Creating Lil Wayne's '6 Foot 7 Foot'

Legendary producer BangLaDesh gives a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the backing track for Lil Wayne's smash single "6 Foot 7 Foot," the first single from the 2011 album The Carter IV.
The Atlanta, Georgia-based producer first gained recognition in 2000 for his collaboration with Ludacris. He then went on to produce successful recordings for other major acts, including Beyoncé, Petey Pablo, Kelis, and more recently Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj.
In 2008, he created the backing track for Lil Wayne's huge hit, "A Milli."

I wish i could have a week wit him to teach me errything he knows

[FlickNchow]

Damn, where do I get an 808 that sounds LIKE THAT? is that custom made? The bass fucking slaps you in the face.

Yeah he's just "pushing buttons" on the drum pad, but he's still a producer or musician whatever you wanna call it cus you still have to understand pro tools, ableton, fl studio, any DAW. After, you understand the DAW, you have to understand the vsts and you have to know how to make a synth. After you make a synth then you have to have some musical sense and play the piano to make midi for the synth you just made. After you're happy with your drums and sounds you gotta mix and master. No talent?

[MethshockFilms]

Looks like he has made a nice amount of money.

Damn, I had no idea this beat was made on an MPC 2000XL, such an old unit. Gonna see if I can remake this beat on my 2000 Classic someday.

MASTERS OF THE MUSIC TOGETHER

[suicidenotebeats]

bangladesh is best producer in our era 🤌 master mind

[yolawd]

3/4 of hits nowadays are produced on fl. #FLGANG

[mathematics]

Agreed, if this shit was that easy all the guys with FL and a DAW would be making hundred thousand dollar beats, but they don't...

[ALLEYCATZ]

lil wayne did not even pay Bangladesh for this beat. That's fuck up.

[AuTToTune]

damn wonda watta happen if T.I woulda had da beat???

[Chopcity]

thats all u need to get in the music industry is something catchy sucks but thats the future of music

[thevideoknife]

I don't think T.I. would have taken this song to the same level. Doesn't mean that Wayne is better, it just means T.I.s company and his audience want more than just a dope drum beat to sell his songs.

[pretty_innie]

Yea part of this beat reminds of that song by Harry Belafonte- Day oh. It's in the movie Beatle Juice.

[treybalthazar]

U still have to mix and master The shit dude. its not easy

[EntactMusic]

no you aernt man
i respect that you use fl you dont kneed
mpc's to do things it just helps

[KillaKRS]

Ha lets put you in the exact same studio with 6, 7 playing and i promise you couldnt even come close to making a beat this good.
