Best advice I can give is to load up some pro tracks that have the sound you want and use those as a guide. Compression in rap is probably going to lean to less than what we'd use in dance, more to gel then to get pumping and breathing. Similar eq would apply although the low freqs targeted might be a bit different but the same theory would apply.

Level wise again check some other mixes. For dance tracks it's generally around -10rms max, I'd assume hiphop is going to ride about the same as most commercial music nowadays is.
