"My 64" is the second single from Mike Jones' album The American Dream. It features rappers Bun B and Snoop Dogg. It samples "Boyz-n-the-Hood" by Eazy-E. The radio version doesn't feature Snoop's outro and the last chorus that follows thus the airplay single is 3:55 long.
The video for "My 64" was shot on April 19, 2007 and was directed by John "Dr. Teeth" Tucker. It features the artists driving through Los Angeles. One of the cars used is the same as the one Snoop made his entrance to the Video Music Awards of 2005 in.
"64'"refers to a 1964 Chevrolet Impala, which is pictured on the single cover. The car has long been a favorite of lowrider customizers.
NFL quarterback Vince Young appears in the video, in various scenes riding in the passengers seat of the Impala. Also, where Eazy-E is sampled, his son Lil Eazy-E lip-synches the words to his father's verse.
Alex Thomas, Lil' Eazy-E, Lil Rob, Chino XL, and the bulk of the Ice Age Entertainment roster make cameo appearances in the video. Lil' Eazy-E Lip-Synches the hook in the video.
