Despite that he seems to lose more and more fans with each release as he goes further “out there,” Canibus continues to put out more and more material. He gears up to release his tenth (!!) album this spring with For Whom The Bell Tolls. While he may be making some bad albums over the last few years, the man can still blaze a microphone when it comes down to it.
No stranger to making 100 or 200 bar songs, Canibus will continue his incredible Poet Laureate series this album with the 1000 bar Poet Laureate Inifinity. 1000 bars?!? I know right, but it’s not quite what you think. ‘Bis explained this track to XXL.
“The album is 17 tracks and “Poet Laureate Infinity” is the grand finale on the album. There are 1,000 bars in that track and due to the way it’s layered, it’s an infinite rhyme. When youmix it and spread it throughout five channels, [you have the ability] to mix the track differently every time. Because when you hear the mix, whichever one you hear, you are only listening to one layer at a time. But there are four other layers there. You are only going to be hearing 200 bars per record. But at any moment and every moment, there are 800 bars that you’re not listening to. So I’ve created something that’s never been done before. Every time it’s mixed, you’ll hear a different song.”
