Too simple, actually.Many wish their music to have melody and harmony along with the words and rhythms. Makes it more interesting to listen to.
Oh yes, throw in cogent improvisation, compositional ingenuity, instrumental and vocal skill, and variety of tempo & style for good measure.
If you remove everything but the words and rhythms there's not enough left to maintain interest. Life's too short for uninteresting music.

Amen!!!!
...not enough to maintain YOUR interest.
I thought that was obvious from my post.I have no interest in policing anyone else's taste in music. Your post seemed to ask a question; I attempted to answer it from my own perspective.
The only thing I would add is that much of the target audience for rap is sadly unaware of the great legacy of music, from jazz to R&B, that came before. I hope they discover it someday and thereby enrich their lives.
In any case, once 40-somethings start liking a form of popular music, it's a sure sign it's on its way out. ;-)
