Trust the hiphop world to come up with absolutely cool phrases! The popularity of Far East Movement's 'Like A G6' got everyone thinking, what exactly were these guys talking about? Turns out G6 refers to the Gulfstream G650 8-passenger jet, also known as a G6 in rap circles. It has trumped the luxury vehicle to become hip hop's new ultimate status symbol. G6 is used as a metaphor for feeling fly, urban slang for exceptionally good.
"A G6 is not a Gatorade flavor. It's not a car, convertible, four-door. It's not a watch," group member Kev Nish told MTV News. "But Drake, Drake talks about having G4 pilots on deck, so we said, 'What's flyer than a G4?' Of course, it would be a G6."
Nish also explained to the Associated Press: "It means we wanted y'all to experience a night with us. We hit the clubs, three clubs in one night. We feel fly. It's just about 'feeling fly,' feeling yourself. Living that night like it's your last."
