And no, most of us would not throw up at it.

You have once again nailed it. While I abhor any music that advocates attacking/killing law enforcement, the constant cursing and the denigration of females and/or those with a different skin color, I would bet that the most outspoken against rap have never heard more than a few songs (most likely sent to them, or identified by, their 'tribe' of choice).
If people took time to listen to a lot of rap songs, they would realize that there are some really talented people simply stating what is going on in the world. It's funny how the old country ballads are revered by some, yet rap songs that are actually the same thing, only modernized - are reviled.
Which leaves only one conclusion, that being the skin color of those sending the message - is the primary opposition.
