This is just... racism?
Its easy to find sexuality-focussed songs in literally any genre, from classical to jazz. And one of the most highly regarded hip hop tracks of all time is 2pacs ode to his mother.
No, it's just shit music. Thanks for playing the "racism" game.
That is a different point entirely. Your initial criticism was that the lyrical content was only about penises, now you're saying that your subjective preference is the only consideration on a wide umbrella genre-of-genres.
Why should anyone care that you're saying "I don't like thing?"
No, you immediately squealed "racism" rather than make an argument for the contributions of rap / hiphop. I imagine this tactic has worked for you many times.
You picked a racist trope about a predominantly black genre. It is a very common racist stereotype dating back hundreds of years to claim that people of African (and other black) heritage are more sexually aggressive than other cultures.
Even if you didn't intend it, or weren't aware of that, I am telling you now there is a well documented history of such intent.
