Frank Ocean dropped in on the Genius lyric page for “Slide” to clarify the meaning behind the line “buy that boy with a pipe” in the song’s intro:

[Boy with a Pipe is] a Picasso painting that sold for so much money.

Ocean’s annotation refers to Pablo Picasso’s 1905 painting Garçon à la Pipe, which sold in 2004 for $104 million, making it one of the most expensive paintings ever sold.
