of people I'd want at that fictional dinner table.
@@louisebarber2984 He was an interesting man for sure 🙂
@@scootabean Leaning more towards what?Can someone explain?
I’m Only here cause of 50 cent
There is one thing in being a fan of one's work and their faith within their work.. It's a whole different ball game when You try clone Yourself off that person that's just insulting
That’s what I was just thinking.. when I look at Jay it’s like he has his spirit in him creepy!! I heard Jay has a loc of his hair in his hair
But that's all been Jay-Z's motto all these years. Looks deep into his career musically, business wise. He always models himself to other people to a point where he want to be them.
Exactly 💯💯💯💯
@@Sammybnailz who told you that?
Every time I see Jay-Z I don't see a Basquiat clone I see Clifford from Muppets Tonight 😂
Lol 😂
Jay-Z has no business even connecting his name to Basquiat. Also, Basquiat, was not an Afro-American. He was Haitian and Puerto Rican.
50 brought me here also 😅
I saw this brotha's work before but didn't know who he was....oh yeah and 50 brought me here
Please let JMB have and keep the legacy he created Jay Z....
Jay and Beyoncé are always trying to take over something It’s annoying 😡
Shout me 🤙 ❤️ @LondonWright
Many don’t know, but he wasn’t respected nor accepted into the art culture because he was black. It wasn’t until he passed that the art world finally held his art to a high regard. So much so everyone started to buy his art because they knew it’d be worth millions
Jay and Beyoncé is always fronting their always trying to highjack someone
His work is so uniquely him and that is what art can be.
Your analysis is on point, but your pronunciation makes me want to give you the side eye.
I laughed at jay z when he compared himself to Jean. Nah bro you are a hot dog vendor in comparison to Jean.
😂😂😂
Jean Michel Basquiat pronounced in French correctly Jahn-Michelle-Basque-ki-at🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Originality is rare nowadays. Everyone wants to be someone else and not themselves.
I’m pretty sure Jay Z wants to be Jay Z
@@suzy_____ I guess it’s a crime to be inspired
@@suzy_____ I was hoping you’d have a better comeback than that
Yo, appreciate this video. I've been asking myself this exact question because Jay-Z referenced Basquiat so often back then.
Because Basquiat was a real artist, unlike Jay-Z.
50 cent brought me here also
It's pronounced John, not Jean. Also it's Same O, not S a m o 😂
50 brought me here 🤔! He was Bi I see not gay, but I am not a fan of his paintings 🤷🏽♀️! Just my opinion from what I saw ! Also JayZ is bored 😂😂😂!! Being fascinated by a man I see…. Smh JayZ needs to cut his hair and take a bath 🛁 😒!! He has fell out ! Just my opinion! What do I know I am not a billionaire and I like to wash my a$$ and do my hair 😂😂😂😂😂! Sorry if I dont like freak offs 😂!!
Lmao so insanely sus.
I cannot be the only cringing at the commentator's mispronounciation of majority of words.
Basquiat's art is not original it looks like August Walla's work.
ppl in comments mad cus of mispronounced words lol people cant enjoy a video without being soft wtf
let me be very clear # he is not NO FUCKIN # Basquiat
I enjoyed this video a great deal from the info down to the music played in the background! However, I fail to understand, to recognize & to realize how you managed to mispronounce his name within the first few seconds of this video! I thank you for correcting the pronunciation afterwards! You did an awesome job & I look forward to viewing some of your additional videos! ✌
I KNOW he didn’t say Jeen Michael
I wish jay z could see my masterpieces....
JZ is also closet gay??
Basquiat is my favorite artists. Him and his art were both powerful. Love the man, Love the art. A true inspiration. I'm an artist myself.
thank you for putting this together. i like to listen to art / hip hop history as i work on my own art. again, thank you.
Glad you enjoy it!
50 brought me here!😂😂😂😂
HOW HE TOUCH LIVES 🤣🤣🤣🤣 HOW SWAY
WHOS HERE BECAUSE OF 50 CENT TALKING BOUT JAY-Z?!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nope
50 speaks truth...only Rapper that reminds me of tupac
50 sure didn't lie, this is crazy. He!! a disturbed kid could've painted those pics, I could've done better on hallucinogenics
@@misslove7698 🤣😂
There ain't no special connection. He just watched a docu, got infatuated and got the same haircut as him. He's gonna do with "fine art" what he did with fine French champagne... floss,talk about it way too much til its played out.
Super happy more people are interested in Jean. Special individual to me
50 cent gave me the address
Wild almost all great artist I known or heard of fit the same few things imo...they are fragile, misunderstood, create a crazy drug use I'm assuming from trauma and fast money...the are all underdogs until they die...
Basquiat was ass
Learned about Basquiat through 50
Really? 50 is the expert on Basquiet. Good you found this channel
Wow I never heard of him till just now embarrassed to say😮
50 for President # GETDASTRAP
Basquiat was Haitian, born in Haiti. Basquiat is an old french name .
Yo…he was born in Brooklyn. Definitely of Haitian descent, but def born in Brooklyn.
@chrisharris_arizona Sometimes I wonder how he survived in Brooklyn with his style. Maybe it was a different Brooklyn, not the Brooklyn that cops fear to patrol.
Same 50 cent
Maybe JayZ is dead and Basquiat's spirit has been resurrected and now inhabits JayZ 's body. They say truth is stranger than fiction ✨✨🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼
Jean died in 88 lol Jay was selling Coke in 88 or at least that's what he says 😂
“Had he been allowed to mature”? Please, who or what stopped him from maturing?
He died at 27
@@KevinVera-r6nWhat killed him, drugs right?
Heroin stopped him
Please pronounce his name correctly.....smh
Damn it goes deeper than what Nas said.
Orlando brown said they all trade souls and trade faces 😮 jay z wearing jean Michael basquiet face/soul
Jigga must have few paintings in his bath room and kitchen of his role model basquiat , nothing wrong hov money big
Not even close
50 brought me here too😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t come at 50 bro, he’ll pull your card real quick 😂
Who is “Gene Michael”? Bro, you’re reading and butchering mad words you could’ve looked up, listened, and heard from elsewhere to get your narration together. You fucked up mad words in this son.
Gene Michael is not his name his name is Jean Michel pronounced Jon Meeshell! Lil more research bud actually no research needed just respect!! Basqiats father is Haitian- French spoken language French pronunciation!
Came here through fiddy 😂😂😂
And it’s not AVANT gardE, it’s pronounced GARD, you, can, do, better….. unless this is just AI.
I studied art, fell in love with his work, he's my favourite artist
I really dislike that Jay Z swagger jacked him, really weird and strange, you have your own legacy stop tainting anothers
