Catalan Rap

A Catalan speaker told me that Catalan rap is better than Spanish rap because Catalan tends to have shorter words. I might've missed something about some phonotactic aspects as well, but the gist was mainly for the former statement.

It's probably the case that languages with super long words don't lend themselves well to rap, but I don't know how many people would be rapping in Mohawk, or Chukchi anyway. It's probably different though, either way, because most poetry and such tends to be dependent on the language anyway, for metrical quality, versatility of rhyme, and such.

Old Norse poetry was always interesting because it really did seem reminiscent of modern rap and hip hop to me, weaving repeating sounds into sentences, rather than having ending rhyme. Japanese poetry often works differently as well, being mora-based, rather than having the same type of rhyming that one would expect from English poetry.

Perhaps Catalan rap can more easily resemble the American variety? I doubt that Spanish is so ill suited for the style that it just cannot produce anything worthwhile, they probably just need to change it up a little bit, and that's one of the things that makes vocal stylings so interesting in verse.
