Well, some of the older stuff is listenable because it actually had "messages," but that seems to have mostly been replaced by idiots incapable of rapping about anything but women, drugs, and cars. So much newer rap seems almost like an unintentional minstrel show, some kind of nasty cobbling-together of all the worst stereotypes about blacks:

The minstrel show, or minstrelsy, was an American entertainment consisting of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music, performed by white people in blackface or, especially after the American Civil War, African Americans in blackface. Minstrel shows portrayed and lampooned blacks in stereotypical and often disparaging ways...

When women, drugs, money, bling and cars begin to be the topic, it seazes to be real hip hop...
