The track is Lil Wayne's 2010 single 6 Foot 7 Foot, released as the lead single from Tha Carter IV and featuring Cory Gunz. Built around a sample and a relentless, wordplay-heavy performance, it became one of Wayne's most quoted songs and a staple of hip-hop playlists. On short-form video and soundboards, the opening counting hook is the part most creators reuse, because it is instantly recognisable even to listeners who do not know the full song. That familiarity keeps it in rotation for sports edits, hype reels and meme compilations years after release.
About this sound
The opening hook from Lil Wayne's 6 Foot 7 Foot, with its rapid-fire counting flow over a booming beat, used in edits, hype videos and basketball highlights.
This clip captures the instantly recognisable opening of Lil Wayne's track, where he counts up in feet over a pounding, cinematic beat before launching into a fast, confident verse. The delivery is sharp and boastful, with punchy drums and a rising tension that makes every bar feel larger than the last. It sounds like a hype anthem built for big moments, turning an ordinary edit into something bold and swaggering. Listeners recognise the rhythm almost immediately, which is why it lands so well as a drop, a transition, or the soundtrack to a highlight that needs instant energy and attitude.
