I'm sure you are purely basing this off of the majority of the crappy rappers out there but hip hop/rap music contains the requirement to be considered music.

Where's the beauty (beauty of form)?
I do enjoy a lot of hip-hop. Most of the popular hip-hop I hear has the same formula - male boring rapped verses, female sung chorus with a hook, samples and no instruments.
The Roots do it right.
