I don't know. If the Oxford University Press will call it music, I don't know why you won't. Rap isn't an "accidental" sound, nor is it an incidental sound such as laughter. It is pieced together purposefully, and often in an improvised fashion. It is a music of the voice, that is either solo or accompanied by an instrumental backing. No, it's not singing, but it isn't farting either.
If you simply don't like rap, then please say so. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to take what you're writing seriously.
