Theme & Lyrics  

Bitmoji Image“Six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch / Six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch.” Who knew that sampling 🎙 Harry Belafonte could be so gangsta? 🎛 Bangladesh certainly helps 🏆 Grammy winner 🎙 Lil Wayne transform 🎵 “Day-o (Banana Boat Song)” into something much less innocent – 🎵 “6 Foot 7 Foot,” of course! Wayne is assisted by rapper 🎙 Cory Gunz on this standout from his 2011 album, 💿 Tha Carter IV.

Bitmoji Image“6 Foot 7 Foot” is a straight-up, minimalist street banger.  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.  “Two bitches at the same time; synchronized swimmers / Got the girl twisted ‘cause she open when you twist her,” Weezy spits, continuing, “Never met the bitch, but I fucked her like I missed her / Life is a bitch, and death is her sister.” Woo! That, of course, is only a portion of the first verse – he drops a second with no shortage of ether.  Of course, Cory Gunz gets into the mix in the third verse:

“Disturb me, and you’ll be all over the flo’ like Luda

Bitch, I flow like scuba, bitch, I’m bold like Cuba

And I keep a killer ho, she gon’ blow right through ya.”

Final Thoughts 💭

Bitmoji ImageEven though “6 Foot 7 Foot” is more than a decade old, it remains a kick-ass rap banger! It’s the aggressive bars by Lil Wayne and Cory Gunz and the strong production work by Bangladesh.  Again, that Harry Belafonte sample is the cherry on top.
