"Ridin' Spinners" is a song by American hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia, featuring Lil' Flip.[3][4][5] It was the only single released in support of their 2003 album, Da Unbreakables.[6] Produced by DJ Paul and Juicy J, it contains a sample of "Eazy-Duz-It" (1988) by Eazy-E.[3]

The single was a minor summer radio hit on the subject of then-popular spinning rims.[7][8][9] It was also nominated in the "Single of the year — collaboration" category for The Source's 2004 Hip-Hop Music Awards,[10] ultimately losing to "Damn!" by YoungBloodZ.[11]

Music video

"Ridin' Spinners" received a music video following its release.[12] In Juicy J's 2023 memoir, Chronicles of the Juice Man, he claimed that group member Lord Infamous overdosed on drugs during the video shoot.[13]

Critical reception

Winfred Cross, writing for The Charlotte Post, called the single "perfect summer fluff" and "the kind of thing that could be a huge hit if given the right exposure".[14] Steve Juon of RapReviews described "Ridin' Spinners" as a "bouncy and infectious" inclusion on an album otherwise "filled with futile nonsense".[3]
