there are some theories, behind the number, mostly that the kids who are chanting it in the original video, there was a tall basketball player before the camera panned to them and it might hint at a connection at the height of the player (that being 6ft 7ins)

In Philadelphia,
Which is the town the rapper Skrilla is from,
The police department uses many of the same "10-codes" in their radio communications as many other law enforcement agencies.

A 10-67 is used to signal that a dead body has been found or that a probable fatality is being investigated on scene.

The kids who are parroting it don't know what Skrilla meant when he was saying 67...

But what he was implying with that lyric is that the police just found a body and that he may be responsible for it.

Akin to boasting: "hear that radio call just now on the police scanner? I'm the one who merc'd that sucka. Remember that, and don't fuck with me."

It's from this song apparently. It's at around 1:45 if the psychic damage gets to be too much

The moment you're talking about was one of the incidents that helped memify it though
