December 27, 2016 Dissect Needs YOUR Voice
We’re nearing the end of Dissect Season 1, and I need your help for the final episode of the season. Through e-mail, I’ve had the pleasure of conversing with some of you about To Pimp a Butterfly, music, or the podcast itself. I love hearing different points of view, and since you’ve heard my perspective for so long throughout this season, for the finale episode, I’d love to include yours.
If you’d like to be featured on the final episode, use the voice memo app on your iPhone or Voice Recorder on Android, and record around 30 seconds or so explaining your biggest takeaway from To Pimp a Butterfly and Season 1. How it’s influenced you, or what you love about it thematically or musically. Tap the share icon and e-mail your clip to [email protected].
Also, I’m really excited to announce the launch of the Dissect Podcast fundraiser. I began thinking about a fundraiser to help offset some of the costs for the podcast, but the more I thought about it, and the more asked myself “What Would Kendrick Do?” I’ve decided instead to donate any proceeds generated to the Bicentennial High School Music Program in Compton, California. This was Kendrick’s high school, and he’s since donated large sums of money to the music program in an effort to keep kids off the street and in the studio.
I’d love to show our appreciation to Kendrick by supporting his cause. There’s also some great donation perks, including Dissect T-shirts and an awesome Kendrick inspired hat by Riz Apparel.
I have a goal of raising $1,000. With so much negativity and divide in this country at the moment, let’s do something selfless and helpful.
You can make your donation at dissectpodcast.com.

Thanks, everyone. Dissect will continue next week. Talk to you then.

November 29, 2016 Ye’s Cry for Help: My Kanye West Sacramento Experience
Kendrick, I’ma let you finish, but I just saw one of the strangest concerts of all time.
We’re interrupting our regularly scheduled episode of Dissect for a special piece about my experience at the now infamous Kanye West show in my hometown Sacramento, California.
This episode was adapted from a print piece I wrote called “What We Missed at the Kanye West Sacramento Experience.”
It’s a piece about empathy, disguised as a piece about Kanye West. I hope you enjoy.
We’ll be back next week to continue our season long examination of Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly.
