It'll take some practice, but you can learn it real quick, especially with today's technology! Remember, being a DJ is like singing in a choir, because you can tell if the harmony is perfect or something doesn't sound right if you have an ear for music. When you listen to the 2 songs mixed together, it sounds like a remix! You can either do this as a DJ or a producer!

For making mashups, you should be looking at software like Sony Acid or Ableton Live rather than DJ software.
Yes you can mix tracks together with VDJ, but if your aim is to make a 'production' then DAW (digital audio workstation) software is more suitable. Ableton Live gives you the ability to 'warp' tracks - correct their timing - and Sony Acid will help you to keep loops in key.
If you're layering rap vocals over music then key isn't so much of an issue, but when you mix two separate tunes together, or layer singing over music, then key becomes important. Check out Mixed In Key software, which will scan your tracks and help you to pick tracks that work together.
