That being said, mainstream hip hop has always had a few main subjects:
inferiority of women
gang life
ass in general
Over 20 years it really hasn't changed a whole lot from sir mix a lots "i like big butts"
Is the pop side of hip hop going to be like country music, where we just hear the same recycled **** from now on?

Pretty much that's how it goes, you made a perfect analogy to country music where there tends to be some common themes that are overdone within the country genre.
Just because those common themes ARE mentioned that doesn't mean that everything that is released will have said themes.
