It's true that semantic coherence is an important criterion in itself, but as @emanjavacas says, I don't see us measure this adequately in snippets of this size. It's also very much the question whether people/rappers see this as an aesthetic criterion.

RE repetition also occurs in authentic rap: I've added a footnote in the paragraph in objective feature importance:

Of course, authentic lyrics also employ repetition of words. However, the strong negative estimate suggests that the language generation models exaggerate this characteristic.

To resolve the issue of semantic coherence, I added a line to the discussion:

The current study only covered a limited set of linguistic features. Future work should be directed toward understanding the effect of other, more high-level features, such as agreement of anaphora and semantic coherence.
