The American Dream is the name of an EP and DVD movie by Mike Jones. It was released through Ice Age Entertainment, Asylum Records and Warner Bros. Records on November 20, 2007. It was originally supposed to be released as an album but was down graded to an EP due to low confidence from the label. The EP includes two songs, "Still Tippin'" and "Back Then", from Mike Jones' last album Who Is Mike Jones?.
