Song of the Day #56: 6 Foot 7 Foot

Lil Wayne (ft. Cory Gunz) – 6 Foot 7 Foot

To me, this is one of those rare tracks that has commercial appeal as well as artistic integrity in mainstream hip hop (Kanye’s recent album was like this, also). What makes this special is that the format of the song is so unconventional – instead of alternating between rap verses and sing-along choruses, the entire thing is rapping. The beat is by Bangladesh.

“Real G’s move in silence like lasagna” – Has to be the best Lil Wayne line I’ve heard.

My only criticism is that I don’t like Cory Gunz at all. The track would be better off ending with Wayne’s verses.
