There's still only so much complexity or detail you can express in a short number of words. Not everything can be condensed without something being sacrificed. Not that I don't believe some of the most resonant and powerful messages are expressed with the least amount of words -- I very much do.
If by "lyrically advanced" you mean rap is capable of conveying the most complex messages and ideas through lyrics, then I would say yes, because it seems to allow for the highest quantity of words in a given space of time. But I think the argument that it has superior lyrical "flow" is nonsense. And I say that as a fan of Eminem and the Gorillaz.
