In the second half of the video, on Munch Dogg's vocals, you see a much broader adjustment. In the first part of the tutorial you will see that I do some smaller adjustments. If the whole vocal is just leaning toward the bass, or toward the treble - adjust accordingly. If you are hearing an odd amount of low-mids, find that, and remove a bit. If you are hearing more treble than midrange, you might take down the treble. You would use an EQ to even out the tone. The tools for this process are EQ (mainly), and occasionally a dynamic EQ such as a De-Esser. Something that sounds evenly balanced frequency-wise and is free of weird resonances or sound build up.
Unfortunately, if there's stuff in the rap vocal you don't want, that will become larger than life too! Before I start enhancement, I like to have a baseline for the vocal. I think the biggest mistake people make when mixing rap vocals is that they go straight for trying to enhance the vocal and make it larger than the life. By following this approach and taking the time to master each step for a particular vocal recording, you will come out with stellar sounding rap vocal mixes. But the approach to the process is essentially the same.

The specifics of how to treat each rap vocal changes quite a bit. I receive vocals that have been tracked in million dollar studios as well as make-shift home studios. This is the same process I've used on many famous rappers, including Gift of Gab from Blackalicious, Speech from Arrested Development, Joell Ortiz, MURS, Dizzee Rascal, Wordsworth, Gorilla Zoe, and the list goes on.
