I prefer No2. There seems a bit more 3D space in the mix, and vocals are a touch more up front. Listening in HD380 pro's. Nice rapping and a really good song!

Haha, well I hear you. I don't like listening on laptop speakers either nor do I prefer my cheap earbuds over my expensive system, but the way I hear my music I want other people to as well and I believe most people use crappy systems.

Thanks :) I constantly strive to improve hence I'm never satisfied and always questioning. Maybe I sometimes question things a bit too much. It can't be easy working with me :P
 
Anyway thanks for all the replies. I will repost this track in about a week together with a video I've recorded.

The second version sounds like the better one, to me.  As far as making your mixes sound good on poor systems, that's mainly in the mixing stage and not the mastering stage.  You need to listen on the playback system you're shooting for before the mix goes to the master engineer.  If you can't, then you might consider something like the ARC 2 system or the Focusrite VRM box for monitoring because they give you the opportunity to listen on various virtual playback systems.  Either way, you're doing a decent job as is.

Sounds pretty well done to me (v2).   It seems to have the right feel and attitude for the style.
