It's a shame you can't get past that - the reason a lot of the stuff you hate is subsidised is because it's genuinely good and people have dedicated their lives to interpreting it, rather than some Tory conspiracy to fuck the poor.
I totally agree that their should be more funding for arts spaces and accessibility, but it shouldn't have to be to the detriment of what you call 'high' art. It's a hugely rich vein of history that continues to inspire all kinds of artists.
Also there is shitloads of hiphop out there that doesn't deal in rampant materialism and objectification of women. Search harder, it's worth it.
