With Out Walls "Jean-Michel Basquiat"

Al Diaz sounds real jealous and bitter here. I know they were early friends and collaborators with the Samo graffiti, but what really happened? What was the dynamic in the collaboration? Was it all Basquiat's words? Did Basquiat betray him and take full credit once he outted himself as being Samo? Glad Diaz has since chilled out and is not calling him evil lol

He wasnt a genuis , i knew him . There was alot of people walking around nyc doing drugs and being homeless and acting crazy back then that could actually paint and didnt paint like a 4 year old .he would scribble on a door with black paint and the people thought it was so cool because graffiti was big back then . It was a different time and he was lucky. I saw him one day walking down the street talking to his self wear white clogs with no socks and it was 18 degrees outside. I said , " somo !where you going with no coat on. He was an artist because he was committed to his work , he wasnt a bad person people liked him for the most part.
But he wasnt a genuis. He was a product of his time and slightly naive. But not a genuis.

Madonna has always had an excellent taste in men!

He was born in the wrong time period. I wish he could've been appreciated more while he was here.

The husband was speaking truth, then the wife cuts him off to make it clear “it don’t see color “

He got what he wanted but didn't want what he got. Samo story.

Brilliant artist. God bless his soul

Its sad. Bas. Died.

the background music is cheesy, played out. Can't hear the guy

💎👏👏👏Thanks!

Everyone has taken from Basquiat. Both Kanye and Jay Z took his hair expression

Wicked wicked wicked wicked wicked wicked wicked wicked wicked wicked wicked wicked Rip

Reminds me of tattoo art experience

The world (art world) wasn't ready for him man...... I really feel his pain in this documentary. I hate that Black artists have to die and get "rediscovered", to get their proper accolades.... I'm gonna keep it a buck: if putting food on the table was contingent on me trying to appease white people / gatekeepers that will never see me as their equal, despite OBVIOUS success, I'd be beyond *****ed up too . This cuts deeper than I realize

He listened to jazz but we have to listen to this lame hip hop

I’m tired of new artist biting this man’s shit do your own be original !

"When someone dies young it's easy to make up a scenario of what a tragedy it is... If he had gotten fat and started making really hideous work then that would have been a tragedy" You can tell who the people are who care about the art and not the artist. The real tragedy is having people around you who don't really look out for you.

Thank you thank you thank you for this beautiful knowledge of the young Artist gone too soon.. but a heavy impact on being unique.. living your own way. Not conforming to the 🌍..❤❤❤❤ RIP JMB 🎨

Yaasssssss visual poetry 🎨❤️🕊️

Wow, I think his home-life really messed him up a lot. His mom and dad's breakup had to have been rough with her then being put in an institution. She seemed down-to-earth and very artsy, like him. He went through so much trauma in his life, then later, the fall-out with Andy Warhol. So many variables at play in his life, including dealing with racism. The art world is a tough system to navigate. Then throw in some addictions, and wow, this creates some really heavy rough days. Georgia O'Keefe said that praise and criticism came out of the same bucket. Jean-Michel was so young too. There was still yet so much to learn about being human and a practicing artist. Jackson Pollock had real challenges also. Honestly, as an artist myself who is STILL evolving, I have HAD to give up all addictions that were affecting my art - alcohol, smoking, bad relationships, too much sugar and so on. The art is like a baby that has to stay healthy. In my experience, I finally called out to Jesus Who helps me every day. Best decision I ever made. Good video with parts I have not seen before. Thank you!

This guy is a JEAN-ius

It's late period Picasso inner city style

Al was a sour Puss

Jean-Michel was not evil, he was frustrated /angry with the constant stupid and racist questions people would continuously ask him ❤

He was a fragile person! Not meant for that time

This man was a severe drug addict and a schizophrenic. Madonna used her fame and platform to harvest his energy via art and immortalize him.

what a loss he left this world much too early... it would've been good for us all to see and enjoy more of his lovely unique works... as much as it would've been good for him to do them.

Omg, I have a limited edition eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay that was inspired by him. I never knew who the person was whose name is on the palette until now.

As a black artist, I always find it flattering that white folks are so fascinated and due to racism and history, there is money (freedom) there but I also find it sad if we view it from a place where people have to earn, experience or deserve the right of passage. I mean this with respect, the greatest people who can narrate are those who come from a place a relativity. But seemingly this is more the American way and how to capitalize on a man beyond his death. "they will know him now". Why do people love artist after they die but not in life? I have many theories.

J.M.B Still.Has Us Confused-!..He is J.M.B..Samo.

The guy who was conducting the interview was mad annoying. You can tell he didn't prepare his interaction wth J.M.Basquiat.

❤

"Do you think your ethnic background is helping or hindering..." that interviewer is so condescending and insulting. So Jean-michel says a big "f you!" You ignorant SOB by eating during the rest of the interview 👌😂

Scribbles . Like a childs art. And now he famous cause Andy Warhol sponsored him . Not for me.

❤❤❤❤

It never fails. The people who envy you while you're alive will try to ruin your legacy & defame your character when you're gone. They do the same to Pac.

hahaha Diaz mad that Basquiat was donkey fucking his girlfriend and spit in his girlfriends face
