Art has nothing to do with how educated you are. It's about how the art makes you feel. It's a visceral thing. There are many styles of art. Everyone gravitates towards a specific aesthetic, Swizz clearly has his. One man's trash is another man's treasure (and if you consider the price tags on these things, they are essentially treasures). I want you all to look at Mark Rothko paintings that fetch up to north of $150 million, it will make you feel that many of those people who acquire them are uneducated, yet they went to Ivy League schools. It boils down to my initial point: It's about viscerality. Not about what you necessarily visually see upon the moment of encountering the piece. Leave Swizz alone, he is on the right track. Not only that, he is making investments that will always ensure that he will have financial wealth (and be able to experience the joys of having majestic human creations around him and his family). Stop being miserable, dull, dim witted and ignorant people who hide behind keyboards in order to be a dick with no sufficeable point to make. Shut up and watch if you don't have anything sensible to say. Morons.
I hate to say it.... but some people are really triggered by seeing someone involved in hiphop talk about art and artist of color... Like? why are yall even mad at this video? sit down
Swizz gets it.....Hov gets it......its about being a custodian of your cultural and how deadly important that is to the future as well as the past and present of said culture
Swizz beats seems like a different person... nehow I don't see a negative about his truth on how art collecting is for him. Can't never satisfy the sideline critics... lol
What i don't get is why are you selling these pieces if you're never gonna be able to buy them again. Doesnt make sense unless you're strapped for cash or are tired of the pieces. I never understood that. I wouldn't anything i truly loved. So he obviously doesn't love it like he claims to.
This man is astonished by nothing. I think he is just a wannabe. Collective what you love.. seeing him be influenced by nothing, seeing him having to want to show what others would like to see as art in his home shows you exactly where this mans heart is when it comes to art.
Love what you do You Just Wana Hate For no Reason nothing of What you Said Made Sense .. He cant think for himself because of Something you Accused him of but he Himself said he Didnt do that Anymore so What Was the Point You Piece of Shit Your name Says love What You Do.. He Loves what he Does Whats The Problem im Done Wasting my Time your just a Worthless Piece of Shit on the internet Hating in The Comment Section
Who are you to say this???? wtf... he just said he collects what he likes... He has work from KErry JAmes MArshall on his wall lol bruh come on! How can you say he has no eye
This is easily one of the dumbest comments ever uttered where art is concerned. Everyone has a eye for art. How/why is this? Because everyone knows what they like. You don't have to have a degree in Art History to appreciate art. That's not to say that a art education isn't valuable. It is. It gives you the ability to understand art from a historical point of view as well as a understanding of the context of the work. But beyond that, everyone has to decide for themselves what and why they are drawn to a work. I have no interest in Jackson Pollack's work. Does that mean its let's important or valuable? Of course not. There are people that love his work. If you buy according to what the critics deem important, you'll grow to resent the work, because you are not buying it because you enjoy it.
The "hype point'? Is that where you run around in a pink raincoat and ripped jeans acting like you really have something to say when in fact you don't? Is that it?
He's saying that when he started collecting, he was following whatever was assumed to be trendy, but now he tries not to do that anymore. What are you dissatisfied about?
MyAkachi "run around in a pink raincoat and ripped jeans acting like you really have something to say when in fact you don't" That. How did you miss it?
gnarmarv2 Wow... imagine you using the word "ramble" in that comment... Talk about projection, honey...lol.. p.s. - how 'broke' am I, simpleton...lol...?
salmonline, Why are you assuming that what he says isn't worth saying and isn't valued? Your comment says more about your personal state of mind than his, the pleasure you take in hating Swizz Beatz is disgusting.
Why do "people of colour" actually have to mention people of colour,,,,please move on. I thought we would be talking art here, stop being so stereotyped,,, for the love of god ,,sorry art.

Awesome interview
Inspired and heartfelt collecting, thanks for sharing
I did not see price tags under Victoria Beckham's art that was shown in another segment of this series - why was it done here? Nice collection btw.
I like his pink coat with a back print. What's a brand? Who did it?

Point of break off with you and all connected persons.
This man is astonished by nothing. I think he is just a wannabe. Collective what you love.. seeing him be influenced by nothing, seeing him having to want to show what others would like to see as art in his home shows you exactly where this mans heart is when it comes to art.

Love what you do Because He Changed His Mindset ? Wtf so People Cant Learn and Grow ?

Love what you do You Just Wana Hate For no Reason nothing of What you Said Made Sense ..

He still has no eye for true art. He's not educated or informed enough to truly see.
Careful.. the snowflake patrol will be on you any minute now...lol...
MsPark troll elsewhere, shit-bag...lol...

Most collectors don't have an "eye" they just buy. At least he likes what he buys and it's not an investment.
The "hype point'?
Is that where you run around in a pink raincoat and ripped jeans acting like you really have something to say when in fact you don't?
Is that it?

MyAkachi "run around in a pink raincoat and ripped jeans acting like you really have something to say when in fact you don't"
That. How did you miss it?
@MyAkachi, @salmonline is one of those broke haters who ramble about everything and anyone who tries to genuinely enjoy the beauties of art
gnarmarv2 Wow... imagine you using the word "ramble" in that comment...
