MUSIC - Picasso Baby

Jay Z premiered yesterday "Picasso Baby: A performance Art Film", and I'm a fan! Already loved the new album Magna Carta Holy Grail - although there were also many dislikes - and yes I couldn't wait for that much discussed art film. Jay Z explains in it how related art and music (here Hip Hop) is and that concerts are pretty much performance art. Rap is an expression like art and Jay Z feels that rap is thinking out loud.
The fact that he performes his song "Picasso Baby" at a New York city art gallery full of energy and interaction with the invitees, makes it not just an ordinary music video. The limits of an average music video are totally exceeded, allowing that we can now talk about a short film.
In addition were most of the invitees popular actors, artists, fashion designers, performers, etc., (including 
Diana Widmaier Picasso, the granddaughter of the great artist himself) the group was small and made it an intimate performance.
