Budget?

Room treatment?

What will the mic be feeding -- the rest of the system?

Find 4 stand mic stands kinda things put them all up as high as they go and put you and the mic in the middle and throw a duvet over the top of it thats what my teacher at college says works good if you need a vocal booth in your room haha

If you're going to be mostly rapping then get an SM58.

I've just said in your other thread, try an AKG C414. There should be no need to go to $2,000 for a rap/hip hop mic.
