Joey tacks a verse onto Twista and Wayne’s "Whip Game Proper." I’m not sure that this necessarily warranted its own post, but hey, any excuse to use that picture.

Don’t let the name fool you, it’s not a freestyle. It’s actually an album cut with production from Scott Storch.

We just threw up this Canibus Q&A over at the 9-to-5 and I thought you ‘bags would get a kick outta this:
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 you mix 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.
Poet Laureate I and II were off the planet lyrically, but wow, is it really that serious? Hopefully I’ll be getting my hands on this in the next few days, so I guess we’ll find out then.
.I posted the audio to this a while back, here’s the video.
