'Gangsta Rap' I find absolutely awful. Can't listen to it at all. I genuinely despise it.
I feel about it the same way that my parents probably felt about punk - a tuneless racket with no melody, with yobs singing anti-social lyrics that appeals to the uneducated and delinquent. No musical ability, but lots of aggressive posing, macho swaggering and wearing tons of ridiculous bling.
Songs glorifying the 'hood, gangs and violence, calling women 'hoes' and 'bitches', and (years ago at least) the homophobic sentiments about beating-up 'batty boys'.
Trash music.
