No beef, that's an opinion.
"Can't really call it music to be honest...mindless unintelligible lyrics..."
That's wrong and silly at best, closer to closet racism/classism at worst.
I wouldn't go that far, but mindless and unintelligible? Have you been exposed to the variety of hip hop that is out there?
Aesop Rock, Action Bronson, Deltron 3030/Del the Funkee Homosapien etc etc
Here is an interesting post that classifies hip hop artists based on their vocabulary and word usage:

I wrote off broad swaths of musical styles when I was younger because I thought I actually had a clue about what was out there. I wrote off country because I'd only listened to a little bit of country and didn't like it. I wrote off house and trance and a lot of other electronic music because I had heard a bit of that and also didn't like it.
But in both cases, I was lucky enough to be exposed to a wider variety thanks to the internet, streaming radio like Shoutcast, and yeah...even a good bit of unauthorized downloading when I was younger and options for discovery weren't as robust. Now I doubt I could bring myself to write off any broad genre if only because I had to reconsider both times I'd done so in the past.

Personally, I cannot stand alternative rock, grunge, garage, thrash & death metal.
For me, hip hop beats in my heart.
Every person is different.
