This single belongs to Tha Carter IV album. Some people try to explain the name of the song as the reference to the time he spent in jail. The "6'7" is the size of a cell in prison.

In it, he announced himself the best rapper.
Love Me
Love Me enters the I Am Not a Human Being II album. Lil chose the best performers to feature the hit: rapper Drake and singer Future. Here they stood alone from difficult issues and devoted the song to women. Hot discussions about the girls' role in this track continue up till now.

Uproar
The collaboration with Swizz Beats reveals all signs of modern hip-hop culture’s impact. However, it does not say that Wayne’s music sharply changes every year. He has the talent to be himself: he uses some new tricks but remains good old Wayne. The banger Uproar is the 4th single in the latest album named Tha Carter V.

Everything here is ideally tailored: intriguing name with deep sense and melody, raising fear in the soul of the listener.
