He claims Jean-Michel Basquiat's art is not particularly high quality and only achieved fame due to his identity as a young black artist in a predominantly white art world.

“people have this affinity for that guy even though what he made was only revolutionary because he was like a black artist in new york when it was all white hoity-toity outside of that his stuff wasn't that good basquiat's stuff wasn't that good”

He believes the documentary In & Of Itself is a brilliant and life-affirming piece of performance art.

“it's very authentic and original but it's also very life-affirming and it's just well done yes yeah and it's like it's just it you can tell you know they say people say this a lot about um you're not good at whatever your art is until you hit your ten thousand hour mark”
