The MIDI drum patter is composed of the entire drum tracks and it is also called as drum loops. Bassline however refer to MIDI sequence and the dubs and snips focus on the accent and characters. The supporting orchestration could be synth pads, string sections or horns.
The beat can be any length of your choice. The shortest beat is made of eight bars that can be in a loop.

Vocal tracks in a hip hop song consist of main vocal, second vocal, background vocals and overdubbed vocals. You can use tools in making your own beat. For one, we have hardware samplers which are the original creator of hip hop beats.
For bassline and orchestration accuracy, you may use sysnthesizers. Another great resource in this field is the vintage sysths. Artists have their own choice of synthesizers so you can do the same. Cheaper synths are ideal if you intend to have blippy sounds.
