Dissect DJs

DJ JAG brings us this throwback from the 90s that may just contain the most F'd up story in 90's R&B history, as Castle learns of it for the first time. From the product of Boyz II Men, we got Uncle Sam (yes that's really the name he went with) and his soulful jam "I Don't Ever Want to See You Again".

We throw it back to the most bonding track in Castle & JAG history - Teena Marie's 1981 classic "Square Biz". 

Hear the back story of why lil' 5'1, 100 pounds of fun Teena Marie A.K.A Casper/Shorty/Lil' Bit/Vanilla Child created the ultimate dance party mix for all social situations. We're talkin' Square Biz, we're gonna hip you to the Tee!

It's about damn time the Dissect DJs finally broke down a Lizzo jam, with her 2019 takeover hit "It's About Damn Time". 

Does Lizzo make you move? Do you worry about what the homies say if they find out Lizzo makes you move? And do we have enough fire hip hop dance jams in the modern era of music? Castle and JAG discuss it all, and it's about damn time!

We pay tribute to the late legendary pop queen Tina Turner by breaking down her most iconic jam from 1984 "What's Love Got to Do with It". We all know the song, but what does it actually mean? We put on our dissecting gloves and try to scope it out. What does love got to do with it? 

We've finally hit Episode 100! And what better way to countdown to triple digits then by dissecting the epic sound of the 80's that is Europe's "The Final Countdown". We try to breakdown what it is that Europe is really counting down to, learn a little about who Europe is, and get into some of our favorite versions of final countdowns. Let's rock to level 100!

We're back to break down Nicki Minaj's 2022 smash "Super Freaky Girl" and compare how it stacks up to the OG version- Rick James's "Super Freak", and even throw in a little MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" to see who did it best. Is Nicki really the baddest around? Let's dissect and find out!

The Dissect DJs are back with a brand new season! Kicking off with a breakdown of one of the most unstoppable jams of 2023 - Coi Leray's "Players". We discuss the origins of the track dating back to Grand Master Flash's "The Message", the historic nature of this classic beat, and if girls can be players too.

We conclude 80's month by breaking down one of the all-time throwback 80's bangers: The Clash - Rock the Casbah! Did you know the heavy backstory that this song gets into? Did you know the extremely lame story that this song almost got into? We get into all of it and break it down accordingly, alongside our new mascot Dottie!

We're going back to 80's month with a review of one of the most classic throwback sounds in music history with Tears for Fears "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". Does everybody really want to rule the world? Let's discuss!

We finally close out 80's Month with one of the all time throwback rock bangers as we break down The Clash - "Rock the Casbah", which not only was monumentally influential in the 80's punk rock scene, but it turns out is one of the all-time undercover dark stories that speaks on a much deeper issue than we ever realized. Hear us dissect the deeper meaning behind this absolute legend of a track as we finally round home on the long, colorful road that has been 80's Month! *queue the 80's synth soundbite*.
