"Steady Mobbin" (also titled "We Be Steady Mobbin") is a song by American hip hop record label Young Money Entertainment and the third single from their debut compilation album We Are Young Money (2009). It is performed by Lil Wayne and features American rapper Gucci Mane. The song originally also featured American rapper 2 Chainz but he was removed for unknown reasons.[1][2]

Critical reception

Steve Kerry of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review, writing "Lil Wayne's chances in this game are improving with each new release, and We Be Steady Mobbin is no exception - quite the opposite, in fact. It's a nice addition to the impressive catalogue Lil Wayne has been building over the years."[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by DJ Scoob Doo and premiered on July 4, 2010 on MTV. The rappers shot their scenes for the clip separately;[4] Lil Wayne filmed his part right before he went to the Rikers Island prison to start his year-long sentence for attempted gun possession. In the video, he gives a tour of his Miami home, where he shows his art collection, smokes blunts and uses one of his Grammy statues as an ashtray.[5] Gucci Mane filmed his scene after he was released from prison a week after Wayne turned himself in.[4][5]
