are being sampled on a regular basis by the hip hop artists. ie. James Brown, Parliament/Funkadelic, etc etc. and then try and recreate them in your sequencer. Or you could use something like Hammmerhead which has some quite good built-in grooves.
The main thing is to keep an open mind to what you use.
Hip Hop uses everything from 606/909 patterns to sampled funk grooves to rock beats for its rhythmic backbone. Its how the groove is applied and the tempo it's used at. Other than an average tempo between 70-90 bpm it's pretty much wide open.

but more than the drum beat, the most important part for me is what can be call the "ambient" part of hip hop.. the synth part in fact.. any rules or ideas ?

This doesnt apply to the new york new school hip hop beats (smx/master-P) I think the formula for their beats goes something like this.
1) get an 808
2) if you have any talent, set it aside
3) put down the snares somwhere close to where they need to go.
4) slam down a bunch of hihats just anywhere.
5) slam down a bunch of kiks/snares just anywhere.
now, make sure to use a constant velocity of 128 on EVERYTHING, so as to remove as much rythem as possible.
ta-dah
