Being a player/mack gotta return to mainstream Hip Hop again

It's gonna happen breh. The trend looks like things are moving toward content that is more relatable to a regular person. We're already seeing some of the blowback against the "I'm rich/I'm a thug/I got bytches" with last years charts.
Macklemore took rap music and put those "Hey I'm just a regular white guy who loves everybody" messages, and the fans responded.
Lorde put out her manifesto against materialistic music and had a hit.
Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake put out records that sound like throwbacks to old R&B about simple topics like love, partying, meeting women, and had hits.
Kendrick and J cole on the black artist side, are now having more success or equal success to the Kanye's, Jay-Z's, and Rick Ross' of the world.
The writing is on the wall. The public is over that shyt.
Its the people ego's that are refusing to see this. With all these Young Thugs and shyt going on in 2014, the negative draw and its "excitement" is really beginning its final chapter of dominance. People refuse to see this until they see the likes of more Kendricks, J Coles, and even KRIT's shyt going multi-platinum and changing a generation of thinking and see the change.
Let these shytty ass rappers have the time remaining. Cause once the transition is complete, then they will starve.

Crooked Smile had promise, but the line that basically ruined this song IMO is "I got smart, I got paper, and I got bytches too"
And it's not just because of the fact that it's kind of out of place and contradictory to the songs message, but it's also just a bad line, extremely corny.
who said anything about deadbeats?Every great man was a mack, stop hating.
To be a mack, you gotta be a rolling stone.
Young Thug doesn't rap about what you think he does...
being a mack is all about integrity so u obviously got this term mixed up with deadbeat father
But let him get the shine for the short time remaining. He ain't built to last. @KillSpray you right, there is a silent rebellion of newer artists that oppose excessive materialism in the mainstream last year. Kid Cudi has a show of diverse people screaming "fukk materialism" on the regular.
For the black artists that want to make MORE money and a longer lasting career, they better hop on the anit-ratchet, anti materialism wave that is quickly gaining momentum.

newsflash
those artists you mentioned are created in labs only to ripoff classics like marvin gaye.

none of that shyt is organic and its the labels version of the "relatable down to earth act"
fukk all of em (I like lordes song tho)

I couldn't agree more
Breh, most of the classic Motown music was also created in "labs" sometimes even in an assembly line style.
In the end, we judge music by how it sounds, not by how its made tho

So we can only listen to music about one topic now? There can't be a place for different types of rap when you feeling different ways?
Yeah, there can be all kinds of rap, but none about cliche ways about bullshyt topics.

Why not exactly tho
Why not exactly tho
I mean, the well rounded album is now a lost art to the listeners and people are mentally conditioned to accept anything that sounds good in the clubs.

Every rapper shouldn't have to be well rounded just good at what they do. And they could all rap about different shyt and depending on what your in the mood to listen to you could listen to said rappers and not just listen to one guy all the time.
Plus some people might actually like what sounds good in the club and not be mentally conditioned.
