Epiiiiic!!

Poet Laureate Infinity:
A concept invented by the rapper Canibus in 2007. The song contains 5 different 200 bar layers, for a total of thousand bars. It was originally displayed on a virtual mixing board online. Essentially, you would press play and all 5 sets of 200 bars would play at once, with 4 muted.
You could at any time, mute one, and unmute a different one. And do this every single bar, and no matter what they would flow to make a new rhyme. As it was designed to make infinite rhymes there were countless different mixes that could be created.

Infinite rhyming consists of layers that share the exact same rhyme scheme and flow. By putting each layer into a separate channel of a mixer, it gives the user the ability to switch between layers seamlessly. This while still maintaining a coherent rhyme structure, content, rhythm and flow. Thereby allowing users to create their own songs, or mixes, in an infinite number of ways. This video displays how it was recorded, but as stated above, you can create totally new content with it.

Layer 1, Couplet 1:
I spit rhymes for your pleasure/ You listen at your leisure/
I only record it once you listen to it forever/

Layer 2, Couplet 1:
I spit at a thousand KIPS, kilo tonnes of pressure/
Every letter is measured/ in such a way you will remember/

Layer 1 0:20
Layer 2 11:02
Layer 3 21:45
Layer 4 32:27
Layer 5 43:09

"I guess you can't write an infinite rhyme with a finite mind
That's why rhymes like mine mystify mankind" -Canibus, 2001

"Bis has taken emceeing,poetry,philosophy all to another level with this.He should have gotten recognition for this years ago.
If you don't know what this is read the description go to the live mixing board, and become entwined with this magic." - MakingLuv2DaUniverse

"I don't think it is an understatement to compare this to 'The Waste Land' by T.S.Eliot due to the sheer complexity and numerous literary, philosophical, mythological, historical and cultural references. Bis seems to delve into the scientific realm which Eliot doesn't seem to touch on. There is also (to some extent) layering in 'The Waste Land' with the different sections and fragmentation, it is pure genius and from my opinion Bis is almost recreating the master peace but approaching the topic from a completely different angle." - datrinidadboy

"Ive showed this epic tune to many people no one can really feel it or comprehend it. My only friend with a 5 year history major was blown away by it, he didnt even like hip hop before i showed him this because hes an artsy kinda guy n everything hes ever heard of from the rap world is pretty artfully garbage. I introduced him to the underground hip hop world. If u understand alot of these concepts uve most likely went to university, spent alot of time reading and watching documantaries. This song is for the artfully gifted to study and analize not for the weak minded or weak hearted." - BobbyBuntasTV

"Absolutely phenomenal. Aggressive pounding beat with world class lyricism. This would come off as pretentious from anybody else but Rip the Jacker keeps it within the realm of tasteful and innovative. This track and C of Tranquility plus many others set the bar to an unachievable level. People will rag on him for choking and it going viral but everytime I hear this he is totally redeemed in my eyes. People also rag on the science and medical terminology and conspiracy theory references but the way I see it these are just new words to hear alliteration and multi syllabic rhymes weve never heard said before." - Dustin Hiser
