If you draw, better be Picasso. After Jay-Z’s appearance on Real Time, came the premiere of his video, “Picasso Baby”. The clip was directed by Mark Romanek at the Pace art gallery in NYC. Cameos include, well, damn near everyone. Download Magna Carta Holy Grail here.
#Newrules
This is what you call bringing art to life. Jay Z New Rules. Thats why he is the greatest ever.
Sure the energy in the room for the performance was crazy but the footage shown was just meeehhhh
this was super dope
Boo boo. Tight concept but I don’t see how this is a video for a song. More like a mini documentary.
this is too dope for earth.
yeah this is an awesome video. people were really getting into it. lots of different ages and all sorts of different people dancing and celebrating rap music.
Dat energy…

[…] New Video: Jay-Z “Picasso Baby” […]
No Jay haters in RR’s Forum? Where y’all @? Asleep already? Cry babies, can’t stay up late already?
This video was dope tbh….
U can feel that energy throughout the entire performance….
That’s all I got 2 say
probably the best Jay video… well that cause might be cause im extremely high… hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dope video. Can’t Shout.
@J.Dot that’s Marina Abramovi. She’s a world renowned performing artist
Maybe other comments will shed light on this video. But I’m not there.
I understand it. Just don’t like it much.
Video was ehhhh…not really feelin it. Too many white folks in this video. But I guess its #NewRules.
I’m a huge Jay-Z fan but this video was horrible just like that mediocre ass CD
huh! i’m on the phone. jay-z new video, that shit light.
B.DOT IS SUCH A CORNBALL!!!! I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I GOTTA TELL THIS FOOL THAT HIS FACE AIN’T BUILT FOR THE CAMERA!!!!
……OH, AND ARE U PART OF MMG OR THE ROC??? MAKE UP YOUR MIND U WHORE!!!!! HA!!!!
SIDEBAR: DOPE VID/DOCUMENTARY!!!! GOOD SHIT JAY!!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Ok video NOT good & not bad ok
@ 1234, Actually it is the other way round. The difference between Jay and Ye is, he has to come yap about his grievances to the public.
Example: Jay Z recorded Oceans over a year ago and speaks on Billie Holidays Strange Fruit. Kanye then sample Strange Fruit on New Slaves and Blood on the Leaves and releases his album ahead of MCHG. If the tables were turned, he’d be out crying about how Jay stole his idea.
Chill with your stannery, this video wan nothing kanyesque…
well,if this was just a music video,i think it’s wack, but it says it’s a performance art film,so i guess it gets a pass.
#NewRules! #DopeVideo! #PicassoBaby #MCHG! THAT IS ALL LOVE RIGHT THERE! EVERYONE TOGETHER AND JUST DOIN THEIR OWN THING WHILE THE KING DROPPED HIS LYRICS! #Ilikeit!Ilikeitalot!!!!
lmao y’all niggas call any and everything amazing or genius

DEM NIGGAS IN L.A CATCHED THE HOLY GHOST
KING KANYE
stupid dope …. nothing like wats out here …… fitted the piccasso theme perfect ………
Video seemed aight..i was expectin more out if it..more people doin random shit but the old lady that thru jigga off his flow ..did it for me lol
And all the unenlightened ones will call this “art”.. what a joke…
THIS IS STUPID DOPE!
I’m more hyped about this than the album actually.
Hov’s team is not joking AT ALL!!
I like any video where i see people genuinely enjoying each other. That’s harder to capture than people think #respect
Ok video but the actual music is just WACK JUICE. Glory hunters will eat up anything Jay give em.
AMAZIN…..fan or not

hipster Jay Z
“Simply ingenious an masterful”….He pushes the envelope too further the culture. Do you not see his vision?….. “Futher proof the gene pool could use a little more chlorine” #Facts
You ignorant Stans are beyond hilarious
Let’s bypass the fact that Jay Z who’s “pushing the culture” did a show for rich people and their kids in a place that the hood doesn’t go to or can afford to unless they “know someone”
Stick in the token dumb B Dot shot of him being a good servant boy & throwing up the ROC to appease the dumb fellas in the hood into the cauldron & you have a perfect mix of a rich guy who can only name drop the two famous painters ( who have nothing to do w/each other) names trying to pass himself as an “artist”
Well, at least one of you may actually take time to learn about Picasso & perhaps other painters & eras of painting , but I doubt it.
This is nothing more than a lift of Marina’s previous work which in itself is a gratuitous piece of self-indulgence done to give herself attention for rich people to stare at. EXACTLY what Jay Z did.
Hilarious
“The Culture”
I don’t recall goofy upper west side Apartments blasting “it takes a nation of millions” but I guess I could be wrong

@p0is0nedkoola stay reaching. the video is dope. I’m sure if you ever met jay-z you’d act like a groupie. LOL @ your 184 followers on Twitter. Ain’t no one thinking about you.
@poisonedkoola
u do know u can go to any of the pace galleries for free right?
and the one that threw off jay was not marina it was sandra gering she runs several art galleries in NY
I liked hiphop better when it wasn’t for everybody.
@HIP-Hop
Take the hyphen off your name Stan
& Yes, I am emasculating by having 184 followers. It’s important to me & the legacy I leave behind when I hit that last breath.
Oh , YN/Rob Markman/Aqua all follow me & chat w/me about hip hop

Real Talk….this is so different and refreshing for a hip hop video. I had to watch it….think about what I’d just witnessed. Process that and then decide whether I liked it or not.
Ok…..I like it. I’m not gonna say #New Rules because it would be cliche at this juncture. Damn….I just said it, didn’t I? Oh well…PICASSO BABY!!! Dope, Period, no comma.
A room full of NYC art elite + JAYZ = Hot garbage. It was so shitty that JAYZ peeled out 2 seconds after he finished. I want my 10 minutes back. The SNL JAYZ performance of shows his real talent, he crushed it then.
