Jay Z’s ‘Picasso Baby’ Maarten January 15, 2014 Music Vorige week vrijdagavond debuteerde het zes uur durende optreden van Jay Z “Picasso Baby” in een New York kunstgalerij op HBO. De video werd geregisseerd door Mark Romanek en de officiële titel luidt, Picasso baby: A Performance Art Film . Tijdens het marathon optreden kwam Jay Z dichter tot zijn publiek wat zorgt voor een leipe sfeer. Onder zijn gasten bevinden zich Marina Abramovich (kunstenares), Judd Apatow (producent van o.a. The 40 Year Old Virgin) en Michael K. Williams (acteur). Vlak voor de film in premiere ging was Jay z te gast in de Real Time With Bill Maher show , om te praten over kunst, politiek en hip-hop. “The truth is, as far as hip-hop and arts, we were like cousins, if you think about those days when Fab Five Freddy was with Madonna and Basquiat and everything. We all went to those clubs, that’s when hip-hop was more underground. The arts and hip-hop really partied together. But when art started becoming part of the gallery, it was this separation. But we pretty much came up together.” Later was de rapper te gast in een depat met politicus Barney Frank “I don’t really want to scare America, but the real problem is there’s no middle class, so the gap between the have and have-nots is getting wider and wider. It’s gonna be a problem that no amount of police can solve. Because once you have that sort of oppression and that gap is widening, it’s inevitable that something is going to happen.” Post Views: 862 Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
