most genres have songs more difficult to compose than hip hop. for example 50 tyson vs tool
most genres have songs less complex than hip hop.  another example deltron-mastermind vs billy ray cyrus


genres are way to big and diverse to claim that one is more difficult than all the others.  its like saying steak is better than pizza. all depends on how its made, not what it is.

I remember when this first came out. I thought it was a parody.

I mean it's not even about the language. Artists that are composing Indian Classical Music even have a hard time composing it required a lot of years of learning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEqYzdz3Zvg there's just so much going on.

But in a way I have no disrespect towards hiphop. It takes years to grow as a hiphop artist whether it be underground or Rolling Stone. It still requires a lot to be out there. Freestyling isn't easy.

In this same way that video I just shared requires a lot more than just understanding of words and being able to make up random sentences. Rather you make up notes and create this whole new song for yourself. And there's just so many Raga's that one has to have knowledge of.

Some people spend over a year learning and understanding coordinations for one Raga. 

Definition of a Raga (according to google): (in Indian classical music) each of the six basic musical modes which express different moods in certain characteristic progressions, with more emphasis placed on some notes than others.
