Asake - Basquiat (Official Video)
Asake, a rising artist, has released the official music video for his song "Basquiat". The video, directed by TG Omori, pays tribute to the late American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Asake’s lyrics and visuals reflect the struggles and triumphs of Basquiat’s life and art.
The video opens with Asake standing in front of a mural of Basquiat, setting the tone for the tribute. As the song progresses, we see Asake in different settings, surrounded by graffiti and artwork reminiscent of Basquiat’s signature style. The video also features clips of Basquiat’s paintings, giving viewers a glimpse into his creative world.
Asake’s lyrics are a mix of English and Yoruba, adding a unique and personal touch to the song. He raps about the challenges of pursuing one’s dreams and the importance of staying true to oneself, much like Basquiat did in his own life. The song is a powerful reminder to never give up on your dreams, no matter how difficult the journey may be.
The video ends with Asake standing in front of a portrait of Basquiat, paying his respects to the artist who continues to inspire generations. "Basquiat" is not just a song, but a tribute to a legendary artist and a celebration of his legacy.
In my opinion, Asake has done an excellent job of honoring Basquiat’s memory through his music. The video is visually stunning and captures the essence of Basquiat’s art and life. Asake’s lyrics are thought-provoking and showcase his talent as a rapper. "Basquiat" is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates good music and art.
