You need to learn how to mix before you attempt to master bro

it's not as simple as putting pluggins on your sounds

+1 True!

Mastering is a very complex task and a hole science own its own, its not a very creative part of music its more like the mathematical side of it.
You should not be too concerned about it if you develop some nice skillz in mixing, a nice mix needs less mastering tweaking.

You dont master or mix a beat to "get it ready for vocals" you do that after the vocals are recorded beacause a MIX is Mixing everything in a track.. music and vocals. Mastering is THE LAST STAGE of the Music, you only do it when everything is recorded and mixed.

There is no such thing as a specifically perfect VST for samples or a VST for drums... You have to decide that for yourself tru experimentation, its all about what sounds good to you as long as you know the basics.
The most important things you have to learn is proper use of EQ's, Compressors & Panning, then you move on to other FX, for example a big fan of a few specific distortions fx on Drums...

There is a million tutorials and info on the web but bare in mind that most of them don't really take in consideration electronic music (especially Hip-Hop that uses samples that already were mixed and mastered) So.. First you should learn the tech bullsh*t then decide for yourself how to use it.
