Is just like with every music genre, 99.999 % of rap's good material is found in it's underground artists. There's the odd group that's really good and makes it big (Outkast or Wu Tang). For someone to make a judgement on a musical genre based entirely on what you hear on the radio or see on TV is pathetic. It'd be like me seeing Creed and saying rock music was all shit, or seeing Good Charlotte and saying all punk was whiney bullshit about 15 year-old girls.
