Finding their inspiration from the diverse city blocks and night club scene of Southern California, FM has built a strong internet fan base and a new lifestyle brand for the next generation of youth around the world. “The Far East Movement is the name for our music, lifestyle, and our party. For the diverse music fan that hits up 3 clubs in 1 night, tuned to the racing scene and fashion, and back on the computer religiously checking blogs and sites for anything related to that.”- FM
FM has embarked on 2 World Tours (including the USA, South America, Canada, Europe and Asia) and recently featured on the 35 city Party Rock Tour with LMFAO, signed distribution deals in Japan and Korea (Avex Network and JF Productions respectively), garnered multiple features on MTV World, and also featured music on worldwide media such as FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance”, MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew”, ABC Family’s Lincoln Heights, CBS Primetime shows “CSI: Miami” and “CSI: NY”, multiple placements on HBO’s “Entourage”, “Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift” and “Finishing the Game” (a featured film at Sundance 2007). FM was also the first Asian act to perform at the Sundance Film Festival’s prestigious Music Café Gala hosted by ASCAP, and was also recently a featured act at the Cannes Film Festival in France. As producers, FM worked with Jin the Emcee to create ABC JIN, an award-winning, platinum album that broke records for first week sales in Hong Kong.
In the world of marketing, the Far*East Movement has been sought out by major companies to endorse their products.

The original members of Far East Movement, Kevin Nishimura (Kev Nish), James Roh (Prohgress), and Jae Choung (J-Splif), grew up in Koreatown, Los Angeles, California.

The trio promoted their music online and began performing at local clubs and events in Los Angeles; soon, they began their musical career with the name "Emcee's Anonymous" by 2001.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we drink, we do it right gettin' slizzard
Sippin' sizzurp in my ride (in my ride) like three six
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G 6
Like a G 6, like a G 6
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G 6
Like a G 6, like a G 6
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G 6
Gimme that Moet (et)

Ladies love my style, at my table gettin' wild
Get them bottles poppin', we get that drip and that drop
Now now, give me two more bottles cause you know it don't stop

These sober girls around me, they be actin' like they drunk
They be actin' like they drunk, actin'-actin' like they drunk
When sober girls around me they be actin'-actin' like they drunk
Poppin' bottles in the ice, like a blizzard
When we drink, we do it right gettin' slizzard
Sippin' sizzurp in my ride (in my ride) like three six
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G 6
Like a G 6, like a G 6
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G 6

Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G 6
Sippin' on, sippin' on sizz, I'm a ma, make it fizz
Girl i keep it gangsta, poppin' bottles at the crib

Take that bottle to the head, and let me see you fly

The song is all about partying and living it up through the lyrics "Poppin' bottles in the ice, like a blizzard, When we drink, we do it right gettin' slizzard". The term "G6" stems from a Gulfstream G650 airplane, which is known for its luxury and high-class status, juxtaposing the lyrics about sipping sizzurp and acting wild. The song talks about being so fly that it feels like flying in a G6, as everyone around them is drinking and having a good time.
Additionally, Nicki Minaj's verse in the song centers around female empowerment and her unique style, which the ladies at her table love. The song also highlights drinking culture and how it transforms people, making them feel bold and carefree.
The chorus talks about feeling "so fly like a G6," which is a metaphor for feeling on top of the world and superior to others. The beat of the song is another highlight, with a catchy 808 bump that makes you want to dance.
