I think with either genre, the better music is almost always underground. Most mainstream songs you hear on the radio are poor examples to judge by. Songs with meaningful lyrics seem to always be the lesser known. This holds true, I'll admit, even with bands such as Evanescence, for example. My favorite artist- although, the overplayed songs "My Immortal" and "Bring Me To Life" are not at all the best songs to listen to when forming your opinion of them.
The best rap artists to listen to before judging the entire genre are ones that few people have even heard of. Immortal Technique seems to be one of them. I, myself, have never heard of them, but many people seem to use them as an example. Tupac Shakur also is a decent artist who writes realistic lyrics, even I know that.
As far as rock goes, you have to listen to stuff besides Good Charlotte or Simple Plan to form an opinion of the overall genre. I would reccommend listening to a variety of artists because there are countless sub-genres of rock. There's punk, hardcore, emo, metal (which in itself has several sub-genres of its own- ex: goth-metal, heavy metal, death metal, etc.). It's really impossible to judge all rock based on a few songs because there is such a wide spectrum of sub-genres. The best underground and/or lesser known rock artists include Nightwish, Smile Empty Soul, Lostprophets, Poe, and Taking Back Sunday.
I personally don't care much for rap because most of it's just annoying to me, but I have a lot of respect for the kind that you don't hear on the radio very much even though I don't listen to it either. There are some songs that are an exception however, for example, "Where Is the Love?" by The Black-Eyed Peas. This song has a LOT of meaning in its lyrics, despite the fact that it is horribly overplayed on the radio. So there ya go. Neither genre is better than the other. It's all a matter of opinion and nothing more.

I prefer rock and punk, emo, ska, indie rock, classic rock, metal over anything hip-hop or rap.
