Lil Wayne is in prime form on "6'7." For the video he got a little help from director Hype Williams for an Inception inspired video. If you haven't seen Inception, don't worry about getting lost; the Inception jacks don't go beyond special effects and eye candy.

There are quotes somewhere, but I can’t be bothered to find them.. XXL asked him.. more..
