Last month, Jay Z performed his Magna Carta Holy Grail for a whopping six hours straight in New York's Pace Gallery, later promising to unveil the results as an HBO documentary called Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film. Well, it's now arrived.

The "performance art piece" — not "music video" — aired last night (August 2) on HBO, and you can now watch it below.

As previously mentioned, the event was attended by a vast array of A-listers, including Marina Abramović (who inspired the concept behind the piece), Judd Apatow, Alan Cumming, Rosie Perez, Jim Jarmusch, Wale and Michael K. Williams, among others.

The video performance art piece was directed by Mark Romanek (who also did the video for Hova's "99 Problems").
