Well... you need to get past this "complexity is automatically better than simplicity" attitude. Things aren't that clear cut. What is "simple" for you might just be an element taken for granted by someone else.

Example: I enjoyed your mySpace tracks but will interested to hear what you can pull off in a meter other than 4/4. In other words, I like variety in my meter.

I don't feel, however, that just because all your tunes are in 4/4 (and maybe there's some we haven't heard yet), that they are too simple and therefore "suck." I am listening to it on its own terms. I can hear that you put some care and attention into what you were doing, but the bottom line is that I had a response to it. I don't and likely will never fully know why.

But to get back on topic...

I think one of two things is true:

1) Rap does suck without its lyrical component.

2) You are unwilling to accept that you just don't like something and are trying to nail down, in vain, some objective reasons why this is a lesser music and is not worthy of being enjoyed by an intelligent person.

3) You just haven't heard enough/the right stuff yet.

I hope the answer is #3.

If the answer is #1, then consider also that Lance Armstrong is a horrible cyclist without his bike.
