Drugs / Video / 206 Blue Sky Black Death & Nacho Picasso - "Kickin Out Windows"
Posted by Larry Mizell, Jr. on Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 3:08 PM
Right off the bat upon listening to Exalted, this Paul's Boutique-sampling joint stood out, especially when Nacho says the line about youngins shooting each other for Jordan 11's. The first BSBD & Nacho video not via They Shootin AKA BSBD's Kingston—rather, the talented Jon Jon Augustavo did this one, with a full complement of Moor Gang members making appearances. Ever have one of those kinda afternoons where it seems like it takes you & the crew forever just to leave the spot? This is exactly like that.

I saw Mr Picasso out and about town a few months back. He was the passenger in a car cruising by Woodland park. It was a great summer day. I thought to myself, "hey, that there is Nacho Picasso".
I dig this track and most of Exalted, for Nacho's thick flow and cadence and oddball rhymes, and BSBD's visceral, trippy beats.
I appreciate lines like these:
"Orange Porsche, I peel out like a kumquat"
"Loitering in front of stores like the Redbox"
"I cause carnage, Eddie Brock, Cletus Kasady"
I am not, however, a fan of lyrics like these:
"I just met the girl, but I act like the boss of her/
pussy so big if you blink you'll get lost in her/
translation: I'm thinkin' 'bout tossin' her/
hon's a nun but I'm thinkin' 'bout crossin' her"
