Image Credit: RD/Erik Kabik/Retna DigitalWhen Lil Wayne got out of Rikers Island last month, many expected the prolific rhymer to hit the studio and release a single as soon as humanly possible. He didn’t. Though he did get back to work, it wasn’t until just minutes ago that “6’7,” the lead single to his forthcoming Tha Carter IV album hit the Intenet. It’s a frenetic, bass-heavy banger made by the same producer who set the tone for Weezy’s last Carter, Bangladesh. He’s the beatsmith behind 2008′s surprise monster “A Milli.” And this one aims to trump its success. Meeting the challenge on the hookless song, Wayne’s rhymes are as slick as ever.
Addressing his competition, he raps “I do it like a king do./ If these n—– animals, I’mma have a mink soon.” And referring to his recent jail stint, Wayne says the hard time wasn’t that rough at all. “I got through that sentence like a subject and a predicate,” he spits. His skills haven’t diminished a bit.
Have you heard “6’7″ yet? What do you think of it? Sound off in the comments section.

You consider these lyrics to be intelligent? WTF?!
and your intelligence is so great that your comment reflects. you will never accomplish any thing half as great so sit there and take your anger and frustration out on someone that you will never see and no one will ever see you. all i see is a victim -selah (that means think about) your a turtle… slooooow
Sweet can’t wait and ShortPeopleDate was pefect
it really has nothing to do with intelligence, more like lyrical symmetry would be my play of words to describe lil wayne, hes really not that bad
Lil Wayne sucks! Those lines are crap. It’s sad that people think that is quality rap.
Whyy Da Hell Yu Hat’n On Da Man ?. Which “Other” rapper can come up withh ah rhyme liike “Real “G’s” Move in silence like lasa”g”na ” ?
Intelligent is finding a market where he is able to make a bunch of money. Ehh where is 2 PAC and Biggie? If they were still around, Lil Wayne would be working at BK!!
2PAC and Biggie? What the f*** dude! Listen to some real rap woulda! They both suck!
if his “skills” haven’t diminished I guess that means he stills writes like a 12 year old corner crack dealer in juvy. based on what EW quoted above he has less than zero creative talent.
all you haters should shut the f**k up! Wayne IS the BEST and you know it.
saying Wayne is the “best” rapper is like saying he’s the freshest diaper at the dump. I think it’s a toss-up which lines are better…Wayne’s latest one about n****s or Kanye’s about douches. they’re both pretty classy.
Who wrote this, Lil’ Wayne’s publicist?
hi haters
Lil Wayne’s songs are vastly overrated but he but at least he’s like able. That’s more than i can say for Kanye. But at least he makes good music…
I have to say I was hoping he’d come with some real lyrical talent, but yet again I was let down. The beat is hott though and lets be honest at the end of the day that’s all most people care about anyway
yeah bc people that usually post here like you are somewhat moronic..find something positive to say ya lightbulb lol
he’s finally….BACK!!!!!!! LIL TOOCHIE!!
its
“Tunechi”
idiot
Its Tunechi but at least u aint a hater like the rest of these m0r0nZ.
wtf is tenuchi? wayne did a lil punk ass bid and all he does now is rap about it like anybody cares. people dont like wayne cuz hes a gangster, they like him cuz he was born rich and for a year or 2 was buzzin, i think hes garbage and im not hating, he sucks and thats it. as for kanye west, hes a big baby and deserves to die.
haters dat shi# go hard if u dont like that u AINT a RAP fan,n u probably white lol.
wow….the public school system failed you in a BIG way.
could you be more ignorant please?…im waiting
What does it have to do with race, Imma huge Wayne fan and I’m white. you should enjoy the music and stop stereotyping people, real talk
Gotta love the haters who hate so much but yet have time and enjoy posting on this article anyways =)) make up your mind, hate or prop but dont talk ISH then listen and comment and listen to the song again silly noobs.
I’m not much into rap, but I could look at Lil Wayne ALL day long! Yum.
u gotta love the haters who could be off listening to “good” music but instead choose to comment on lil wayne reviews, even though they supposedly hate him. i dont go anywhere near any videos or reviews of people i hate (like pit bull) cuz i have BETTER THINGS TO DO. we understand u dont like him, soooooo why r u here? go read about some1 u LIKE it only makes sense.
Okay first off I would like to say lil wayne is not the worst rapper ever. He is a Bplus lyricist with a B minus beat. This song he has is completely different than any other song he has ever had. He shows maturity by what he writes in this one and if you take the time to listen and compare you notice some big differences in what he is trying to say. lil wayne no longer sees himself as the posterchild for weed, sex, and money. Now I feel like judging simply off the lyrics of this song that he is actually trying to get across a message about life and how he sees it. Seriously this a different type of song from him than what I would expect. I can’t wait to hear the whole album. Everyone on this forum sucks by the way. Oh and btw you all for the most part are the stupidest people I have ever read to and it pisses me off that people like some of you can completely miss the meaning of what LW wants to say here. I used to be a hater but honestly I think I will definitely buy this album.
The song waz hot. Obviously u ddnt actually listen to da song if u thot it sucked.
