Just like with any genre of music you have a few MTV top 40 radio bands that are there just to make money by selling an image to teenagers.
So you prefer rock? What about these bands like Slipknot, The Strokes, White Stripes etc.? You hear any of that crap lately ? and you call rap talentless ?
Of course I can't stand these artists like 50 cent, p-diddy etc. but throw on some Emimen, Dr Dre, Black Eyes Peas, Rascalz, Snoop Dog etc. and listen to some very original music.
If you still can't manage to grip that Rap is music then just remind yourself that all music has it's roots in drum beats and chants. Rap and hiphop may have found itself in mainstream in just the past couple decades but it has close ties to the most elementary musical roots.
And for what it's worth I used to be a guitar teacher and study classical music. I listen to everything from country to death metal to jazz to hard rock etc. Rap isn't all I listen to.
