On Saturday, December 19, M-Eighty broke the record for Longest Freestyle Rap, recognized by Guinness World Records, after rhyming for nine hours, fifteen minutes and fifteen seconds.
The previous record holder wasD.O., and Supernaturalhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif also reportedly rhymed for nine hours but was never recognized by Guinness World Records.
After breaking the record, M-Eightyspoke on the feat.
"Today was an amazing feat and a marvelous accomplishment for myself as an artist and as a person. Right here, right now I have something that no one can take away from me or try to discredit. I thank my many hip-hop inspirations and those who attended today's event for allowing me to conquer this goal. I feel like I have finally done something that even the people who hate me have no choice but to respect and congratulate and that is a rare and good feeling."
Advisors at the Guinness headquarters still must review the footage and check that the proper paperwork was submitted in order to officially crown M-Eighty the record holder.
According to a press release,M-Eighty is also helping Nigeria with this quest.
