The performance video for “Picasso Baby” is out, and it doesn’t disappoint. Among the people at whom Jay Z raps are Judd Apatow, Adam Driver, Jemima Kirke, Jenna Lyons, Michael K. Williams, Rosie Perez, a smirky Alan Cumming, and, most notably, the performance artist Marina Abramović.
Director Mark Rominek had been inspired by Abramović’s piece “The Artist Is Present,” and pitched a version of the idea to Jay Z, who loved it. In the most remarkable of the bunch of one-on-one performances, she showed up to give her blessing.
If the video doesn’t satiate, here are some Vines.
