I'm Gen-X and Basquiat was more than half a decade older than me. Keep in mind that he passed away in the late 80s. He would be 64 yrs of age today. He didn't get to see the 90s or the 21st century, which is mind-blowing if you stop to think about the generations of visual artists and musicians he continues to inspire. I had the privilege of knowing him in real-time, even though we didn't live in the same city. From 1985 to 1987, we had a snail mail correspondence of letters which included original drawings of his. This was when the Internet did not quite yet exist, Wi-Fi was still just a dream in those days. Cellphones existed, but the technology was primitive and not widely available. I have moved dozens of times since those days, and I don't have a single one of those original hand drawings he shared with me. Even with everything going on in his life, he was really just a misunderstood kid at heart. I was supposed to go visit him in New York the week that he left this earthly dimension. His spirit is still here, even if his body isn't.

@alishadaniels4815 I'm sure worth a lot to some people...but priceless to me. Nobody would believe it, but I wouldn't have sold them. Some people in this world still have honor and integrity. Just the fact that I no longer have them is why I even told the story. I wouldn't want some crazed fan, or just some greedy person, trying to find me so they could break in my crib and steal them. I wouldn't have said anything.

He was a nice kid worked for Pizza when we were younger. He was a homeless Haitian kid with a Puerto Rican father who abandoned him. Andy did him dirty in the end bc of peer pressure, jealousy and racism. This is a sad story for us who really knew John Biscuit. That's what we called him when he was painting on Vanderbilt Ave, Brooklyn. R.I.P. JB❤

I remember him from hanging out in the East Village at CBGBS and The Mudd Club. He was always doing something experimental with music and film. He was the DJ in Blondie's video Rapture. He was always staying at different women's apartments before his art took off because he was homeless. He always had a girlfriend. He was a graffiti artist back then and he would always tag all over the city using the name SAMO. Then his art took him to iconic status and the white racist media was always messing with him and mischaracterizing him. A lot of it was jealousy because he was one of the only black people in those wealthy spaces at a time when whites wouldn't even allow black people in their clubs. I remember those days.

No it was because once again he was being maligned by another racist reporter. These white reporters were always trying to reduce him and treat him like he was an animal. He was sick of it. They were racist and jealous because he was one of the only black artists being lauded by these rich whites. Back then they wouldn't allow black people to even be in those white yuppie clubs. So of course they had to target him in any way they could. He was an artist in residence but of course they tried to mischaracterize him and say he was locked in a basement. They would never say that to a white artist. It was ridiculous.
