I had a web chat with Dr. Max Stone recently and he asked me if I was familiar with “Perspective Rhyme”.  A term he says he coined himself for the practice.  Dr. Max Stone has been practicing the art of “Perspective Rhyme” since the late 90s.   Perspective Rhyme is an advanced method of writing lyrics.  The average emcee does not even attempt it, he said.  Especially now a days… “Back during the golden age Hip Hop era” (Defined as middle of 80s to late 90s)  “it was more common place for real emcees to pick up a mic, more common place for pro rainbow rappers to get kicked off stage, and was also more common to off the head freestyle in cyphers, digging through crates , etc. A lot of the shit these younger cats are doing would not fly at all during the golden age ”

In the late 90s a well known real emcee hip hop group called Organized Konfusion (Artist/Emcee Pharoah Monch was from this group) released an album called “Equinox”.  On this album, a song called “hate” sticks out.  Dr. Max called this song a perfect example of perspective rhyme.  In the song “hate” Pharaoh Monch and his partner in rhyme at the time , both rap from the perspective of a Klan member.   The song “hate” does an amazing job of exposing the mentality behind race based discrimination from Klan members.  Although by no means is Organized Konfusion a member of a terrorist organization such as the Klan!  However, if you didn’t understand perspective rhyme you would think that Organized Konfusion might be in the Klan if you heard the song out of context.  Another album he said to check out is Sticky Fingaz – Autobiography of Kirk Jones.  This entire album is perspective rhyme, he said.  As well as Prince Paul “A Prince among thieves”.

In 2016, Mental Wakeup staff at the time (including hip hop emcees Dr. Max Stone and Epicsode of MWC) were researching the threat and dangers of upcoming technologies.  .  A variety of topics were discussed in both articles (old mental wakeup website was lost in 2017, completely rebuilt in 2020) and Mental Wakeup Talk Radio broadcasted on internet.   This included “drones, service bots, osh bots, security bots, darpa bots, military weapons, 5G, silent weapons,  social network engineering, tracking and censorship as well as much more” – Dr Max Stone going on to say “There were over 50 hours of recorded reports by Mental Wakeup in 2015/2016.  After discussing these topics Dr. Max Stone conceptualized a story based around various bots as a wakeup to technology series which consisted of Service Bot (Retail) | Sex Bot (Personal Life) | Security Bots (Robocops).
