Taking a route akin to “All Falls Down,” Dizzy Wright‘s “The Perspective” is a rumination on why and how our generation slid into a deep self-obsession. Dizzy really shows off his wisdom, not just in being able to break down each piece of what’s wrong (the opening line, “Everything she do strategic” is loaded with level-headed analysis of the average “Instagram girl”) but in doing so without being mean-spirited or dismissive. “The Perspective” is surprisingly fair, even as it expresses distaste for the selfie-obsessed lifestyle: “I told her I wasn’t a fan but I understand just who you are / Do yo’ thang / I’m a man of flaws and I ain’t finna judge you for your ways.” This is a cut above what normally passes for progressive thinking, this is real human relation.
