Poet Laureate Infinity: A concept invented by Germaine Williams 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 or songs 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 "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 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 ____________________________________________ - UPDATE, fan made mix from these vocals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OJEXukBNaA - Original mixing board (but not fully functional as it once was): http://canibuscentral.ihiphop.com/site/media/pli_mixing_board/ - Download in high quality (Updated 2016-05-23): https://www.dropbox.com/s/gbb8n2rrdepihtk/Canibus%20-%20Poet%20Laureate%20Infinity%20%28All%20layers%2C%20Original%20beat%29.wav?dl=0 - Wanna mix?
