This comes back to a question I asked that you didn't respond to: Can you enjoy an instrumental song where the drumming is the focal point?
|
Drum solos can be OK at times, but it's usually not something I'm going to be interested in. In the case of drums in most songs,
it is because they are background elements that it doesn't bother me. If it was a song with the drums mixed overly loud, to the point where it was drowning out the vocals and the rest of the song, then yes, that would be annoying too.

But it does seem to be the fact that they are words rather than simply sounds that bothers you though, since other non-melodic components of the music, such as drums, don't seem to bug you at all.

I'm still not sure you understand. The words themselves do not bother me, it is
speaking those words without a melody that bothers me. In fact, as I said in the post I linked above, words aren't even that important to me in a song - if the words of my favorite song were nothing but, "You are a mother-f*cking a**hole" over and over again, I would probably like the song just as much as I do now.
Since words are unimportant to me while notes/melody are the overwhelming reason for my like of music in the first place, and you have a genre in which the focus of the song are words
which don't even have a melody, how on earth am I going to be interested in that genre?
BTW I suspect that most people who don't like rap dislike it for the same reasons as I, though they probably couldn't explain their reasons for their dislike in as much detail as I have here.
