+1 on both points.

Listening thru the cans is the best way, but aimed a bit towards the chest is a great starting point to help cut the sibilance. then play with the proximity effect. ive heard some nice, lush rap vox thru the bird and a focusrite isa. especially for smoother or articulate spitters. souded GOOD.
