Cut the kick at maybe 20Hz. It all happens in registers your playback system will not be able to reproduce truthfully.
C) hicut on a lot of things.
Again, if you're new, I wouldn't hi-cut much at all. Especially in Hip Hop - on a pro level I don't find myself using too much hi-cut. You'll do more harm than good.
