While the lyrical debate is contentious, K-Shine's physical altercation in the third round effectively forfeited the battle for his team. Charron & 100 Bulletz delivered a legendary haymaker in the first and were mid-scheme when the battle was derailed. Despite DNA's impressive freestyling, the violation of conduct gives the Canadian duo the victory.

Round-by-Round
The Canadians came out swinging. Their chemistry was on point, but the round was definitively won by their massive NWA scheme, culminating in the 'Eric Wright beside an Ice Cube and a doctor' line that set the building on fire. NWX was solid but couldn't match that peak.
NWX edged this round on the back of DNA's god-tier freestyling. After some stumbles, they recovered by going completely off the top, a high-risk move that paid off and showcased their elite chemistry. Charron and Bulletz had moments but were lighter in comparison.
This round will forever be known for 'The Slap.' Charron and Bulletz were building a clever Slim Jesus angle with a prop gun when K-Shine slapped the prop, Charron retaliated by knocking off Shine's hat, and Shine responded with a slap to Charron's face. The battle descended into chaos, giving the round to C&B by default.
Analysis

What could have been a 2-on-2 classic devolved into one of battle rap's most infamous moments. The Don't Flop stage was set for a style clash between Canada's Charron & 100 Bulletz and NWX's K-Shine & DNA. The first round was a bar-fest, highlighted by a legendary NWA scheme from the Canadian duo that sent shockwaves through the venue and is still quoted today.

NWX fired back in the second, leaning on DNA's incredible freestyle ability to turn a potential choke into a masterclass of on-the-fly rapping. The third round, however, is where the battle went off the rails. During a Slim Jesus scheme involving a prop gun, K-Shine, feeling disrespected, slapped the prop from Charron's hand.

Charron escalated by knocking Shine's hat to the floor. In response, Shine delivered a slap heard 'round the world, connecting with Charron's face and bringing the battle to a screeching halt. While things eventually calmed down, the damage was done.

The conversation shifted from bars to brawls, cementing this matchup in controversy rather than classic status. It was a battle of moments, both lyrical and physical, that left fans debating sportsmanship as much as penmanship.
