 Re: Hip-Hop/rap mixing?!?!?!
I have done quite a bit of mixing in that genre. It is essential that your vocals are full and the only real way for that is to double them with whatever you have handy. You can try doing3-4 takes and get as close to the original as possible then pan one hard right, the other hard left. EQ them slightly different. Now work on the main (center) vocals. Make sure you use some compression to fatten them up. Another trick is to use the Antares VX doubler. Sounds good and gives quick results.
Good Luck
