Remember when nikkas use to pretend to be into stuff like Basquiat?

Never got the Basquiat hype
You talking about the talent?

because the fact he was black, from BK and the crown was being used as cool branding and he was being name dropped by Jay z and others made it make sense

Also you had a bunch of 25-30 year old that were looking for something that a was different speed than clubs so being in a cool looking spot socializes seemed like the move

the only problem is that it wasn’t fun and hookah spots took over

Basquiat art is amazing but the hype was ridiculous during that time period. Some people are genuinely into art but at that time a lot of people were frontin like they art snobs.

art walks were poppin before that time period tho
