I think you're thinking of "pop" music. Just because the artists are African American doesn't make it hip hop music.

I don't dislike hip-hop on account of who sings it, or their morality...I like plenty of music made by all sorts of people. Probably more often than not, the music I like comes from musicians that were drug-inspired, or have criminal records or political views different than my own etc. That doesn't bother me if I like the music.
The thing with hip-hop is that I don't like the music. I don't expect people to like my music either. But it seems hip-hop has been forced upon me more than I wish -its fully infiltrated pop culture which is hard to tune out. Also its gotten on at a bar I used to like. Not to mention my teenage daughter charged that soft porn music on my itunes account, before i cut it off.
So sorry to be grumpy about music you like. To each his own. or as a hip hop artist would say "Hey evry Mo Fo hangs wid yo own [expletive] an yo hos "

ah what poetry.
I think you may be confusing hip-hop with other forms of rap...most of hip-hop carries either a positive message or description of life growing up (which may or may not be positive depending on the environment they grew up in)
...but most of hip-hop isn't characteristically soft porn...IMHO.
...plus most hip-hop isn't really mainstream as rap is...which is more "forced" on everyone.

Hip-Hop is a sub-genre of the overall Rap genre...
Within Rap you have:
Old school hip-hop
Hip-Hop
Gansta Rap
Freestyle
Trip-hop
Mainstream Rap
etc...
There are many different rhythms and flows of lyrics, many different beats...some jazzy....some bluesy...some rock...some electronic...
Then there is the message that is conveyed in the lyrics...
Hip-Hop tends to be the mouth of the street...how life is. Poetry.
Gansta Rap tends to be more about gang-life, living large, ladies, money...etc.
Trip-hop tends to be more dark, mellow, and slow...almost sensual
Freestyle is flowing freely...on the spot...trying to outdo yourself or your opponent
Mainstream is what is on the radio...mostly a combination of all of the above
Mind you if you don't like it, you don't like it...I like Rock, but I don't care for Southern Rock...it happens.
I just get picky, and my music snob comes out when people get genres mixed up.
