Focus on doing whatever makes get bigger and make some money. I love real rap and hardcore but if that doesn't sell then... make some party music. But when you are able to do what you want to do just go back to what you like.
Try making one song in each "category". Real rap, party, hardcore, emotional, dark, fun, etc, and whichever one you enjoyed making the most/ enjoy listening to the most, go that route.
Try to report pictures of naked babies on Facebook like Just Silver .. maybe one of them happens to have a father or mother working at a Record company
Do something new. Rap over an instrumental entirely made of the ticking and sounds of a clock.
Or you could try a new twist on an old tried-and-tested method. Instead of making a party song, make a song telling the story of a man who goes into a party for the first time and his progression into alcoholism and drug addiction. Something like that.
