Urban really isn't back on top yet. If so, how come rihanna's most urban r&b album, anti, is probably her least successful and has not had many mainstream hits?

You'd think that somebody as big as rihanna would be able to bring urban to the mainstream since she's a pop star making urban records, but even she couldn't do it because today's urban music all sounds the same, same five notes, same generic melodies, same sht lyrics, same beats and rhythms, it's so bad that every producer sounds like a ripoff of another producer. Urban music needs a whole new sound.

Now I'm not defending pop music, that's just as bad.
