The Crows Nest

There was no "World Domination" 4 KOTD this year.
KOTD opted to skip the biggest event of the year to focus on a few things
(fast forward to "Flatline 3")
A pretty good card marred by minor issues. 
Its unfortunate that most of KOTD mega events in 2014 have a pattern of cancellations.
The matchups @ this year "Flatline" are interesting IMO.
With a mixture of high and low profile encounters.
KOTD latest event has all bases covered.


As in life there are GOOD times
There are BAD times
With the main event looking like giant a stuntman of Marty Mcfly (no Knamelis) vs Django.
Shit was bound to get UGLY......................



THE GOOD


-SHOUT OUTS
-Props to Organick , Gully , Bishop B , La Sparka, Avocado and the entire organization @ KOTD for pulling off a decent event.
-Every battlerapper in the building and on the Card.
-The entire land mass that is Canada
-James Roosevelt and 100 bars magazine
-Salutes to DDotOmen.com & Exenexex
-Every poster on OTBVA.com

-BACK TO OFFERING THE ALTERNATIVE.
Besides the co promotion for the Teddy Grizzle event. 
KOTD has kept a low profile since "V2R". 
Sure they threw a few minor events in Canada (yet there was a huge gap between megaevents for KOTD) All of this means nothing now that KOTD is back to offer up some alternative battlerap 2 the masses

-TAXING RAW
Shouts out 2 Tycoon Tax for having a pretty GOOD consistent showing against Rosenburg Raww (crowd or no crowd he deserves his due)

-TEZ IN THE NORTH
Despite the hiccup (that Tax battle)
Cortez is a pretty formidable foe in KOTD
His string of GOOD performances against former champs/top tiers should garner some type of respect ? (right) lol

-REMACTH ON LESS THAN A DAY NOTICE!
Special props to Rone & DNA for going @ it on 2 hours notice (if I heard right)
Thats extremely rare these days and should be commended IMO.

-RONE's PLIGHT
(speaking of Rone)
Gotta tip ur hat to that man.
Not only does his URL battle gets vaulted. 
Rone constantly faces no shows/cancellations from names like Eness,Remy, JC and now Uno (no matter the issue Rone is on hand to perform)
Which he did here against a game DNA.

-CHARRONE ONGOING MOMENTUM
Another event and yet another great showing by Charrone. 
Who keeps up that huge amount of momentum he gained from battling Bmagic,Shotgun Suge and (now) Charlie Clips.

-GOOD FLATLINE MOMENTS
Npose and Lex in a decent battle on short notice.
Chilla with a GOOD showing.
Cane material was slept on (IMO)
Day performance was top notch here , his 3rd>>
Pat doing enough to secure the title.



THE BAD

-GZ BATTLE KILLING THE CROWD
The (returning) ZM took on Flexplicit @ thie event. 
The battle was moved up due 2 the changing undercard of this event.
It damm near killed the crowd and sucked all the energy from the room.

-CURVING CHARRONE
In all honesty Charrone secured his title shot more than a year ago.
It seems KOTD is more concerned with giving anybody a shot @
Pat Stay not named Charrone.
This being the 1st mega event in Canada since Blackout 4 would have been a great look (unfortunately KOTD curved Charrone in favor of Daylyt)

-REAL SHIT CAUSING FREESTYLES
Clips explaining throughout a 3 round loss of going thru real shit.
Which led to him fresstyling the entire battle.

-URL LIKE SYMPTONS
(Not the good type either)
The event was filled with minor audio issues that disrupted the rounds of Rosenburg Raww, Chilla , and pretty much made Dialect accent sound unlistenable.

-THE PATTERN
Yeah the battle between Bulletz and Rum was not the most anticipated of the evening.
Like most mega KOTD events dealing with American talent , a host of issues prevented a number of performers not 2 attend. 
Ooops and Rum nitty was held up due 2 passport issues.
While border issues prevented Lottazay from attending.



THE UGLY

-UNO's WEATHER FORECAST
Which called for missing the event due to extreme weather conditions.
While it is true the northern part of the country is getting hit with some major snow (just knowing UNO vs Rone is a no go is UGLY as fuck)

-BATTLERAP IN THE AM
Reports of the event starting @ 10pm are crazy.
KOTD gets the nod for introducing late night Battlerap 2 the fold.
Main event finally starting around 2am.

-DETONATING THE BOMB GIRDLE
Some things are best not replicated IMO.
The rematch itself was fine between Rone and DNA. 
What was UGLY was DNA replicating the actual bomb prop which made the 1st battle memorable.
The unflattering image left DNA looking like he had a makeshift girdle on.

-SHITTING TO SLAVEAWAY
Funny what taking a mock shit can do for u these days. 
While I understand the great showings against Clips and Chilla.
(that by no means warranted this title shot)
KOTD was smart on banking on Day making this memorable. 
The pro black scheme centered around KOTD was smart but 2 integrate a prop in a statement during a title match is a reach. Add in the recycled stuff and a Pat (who would have lost) had Day put more focus on actually getting the chain.
Makes u wonder if Day is really a slave of his own antics.............
