parallel or "new york" compression is always a good trick.

bonus tip: send a little bit of your bass to your compressed/saturated/distorted/whatever drum track. makes that low-end extra fat.

For that Mobb Deep feel you need to throw a long reverb on your drums.

even on the kicks? i usually throw reverb on the snare but then then it down a little cus i dont want them to be too echoey,but im still learing how to get my drums sounding unique too

Me, i personally throw a Reverb on my master with the Dry and Wet both at 100%.
A lot of Reverbs have EQ's build in. I just cut off the low frequencies of my reverb so the Snare still has a tail.

You never throw reverb on the kicks, at least to my knowledge. Only way would be to extract the high end frequencies (400 hz +) and work from there.
