New Trend Among Youth: “Six Seven”
It seems like every generation has its catchphrases, jokes, and dances that leave older folks feeling a bit bewildered. Most of these trends are fairly innocent and, frankly, a bit silly. However, one recent trend gaining traction has a more complex background than it appears.
A song titled “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Philadelphia rapper Skrilla became a viral hit earlier this year, leading kids to shout “six seven” seemingly out of nowhere. The phrase exploded within youth basketball circles, partly thanks to NBA star LaMelo Ball’s impressive plays and enthusiastic chants from the sidelines, quickly spreading among younger audiences.
Some speculate that “six seven” refers to 67th Street in Philadelphia. The meaning of the trend isn’t entirely clear; some interpret it as denoting “mediocre,” but many believe it’s just a nonsensical internet slang with a mildly annoying twist.
Rick Burgess, the host of the podcast “Strange Encounters,” believes that parents dismiss this trend too easily, failing to recognize its potential implications. He argues that while the phrase in Skrilla’s song may hint at a local street reference, it carries a darker undertone linked to the artist’s unsettling beliefs.
In a video shared by Rick, Pastor Nathan Bentley from LifePoint Church in San Tan Valley, Arizona, claims that Skrilla is an open follower of the Church of Satan. He notably mentioned that the rapper recently admitted in an interview to practicing animal sacrifices as part of his ritual to achieve success in the entertainment industry.
“He genuinely committed himself to that lifestyle, asserting that his career flourished after taking a blood oath,” Bentley stated.
Indeed, last year during an appearance on the No Jumper podcast, Skrilla discussed his participation in such rituals, acknowledging animal sacrifices as part of his faith.
Bentley also raised eyebrows with the song’s unexpected mix of themes related to drugs, sexuality, and the catchily addictive “Baby Shark.” He questions why a rapper known for his mature image would incorporate a children’s song into his work, suggesting it might be an effort to appeal to younger audiences.
Rick pledged to do more digging into the situation and affirms the validity of Bentley’s warnings.
“It’s disturbing, really. Do you want your kids involved in any pagan rituals or blood sacrifices?” he asks, expressing concern about the trend’s roots in darker practices.
If the answer is no, he advocates for parents to take action against this trend within their homes.
“I have a feeling there’s something malevolent behind this ‘six seven,’ and it seems to count on us dismissing it as a harmless fad,” he reflected. “Ultimately, it’s up to you whether you want to pass this on to your children or grandchildren. But I’m certainly going to delve deeper into ‘Six-Seven’ and do my best to protect my kids from any potential harm.”
