Is there a BIG difference mixing a beat with or without vocals???

I was wondering if I mix a beat (hip-hop) without the vocals,
and the beat alone is reaching 0.0 dB,
would there be a major problem recording vocals if the beat is already reaching 0.0 db????

Or Should I make space as in the melody, percussions, hats etc. reach at like 10 dB and having the kick reach to 0.0 dB so that the decibels between be for vocals???
 
when you mix with a vocal you do it all again - assuming that you did a rough mix before recording the vocal, then you will need to do a new mix after so that vocal and the backing sit in the same sonic space
