No Bias. No Narratives.
Recap: Big Kannon’s debut on the KOTD stage goes about as well as expected against an overmatched Dunn D, whose light schemes and mostly pedestrian bars are no match for Kannon’s way more exquisite punchlines and meatier wordplay.
Verdict: Big Kannon (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Big Kannon – “For me to compensate the room, I’ll just talk about how ya not a famous dude, because most your country populates their views from boxing kangaroo’s!”
Recap: I’m glad that Cortez mentioned staying in Australia for a couple of weeks, because Lord knows you shouldn’t travel 24 hours all the way to Australia from New York just for a battle and turn back right around. Instead, make it a vacation and roam around, check out the place, touch a kangaroo, etc. That being said, nice battle between (“Yall know me, Cortez, Brooklyn, I kill shit offhand, Mason Betha, he can preach and diss all he want, I’m sill gonna get the win on Cam!”) ‘Tez and veteran battler (“…turn ya cerebral cortex into a lobotomy!”) Dunn D with both having their moments throughout the match while keeping the crowd hyped. Still, after sort of an up-n-down 2nd round that saw him fumble a bit, thus splitting the battle going into the 3rd, Cort used an obligatory ‘Something We Gotta Talk About’ theme to get personal and score with hitting barbs on his opponent’s career or lack thereof and beat back a solid turn by Dunn D.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cortez – “Damn, I thought you was the man on this rap shit, but you ain’t looking how I thought you looked…I was catfished!”
