Watch: Jay Z "Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film (HBO Video)

Diected by Mark Roamek"Picasso Baby" is a really really nice piece of forward thinking Hip Hop art that would have fit in perfectly with Basquiat and Blondie baxk in the early 80's.

 However,  I will say the one person who is not getting credit for this is Kanye West. He didn't have anything to do with the video, but his visual influences over the past years has starting to effect on artists from Big Sean to his "Watch The Throne" partner Jay Z.



The start studded video featured visual artist  Marina Abramovic,  actor Alan Cumming, actress Taraji P. Henson, hip-hop personality Fab Five Freddy, writer Judd Apatow, "Girls" Adam Driver, rapper Wale, fashion designer Cynthia Rowley and actress Rosie Perez and star of "The Wire" and "Boardwalk Empire" Michael K. Williams.
