    If the tempo’s are reasonably similar then its a piece of cake to mix and can definitely make for a good set. There’s so many cross-over tracks nowadays too that theres such a genre blur at times.

    To elaborate on what Steelo said: Dubstep is 99% at 140 BPM, which means a rap tune set to 70 BPM (Most of the slower tunes) will be going the same ‘speed’ just over twice as many bars. Now, I think most of the time the kicks will not sync, because rap doesn’t follow the same drum pattern. However, you could be running a Dubstep tune, and drop rap over it by finding the beginning of a set of vocals in the rap song, cutting out most of the rap’s bass, and boosting the mids a bit to bring the vocals out, and when the timing is right, switch the bass between the two tracks.

    One of my favorite artists is Big Gigantic. He does some things in that vein, and you might want to have a listen and see if it gives you some inspiration

    Just one of my favorites
