To flip the question around: What is appealing about a genre of music "written" by low-lifes who sell drugs, kill people, and abuse women? It certainly doesn't sound good. It's probably the biggest insult to actual music since country, but at least county has instruments.
You sound like you grew up in a super strict evangelistic hosuehold and your mommy was too scared to let you watch mtv because a black person could show up.
Also rap as a genre is so varied you can't really say its all criminals. Kanye West, Insane clown posse, and zillakami all are rap and are nothing alike. But to defend what you actually put forward about gangster rap and rap with violent lyrics, they serve as a raw and unfiltered expression of the realities and struggles faced by real people. Most good music tells a good story in some way and the lyrics of gangster rap reflect the actual lived experiences of gang members and people who grew up in marginalized neighborhoods with violence and gang activity. It's artistic expression. I know you're going to say that just any negro can get on the mic and rap about how he kills neighbors but that's just because you aren't listening to good rap music. If hearing about drug sales and people dying in your music unironically makes you maybe you just have overly sensitive feelings.
Also editing to say that ultimately consumers of music have the agency to choose what they listen to and how they interpret its messages. People want to pin rap on causing gang crimes and making little kids sell dope. To some extent I could agree, as you can see how diss tracks will fuel active gang feuds, but it really is like saying that playing Dungeons in Dragons will turn someone into a satanist child murderer or whatever. Instead of blaming rap music for societal problems, focusing on addressing the root causes of violence (lack in access to education, lack in access to jobs, etc.) But rap is just the easy scape goat for that.
Also pinging !BIPOCs since this is a negro problem.

The "harsh realities" of selling drugs and killing people seem to be something worth bragging about. Every gang member should be shot in the head. Maybe libertarians need a genre of music where they talk about how they got diddled and how good child kitty feels
And people always talk about how rap is so diverse and deep but whenever someone 1 know plays a rap song it's some dude bragging about fricking some b-word at the club or something

I'm really cherry picking here but how do these sound similar to you? All rap.
Yeah there's plenty of varied rap songs but the 90% of them that get listened to by everyone sound like shit
Okay @CREAMY_DOG_ORGASM but all of this so far still doesn't answer the question of why you hate rap so much. I mean repetition yeah, but were you actually r*ped by some gangster when you were little?

1 hate it because it sounds like shit, 1 hate what it promotes, 1 have to listen to it against my will more than any other genre of music and it's an insult to instrumental music
Every single time it's played in front of me I'm just blown away by the fact that people unironically enjoy that shit.
1 won't be a peepee to you because I'm sure some rap is good and it has artistic merit, but I never encounter it against my will so 1 don't have much of an opinion on it

1 actually think that metal as a genre sounds horrific to the point that 1 consider it more offensive to my ears than rap is. Metal is 100% awful nosie to m3 but 1 respect it as a genre since it's very well crafted.
It's something that does unironically trigger @CREAMY_DOG_ORGASM sometimes because 1 truly, truly can't wrap @CREAMY_DOG_ORGASM's head around why people like it. I'll be a bit more fair and say why people like the popualr rap shit but it's just so awful and 1 don't understand it at all. It's just so bad in every way
as a metalloid I will concede that metal sounds godawful on any low fidelity setup like a car or phone speakers but it can sound good with a good setup, or just decent headphones.
99% of rap sounds awful. there are the few meritorious examples that people always drag out to defend it but look at any list of the shit that "people" actually listen to and it all sounds awful with awful subject matter about crime/drugs/(vulgar) s*x. Not to mention that almost all avid rap listeners are subhuman
music peaked with Marty Robbins and it's all been downhill from there
