Spunky nailed it. Most people who do not like rap simply can not follow it, it is over their head. They can call the rappers whatever they want, but that stupid rapper just spent the last 3 minuites or so speaking over the heads of the "educated" person that thinks it is moronic.
Most of these people are fans of overly simplistic songs, no social referance, very little whit and in a lot of cases basically nothing more than abstract ideas strung together while repeating chords we have heard from much better bands in the past.

As far as hustling rock and slapping bitches, there are far more genre to rap than "gangsta". Each geographical point of origin is responsible for a widly differant form of "rap". The east will be known for its strong hip hop styles, the more artsy forms of rap using poetry and such. The west with its angrier style, the origin of mainstream and popular gangsta rap. The south is more about flamboyancy, partying, fast classic muscle cars, women and making it from nothing into something. There are sub classes of each, Atlanta produces differant party rap than New Orleans, Oakland produces differant gangsta rap than LA. A lot of it is localized and has referances to areas of cities or states that you have to almost research to understand.

But of course it is common for people to say that something that is to complex for them or not understood as easily as the other things they have experience with is stupid....
