Right. He's asking if he's supposed to rap about getting a colonoscopy or his eyesight going bad. I mean... maybe, at the very least how that makes you feel or changes your perspective of life. Totally doable. True poets have made classic work from much less motivation. Player's Ball wasn't exactly an important thing to talk about.

I said this over in GD a while ago. He wants to be pop, talking about "connecting and catching the zeitgeist of what's going on." Then saying there are dope people on the internet everywhere that no one knows about. He's not here to proceed with his purpose and let it all follow from a pure place. He's here for attention and is so attached to the mainstream stardom that he's feel like a failure releasing a RAP album and it not being big. He'd rather play flute, because he's "a baby at it" so he can deal with not being huge with it. He has a built in excuse. He's still a wordsmith, using flowery language to disguise his fear of failure.
Overall, if just wants to do instrumental music, that's cool. If so, he doesn't know how to just do his thing without shitting on what he's not doing. I'm just not a fan of that. He only has to say "that's not where I am currently."
