Red on the wall, Basquiat when I paint

Meaning

One would think that gunfire-fueled blood spatter would look more like a Pollock

Also red because of his affiliation with the bloods.

Rick Ross says he is to rap what Basquiat is to painting…a genius.

According to his recent article in XXL, Ross has a tattoo of Basquiat on his leg (somewhere).
