I can't stand most rap in general... I don't mind giving it a chance, but I've never found any that appealed to me.

I'm generally not a fan of country, Johnny Cash being the only exception. He was wonderfully talented.

The one thing I hate most though is the wannabe pop-punk bullshit... Blink 182, Sum 41, Newfound Glory, Good Charlotte, the list can go on and on... I don't hate it cause it's trendy, I hate it because the music itself tends to be generic and lacking in talent, the lyrics tend to be adolescent (sp?) and whiny, their voices drive me crazy... and as much as I hate to sound like an elitist ass, I hate how they represent themselves as punk. I mean, I love punk, but I don't stick to one genre (Rancid is my favorite band, and Gary Jules is a close second, so that should give you an idea of the variety I like)... but really, those worthless little fucks give punk a horrible name.

The funny part is, it seems to be a lot the same for rap. I always said I hated rap, then a friend of mine who really liked it pointed out that he hates most of the mainstream, MTV sort of rap as much as I do... but that's what gets represented to the world as rap. I've found that other rap stuff, while not appealing to me, doesn't really bother me either. I guess it applies to punk too, in that aspect (a mainstream wannabe group giving the actual thing a bad name).

And uh, sorry, I didn't mean to ramble so much. Been eatin' too many hydros and had a few too many drinks... ;-)
