Why don't more rappers make music the average guy can relate to?

because most of rap's audience had no father figures in their lives and like to look at these rappers as such..
However, I do enjoy rappers that rap about your every day shyt...J. Cole, Kendrick, Lupe, Big KRIT etc etc

Realist quote in the thread.....seem like they rather hear "Iam that nikka" rap then "just your average guy" rap
So it's quite common to be a millionaire as well, maybe that's average too?
I can't relate to being a fukking junkie on pills, crack, heroin, meth and shyt, you're a fukking super loser if you are and younger than 30-40. Using drugs to get wasted is another thing like popping a molly, or smoking weed to relax, or having a beer that shyt is average guy for someone in their 20s.
Being addicted to pills and shyt which he only discusses briefly on his 2 latest albums on songs like Deja Vu and maybe 2-3 other songs out of 40 songs. The rest was shyt like
It's my sector homosexual dissector
Come again rewind selector
I said nice rectum I had a vasectomy hector
So you can't get pregnant if I bisexually reck ya
Hannibal Lector into guy sex and I bet ya I tantalize ya in the less than five seconds I get ya
They said once bitten n twice shy
We lie next to the guy
With nine ecstasy pills and five extra
Boxes of ripped condoms and quantities why yes sir I took the rest of the lunester pills from my dresser
It's my kinda vibe what else shud I try lester

I feel like I'm walking a tight rope, without a circus net
I'm popping percocets, I'm a nervous wreck
I deserve respect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check
Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
Full of venom and rage
Especially when I'm engaged

I'm absolutely positive that I know more about Eminem than you ever will know. Unless you befriend him. The fact that you are referring to what he was doing in 1999 which also happens to be the only relatable song on the whole fukking album just proves my point (okey If I had is quite relatable). Should I post verses from the other 14 songs?
But just pulling out 1 song per album, and say HEY he's relatable is like saying that Gucci Mane is a love/R&B rapper, Nas is a club music rapper, Jay-z is a socially conscious rapper and on. Cause they got a few of those joints.

Mannnnn please...
nikkas get old and forget they bumped all types of superhero rap in their day. If it wasn't songs about who had the most money, it was about havin' the best girls, or bein the hardest nikka alive, or bein the illest MC, or being the most of whatever the topic was. That's what rap at its core has always been... 'I'm the shyt'. Rap at its core has never been 'eh, I'm OK'
This thread is wrong from the first post, because a song like 'I Wish' was an oddity in its time anyway. It's not like every rapper was out makin songs about girls they couldn't get, or stuff they didn't have. Matter fact, most of the top rappers around that time were about either gettin' theirs or havin' theirs already- not just wishing on what they wanted. So it's kinda a weird example to use.
And also, hip-hop would be boring as fukk if it was just rappers making songs the so-called "average guy" can relate to- I can't speak for everyone but most rappers have some sense of ego, confidence and sensationalism in their music. A lotta rappers just ain't cool with bein' "average", and neither are their listeners. It's like goin' to the movies and watching a movie about a muhfukka going to movies... you don't wanna see that shyt. You wanna laugh, be entertained, see something interesting. Maybe some shyt you can understand, but nothing just middle-of-the-road and mediocre. That ain't where (the majority of) rap is, nor has ever been.
Even an example like 'The Message' is kinda a bad example, because while it did represent a new corner in rap to where people could cover those types of subjects, it's not like that's what every rapper was doing. There was just as many (and many more) songs about being the best, having money, and gettin' girls. I don't know why people think these things shouldn't exist or should be minimized in hip-hop, when they're not even minimized topics in everyday conversation.

You're wrong. When "I Wish" came out it was not an oddity because right after that song went off the radio something like "Back in the days" by Ahmad or "Everyday People" by Arrested Development or "Keep Ya Head Up" by Pac would come on after it. It was more diverse or variety on the airwaves back then. My point is why is only club music or fictional music being played on the airwaves? When did we as a ppl only accept that kind of music from mainstream radio?
