Cole CuchnaAbout the episode
Dissect’s Cole Cuchna and The Ringer’s Charles Holmes unpack the long-awaited return of Clipse and their new album, Let God Sort Em Out. Was it worth the 15-year wait?
The duo share first impressions, break down their favorite lyrics and tracks, and discuss Pharrell’s full-album production and what makes Clipse still sound this sharp in their 40s and 50s.
They dissect the emotional depth of “The Birds Don’t Sing”; Kendrick Lamar’s controversial “Chains & Whips” verse; Tyler, The Creator’s dream feature; and how Pusha T and No Malice balance grief, flexing, and lyrical mastery in their most personal album yet.
