I realized this today...
1) If you can't REALLY mix, any advanced stuff you try to pull will probably ruin the mix rather than improve it.
2) You can't really mix just a beat. You need vocals.
3) Any serious rapper is gonna ask for the Pro Tools session or track outs so his engineer can mix your shit.
4) When you're mixing, you're really just wasting time you could spend on making more beats.
So just make your shit presentable with a standard limiter on the master track and use volume and pan only. Don't even worry about EQing and compressing. Add delays and reverbs if they're really necessary but leave it at that + volume and panning.
