Many lyrics are so luridly disgusting I will not even mention them here.

though we are pretty diverse in our styles and tastes, there is little if any rap (except for
Rapper's Delight, which we find vary amusing still) we can stand.
We even learned to appreciate some of out musician Son's eclectic Jazz until it got to be what we termed 'nervous music'
Many might consider the source of rap to be what you get when you leave
an open mic in a psych ward.
This is how one of the 'Older Guys' (egad he musta been 45!!) at our workplace described our hard rock tunes on the radio in the late 60's
While it seemed a little outrageous to many at the time, that kinda music is now heard in elevators and the like!!
We cannot, though, imagine that much of what they call rap today will ever reach such universal status!!
