Replying to audio edit: how to seperate vocals from music?

i have a lot of hip hop and some electronic shit, its all good, but for my video purposes the vocals are either distracting or completely unrelated. is there any way to seperate the vocals from the beats or music? is it gonna cost me a few figures?



'Le Mat snake village - (Hanoi) - is home to a slew of snake-meat restaruants which play to the tourist market with elaborate theatrics, including killing the snake in front of you. It's then served up in every possible form, from soup to snake-belly shavings. The guest of honour gets to eat the still pumping heart - beware, it's alleged to have amphetamine properties.' - The Rough Guide to Vietnam. First world countries are for pussies.
