By artistic talent, it could be anything you find artistic: rhythm, speed, creativity, meaning/message, voice, etc.

I like far too many kinds of hiphop to ever have a favorite, but here's one that really struck me when i first heard it. The Lovely Thing Suite by Watsky. Technically multiple songs but here it is all together. I think it tells a story very powerfully.

Here's another artist who doesn't get enough mentions, Spose. He's mostly known for a song called I'm Awesome, but he never stopped making music and he has tons of great tracks. I wouldn't say he's the most technical rapper, but he has some of the cleverest bars out there and is really entertaining. Here 's one my favs called Greatest Shit Ever.
