"My Hood" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Young Jeezy, released December 11, 2005 as the fourth single from his debut studio album (2005). The song, produced by Grand Hustle in-house producer Cordale "Lil' C" Quinn, contains an interpolation of "Rubber Band Man" as performed by T.I.
The music video, directed by Hype Williams, is in black and white, with a few pockets of color. "My Hood" was Derek Jeter's walk-out music for his at bats during the 2006 Major League baseball season.
Sean Fennessey of Pitchfork described "My Hood" as "blissful, thanks to a chintzy Casio beat and some sort of My Hood=Our Hood claptrap" despite considering it "cheap, easy, and out of character for the steadily mean-mugged Jeezy".[1] Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone called it "the album's most head-noddable track", praising Young Jeezy's "hypnotically smooth rhymes".[2] In a more negative review, Steve Juon of RapReviews wrote that the song "sounds like a really bad version of T.I.'s "Rubber Band Man"."[3]
