If you don’t like Basquiat, you’re a racist.
So, call me a racist.
His paintings and drawings were crap.
Same with Cy Twombly, Philip Rothko, and all those other crap-peddlers.
Warhol, too.
Warhol peddled crap.
And for a few years, Basquiat was the crap he peddled.
Philip Seymour Hoffman did heroin with Basquiat.
Basquiat died from a heroin overdose.
So, without Philip doing heroin with him, Basquiat might have lived a few more years.
Making more crap paintings and drawings.
So, thank you, Philip.
But then, he died of a drug overdose.
So, fuck you, Basquiat.
Killing a real talent.
