Last night at the O Music Awards Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege of Chiddy Bang beat the Guinness World Record for the longest freestyle rap. Rooted on by the likes of Matt & Kim and hundreds of fans, Chiddy beat M-Eighty's previous record of nine hours, 15 minutes and fifteen seconds by rapping for nine hours, 18 minutes and 22 seconds.
What does a guy even rap about for that long?! Details are few and far between with a lack of footage covering the entire freestyle, but MTV got a couple piece quotes from Chiddy on his process:
"I freestyle probably, like, once a day" said Chiddy. "That's better than a lot of people, if you really think about it; I freestyle once a day for like 30 minutes straight. I never put myself to this maximum test, but it's very exciting for me, and once this all done, it'll be like, 'Wow I didn't know I could go that long.' "
"It's a marathon, not a race" Chiddy continued. "It's all about pacing yourself. I tend to be very, very hype when I rap. This time, I realize I'm gonna rap for like nine hours, so I'm not gonna come out of the gate hyped. I'm just gonna pace myself and ride that thing out, ride it till the wheels fall off."
