The blanket statements are not about any particular artists but the filter of the industry itself. It's not about the artists it's about the record distribution companies.
Then the OP and others need to express that sentiment. Until then...
In my opinion have a love and hate relationship with hip hop and rap music. I put most of the blame on the radios and the music industry in general for just pumping out the same songs over and over. I remember in the like the 90s you could get a gangsta song, a have fun party song, a "out there" wacky song and songs with a message. I think with the internet people are afforded the ability to find artist outside of the radio and find better artist speaking a good message overall.
Sometimes its annoying because I Don't Like by Chief Keef probably got more play time than Jonylah Forever by Lupe Fiasco.
Hip Hop fills a void that no other music can. But in its essence, which is more than just music, how can it NOT be art?
Graffiti?
Hip Hop Dances (come on!)
Clothing
Slang
It's an art form. Whether you personally like it or not is debateable, but its an art form.
