#1 i think lacks in energy a bit. its a good idea though. i didnt particularly care for the snare sound, but thats just my opinion. as far as the energy, i think using a different vocalist who nails the notes, and knows how to incorporate some overdubs to give the hook some more "hype" might be a good idea. if it was me, id try putting in some tight 32nd note hi-hats and see if that worked.

#2 to me is the more interesting of the two IMO. i would personally bring down the distorted sample vocal more to the level of the cleaner sample, it pokes out too far for me. I agree with mark d. in that the kick is a little dull. overall i think it could be revisited to balance levels a bit more, but its pretty cool. i like songs with a lot of space.
