My take on the "not so PC" is more in sound than lyrics. PC would be what is on the radio now and what we call bubble gum pop. Now we could say that Trespassing was not bubblegum but the problem is the listening world may only know BTIKM and NCOE and we can possibly agree that those two were bubblegum formula tunes. So to be Not PC then more of a dark sound. Now for me who knows nothing of beats or speed or danceability, dark means something like Runnin which I love and which the snippet we got could match up to in tone.

A BIT OFF TOPIC BUT INTERESTING READING. LOTS OF $'s IN RADIO Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM Tops Revenue List in 2014 as Radio Industry Holds Steady ARTICLESBUSINESSDIGITAL AND MOBILE By Marc Schneider | April 02, 2015 1:31 PM EDT While listener habits continue to shift in the face of internet radio and music streaming services, the U.S. radio industry has managed to hold steady in terms of generating revenue, this according to a study by the firm BIA/Kelsey. The report finds that in 2014, over-the-air radio revenues were $14.3 billion, with online adding $636 million for a total of $14.9 billion. The industry total in 2013 was $14.8 billion. "Local radio stations continue to maintain an important position in the local media marketplace," said Mark Fratrik, svp and chief economist, BIA/Kelsey. "Last year, a slight decline in over-the-air revenues was offset by an increase in online revenues, resulting in steady overall revenues." According to BIA/Kelsey's projections, both terrestrial and online radio stations will continue growing at slight rates over the next few years, with revenue climbing to $16.2 billion by 2019. Taylor, Madonna, Justin Own the 2015 iHeartRadio Awards iHeartMedia's KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, the radio home of Ryan Seacrest, is now the top revenue-producing station in the U.S., with an estimated $65.9 million in 2014. The top-40 powerhouse edged longtime leader WTOP, an AM news station in Washington, DC that generated $63.5 million. iHeart's WHTZ (Z100) in New York City was ranked third with $51 million, according to the report. Overall, the top-ten list has five entries from CBS Radio, four via iHeartMedia and one from Hubbard Radio. Table via BIA/Kelsey on radio station revenues. BIA/Kelsey also found that radio station trading activity held steady from the previous year, with 934 stations changing owners at a total value of $950 million. www.billboard.com/articles/business/6523845/radio-industry-revenue-study-2014-kiis-fm-iheartmedia-cbs?utm_source=twitter

Now we could say that Trespassing was not bubblegum but the problem is the listening world may only know BTIKM and NCOE and we can possibly agree that those two were bubblegum formula tunes. So to be Not PC then more of a dark sound. Now for me who knows nothing of beats or speed or danceability, dark means something like Runnin which I love and which the snippet we got could match up to in tone. What bubble gum pop? Here is the present top40 top40-charts.com/chart.php?cid=27There is a ton of variety in those charts. Which one do you think are bubble gum, i.e. in top 10? hm...two maybe? Do I understand you right that 'not so pc' means less formulaic or less radio friendly, in your opinion? If this is what you expect, I would disagree, because I expect MM&S to stand for highly radio friendly, in the end that is what they are all about. I do not though expect formulaic pop, because none of Adam's self-written songs so far have been that, and I don't expect him to start all of a sudden with MM&S. Also, Adam's descriptions so far (i.e. deep house, r&b) do not line up with that. I interpret Adam's 'not so pc' to mean little tip-toeing around lyrics or topics. Less safe, as other posters here have said, but I am not sure he means it so much in contrast to TSP, but rather in contrast to our potential expectations. I read his statement more as 'be prepared to be surprised or even shocked about a few lyrics or topics'. More as an expectations setting statement rather than one that should make us deep-dive into comparisons to earlier albums.
