The problem is exactly that - message before the messenger. As a rapper, you are not some god-chosen messenger of the people. That's bullshit. You are a MC. If you are not good at that then whatever it is that you're saying really doesn't matter.
For what it's worth, I don't think Tech's message outweighs his heavyhanded writing, delivery, and production. That's my 2c anyway

That's not a problem only for "non-fans"--it's an inherent problem for anyone purporting to make music.
This is the slippery slope towards pretending that Talib Kweli is actually a good rapper.
I thought his career would've been over by now
He doesn't even have one iota of rapping ability in his entire being.
