People that say they don't listen to rap because of the lyrics the same argument could be said for whatever music they are listening to. Each genre has artists that don't go into very deep lyrical content.\

Most rappers write songs about things that they know or that's around their immediate self. There are a few that like to be creative and do some story-telling but most mainly rap about where they live and how proud they are that they made it out of where they came from. So if you can't relate the how they used to live or how they are living now then you won't like a majority of their lyrical content.

For example , I really like Maino's Debut album because he basically goes through and gives you a story about his life over all of the tracks. He actually starts the album with the first track talking about the end and then on the next track he goes and starts from the beginning.
