There's often a negative culture associated with rap music, but it doesn't have to be. As the OP suggests, that is only part of what constitutes "rap" music. So putting that aside, I think the original question is moot and the title inflammatory. Why the hate for Country? Why the hate for Baroque Harpsichord? Why the hate for Gregorian Chant music? Its not "hate" just because someone doesn't like a particular style or type music.
