Well, it lacks melodic depth. It's not insulting to rap to suggest it's more minimalist than pop or rock. There is less reliance on melody: fact. Not an insult. Thus, since nearly an entire musical dimension is (largely) absent, it is perhaps less melodically complex, but probably far more rhythmically complex than pop or rock.
