I normally do pure dubstep rhythms throughout the entire song. No drops unless it's one of my covers. At least nothing big.

A gray world of dread
In a possibly futile attempt to bend this discussion back into shape:
The options usually employed to create a build-up (what happens before a 'drop') and the emphasis on the drop itself are somewhat more limited in chippy environments. For example, there often is a limited amount of channels, so you can't just slap on a 20 osc synth hit and have to rely on timbre changes or arps instead. Volume is also often limited and has to be managed accordingly (and in the case of 1 bit just not there at all).
Other stuff still works: Tempo change, feel change, drum break, sample break, pause...
Build up / Resolve isn't THAT easy, imo. As always, practice helps.
