EMPATHY

Unglossy: Decoding Brand in Culture

The men discuss violence against the Asian community, the latest in the Derek Chauvin trial, and the need for more empathy to combat “America as usual.” Also in this episode, Lupe gives us the scoop on his April 15 virtual show honoring the 15th anniversary of Food & Liquor — a nod to the Food & Liquor tour that got shut down during COVID — and the April 12 NFT drop with Origin Protocol. Shout to DJ Double O and Dame Dash Studios! The dudes also check in on the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame fan vote leaderboard, discuss the controversy surrounding Lil Nas X and the release of his music video for “Montero (Call Me Be Your Name)” and — finally — unpack how mental health is trivialized in “The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel.”
