"Most of rapper’s remixed beats rock?" (5)
Definition
Our definition here is 'beats rock?' and the question mark indicates a little stretch in our definition. Our answer will be something that famously beats rock.
Indicator
This clue's indicators are 'Most of' and 'remixed'. One of these is a selection indicator, guiding us to select only some letters in neighbouring fodder. The other is an anagram indicator - we'll need to rearrange some fodder to reach our answer.
Fodder
This clue's fodder is 'rapper'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s). Note: the apostrophe S isn't part of the fodder but joins with 'remixed', meaning 'is remixed'. While on the surface it's a possessive apostrophe S, in the wordplay it's a contraction of 'is'.
