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

This is a perfect example of the type of music im talking about

Skee-Lo I Wish - YouTube

99% of the general public can relate to that song as far as nikkas go.
I never met a nikka that owned a maybach or even a ferrari for that matter but yet every artist feels the need to rap about this shyt. Cash out drops his 1st single lying about having a condo on his wrist knowing damn well he can't afford a cottage on his wrist let alone a condo. More nikkas can relate to not getting the finest girl in the club than they can the guy that leaves the club with 2 fine bytches every night. Even the nikkas you know lived a normal life prior to hiphop like Wiz and Big Sean feel the need to not keep it funky. Well I never listened to a Big Sean verse so I couldn't tell you but you get the gist of it.

i don't relate to that.

Because they think they'll be in that 1% someday. Those that are poor and vote republican are as dumb as the nikkas living in the slums with $200 shoes on.

People also listen to music to escape reality too. The problem is we have no balance now everything is one style.

How are these the same thing?

If they didnt spend that 200 on shoes. You think they wouldnt be in the slums?

If you have that kind of disposable income it should be spent on books for junior college which will lead to a way out the slums don't you think? Also the difference in rent from living in the slums without city housing or section 8 and living in a good city is about 300 dollars a month or less if you're renting. So why would you live in the slums with $200 kicks on when you could live in a nice city with cheaper shoes on?

Who the fukk could relate to Eminem? :heh:
Besides his 2-3 songs about his daughter he's probably the least "relateable" rapper out. Dude raps about raping broads, killing his mother, being the most famous redneck, murdering the mother of his daughter, murdering his close friends, catching VDs from the biggest pop stars, hiphop wars, being retarded and the list is long.

His moste relateable album is probably the one that sold the least 1000 copies? Infinite? And 1 of 30 songs or something is like the Rihanna song, something cats can relate to a bit.

Of course Em has a few songs, just like Rick Ross probably has a few songs.
But a majority of his catalogue is completely "unrelatable", not even he can relate to stashing Dr. Dre in his basement. As of lately he probably has a few more songs like Deja Vu if you're a junkie for example
