The "G6" in the song "Booty Bounce", which was sampled in "Like a G6", came about when the songs' producers, the Cataracs, were looking for a rhyme for the line "Sippin' sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6", a reference to the 2000 song "Sippin' on Some Syrup" by rap group Three 6 Mafia.[2] They settled on "G6", meant to be a hyperbolic reference to the private airplane model Gulfstream IV, referred to as a "G4". The G4 had been name-checked in songs such as Drake's 2009 "Forever". A G6, they decided, was "flyer than a G4", according to Far East Movement member Kev Nish.[3] The song has been incorrectly speculated to be about other things, including the Pontiac G6[4][5] and the Suunto G6 watch. There is also a Gulfstream model, the Gulfstream G650, although the song's writers were not aware of this at the time.[2]

As in "fly like a G6"?

It's a very expensive luxury business jet.

As much as the song frustrates you, because it is TERRIBLE, know that it spawned this and be pleased:

In the Rap/Hip Hop community, you are ranked on your ability and street cred. Known as your "Gangsta"" or G level. G6 is pretty much god tier, achieved by very few hip hop artists. In fact, there are only 2 G6's out there. Biz Markie and Jay-Z. Other artists desperately want to attain this level, wishing they were "fly like a G6."

Not too long ago, a group of artists broke onto the scene with a "hack" device of sorts to illegitimately raise their G levels. The device was known as a G-Unit. This group even sent out thinly veiled messages in their songs to let other artists know that, for a fee, they could also have their levels raised as well. The message usually went something like "G-G-G-G U Nit". Famed hit men known as Codenames "Biggie" and "2-Pac" were dispatched by the council of 2 to send a message to this group's face man, Fiddy Cent.
With the skilled precision of elite hit men, they shot Fiddy 9 times without killing him. The message was sent, and the two men retreated back to the shadows until they are needed again.

Why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel!

Nah, they might be a bit ugly, but they had a pretty decent motor in them, and they rode and handled pretty well for an American car.

Not a patch on the G8 of course, which was just a Holden Commodore with a really ugly bonnet and grill, and different badges.

Was there ever a Mac 'G6'? I always forget how far along the Mac G-series went.

Nope, only officially went up to G5. If I remember correctly one of the reasons Apple jumped to Intel was that IBM had hit a bottleneck with them in terms of maintaining a decent temperature. That's why Mac laptops only went up to the G4 series, iMacs and PowerMacs had G5's.
