I think the difference might be that the VAST majority of Rap, and even more so, Hip-Hop is not just bad, but absolute CRAP. (In relation to music, my definition for that might be "insultingly bad".)However, there certainly is a .01% that is REALLY, REALLY good. Excellent, well produced, with sparks of genius even. But I will have to say that the percentage of good > tolerable > crap is VERY skewed in the Hip-Hop world. And I will admit that it DOES prejudice me against the entire genre.
It allows artists to get up on TV or the radio, sing stuff that is just plain AWFUL, destructive and, by some accounts, culturally degenerative and smirk as if they have something 'going-on'. I guess I just get SAD when I really think about it.
BTW...I am a classical music lover (primarily) but also like folk/dead/classic rock etc, so some might find it odd that I can see even some good in the music, but I try to remain open-minded.
