Thirty one-year-old DJ Green Arrow is looking to break the Guinness World Record for “World’s Longest Freestyle” by rapping for 52 hours. The current official holder of the title is Wu-Tang Clan affiliate M-Eighty, who freestyled for nine hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds last year.
The Brooklyn-native (born Christian Dunn) began yesterday afternoon, with the record-breaking goal being a tribute to Guru and Roc Raida. Titling the event “Suckas Need Bodyguards,” he will rap in four 12-hour intervals with short breaks in between. Arrow says the 52-hour trek will take him to all five boroughs, as well as New Jersey and Bridgeport, Connecticut. “[I’m] stopping when I get to the showing of ‘The Other Side of Hip-Hop,’ at Maysles Cinema, 7PM [on] Wednesday night (May 5). Fifty two hours is a lot and there is always something to rhyme about in New York City.”
You can follow updates through his Facebook page, where he has also uploaded pictures as well as asked people to be a part of this monumental event.
