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]
