I would suggest that one comp' isn't going to give you what you need.

If i was doing a hiphop mix (i don't mix but do a fair ammount of hiphop from stems, which sometimes ammount to almost the same thing) i'd send out the drums and instruments to a red 3, get that pumping, bring this into the Dangerous and add the vox and bass to taste and then send the whole shabang thru a C2 or similiar for a bit more squeeze (just a touch, mind)........that way you can get a nice pump on the drums/music without the vox ducking all over the place....you might also need some clipping somewhere in the chain if you're looking to win an olympic loudness medal....then into the hedd or (heaven forbid) tape for a bit more goodness and you're good to go
