That's because the people that listen to country generally don't want creative or deep or lyrically complex songs, they just want something they can relate to, or something that speaks the truth about some subject, whether it's drinking beer, beating women, or your dog dying. I have a lot of respect for Country Music, because out of all the music forms, in my opinion, it's the most real, nobody gives a shit if people don't like it, or if people think it's corny, or over simplistic, they just say what they feel, and it's as simple as that. Typical country song, biggest hit of last year:
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffet
This Lunchbreak is Gonna take all afternoon
And half the night
Tommorow, I know they'll be hell to pay
Hey, but that's alright
I ain't had a day off now in over a year
My jamaican vacation's gonna start right here
If the phone's for me, you can tell 'em I just sailed away
Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past 12, but I don't care
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
I could pay off my tab
Pour myself in a cab
and be back to work before 2
at a moment like this, I can't help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffet do?
Buffet: I'd say, pour me something tall and strong
make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve, but I don't care
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
Who can't relate to that, that's what songwriting was meant to be, emotional, connected with people. Not "I hate a bitch, fuck you bitch, I got money, Bling Bling I got a nice car and you don't, Fuck You, I'm stronger than you, Get more ass than you've ever seen, I make hits, I'm living with millions of dollars and you're listening wanting to be me, I'm gonna shoot you in the ass when I see you ooh lets do drugs together I do a lot of drugs and I'm high all the time but yet I'm still the best basketball player alive I've got a big dick and your woman wants me fuck you, did I mention I was going to try and shoot you in the ass?"
One day some rapper, some where, will learn.

that's all on point
i was talking to this girl the other day and some how we started talking about music, she said name a good song and the first thing that popped in my head was "Check Yourself by Ice cube"
she then told me my song was old and it was garbage so i asked her to name a good song and she said freak a leek...
i then insulted her as only i could
it's sad that somone would pick a lyrically weak, shallow garbage ass crunk song, over a decent old school song

I totally agree with both your posts.
Rappers in general limit the longevity of their lyrics, because they fill it with so much current slang and events. The songs lack a universal appeal for the most part. I really can't think of any rapper performing into his 50s or 60s, except maybe Snoop, but only for comedic puposes.
