I don't know who Chiddy Bang is, but he recently broke the Guinness record for longest freestyle rap and got media coverage and a cheering crowd in Las Vegas for it.
My question is, how impressive is this? Listen to it. I fully understand this is at the end of nine hours and 16 minutes -- I don't even mean to criticize the guy (more power to him for finding out he could exploit this) -- I just want to know the criteria for what constituents a legit continuous freestyle rap. The only requirement I can see is that you can't stop for more than 3 seconds.
Having no experience with freestyle, I just went 10 minutes rhyming nonsensically about objects in my apartment, and I used all real words (yes I rapped about my stapler making-out with my dish soap but would that be a disqualification?). At 9:15:27 Chitty raps: "I am not a failure, yo I'm rapping 'till I get to my trail-ee-or," so you can half-rhyme and screw around arbitrarily with word sounds. He repeats lines a lot, changes his meter frequently, borrows from other raps, often doesn't make sense, etc. Again, I have no issues with freestyle and know it takes talent to do it well, but since Chiddy isn't disqualified for doing it poorly at nine hours what stops just anyone from breaking his record by doing it all bad for 10 hours?
Now you say "10 minutes is not nine hours". Of course, but even Chiddy says he otherwise does freestyle for a half hour every day, and had never gone anywhere near as long as 9 hours before. So it seems like if you can do it for a long time, you can do it for a REALLY long time, too.
Look at this one,too: Fully Sick Rapper Achieves World's Longest Rap at 9 Hours 20 Minutes. This one's longer than Chiddy's, is also sponsored by an energy drink, but apparently doesn't count (it was 9 hrs 20 min, back in 2010) . Does it not count as a record because he rhymes "psycho" with "marshmallow" and then talks about marrying a marshmallow bride? I actually prefer this one. At least Fully Sick Rapper admits at the start how ridiculous the whole thing is, whereas Chiddy self-aggrandizes to a crowd of thousands for his marathon of nonsense (while talking about how easy it is).
My point? Some of you meth heads could certainly beat these records by eating a handful of shards before you start. So, if you want to be famous for a day, get your name in the media, get laid, etc. here's the easiest way ever Bluelight. Godspeed.
