I'm not a "fan" of rap.  I happen to like some stuff by Ice-T
(although I prefered the heavy metal album he did with his band Body
Count).  I've also heard some stuff by Rage Against the Machine that I
liked (even if they are millionaire Hahvahd-graduate poseurs).  ;-)
And I've liked a few of the rap/metal blendings of bands like
Faith No More...

In general, I don't like music "by genre", and more and more often,
I'm finding that I don't even like it "by group".  I tend to like
songs (sometimes albums) on an individual basis.
