"Dope Boys" is the second single from The Game's third studio album, LAX. The song features Travis Barker playing the drums. The song samples "Eleanor Rigby" By The Beatles. The song was slated to appear in the 2008 driving game Midnight Club: Los Angeles but was omitted from the game for unknown reasons.[1]
The official video was directed and edited by Matt Alonzo[2] and features Travis Barker, Omar Cruz, Black Wall Street, Mr. Capone-E and BYI members. The video is interspersed with shots of The Game standing on a Los Angeles rooftop with the skyline behind him.[3] In other shots he is seen to be wearing Beats by Dr. Dre headphones.
