You could argue that it's more creative because it's improvising. No one's saying his way of coming up with melody or rhythm is more creative, but calling Prince more creative because he can play an instrument, as you're implying, is like calling Thom Yorke a better athlete than Michael Jordan because he wrote
Kid A.
