I don’t really like any genre where the “stars” don’t perform the music, but only the lyrics.

That’s because, a lot of the time, rappers write their own music. You don’t need five people to operate a sampler and turntables.

just a looped piece of background music and some silly lyrics.

So, you are telling me that most rap/hip-hop songs don’t talk about “drugs, whores, sex, killing, etc”?

There are exceptions, but if most of the songs didn’t talk about those things I wouldn’t have this idea on my head.

Hip-hop is one of, if not the most, diverse genres of music, but your judging it based entirely on one of it’s sub-genres (gangster rap). Try looking away from the mainstream before judging the entire genre.
