i think that kaliko is tight. being "played out" doesnt mean that he isn't a dope artist. being played out means that he is used too much. i havent sat down and thought about whether i thought kaliko was played out or not, but people are just saying that it is becomming tradition if you are from kansas city to have kaliko sing a hook, and it is becomming a usual thing, instead of a musical experiment. no matter how you feel at the end of the day, you cant take nothing away from kaliko, he is raw, and i agree his solo shit goes hard.
