6 Foot 7 Foot samples Day O (Banana Boat Song)

Lil Wayne feat. Cory Gunz’s “6 Foot 7 Foot” (2010) is built on Harry Belafonte’s “Day O (Banana Boat Song)” (1956) — a sample that travelled 54 years to get there. In SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE we spin the original and ask you to name the hit that flipped it. This one lives in the beginner crate, worth 1 point in party mode.
