Behind The Scenes: Jay Z Takes Over NYC Art Gallery For Picasso Video

Where else would Jay Z shoot the video for the second track on his Magna Carta album? At the Pace Gallery in New York City of course! They say art imitates life and this track has taken the saying literally. Jay Z shut down the gallery for a 6-hour rendition of “Picasso Baby.” The live art show featured HOV in the middle of the gallery looking clean in a white button up, black pants and heavy chain. Aspiring artist, music professionals, and other celebs looked on and even got to serenade Mr. Carter in-between takes. DC’s own Wale and Taraji P. Henson were spotted up in the mix. Jigga is seen spitting the bars to the Timbaland-produced cut and mingling with fans. Check out behind the scenes footage from the shoot courtesy of Vine and Instagram clips below.
