Regarding all the stuff about sex and violence, of course, it's awful. I believe a lot of similar horror has been written in other poetic genres as well, throughout history. Some of it still gets read because it was well-expressed or because it's part of a very small collection of stuff we have from that historical period, but on the whole, the literary cream rises to the top. The poems that become popular and well-known tend to be the ones that are truly beautiful, not the misogynistic porno stuff.

I think Eminem is an artist through and through. His cadence and staccato are unbelievably amazing and he has a great deal of talent. I don't follow rap much, so I can't speak to other rappers, but I've always at least appreciated Eminem's style.

I will put forth Rakim. The greatest MC in my book.
Since the first days you know of, till the last days is over
I was always the flow'er, I made waves for Noah
From a compound to the anatomy, to the breakdown of a atom
Some of my rap patterns still surround Saturn
From the ancient hieroglyphics to graffiti painted pictures
I study, I know the scriptures
Rakim - The 18th Letter (Always And Forever)

There's always gonna be the artist who puts the heart in creating something deep and beautiful - ending up in poetry or musical composition - and the 'artist' who puts random words in a random beat just to sell the hit. Sad but true
