Rapper D.O. recently set the Guinness World Record for the "Longest Freestyle Rap," rapping for a stunning 8 hours and 45 minutes.
The event took place at the Darknights Nationals, a car show and urban lifestyle event in Canada.
Guinness enforced one 15 minute break on the rapper and in order to verify that he was actually freestyling, spectators wrote a variety of topics on a white board for the rapper to include in his rhyme.
"I could have kept going," D.O. said. "I wanted to raise the bar." he said, thus rhymed for nearly 9 hours.
