Are your vocals sounding a bit flat in the mix? If so your not alone - rapping is one of the hardest things to properly produce. A lot of guys just throw auto-tune over it because they don't know what to do with it, but it's frustrating because a lot of them don't like sounding like T-Pain.
My advice is to use a vocal compressor and a very light chorus effect. Then copying your vocals to several other tracks and play around with the pan, volume and FX on each one. You'll get it sounding right eventually.
A light distorted track in the background can work nicely.
