The term mirror match is often thrown around too lightly. Any pair of MCs with somewhat similar qualities facing off against each other immediately gets labelled as a showdown between long lost brothers in flow. In the case of the next release from World Domination 2, the classification might legitimately apply. Ottawa's Charron and England's Cruger share a childlike appearance that has the tendancy to disarm opponents and fans. In reality, both rappers are wolves in sheep's clothing. Charron has quickly gone from an up and comer with loads of potential to one of the most accomplished battlers in the Canadian circuit, winning countless freestyle competitions and awards while building a steady KOTD resume. Cruger, on the other hand, has years of experience as one of the most innovative and original writers in the highly competitive and trend setting British scene. Which one of these patrons of the fountain of youth will find themselves victorious at the biggest rap battle event of the year?

I come back and watch this at least once a year to remind myself of the best rap battle days. Cruger's second round is my favourite in history. Killed it.

[@quicksixhatchofficial2880]

It's that time to rewatch

[@jackbeautridge]

"i ain't jealous of that one". how to body in one line

[@ohrightok9750]

I come back every now and then to hear that bar

[@mattkwong]

The "I ain't jealous of that one" line killed this for me. Cruger took this by a snip

[@Than_McDowell]

The transition from the end of Cruger's 1st verse to the start of Charron's is just uncomfortable. Cruger's rapping at a reasonable volume and enthusiasm and then Charron sounds like he's about to cry from yelling at his big brother for being in his room.

[@cris555000]

LOL True!

[@crypticraps]

Perfect representation of it, lol

[@gizelan]

"i aint jealous of that one"...ahahahahahahahaha\ funniest battle set up ever on KOTD in myopinion

[@ohrightok9750]

Every now n then, when im feelin depressed... cos i havnt got a fat gf to shag... i come back to this moment

[@CaLMCee]

cruger edges it just cus of how casually he handles charrons angry agressive style lol. just completely undermines him throughout the whole battle

[@PoopSoop98]

18:27 - "You can't win against me" 19:28 - Cruger wins against him

[@xJonLove]

Love that smile Cruger cracks every time he spits a punchline waiting for the crowds reaction hahahahaha

[@enigmatowles]

Cruger's line, "His parents took his "pawn" like a move on a chess set/" was probably the best line in the whole battle

[@freetheplay3448]

Hahah for real I always come back to this battle for that. And the fact that you need the British accent to pull it off

[@redlinethin]

Whats the point to say " 90 seconds, lets go" when it means nothing?!

[@MrDanedo]

First - Charron clearly Second - Cruger Third - Cruger (close but edged it) My opinion.

[@bensay1835]

10:10 Laughter to sadness in 5 seconds

[@imastaffi]

I love this battle still returning in 2018 for another rewatch. I'm so glad I got to see these 2 legends live before dontflop fell apart :'(

[@Beatinz11]

I love the contrast between them both! People think Charron is sick because he's so aggressive whereas Cruger is so confident in his bars he does it in his normal voice!

[@amsbeats841]

That Bandcamp line... I'm sorry but Cruger murked.

[@MCJustJ420]

I love watching Organik react to all the Laura lines in round 3 lol.

[@styxwickorfrost811]

14:26-15:02 And thats what sealed the deal on how Cruger beat Charron IMHO. What happened here is that Charron somewhat underestimated Cruger while Cruger fully prepared for Charron for atleast a round.

[@PDro11]

"I should have changed my outfit, came to the battle in a clowns kit! So he'd freestyle a whole round about it and it would sound shit." funniest bar of the battle.

[@whyclickme]

Crugers one of the nicest but he hardly battles nowadays

[@strappedup24]

Charron's first round was insane

[@reycornell9447]

Cruger gave that boy business. I never heard of him bro is nice

[@reycornell9447]

Ronan Curtis I'm a watch that

[@rhysjosephwilliams]

Cruger scheme about his girlfriend is my favourite in battle rap EVER. "I ain't jealous of dat one" I have never smiled so much

[@EyMcFly]

Cruger a savage for dissing Charron's girlfriend while she was right there LOL

[@yTrickz1]

"i ain't jelous of that one" Biggest punchline ive heard EVER.

[@jasonrenaud]

Going back and rewatching a lot of battles to judge them... this one was close but I think Cruger edged it. BARLEY !!! No bias either I'm from Canada. More punches in the third. Been rewatching a lot of Charron battles. After watching his match against Shotgun Suge. Charron would absolutely destroy Cruger now.

[@TheJeezy420]

Barely

[@patrickt.462]

I respect how unbiased your opinion is being from Canada. As an unbiased from the USA I still have to disagree. I believe Cruger took the 3rd round, barely even though Charron ended the battle on a great note giving props to fans and saying "how can Cruger affect me when I'm living the dream." Dope. But in my opinion, Charron took the first two...barely. The only way I could see Cruger taking the first round is if the judges took into consideration that whoever goes first has more pressure and whoever goes second has more ammo and rebuttals. Still a hell of a battle. And I agree that Charron would destroy him today.

[@01506]

Charron genuinely looked like he was trying not to cry during Cruger's third.

[@samster0125]

cruger bodied charron in this battle..... however charron has improved so much since this battle such a good freestyler......... charron probably best in KOTD............ watch his battle against unanimous............

[@Maggywaggy643]

Coming here After a decade to appreciate Cruger’s creativity he killed it 🔥💯

[@yanjaviertorres64]

It was close one, Cruger won 2-1 but right now in 2016 he isn't better than Charron.

[@gorillaking7486]

+Yan Torres Accurate .

[@btlgben]

yes he is. i rate Charron but cruger is fucking brilliant

[@Y2JFAN18375]

Round 1: Charron (Hands Down) Round 2: Cruger (Close) Round 3: Charron (Close) 2-1 Charron But the battle was really close so I will say it's debatable

[@runedarkwarrior]

charron played runescape lol

[@billows6216]

This event in general was chalked full of weird unexpected losses. Charron lost to Cruger, Rone lost to Nils, Pat lost to Marv. Like what even

[@dave313181]

Cruger > Charron

[@K1dDRoB0t]

Cruger 2-1... Charron was too cocky and some of his lines fell flat...

[@LilmIcraps]

charron's dope af. i never thought i'd see him lose, but ngl with the shit ppl have on him im not really that surprised. but they both did amazing regardless

[@skratch03]

Can Charron PLEASE stop screaming........ Shits annoying son. 3-0 Cruger

[@cuwer15]

" and how could crugger affect me if i live in the dream" Best line from Charron! Lmao

[@chrisjoke]

"...and slitting you to death, when Freddy here flows he's like Emily Rose: Just a bitch that thinks that he's Possessed" Easily the best line of the battle.

[@stopbeingcowards1115]

charron bodied him!!! cruger was just ok... he got crowd favoritism for starting dont flop and thats its... without him so much wouldnt exist so people give respect as they should to him and cheer him on when he spits only mediocre bars, but truth be told if a rich kid that actually spits did it he would be deemed a legend, crugers legacy is what carried him most of this battle and not his skill

[@soup8786]

stopbeingcowards the i aint jelous of that one line was a bodybog pure and simple. The definition of humiliation right there.

[@joellyos]

Round 1 ....Clearly Charron. Round 2 .... Cruger (but close) Round 3 ..... Cruger (but Charron's was dope) 2-1 Cruger (completely unbiased)

[@multiyapples]

This has to be one of the best battles ever in my opinion.

[@kareemelwakil8047]

I am a Charron fan and I would even admit he got absolutely destroyed this battle. No contest even. One of the most lopsided battles in rap history (3-0 Cruger)

[@YoImMuzzy]

The rhyme asylum bar got slept on man, the shit about emily rose.. fucking crazy

[@yamch]

charron had the cry face in the third round

[@dopesquared]

Cruger kills me.. Nice, harmless guy, always smiling, still ripping opponents apart with hilarious lines.. DOPE!

[@vikingbrowski3718]

that facebook girlfriend scheme probably is what made him win this. very good battle.

[@roughryder5]

Charron came with harder bars, but Cruger had the jokes and the crowd.

[@889jad]

Why does charron think he's bad? He'd get spun quick time in so many places in uk he's such a wasteman

[@Ihatethewaythatyou]

Crugers 3rd was lux level. Was more of a trap charron could have done better wit a flip/ rebuttal but was also baited into doing it too. Lose, lose but need cruger back on point.

[@lorbenconcepcion481]

i remember this from back in the day...gonna watch it again for that cruger homi, charron's worst loss maybe?

[@jraymond1988]

I don't think so, he also lost to Arcane and Chedda (judged) and had some more recent unjudged battles that he might have lost. I think Charron clearly won the first here, as it was his best round and one of Cruger's worst, and I thought they both had bad second rounds, but then Cruger clearly won the third. Not a body. Charron's first and Cruger's third were the only rounds I'd consider good now. Charron's third is not far off though.

[@jondoe6289]

If you can see in my mind there is something wrong with you. I don't like nerds and I don't like you. Take those corny shades of and turn your music down and turn your swag up its Brooklyn we keep it real because we know god likes that.

[@jondoe6289]

John Bently I can tell you have never been to Brooklyn. The nerds and hipsters your talking about are in the village stupid. NYC overrated? We set the fashion trends every were we go woman like the way we walk and talk. We are the media capital the financial capital. Everybody says New york this New York that,what the fuck would hip hop be without New York rap? Broooooooklyn fuck all nerds every were i am sending you all to nerdville so keep banging lmao.

[@jondoe6289]

TwoHandedSledge Hey Handria why debate with you when i already have you flip flopping lmao zip his ass up Brooooooooklyn.

[@ryattt]

It was the girl behind Organik he kept turning around and talking to. Against 100 bulletz charron addressed her directly, it was pretty awesome.

[@ricie4]

cruger 2-1

[@georgesampson360]

I think this performance from cruger might be my favourite ever

[@sultana123ish]

Results: Rd 1: Charron (cooked him) Rd 2: Cruger (close) Rd 3: Charron (close)

[@sultana123ish]

Winner: Charron 2-1

[@majestickish]

InfiniteAmmunition Your on crack if you think that charron took round 3

[@gibbi8]

"I ain't jealous of that one" line of the tournament I'd say.

[@yourreplywontberead1977]

Charron. It was obvious.

[@noname-ve7wo]

I ain't jealous of that one...... uno lavos face was awesome

[@barbie261000]

charron won

[@medzed4139]

nope

[@Moist_c0deRed]

You're crazy

[@BBLLZZ]

2-1 Cruger

[@ohdog74]

HANDS DOWN

[@killasloth666]

How the fuck did Cruger win that? Charron fucking bodied him!

[@Recklesteen]

R1 - Charron R2 - Cruger R3 - Cruger

[@azabee1]

THIS EVENT PISSED ON THERE LAST ONE- AN IDEA -DO A VOTE TO SEE WHAT BATTLES ARE WANTED THE MOST, ME PERSONALLY- PAT STAY VS DIZASTER

[@alanharding3274]

Its got him thinking…his superpower rebuttal senses tingling 🔥🔥😂

[@NQYdon]

Round 3 is probably the most destructive to an opponent I have seen in any battle. There is no coming back from that. You just have to see Soul Khans reactions in the background to realise how hard hitting it is,

[@mathenysabrina]

Damn Charron said you can call me your uncle cuz i'm uppin your anty

[@BlackStarKeepShining]

They both did great. Great battle. This is whats keeping the battle scene alive.

[@aarong7090]

Yeah definitely, the intro music and animations for World Domination 2 were the dopest - especially for the Kid twist v. 360 battle.

[@jamesherbert2489]

I don't know if it was intentional, if he knew about it or not, but that up in the anty line has been used in UK rap by a number of artists

[@TheColourfulCube]

love both of these battlers but cruger is just on another level, i freaking love him haha big up both of these battlers

[@blazing240]

14:39 when he looked at the camera I died

[@solomonitani]

Perfect judging result. Cruger deserved the win, but only on a 3-2 decision. I love it when judging hits it correct.

[@codecrt321]

It was a good slept line that was slept on, but bodybag of the century is just a bit of an overstatement.

[@iBishopEsquire]

I agree exactly with the first judges opinion.

[@simplelife88393]

Also the fact the music website is called bandcamp.. it's just a good diss many people would be proud to have conjured.

[@Vember813]

It's clearly not just the hometown crowd that like Cruger - Americans and Canadians voted for him. He even won from a unanimous decision in America from American judges.

[@RevFrUncleRuckus]

I'm not gonna lie, when I saw Marv in the back for a second I was like "Oh shit, it's Rick Ross". Lol. Cruger killed it by the way.

[@Nirvanarules45]

Cruger kills it everytime! Those last 2 rounds were crazy lol

[@christopherpearsall9117]

If you notice, no one is holding a phone in the judges. There was no timer for this battle, when a rapper stopped rapping they called "time".

[@rajakhalil4628]

The intro music for WD2 is real solid, best intro music ever. If I were in the UFC I'd want that as my entrance music.

[@codecrt321]

It was referencing another rapper who inspired Cruger named Possessed that was the punch.

[@jd5726]

Charron looks like Captain America at the start of the movie when he's small and skinny 😂

[@Rnzzy]

Charron clearly got the first round but i gave rounds 2 and 3 to Cruger. He just had slightly better punchlines and more angles and personally, i have never seen anybody else break down charron's style and character like he did. Props to both these dudes. nobody got robbed, it was a close match-up that could've gone either way

[@Revominded85]

The most hilarious shit is Organik, Eurgh, and gully trying not to turn around to look at Tarsi

[@1JYNOT]

I aint jealous of that one! crowd reaction! epic!

[@LSProducs]

Then he starts rapping and you realize he's one of the best in UK or even the world.

[@DeathRoweGaming]

Marvwon's face when. He gets the "up in your ante line" Priceless.

[@Karvante]

@14:20 look at Organik, Eurg, and Gully's face after Cruger says "Chunky in person.". LMAO!!!

[@codecrt321]

Im English and the line about "dying cause your british" was pretty sick, had good flow to it,

[@1APLpi]

charron's Girlfriend was the girl with curly hair standing behind organik watch her expressions from 14:15 - 15:45

[@QRory]

Cruger's little innocent, bland face during his opponents rounds just kills me. He looks confused/scared/unaware all at the same time

[@loganellenburg3816]

Saw Soul Khan in the background. Dude used to have some crazy battles. I'm still mad he retired without ever facing Conceited though. If you got the time you should go check out his music. It's surprisingly not cringe-worthy like most battle rappers nowadays.

[@truesoldier11231]

14:13 my favorite part of WD2 That shit was too funny, highlight of WD2

[@civoreb]

Cruger with that chess set line was nasty.

[@deathcorebuttplug]

Croquet is French, therefore has more history with a large part of Canada than the UK and actually is shown on Canadian TV, where as I have lived in Britain for all my 23 years and never heard, seen on watched anybody play it.

[@905NK]

its all good, you were good eye candy for the battle, since 90% of these battles are all dudes. Good Job Laura :)

[@terryindellicato4720]

That clown suit flip by Charron was low key genius

[@Ranortizpenn]

round 1 - Charron round 2 - Cruger round 3 - Charron. his finishing spit killed the brit.

[@donnel234]

yeah. that's what makes it even better

[@EgoManiak]

cruger's third round is one of the best battle rap rounds EVER just because he had the balls to say all this with her standing right there. much respect.

[@420Dillywilly]

14:14 to 15:05 BEST PART OF THE BATTLE.

[@IndiaEight5]

I thought Charron would have won this battle, but I have no complaints. It was pretty dope, and the decision from the judges seem to be controversial.

[@benprocter8131]

Matter? Shotty? Unan? Oshea? Lunar C? Zen? Tony D? Sensa? Psychosis Holocaust? there's loads...
