I think the best thing you could possibly do is go to a shop and demo a virus. spend alot of time there, playing and tweaking, go through some presets, and hopefully this will give you some idea whether it would be a good addition to your arsenal.....
I dont think anyone would disagree that the Virus is a great machine, especially around here! But is it the right machine for you? Only you know the answer to that one....
Dont just buy.....try first! It is the only way you will know you are not wasting your money.
The virus is a very dark and aggressive VA IMO......The word "Nasty" and "Evil" comes to mind. Im sure you could incorporate this into hip hop, and in fact, I have heard this a few times. Also, dance/electronica based music with rapping/MC'ing over the top is big in places like UK.....
Good luck!
