I'm a huge fan of TOP but trying to create a style that would sound even remotely like them would be a very difficult, I think. If you ever find or create one please let me know. I have a decent midi file of What is Hip, if you would like it PM me. My favorite is Squib Cakes but I've not found a midi file of that one yet. What synth you use for the instruments is critical. A basic cheapo synth like the VSC won't cut it especially for the horns and drums. There's no Real Drums that are even close to their style and this midi file has a pretty good drum track but you need a good drum module to make it sound like it should. I have Jamstix but there's many others including a freebie called the DR5 that sounds decent.
