Recap: Charron’s gotta learn how to leave them on a high. I mean, still rapping after that killer ‘7th Ward’ line in round 3 just made no sense. Either way, after (had Charron taking round 1 before the more efficient Bar God edged the 2nd) splitting the first couple of rounds with a pretty solid overall (tho his 3rd was mostly lackluster) Danny Myers in this rebuttal-lit, heavily N.O.-referenced 3-rounder from UDubb, a dominate jokefest drenched, personal-spazzing and punchline-crazy final turn by the ‘Smack Killer’ gets him the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “Fuck y’all crew, I’ll kill Danny then I’ll maul you, old-school Christmas lights, once one die they all do!”
Recap: Almost too close to call, this KOTD 3-rounder between Charron and Bigg K brought with it what you’d expect from a couple of top tier battle rappers: plenty of fire punchlines, dope angles and a boatload of aggressive heat. However, after getting edged in round 1 to the slightly more haymaker-lit Charron’s crazy 4-bar set-up/punches and other salacious darts, Bigg K’s witty ‘nerd’ angle/personals, bullish punches, top-notch lyrical stunting and head-ringing boasts prove to be efficient and pointed enough to edge both the 2nd and 3rd rounds (despite some nice rebuttals and a pair of pretty solid/personal-lit rounds from Charron) for the win.
Verdict: Bigg K (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Bigg K – “Rock with a body shot, your organs shatter, I’m all business with a 30, it’s a corporate ladder!”
Recap: From The Rap Committee comes one of those outta-nowhere battles as Canada’s Charron crosses the border to face off with Milwaukee, WI’s Bankhead. A pretty competitive 1-rounder thanks in part to Bankhead’s gritty punches and underappreciated humor, with an elongated, but versatile turn that featured a gang of nifty freestyles, flexing name flips, sporty set-up/punchlines and witty personals, it’s the more steadily potent and haymaker-rich Charron who comes out on top.
Verdict: Charron (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Charron – “Jeremy Reed, Geechi’s favorite battler because he wears a weave!”
Recap: Another Compliment Battle from Barstool Sports ‘The Nicest’ card features Charron and XQZ trading a bunch of personals adulations (XQZ: “When people mistake me for you, I don’t correct them because that’s how I get into night clubs, award shows, my own family reunion!”), rich storytelling and witty punchlines to keep the crowd amused. A competitive bout on both sides with Charron adding a handful of solid freestyles/rebuttals to the mix, after the two split rounds 1 and 2, a 3-round bout that never wavered on entertainment fittingly ends up a draw.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Charron – “Tee Grizzley told me you make some tugh music, you put out a track, my girlfriend cums to it!”
Recap: Although we’re pretty certain that the opportunity to receive bigger paychecks played a huge part, give Charron the credit he deserves for coming back to the URL, where in the 4 battles he’s participated in this year alone, he’s had to face much stiffer competition over the course of 4 battles than he probably has during his entire career. That being said, while the Canadian vet’s penchant for fire off-the-dome polemics, killer wit, stellar personals and an often sublime punchline game will always allow him to sit at the top tier table, as witnessed here against Nunn Nunn on the Civil War 2 card, it’s Charron’s knack for longwinded rounds that often gets him in trouble. As after taking round 1 with a versatile, punch-lit, boastful and uber-witty turn that served up an abundance of haymakers and beat back a pretty solid round from his opponent, some pedestrian rebuttals and an inability to consistently match the potency of Nunn Nunn (who was steadily hardbody throughout the battle with a gang of stifling real talk darts, cunning wordplay, gritty punchlines, fiery schemes, hitting personals, spicy race angles and a dope rebuttal in round 3) during a couple of elongated turns, would edge both of the latter rounds to Nunn Nunn and give the Wilson, NC mainstay the biggest win of his battle career.
Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “Say anythingg that ain’t true and I’m a pause your whole round like J2!”
Recap: As much as we talk about his gritty trap talk and syrupy angles, too often T-Top’s wit doesn’t get enough credit for him becoming a top tier mainstay. And indeed, in this URL Resolution 2 matchup against Charron (prepped on two weeks notice), the Bear’s funny bone and versatile approach would certainly help him earn a draw. Top, using a bunch of piercing set-ups, solid storytelling and hitting (“We need a classic fileld with content, it’s only gonna work if we both do it, this ain’t a Weekend at Bernie’s and I ain’t carrying no white boy this whole movie!”) punchlines to edge round 1, before a more consistently punch-lit, off-the-dome sharp, personal-crazy and witty as ever Charron took the 2nd round to tie things up going into the 3rd. The last round was just as entertaining and competitive as the first two with Top dishing some hilarious personals to go along with a gang of fiery punches, while an elongated and a bit topsy-turvy but still scoring Charron would deliver a multifaceted turn that with enough haymakers to quantify with his opponent and make this bout a tie.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Charron – “Your bitch sucks dick in HD, mine has a PHd…the brain’s different!”
Recap: A few weeks after his memorable battle against Tay Roc, Danny Myers returns to the URL stage for a 1-rounder against Charron and delivers yet another energetic, lyrically conceptual and dope performance (without the lazy race angles). And while Danny also gets credit for having the guts to go first (after winning the coin flip) against one of the best rebuttalers in the game, that choice would ironically play a part in his undoing as the Canadian Wild ‘N Out emcee took his opponent apart with a gang of extra spicy personals, some fire punchlines, witty barbs, ill breakdowns and of course, a couple of room-rocking freestyles/rebuttals towards the end of his turn just to put the icing on the cake.
Verdict: Charron (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Charron – “For better or for worse, that remains on the table, you’re supposed to make her a promise, not make her an angle!”
Recap: Not gonna lie. All that dapping JC gives his opponent’s during a battle when they spit a hot bar can be annoying. Like, it’s one thing to hear some shit from your opp that’s fire and nod your head out of respect, but as witnessed again here, JC just be going overboard with all the handshakes. That said, nice to see Charron (aka ‘The Smack Killer’) finally back on the URL stage after a long time away on this Super Fight 6 card, the Canadian vet coming off a stellar showing against Ooops that would ironically be used against here by JC. The Pontiac, MI, rapper dishing a boatload of searing disses towards Charron in the latter rounds in light of some feeling that Charron went too far in bringing up Ooops past mental illness struggles during their battle. But then, when he wasn’t scoring with a host of deft personals, JC was also lighting up the stage with a gang of stifling punchlines, some exquisite wordplay, rich gun lines, racially-tinged tutorials and dope set-ups. And while Charron stayed close with his usual barrage of hard-hitting rapid-punches, witty personals and slick talk, outside of a crazy 3rd round that saw him put it altogether, the Wild N’ Out star’s elongated turns in the opening rounds to go along with rebuttals that weren’t as spicy we’re used to seeing to go along with some filler here and there and a sense of humor that wasn’t as sharp/versatile as you’d normally see combined with JC’s slightly more condensed and consistently-hitting turns would edge the latter both rounds 1 and 2 for the win.
Verdict: JC (W) 2-1
Favorite line: JC – “I’m back on my shit, accurate clips, a self-defense video on Tik Tok not putting you in the sky as fast as this!”
Recap: From The Riot Network, a fire battle that was close and intense throughout, Charron still manages to edge earn the win. The Canadian battler even beating back yet another sublime 3rd round from Ooops (who came 3 of his strongest, punch-heavy, consistently-spicy and righteous rounds ever) with a scathing, highly personal (he even brought out the paperwork) and punch-lit final round that capped a 1st and 2nd round filled to the rim with a boatload of fiery name flips, some stellar wrodplay, more scorching personals and hard-hitting/witty punchlines that with its ability to score one or two more haymakers in both of the latter rounds (score round 1 debatable) allowed Charron to get the vic.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “You beat cancer? I’ll murder ya crew, now we battling at the airport, your death could be Terminal 2 [too]!”
Recap: From Capitol Rap Battles, KOTD vets Charron and poRICH meet up for a rematch from their last battle that took place nearly a decade ago and tho for rhe most part it’s competitive, the same outcome is produced as despite Rich using his strong wit and punch prowess to get stronger with each passing round, a consistently hitting throughout Charron, via a gang of spicy rebuttals/name flips, witty/rigid personals, piercing similes and fiery punchlines/schemes, still manages to take each round for the 30.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “Fuck that I’m the Joker, I’ll kill you on your own show, I been Wildin’ Out, this is Charron Show!”
Recap: From The Rap Committee, pretty solid effort from N-Pose whose witty personals and piercing punchlines kept him competitive over the course of 3 rounds here against Charron. Still, despite a solid showing from his opponent, overall the Canadian vet would prove to be too much, scoring with self-deprecating humor, a couple of rare, mid-round rebuttals (and even some dope off-the-dome heat directed at someone in the crowd talking through his turn), some stellar name flips/punchlines and stinging wordplay/personals to take rounds 1 and 3 (call the 2nd debatable) for the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “My food don’t have spice, but you better act like I’m seasoned!”
Recap: Agree with the decision here as a slightly more consistently hitting, witty/righteous when need be and personal-lit Marvwon takes both of the opening rounds for the win in this KOTD tourney battle over a flow-savvy and punch heavy at times, but not as steadily-biting till the 3rd Charron.
Verdict: Marvwon (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Marvwon – “You’ll never be the champ ‘cuz real goons take chains off’a nerds!”
Recap: After getting edged by a more condensed and slightly punch-heavier Shotti P in round 1, Charron goes into beast mode, speeds up his flow and just starts spazzing with piercing punchline after punchline that led to him handily taking round 2 and 3…until what looked to be a spirited and fiery comeback by Shotti in the deciding 3rd would get upheld by Shotti again struggling with his flow before he called it quits, thus handing Charron the round and the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “Your crew’s called Zoo Faculty?, but you still ain’t got [taps himself on the chest] the G.O.A.T. locked down!”
Recap: Real Deal has been around the game long enough to know his lane. So whether it’s piercing punchlines, empathetic bars that sometimes pander to the crowd, stringent personals, a fly rebuttal/freestyle game or a combination of all of the above, there’s plenty of good reason as to why the Pittsburgh battle rapper/gym teacher has survived for so long, had a pretty solid battle career and won a couple of KOTD belts along the way. And it’s also probably why Real got to keep his belt here versus Charron as like it or not, he’s become an expert on making you feel his bars, which leaves you at your own peril when a battle against Real Deal is left in the hands of judges. That said, while a consistently spicy Charron did spit a pair of (“How you the Real Deal, you ain’t even the real champ!”) personal-heavy, storytelling-rich and punch-lit rounds to open things up (had the 1st debatable, thanks in part to a nice rebuttal by Real Deal, while the more potent Charron took round 2), a more steadily spiffy 3rd might’ve cost him here as Deal’s more winsome polemics and righteous personals gave him the edge in the final round here to make this one a draw.
Verdict: Debatable
Favorite line: Real Deal – “My father just died and he plugged it in a bar like an illuminated light!”
Recap: Another 1-round, Social Distancing battle from RBE, this time between Quantum Physics and Charron, gets a draw as on the creativity side any momentum gained from QP’s clever/witty Leave It To Beaver-like visuals and wordplay/personals gets deflected by a way-too-short turn when it came to the bars. And while Charron showed us once again what an awesome free-styler he is with the random word usage in his raps, an elongated turn combined with a bunch of so-so punches (tho he had a few hard-hitting one’s) was only enough to merit a tie.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Charron – “He’s Quantum Physics so it’s only right to have his body in two states at the same time!”
Recap: Chef Trez versus Charron for 3 rounds (not counting the added freestyle round at the end here) on the RBE stage, goes about as expected with 3 high quality rounds of spicy rebuttals/freestyles (hey, there’s an idea, with their noted acumen for dope freestyles and rebuttals, maybe Trez and Charron should form a tag-team?), piercing mayhem/punchlines and spitfire personals. Still, outside of a 1st round that Trez was able to equate in potency thanks in part to his ability to dish 3 of them thangs, an almost flawless, versatile, punch-crazy, racially transparent and off-the-dome superior 2nd round by Charron got him the lead in the battle, before a just-as-crazy 3rd round with near the amount of robust bars as the previous one won him the battle while at the same time beating back two pretty solid and rebuttal happy, but not quite as consistent turns by Trez.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Charron – “Have him see through when I’m rolling up, try to creep, slow as fuck, even when I’m sleeping I got a can on me…Homer’s gut!”
Recap: A credit to Street Hymns’ creativity and dual pen game here as the ‘fake’ Charron he’d incorporate into his raps had me fooled at first when he first showed up at the door. Then too, Street’s Bible-laced wordplay and nifty/mocking personals were also on point. And while Charron’s just-waking-up, from-the-basement-peeking visuals doesn’t come close to competing with his opponent’s more neighborhood-friendly optics, bar-wise ‘Billy Pistols’ was all-in, using some ridiculous name flips and an ever-strong (“After this quarantine you know that I’ll rap harder, ‘cuz the game needs me more than I need a black barber!”) punch game to earn a draw in what turned to be a pretty dope 1-rounder from RBE.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Street Hymns – “Man I got Quads, Quintuples, Sextuples, I done built a 4th wall more than Ted Pool!”
Recap: Delivering a wide load of fiery (“All that plug talk where you stash the cocoa, that’s a nono, this Nut’s all cap with his cane (‘caine); Planters logo!”) punchlines, sizzling personals, witty barbs and piercing 4-bar set-ups/schemes, Charron would’ve won this battle against Geechi Gottti if he hadn’t done one thing wrong: rap for too damn long. Indeed, after edging a potent and spirited-on-both-sides 1st round, the Canadian battler’s penchant elongated turns would hurt him in the latter rounds even after an almost flawless and (“We breathe different these emcees different, you gang bang I’m rich our G’s different!”) spitfire 2nd round that didn’t look like it had a chance of being beaten until Geechi came through with is own stash of steady heat, rambunctious punches, lofty wordplay/personals and 3 dope (“You wanna hear about niggas who ain’t never been on the block, rappin’ ’bout things they ain’t never did on the block?, keep watchin’ King Of The Dot!”) rebuttals for the draw. And with Charron still ahead in the battle going into teh final round and kicking yet another a savvy, personal-heavy, witty and punch-heavy turn in the 3rd, Gotti’s ability to take it up another level with a couple of fiery rebuttals that along with a slightly condensed turn that was rich with haymakers as well as hardbody gun bars, stifling personals, quality freestyles and humorous darts, allows Geechi to edge the 3rd and make this one a debatable.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “I’ll let a .9 clap you, matter of fact this AK will make the floor shake, street nigga, I took all my bitches on court dates!”
Recap: Long-awaited battle between battle vets Rone and Charron is a bit surprisingly more littered with aggressive personals than the comedic hijinks that both are known for. The matchup still makes for a close and competitive goodie tho with both rappers bringing their A-game and Rone’s 2-year break from the stage serving as a suspenseful backdrop. Still, for all of Rone’s nifty punchlines/schemes, (“But his karate-action arms, that’s his true talent, throw some melons while he’s rapping, he’ll make a fruit salad!”) witty-isms and extra confident boasts, for the first couple of rounds Charron had an answer. The Canadian spitter scoring at will during rounds 1 and 2 with a boatload of hitting (“Your whole family’s racist, I’ve killed so many Smack rappers I’m your grandpa’s favorite!”) personals, less filler, stronger wordplay, some jaunty rebuttals and a gang of potent punchlines that were enriched by their fiery set-ups. The 3rd was just as dope, aggressive and heavy on the haymakers as its two predecessors, but it’s a slightly more potent over and condensed Rone who edges the round to avoid the shutout.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “The Philly Prince Will get sonned in Cali, I’m Uncle Phil, slashed throat, they put his face on a shirt, “RIP the Frat GOAT”, this time when you go viral on a tee [T] it ain’t for fat jokes!”
Recap: Back in his hometown of Ottawa, Ontario, Charron more than delivers for the fans with 3 elongated, but superb rounds of fiery punchlines, deep-rooted personals, gripping gun bars in the form of alter-ego Billy Pistols, witty barbs, fire rebuttals and some sizzling shots at his opponent Krome’s city of Montreal. And while Krome kept things competitive throughout the battle with his own darts of righteous personals and fierce/clever, aggressive punches, Charron’s more versatile and potent showing would give him the edge in all 3 rounds.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “Talking about the Tinder app, that’s pretty likely dude, this battle is like your Tinder profile…nothing’s going RIGHT for you!”
Recap: Overall, more direct than his opponent, dishing a boatload of fiery punchlines/name flips, a dunk, feelgood wit. stifling set-ups and some nifty personals, even with some elongated turns (and one too many mention’s of NJT), a more versatile Charron does enough in the first couple of rounds to beat a fierce and gun/punch-heavy, but also a bit watered down and not as consistent Rum Nitty in this electric 3-rounder from KOTD.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “I’m the opposite of my mom’s food…I’m too seasoned!”
Recap: From Krack Liberty Battle League, proving once again how fire he is once he shows all the way up, a more condensed Nu Jerzey Twork uses a versatile mix of syrupy punchlines/storytelling, hitting personals, some stellar wordplay, hard-hitting gun bars and piercing set-ups/name flips/personals to edge the first couple of rounds and gain the win over a rebuttal/freestyle-lit and mostly punch-heavy, but not as witty as usual and a little predictable with the punches Charron. A shortened 3rd by Twork combined with Charron’s best and most consistently hitting round of the battle, would give the Canadian vet the finale.
Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Smack killer?!, aw, bless y’all Charron, we gon’ chastise Charron, put him in check, get him in check, check his testosterone!”
Recap: Houston’s Scotty, who oft-times struggles with consistency, makes for a more steady, solid and at times gritty effort here in this 1-rounder against Charron. But for all of Scotty’s effort, the visiting Canadian opponent still proves to be too much, dishing a quartet of fire rebuttals alomg with witty self-deprecating punchlines, stinging hometown heaters, random shots at other battlers and a boatload of fiery barbs/schemes during his turn to warrant the vic in the end.
Verdict: Charron (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Charron – “This ain’t the old Charron, do your research, I got the confidence of T-Rex buying smedium t-shirts!”
Recap: My guess is that Charron was just being kind, agreeing with those ‘1-1’ chants from the crowd after the 2nd round here versus Big Kannon. After all, with a dated and inconsistent BK clearly losing the first to a more versatile, preachy and potent-punching Charron, even with a racially-inclined Kannon stepping up his game and shining with more hitting ammo in the latter rounds, the amount of haymakers that came from Charron’s continuously rapid, personal, jokefest-dishing and punchline-spazzing arsenal would just be too much.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “You have the replay value of a used pamper!”
Recap: For the first two rounds here, when not doing on-point impressions of each other, Charron and A. Ward equally spout a boatload of stinging personals, fiery punchlines, righteous Godspeak, soldi rebuttals and ringing schemes to split things going into the 3rd round. Too bad neither battler’s pen could maintain the same consistency it showed earlier in the deciding round That’s moreso the case with A. Ward, who when he wasn’t too steeped in on personals, was just all over the place on bars that mostly leaned on basic then anything spitfire. And while Charron also lacked the same fire he’d shown in the previous rounds, the Wild-N-Out cast member’s penchant for witty punches along with a slew of mocking personals easily gets him the round the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “Fuck what you’ve done both years, I’ll make this cutthroat clear, this ain’t Noah’s ark there’s only one goat [G.O.A.T.] here!”
Recap: Versatile, funny, humble and (“He ain’t put in work, he just followed the steps…Chereographic [Corey a graphic]!”) punch-heavy showing by Jimz (who also gets points here for dumping the lame props) gets beat by a personal-spazzing, consistently punchline-lit, (“I asked ‘Ganic for big opponent’s, [but] they asked for bigger checks, so he got that cheap gym [Jimz] pass for someone he could fit for less!”) name flip crazy and scheme-heavy Charron in this solid 3-rounder from KOTD. And while Charron (who also let his alter-ego ‘Billy Pistols’ get some shine in the battle) gets the 30 here, Jimz’s more bar-centric and competitive showing here is definitely he can build on.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “You’re a…I can’t say that, I’m mainstream now, but you’re a part of LBGTQ, that makes me proud, I truly respect how much you’ve Dragged Queens down!”
Recap: Besides the redundant Math personal’s, I was really feeling Charron’s strategy here. Go after Serius Jones’ penchant for dated bars, his rap battle pedigree, mix in some dope set-ups/personals and a few rebuttals (along with a rare mid-round rebuttal) and get an easy win. Except to Jones’ credit, when he wasn’t making veil threats at Math, for most of the match he actually stayed in there and competed, while cleansing himself of his repeated use of bars that were nice….in 2007. Still, for all 3 rounds Charron was just too much, not just for the aforementioned tools used here, but on flow and being more succinct with his bars/kaymakers too.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “In your blog, you said I was racist, that’s how I know that you’re lame, how can I be racist?, I only took this battle so you don’t get a chain!”
Recap: Charron likes to refer to himself as the ‘SMACK Killer”, but credit Aye Verb for having none of that, showing up for all three rounds with a pretty dope, bar-heavy (“When I do a donut and get the arms moving round and round, it ain’t the ‘Get Your Roll On’ video!”) performance that kept this battle competitive and was only broadsided by lazy race card bars against a white dude with no history of even being questionably racist. Nonetheless, besides a debatable 3rd round, in the first couple of rounds Charron just came one better, with a more consistent flow, permeating name flips, witty personals and a variety of (“Put the strap to his face, that’s deja vu, they’re like ‘Charron, that’s a gun bar, you can’t write it’, yeah but it’ll sound hard as fuck once Ave. bites it!”) punchlines that kept his opponent constantly on the ropes. All in all, more than enough for Charron to win and more than enough to continue being a problem for URL’s best.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “These days you ain’t up to par, you should be a PG [A]ye!”
Recap: It’s only fitting that a rare appearance by Tay Roc outside the URL.Smack stage, here on the UDubb platform, gets met by the so-called ‘Smack-Killer’ Charron. And this one is a goodie, what with Roc slinging a load of fiery gun bars and white ‘cracker’ jokes that mostly killed, while his opponent stayed close with his own barrage of whimsical punchlines, nice rebuttals and a penchant for comedic flair.
The latter two rounds were each transparent when it comes to who prevailed with Roc taking the 2nd with engaging schemes, exquisite (“I don’t like cheese and crackers, so don’t be smiling in my face!”; “I’ll show up to his front door and I’ll nigga knock!”) race flips and gritty punchlines to beat a mostly pedestrian turn from his opponent, while Charron went ham in the 3rd, using robust (“Said I look like I cat-fished someone…well, you don’t know who you’re fucking with!”) rebuttals, some dope wordplay, mocking personals and jaw-dropping (“On Facebook you apologized to Smack for taking this match, as a family man, you should never be sorry for making some cash, he posted ‘My loyalty is with Smack, no other league’s worthy of these gun bars’, delete…disappeared quicker than a Tsu Surf gun charge!”) haymakers that certainly had a residual effect on certain onlookers.
So this one comes down to the 1st and the edge here goes to Roc, who when he wasn’t dishing more fire gun lines along with righteous identity politics and crazy personals, also scored points with his aggressive (“…I’ll have Ars like, ‘Chill out Roc, you know he autistic!”) wit and wild set-ups. And while Charron came through in the opening round with his own turn of potent wordplay/punches/schemes, a few too many dry spots and the fact his (“Those aren’t my bars, I’m not even saying then right, I just wanted to spit a Jdakiss verse before Suge does later tonight!”) best line was towards Shotgun Suge, instead of his opponent, cost him the round and the battle.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “I was in school with pussies like you, and they was all geeks, when I wanted my homework done, I kinda gave them a hard speech like, if all my answers wrong, you get fucked up, but if you get ’em right, you get to buy my lunch all week!”
Recap: The off-the-dome comedic punches and piercing flips from JShort keeps things close, but in this competitive freestyle battle from Don’t Flop, Charron’s well-executed rebuttals, more adept freestyles and witty personals are enough to handily take 12 out of the 20 rounds for the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 12-8
Favorite line: Charron – “You look like the pirate that played dodge ball with Vince Vaughn!”
Recap: Don’t Flop battle between Chilla Jones and Charron fails to showcase either battler on their A-game as a topsy-turvy Jones went overkill on a couple of angles/personals, while overall we’ve seen much better punches and name flips from his Canadian opponent. One thing, however, that was pretty consistent in this bout was Charron’s wit and after the two battlers split the first two rounds, going up against a pretty subpar turn from Chilla, Charron uses a boatload of fiery punchlines and witty barbs/personals to easily take the deciding round for the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “Don’t take offense, when sheep can’t sleep they count your schemes going over the fence!”
Recap: In this inter-gender matchup from KOTD, Bonnie Godiva serves up 3 pretty solid turns via a gang of nifty punchlines and oft-scathing shots at Charron’s manhood. But before a scintillating (and dick-checking) round by Bonnie allows her to take the final round, Charron already had this one in the bag, taking each of the opening rounds with a boatload of fiery personals, stifling punchlines of his own, stirring schemes and witty barbs that way more often than not made their mark.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “They put a scumbag verse a cum rag!”
Recap: Considering their recent sordid history it only made sense for K-Shine and Charron to settle their differences in the ring and John John da Don gives them the opportunity via his Bullpen Battle Leagues (major props to whoever does the edits btw, that shit is not only unique but fire!!!). K-Shine gets off to a hot start in round one, killing it with repeated verbal heat that consistently (“Ladder on the side on his house, I’m [points at Charron’s head] about to fix his roof!”; “Fuck is up?, smacking my hat, that’s what you wanna do?, the first time was a shitty situation, don’t make this a number two!”) landed…hard. And while Charron dropped a dope Pokemon rebuttal along with some crazy (“Last time he called ny bluff, he was decking me quickly, but I’m a 17 in blackjack, you gonna regret that you hit me!”) punches and personals that hit, a little too much filler gave the edge to Shine. Round two was a clear win Charron as despite a nice rebuttal and aggressive wordplay from Shine, a couple of slip-ups and shortened turn stood little chance when faced with Charron’s feelgood crowd-pleasers, Slim Jesus spiels and witty (“Listen pipsqueak, when you see this midget 6-feet, it won’t be a growth spurt!”) bars. Going into the last round, both battlers spit enough fire to show that they came to win in what ended being a really good battle, K-Shine, back in his bag after a substandard 2nd round, brought steady punches (“Kyrie and Lebron, I could’ve said ‘cuz it made your warrior sleep, but it’s ‘cuz you think it’s a game 5 till you get this .40 a piece!”) that landed and an ill performance that combined with a couple of (“I’ll give his back shells, like Ninja turtles, I got the ooze [oooh’s] boy you better go ask Stella I got the groove, switch hands, young Mick Jagger, I got the moves, cooking with this Mac in the box, i got the blues!”) haymakers, could’ve had anyone thinking he’d win the round. But Charron proved to be equal to the task as the self-named “URL Killer” stood the test again with more (“I thought I knew this crowd like I knew the palm of your hand!”) self deprecating humor and continued personals that hit. All told, call it even.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Charron – “Desert eagle, A-R, i ain’t saying I got that work, I’m just listing Gun Titles to give him flashbacks of Roc and Surf!”
Recap: Another dope 3-rounder from KOTD sees an uber-lyrical Cortez combine streams of sizzling wordplay, some witty, but also flexing-at-times personals and a gang of steely punchlines to edge the 1st and deciding 3rd rounds over a pretty solid throughout, humorous and hard-hitting at times, but one too many dry spots-having Charron.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cortez – “I’m a beast, woken out of his deep sleep fire in his eyes, I’m alive, and you gon’ greet me Sire, or you’ll meet Messiah, these 16’s get put to rest for trying to sleep with Tyga’s!”
Recap: Strong (tho, a little bit much on the pontificating, esp. in round 3), pretty punch-heavy and witty showing by Juan gets beat back by a more consistently punch-spazzing, storytelling, wordplay-rich, comical and rebuttal/personal-bent Charron in the latter rounds for the win in this competitive 3-rounder from Don’t Flop.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “It’s easy to write for Charron, so many angles to pick for me, [but] you’re like my internet after watching porn…no history!”
Recap: Utilizing a potent pen game to predict and mock his opponent’s penchant for adapting other battle rapper’s styles within his raps, along with a fiery punchline game, a gang of spicy rebuttals and a fire mid-round freestyle/rebuttal in the 2nd round that earned him a draw there, Charron easily beats backs an inconsistent John John da Don in the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win in this 3-rounder from KOTD.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “You lost your URL spot to Tay, you speak Spanish, you shoudl know your career is ondelay!”
Recap: Rare written’s (over beats) and freestyle battle between Charron and Dotz from Don’t Flop easily goes Charron’s way as the Canadian battler’s stable flips, sturdy punchlines and oft-ringing name flips/personals were more than enough to win a majority of both the written rounds and the freestyle’s.
Verdict: Charron (W) 15-8
Favorite line: Charron – “You look like a metrosexual baseball player!”
Recap: If freestyle battles are ya thing it doesn’t much funnier, competitive or prolific than this one as Charron and the UK’s Pedro go off-the-dome for 24 rounds of witty jokes, dope flips/rebuttals and spirited punches. However, as entertaining as this battle was on both sides, it’s still a more consistently spicy Charron who gets the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 17-7
Favorite line: Charron – “Kill him with 4 bars, it’s a Kit Kat brand!”
Recap: This doesn’t quite sound like Charron, but the video was upped on YouTube in 2015 and it’s supposed to be an 1-round, audio-only, LetsBeef.com battle from 2009, which would mean Charron was still in his teens at the time. Plus, one would think that if it wasn’t Charron that you heard here, he himself or one of his many fans would’ve gotten it took down by now. Anyway, against a solid showing from Brutally Honest, a slicker-talking Charron out-punches his opponent for the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Charron – “One shot, blink he’s gone, using all my trigger finger’s till my pinky’s gone!”
Recap: More serious of a battle than a jocular, punch-fest that you might’ve expected to see, KOTD champion Pat Stay does enough in the 1st and 3rd rounds with his rugged bully bars, righteous personals/schemes, solid rebuttals, fiery braggadocio lines and spicy flashes of mocking wit to keep his title after beating back a pretty committed, but overall less potent with his 4-bar set-ups, too pressing at times and not as consistent Charron.
Verdict: Pat Stay (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Pat Stay – “Dog, you can’t fuck with me, I’m Sucker-free, you gluten-free!”
Recap: Unbothered by Charlie Clips openly admitting to being a little distracted preparing for their battle, what with top tier names like Hollow and Luz on deck, after getting edged in round 1 (thanks to some amiable freestyles by Clips) a more consistently punching, scheme-heavy, witty, freestyle-spazzing and personal hitting Charron simply out raps his toilsome, but less potent opponent in the latter two rounds for the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “The reason I freestyle is ‘cuz it’s crazy and hype, you freestyle because you do this for a paycheck and you’re too lazy to write!”
Recap: Sorry Charron, tho you definitely got the win, this was not a 3-0 as Shotgun Suge had a pretty (“But fuck that, I step in his house like ‘Where the killers?’ [looks around] nah, I hit white boy family with the pounds like We’re the Millers”) mean, (“He want to rap. I need too”) real and (“What your life like nigga?, size 12 with a 13 cuz’ the snub don’t fit in the Tims”) gritty 3rd round. Still, despite the resident pocket-check and a nice 1st round by Suge, using plenty of self-deprecating jokes/anecdotes, easy rebuttals, hot (“I would be amazed if he put up a good fight, Chris Brown’s VMA’s, I’m fucking up Suge night [Knight}]”) bars, ill personals and dope (“You haven’t been seen since you choked on Bill…Monica Lewinsky!”) one-liners, Charron uses his first URL appearance to take another off his Jersey hitlist.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “You wanna bully a cracker, oh you thought were cool?, this is Columbine, a white boy’s taking a shotgun to school!”
Recap: 3-round freestyle battle from KOTD sees Charron toy with opponent Big Ben, using the crowd, an onlooking DNA, rigid name flips and a slew of nifty punchlines to easily beat back Ben, who after a so-so start in the opening rounds, ended up choking away his 3rd.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “Since your name’s Big Ben, it’s only right you get clocked!”
Recap: Equally solid effort here from both Charron and B. Magic comes down to a more condensed Magic edging rounds 1 and 3. And while the always witty Charron was a little more versatile overall with his bars, while also spouting a handful of nice rebuttals during the match, the Canadian rapper was hurt by a couple of elongated rounds as well as his punch-heavy opponent coming through with less filler.
Verdict: B. Magic (W) 2-1
Favorite line: B. Magic – “Metal squeeze on this bitch chest like a mammogram, one rise we all get into it like a family van!”
Recap: TheSaurus certainly made him earn it as in this dope, personal and punchline-lit KOTD rematch of an earlier freestyle battle that the two had sometime back (that TheSaurus won), Charron hits with enough witty barbs, steely punches/wordplay, storytelling bars and stinging personals to edge the 2nd round (scored the other two debatable) and take this competitive battle.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “The Saurus, you’re washed up with no future, you’re the oldest fucking book since Kama Sutra!”
Synopsis: Charron puts on an epic show in front of his hometown fans, consistently delivering dope bars, punchlines, jokes, rebuttals and personals (“I’ll give this Crip metal like the Special Olympics”) to easily take out da Rebel. How mad was Arsonal (granted he had a dope 3rd) about receiving this loss? Not only does he snatch the purple bandana out of Charron’s hand when he pulled it out, but apparently later on he’d get back his senses, recognize how nice how nice his opponent was and invite the guy to battle on UW.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “He’s a true Blood…season one owner!”
Synopsis: “Smack rappers are bitches who can’t admit that they loss”….damn!!! There’s no denying how nice Charron is (that “masked up like MF doom” line was nice, as was “taking a picture with your sister was the only time I’ve seen you with a ratchet”), but too many angles on DNA that’ve been used to death and generic bars that could’ve been used against anybody combined with DNA’s personals (esp. the “loyalty” bars) and rebuttal (pocket checking back on his opponent, the Drect rebut, etc.) game being so on point, made me give DNA the first and 3rd rounds by a nose.
Verdict: DNA (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “Your bars are like your new tooth when its back, cause you need something false in your mouth just to bridge the gap”
Recap: Dope, competitive freestyle battle between Charron and British emcee Soweto Kinch delivers high on off-the-dome adeptness, including rhyming to a variety of random objects from a plastic bag for the first two rounds (which the two split). And while Kinch, for the most part held his own against his opponent with nary a slip-up, some piercing lines here and there and a charming flow, overall Charron’s more potent rhymes/personals and flips worked with enough effect to take 8 of the 12 extra rounds for the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 9-5
Favorite line: Charron – “Scar and wounds?, I’m the best at spitting, you look like Eddie Griffin with a meth addiction!”
Recap: Facing off against a European rapper in Ilyak who when not heaving a bunch of dry wit and mostly pedestrian punches within his raps, seemed just as bent on dissing his challenger’s home league (KOTD) as he did his opponent, Charron gains the upper hand in this battle with a rousing mix of boastful shiners, deft name flips, steadfast punches and well-honed personals to take each round while pitching a shutout.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “You’re such a fag your sex life is a pain in the ass!”
Recap: Capped by a stellar string of rebuttals to start off his 3rd round, Charron flings together a boatload of mocking personals, frenzied boasts dripped in robust schemes, spitfire flips, witty barbs and piercing punchlines to beat back the raucous imagery and flippant raps of Unanymous in this 3-rounder from Don’t Flop.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “Chalk him out when I’m starting a lesson, you’re writing the same line over and over like Bart in detention!”
Recap: In a battle with 7 million-plus views (yet another testament to how popping battle rap is in the Philippines), outside of a debatable 3rd round, Charron’s witty personals and fiery punchlines are enough in the first two rounds to edge the bilingual and hilarious styling’s of Zaito and earn another win overseas. That said, credit to Fliptop for providing a translation to its English-speaking viewers.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “Your memory’s so bad you could throw your own surprise party!”
Recap: It’s well-known that battle rap is really popular around certain parts of the world and that includes the Philippines where rooms to see two emcees out-rap each other are often filled to capacity. That said, it’s fitting to see one of Canada’s finest, Charron, go overseas to battle Filipino battling vet Skarm for 3 rounds on the FlipTop stage and do his thing, beating back a solid trio of turns from his multi-flowing, but topsy-turvy opponent with an aggressive mix of syrupy personals, boastful darts, some lofty wordplay and a boatload of banging punchlines/rebuttals and score a 30.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “Y’all observe, I’ll make him watch his words like karaoke machines!”
Recap: For two battlers that allegedly ‘didn’t want to battle each other’ due to their friendship, Charron and HFK still put on a dope show for KOTD, delivering 3 spirited, highly competitive rounds that was littered with frequent boasts/disses, piercing punchlines and a slew of spicy personals and storytelling bars. Still, while the battle stayed close throughout, it’s a slightly more consistent and less pontificating Charron who edges all 3 rounds for the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “You’re an impatient, ignorant bastard who couldn’t get any fatter, eating your Advent calendar in one day doesn’t make Christmas come any faster!”
Recap: Against the witty, self-deprecating and sturdy pontifications of blind emcee Manaz Ill, after getting edged by a dope rebuttal in the 1st round, Charron uses a boatload of stinging punchlines, hard-hitting rebuttals of his own, spicy personals and boastful shiners to easily take each of the latter rounds for the win.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Charron – “You dick-sucker, always on your knees in ya house, there’s so much skeet in ya mouth you could get a bitch pregnant just by eating her out!”
Recap: Wow, apparently the judges in this final round freestyle battle between Charron and Escrol weren’t actually watching the battle as in one the greatest battle rap robberies you’ll ever see, Charron who clearly out-punched and served up some nice rebuttals at his opponent for 3 round,s somehow ends up on the losing end to a guy that outside of a weak Charron impression, didn’t do much of anything to standout, much less deserve a win, yet 4 clueless judges disagreed.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “On the microphone I’m a clever MC, being dope is something you’ll never be!”
Recap: A tournament freestyle battle with $1k on the line, in this semi-final round I’m not sure how many actual freestyles Fortunato used (as opposed to what sounded like mostly written’s or previously used mixtape material), but a gang of pedestrian lines from Fortunato plus Charron’s off-the-dome heat and spicy punches during all 3 rounds were enough to get the win regardless.
Verdict: Charron (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charron – “Look at me muthafucka, I’m your idol, hey yo Escrol I’m meeting you in the finals!”
Recap: Some awful audio here makes one have to listen to this 2-round, freestyle battle a few times before they can decipher anything, But at the end of the day the potency of Charron’s punches in both rounds clearly outweigh anything from the aggressive, but subpar Cashtro.
Verdict: Charron (W) 2-0
Favorite line: Charron – “Your name don’t hold weight, just like Fat Joe!”
Recap: Here’s the infamous video that made it to World Star of a young Charron battling a kid named Jordan Bennett in high school. Anyone familiar with Charron’s love for mean personals and sexual incest jokes can see that it started pretty early for him.
Verdict: Charron (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Charron – “You talking about fucking my girl?, you should get charged for incest because I’m dating your sister!”
Recap: Close KOTD 3-rounder between 100 Bulletz and Charron goes Bulletz’ way as the Ontario rapper’s more coalesced breakdowns of his opponent’s rap style, condensed turns and spicy personals/punchlines do just enough damage to edge both of the opening’s over a Charron who until the 3rd round never quiet seemed on his A-game when it came to consistently piercing punchlines or personals.
Verdict: 100 Bulletz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: 100 Bulletz – “In the paint sniffing, no, you in the paint sniffing my balls up in ya face pimp’in, I’m Blake Griffin!”
