B

On Rap BNGRZ ๐ฅ (bangers, spelled properly), the premise is simple and like other columns gracing The Musical Hype (Outlandish Rock ๐ธ๐ค is its rock brotha from a different motha). BNGRZ provides background info and commentary on cocky, confident, ferocious hip-hop/rap songs. The bangers featured on BNGRZ can be brand-spanking-new or certified classics. On the 10th edition of Rap BNGRZ ๐ฅ (2022), we break down the banger status of ๐ต โ6 Foot 7 Footโ performed by ๐ Lil Wayne.Theme & Lyrics โย
โSix-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch / Six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch.โ Who knew that sampling ๐ Harry Belafonte could be so gangsta? ๐ Bangladesh certainly helps ๐ Grammy winner ๐ Lil Wayne transform ๐ต โDay-o (Banana Boat Song)โ into something much less innocent โ ๐ต โ6 Foot 7 Foot,โ of course! Wayne is assisted by rapper ๐ Cory Gunz on this standout from his 2011 album, ๐ฟ Tha Carter IV.
โ6 Foot 7 Footโ is a straight-up, minimalist street banger.ย The beat goes hard, the sample is lit, and the few synths add personality. Lil Wayne has personality for days, not to mention explicit lyrics that hit you right in the chest.ย โTwo bitches at the same time; synchronized swimmers / Got the girl twisted โcause she open when you twist her,โ Weezy spits, continuing, โNever met the bitch, but I fucked her like I missed her / Life is a bitch, and death is her sister.โ Woo! That, of course, is only a portion of the first verse โ he drops a second with no shortage of ether.ย Of course, Cory Gunz gets into the mix in the third verse:
โDisturb me, and you’ll be all over the floโ like Luda
Bitch, I flow like scuba, bitch, Iโm bold like Cuba
And I keep a killer ho, she gonโ blow right through ya.โ
Final Thoughts ๐ญ
Even though โ6 Foot 7 Footโ is more than a decade old, it remains a kick-ass rap banger! Itโs the aggressive bars by Lil Wayne and Cory Gunz and the strong production work by Bangladesh.ย Again, that Harry Belafonte sample is the cherry on top.
