These are some elements of what I think rappers should have in their music and lyrics in order to enhance it, make it more interesting, and educating.
Rapping =
Creative or funny entertaining Quotes made by you or known by common
Indirect Drama by people
Exaggeration (hyperbole)
People’s Contradictions
Your Opinions
Boasting
Your Life
Experiences
Summarized Stories told with left out information leaving only information you want the audience to know or think about or you want to emphasize on
Words said with emotion
Lines ended with bangs
Special effects such as sounds, rhymes, repetitions, clever phrases that don’t reveal themselves at first beginning, addictive punch lines, etc.
Direct Comparisons (metaphors)
Ending lines with addictive and interesting words that cause an effect or emotion (arousal or excitement)
Slant rhymes
Symbolic phrases and words
Slang or creative formed words (spelled or said in a way to mean the exact same thing or match the context of the rhyming scheme
My rhyme for ex: house and mouth, juice and tooth.
Make words rhyme easy by using suffixes for ex. -ed, -ing, -s, ies, -es, -ness, -ly, -less, etc.
Good unique voice (for ex: Ja Rule, Nelly, Guru, etc.)
Use multisyllabic rhymes which are rhymes that contain two or more syllables to enhance overall effect and impact of rhymes = powerful rhymes and more info here.
