    This who Jay Z tries to look like
  • Crazy how he looks like he be in this generation... Like he was ahead of his time
  • I just wanted to hug him. It just seemed to make him sad to have to correct that man that way. 💛

    When an intelligent being is confronted with the stupidity of the masses
  • "If I was white, they would have said artist in residence... instead of all that other stuff." FACTS💯🤩❤️

    He was very handsome and seemed very intelligent. Emotionally and mentally. God rest his soul. He also appeared to be sad as well.
  • @peachezp1587
    Absolutely! He was an artist in residence. One of Brooklyn’s finest ❤🙏🏽❤️

    That wasn't a laugh, more of a speech impediment... that was a stutter, not a laugh. A genius ahead of his time. Why do ppl only appreciate others after they're gone.
  • @yurrrrrr6708
    He wasnt locked in a basement and ordered to paint. He put himself in that basement and dedicated himself to his craft. Tourtured artists are obsessed with their craft.
  • @Kerrviii
    He was dealing with some heavy shit. ❤ respect
  • This man was so far ahead of his time and he is “GONE TOO SOON” R.I.P.
  • @serenity2989
    He was frustrated with the rumors about him being locked away to paint. That’s why he said that if he was white they would’ve just said artist in residence.. Not that other stuff

    Jay Z wanna copy his image so bad even do his little “laugh-off” from him
  • He was also a Graffiti artist, and was very controversial amongst the NY ART Community! Most artist at that time didnt want to acknowledge his work as "ART"
  • @blewdraaz1057
    He was a genius treated appallingly and let down. Especially by Warhola. And no he didnt have a stutter. This is heartbreaking. And now his works worthy hope his family have it all
  • When the interviewer😢 brought up the subject about being locked up in the basement, you can see he was holding back tears...
  • @ColdWerdz
    Kid Cudi should play him in a movie
