67 MEME SONG: DOOT DOOT (6 7)

"I know he dyin' / 6-7 (oh my God)..." If you've been on TikTok or Instagram lately, you've definitely heard this drill beat drop. But what exactly is "Doot Doot (6 7)", and why is everyone obsessed with these two numbers?

The Origin Story

The viral "67" aesthetic

"Doot Doot (6 7)" is a drill rap song by American rapper Skrilla. While it saw an unofficial release in late 2024, it officially dropped on February 7, 2025, via Priority Records. Produced by 1Ellis, the track was later included as a bonus on the deluxe edition of Skrilla's album, Zombie Love Kensington Paradise.

The song didn't just stay in the underground drill scene. It exploded into a viral social media phenomenon, driven largely by the addictive, repeated lyric at the beat drop:

"I know he dyin' / 6-7 (oh my God) / I just bipped right on the highway (bip, bip)"

Why "6-7"? The Viral Mystery

The numeric refrain "6-7" rapidly evolved from a lyric into online slang. Its ambiguity allowed it to be applied to almost anything, sparking a wave of memes.

The LaMelo Ball Connection

Following its official release, the track saw a massive surge in popularity thanks to edits featuring NBA star LaMelo Ball. Why him? Simple: he stands exactly 6'7" tall. The community latched onto this coincidence, flooding social media with basketball highlight reels synced to the "6-7" drop.

"Mr. 67"

The meme also found its way into high school sports. Kansas commit and Overtime Elite basketball player Taylen Kinney went viral after rating a Starbucks drink "six-seven". The clip resonated so strongly with the trending audio that Kinney earned the nickname "Mr 67".

What Does It Actually Mean?

Fans and linguists have been debating the true meaning of Skrilla's "6-7" for months. Here are the leading theories:

• The Street Theory: A reference to 67th Street in Skrilla's hometown of Philadelphia (or possibly Chicago).
• The Police Code Theory: Linguist Taylor Jones suggests it might refer to "10-67", the police radio code for a "person calling for help" or, in some contexts, a death notification. This aligns with the song's darker themes of gun violence.
• The Skrilla Answer: The rapper himself remains elusive. He has stated, "I never put an actual meaning on it and I still would not want to."

Regardless of the original intent, the term became so pervasive that Dictionary.com named "67" its Word of the Year for 2025.

Pop Culture Impact

The song's reach extends far beyond TikTok. Skrilla confirmed in an interview that "Doot Doot (6 7)" will be featured in the highly anticipated video game Grand Theft Auto VI, where he is also set to appear as himself.
