I used to think rap was just a bunch of garbage. When I was studying music in university, I had to take a course on popular music, and rap was one of the genres we learned about. I must say that I have learned to appreciate where it has come from. The fact is that many rap artists' lyrics speak of true hardships in their lives. After learning so much about it I grew to appreciate it because I now understand where it comes from.
You say that you don't like how they don't play real instruments. The point of rap is not to show off their talents on instruments but to speak about hardships.
Unfortunately, many people confuse rap today with hip-hop. The two styles are actually different.
I would recommend doing some research on rap. Just because you may not like the style doesn't mean they aren't talented.
