I don’t even know where to start with this video. It’s all over the place, beginning with an Inception reference as Lil Wayne is forced awake by being dunked into a tub filled with water. From the start, you’re led to believe that this clip, Weezy’s “6’7′” visual, will be a huge brain-racking adventure — as Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster adventure was. Then it gets literal, very fast. When he raps about how he’s lost his mind, he’s actually jumping after it. And when he spits, “Mind’s so sharp I’ll f— around and cut my head off,” rest assured the his skull’s going to hit the floor.
Watch the video after the jump.
If not for the unintelligible Inception knockoffs, this clip would be quite amazing. There are more than a few potentially iconic shots from director Hype Williams. But its story, if one even exists, is lost on me. Is it all a dream? Is this wild life we see Wayne living real? Your guess is as good as mine. Hopefully you’ll dig it more than I did.
Am I sleeping on this “6’7′” video? Watch it and let me know.

heyy u here in ale chillin
GREAT VIDEO! Finally making real video’s again i guess he and Baby are trying to scoop up some music video awards this year?. nice..
everything made sense in the video as well it wasn’t crappily put together or cheap.
Not like the other rap video’s where they all are the same: “a car, barely naked women, money thrown around, Jewelry shown, Alcohol, a group of thug standing around…. lol i summed up an entire week/weekend of watching BET right there.
I cant see it on my ipad… did he make a visual representation of “real G’s move in silence like lasagna”?
This idiot is setting back the black race 50 years.
This idiot is Paid! And Well! Are you? Not as well as him, so who’s the Idiot?
yeah he showed a plate of lasagna
Lol:) i was thinking the exact same thinking…..”whoah this vid is pretty literal, but i bet he aint gonna really show lasagna…what..wait..he just..he…..he showed some lasagna *smh*
a true genius from the Andrew Dice Clay school of songwriting.
hes a good lyricist with a talent for rapping. if you think there is he has no talent then why dont you start making millions doing what he does. GREAT TO HAVE WEEZY BACK
the garbage he writes doesn’t qualify to be called “lyrics” at all. he makes millions because he’s little more than a pornographer peddling sex and violence. I refuse to be involved in L’il Brayne’s creatively valuless degradation. I do enjoy taking a few moments to call it what it is. trash.
What in the world is iconic about this video?!
you can say you hate weezy all you want but if you dis like his music so much do you feel the need to comment on his work all the time
Love LiL W’s work he’s on top of his game. I work in Afghanistan, would be nice to see him make a tour for the troops. Talk about making money.
THAT IS MHY SONG
so-called rappers like LILLYwayne actually do a disservice to the artform rap music is.they are not the wordsmiths the originators were.all of their crap is about violence and hos.ending each line in words that rhyme ain’t rap.it’s what children do.and what’s this i hear about SILLYwayne knowingly banging a jailhouse transvestite?
jason,you are 100% right about lil gayne setting the black race back.he’s like steppin fetchit and when he is the only example whites who are unfamiliar wth black people constantly see,it only increases any stereotypes they may have.here’s an example of the damage lil shayme and his ilk are doing,there is a rock song with the lyrics that go something like “everyone has a part inside them that is a theif,a rapper or criminal”
oh,and NO straight man should EVER wear skinny jeans.
if yall HATERS dont like him y r yall watching his videos n listening 2 his songs.I dont like corn flakes, I dont talk down about kelloggs I just pass it up & go str8 2 the frosted flakes… I say that 2 say this, STOP HATIN. the man is gettin legal money
