Rollie Pemberton, a.k.a. Cadence Weapon returns to discuss his new album Forager and his new book of socio-cultural criticism essays, Ways of Listening: Building a Deeper Relationship with Music in the Streaming Era, the parallels between his writing on his album and his book, his renewed interest in crate digging for records and thrifting for great clothes, resisting passive cultural consumption during the age of the algorithm, the Juno Awards, Drake, and Canada’s confidence conundrum, being both the “Black Ian Curtis” and the “Black Bryan Ferry,” working with producer Junia-T and live musicians to rediscover his love of hip-hop and rapping, special Forager market events, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1071: Buck 65

Post author By vish
Post date February 26, 2026

Buck 65 makes a rare reappearance to discuss his excellent new album, Do Not Bend, musical brevity, Joe Pernice inspiring him to start an insightful Substack, writing jokes and stories that wind up as rhymes, befriending the late great Biz Markie and hanging out backstage at a Beastie Boys show, meeting Lou Reed but being low key about their creative kinship, acquiring the four-track he once used in the mid-1990s to create new music but also incorporating Ableton, obvious and oblique pop culture references, when you don’t know where the words come from, why it’s healthy to listen to your own work, difficult time signatures for rappers, a loving celebration of vinyl record culture, many future plans, a hidden phone number, and much more.

1 Comment on All Things Konsidered: ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ by Clipse

My son, who is 13, and I have both been rather excited about the new album by Clipse coming out and when it finally did on July 11, Let God Sort ‘Em Out lived up to the hype. We’ve been listening to it and analyzing it so much, we decided to do a pod about it, so, please enjoy listening to a dad and his son talk about a rap record they like and some of the stories behind Let God Sort ‘Em Out.

Featuring music produced by Levon Khanna.
