Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne's new "6 Foot, 7 Foot" Tha Carter IV single has hopped off airwaves and already taken a step onto Billboard's Hot 100 list just weeks after its debut.
According to reports, Weezy's new record has earned a Top 10 spot.
"6 Foot 7 Foot," the first commercial release from Weezy since his stint in jail,debuts at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The lead offering from next year's highly-anticipated Tha Carter IV sold 166,000 downloads in its opening week and also claims the No. 3 spot on the Digital Songs chart. It is the second time he has debuted in the top 10 as a lead artist since September with the Drake-assisted "Right Above It." Weezy debuted the Bangladesh-produced track on television for the first time during last weekend's "SNL." He will perform it again on "NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" on December 31.(Rap-Up)
After the release of Wayne and Cory Gunz's "6'7," SOHH hit up Young Money artist Short Dawg to get his reaction to the record.
"Everyone is hearing Lil Wayne doing what he do," Short told SOHH referring to Weezy's bars. "And Cory, that's my dog. Me and Cory have been cool since he was back on Def Jam. A lot of people don't know me and Cory have a cool relationship. Cory is like one of my comrades coming over to Young Money, getting drafted. It's like when LeBron James came over to the Heat with Dwayne Wade. We were already cool and it just makes it that much better. Man, listen, both of them [are] awesome at what they do and ain't nobody can top what they did. Period. I personally haven't gotten my hand on the beat yet but if I touch it [for a remix], you already know what's gonna happen."(SOHH)
