Published September 24, 2026

In January 2003, Three 6 Mafia dropped 'Ridin' Spinners,' a Southern rap track about luxury free-spinning rims. Online, the phrase turned in April 2004 when a YTMND user paired the chorus with looped explicit porn footage, seeding one of the site's earliest and most-cloned NSFW formats.

Overview

The YTMND version of Ridin' Spinners loops a short clockwise clip from an explicit adult film underneath the Three 6 Mafia hook, with the original page reportedly captioned 'WE RIDIN SPINNAS ALSO COCKS'4. The joke lands because the visual keeps rotating while the song brags about rims that keep spinning after the car stops.

The template was cheap to copy. Dozens of derivative YTMND pages swapped in cartoon and pop-culture characters, from Peewee's Playhouse and Homer Simpson to Nickelodeon cartoons, Peter Griffin, Darth Vader, Half-Life's G-Man, and a spinning Tetris block3. Early YTMND regulars treated the original as the marker for when user submissions had gone fully into shock territory.

Three 6 Mafia released 'Ridin' Spinners' in January 2003 as the third single from their album Da Unbreakables1. On April 24, 2004, a YTMND user going by Peccavi paired the chorus with a looped clip from a transsexual pornography scene, uploading what became one of the earliest widely-shared user submissions on the site4.

How It Spread

Ridin' Spinnaz clones spread through YTMND across 2004 and 20053. Views on the derivatives ranged from tens of thousands into six figures, with the Peewee edit and 'Epic Ridin Spinnaz Manoeuvre' both clearing 100,000 hits and Nickelodeon, Homer, and Tetris versions drawing tens of thousands apiece.

The original page eventually passed 485,000 views4. In March 2005, the same porn still was recycled as the background for the shock site Meatspin.com, though its makers swapped the Three 6 Mafia audio for Dead or Alive's 'You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)'2.

How to Use This Meme

Making a Ridin' Spinners YTMND typically meant taking a short clip with any clockwise-spinning subject, looping it under the Three 6 Mafia chorus, and slapping on an all-caps caption ending with an 'ALSO X' tag pointing at whatever was in the background.
