Listen to Pablo Skywalkin’s “Why You Kiss”: The Ones
Pablo Skywalkin: “Why You Kiss”
For over a decade Pablo Skywalkin’s cracked voice and offbeat flow has made him one of the oddballs of Detroit’s street rap scene. But these days I have no idea what’s going on with him. He’s ditched the True Religion Canadian tuxedo he sported in early videos like “Flex on Em” and now rocks wool sweaters and oversized spectacles that make him look like Norbit. No idea why, but he seems to be having a good time in the video for “Why You Kiss,” terrorizing a commercial bookstore by doing a wacky two-step in the aisles. The song is pretty silly too—it’s off his recent mixtape where he raps a bunch of nonsense on handclap-centric Certified Trapper type beats. I’m especially into “Why You Kiss” because the lyrics have him railing against the dating choices of the girl he’s trying to hit on, and the hook goes, “Bitch, why you kiss that broke nigga on his lips.” Too bad Pablo doesn’t do a great job of explaining what she should find so desirable about him, but I suppose somewhere, somehow, Mr. Rogers-core makes you a catch.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
