Were talking about rap vocals, you are concerned so much with losing high end, and 99% of the time the vocal is a monotone without falsetto, and extra high end will make it more harsh even if its needed. Besides you can purchse extra balls for the mic and remove the foam effectively giving it the same response.
Rap vocalists also tend to get thier lips on the mics so a ball end will be a little less gross, and the 57 will be honky with a vocal that close.
