That's why rebelling against the need/favoritism towards natural talent (sending the message anyone can make music) can ironically make satirical artists more engaging than sincere artists. Also, music is a lot of work and some people don't have enough confidence to admit how much they love hip hop and how serious their efforts truly are.
Tyler, The Creator has recently done an interview where he compared rappers without a sincere love for their hip hop music as audio-mockery. While I think artistic passion is vital for longevity, different audiences are looking for different things.
