The statement that art inspires art is such a powerfully true statement, and I believe this video shows that well. I love Jay-Z as an artist, because I think in spite of all of his accomplishments, people rarely look at his artistic vision, even today. The artist that he speaks of is Jean-Michel Basquiat, an amazingly talented and charismatic artist, whose impact was far reaching, though often goes unheralded. Tragically, he died of a heroin overdose at the age of 27.
"Most young kings get their heads cut off..."This is such a forceful reflection, that sadly still rings true today.
