Black Hollywood is the third album by hip hop duo Camp Lo, released on July 24, 2007, on Good Hands Records. It was the duo's first album in five years. The album was produced by long-time collaborator Ski, who had produced the majority of the group's first two albums, Uptown Saturday Night and Let's Do It Again. The album features guest appearances from Ski and Jungle Brown, who appeared on the duo's debut. The album's first single was "Black Hollywood".

The album's original title was A Piece of the Action, a reference to the Sidney Poitier-Bill Cosby film A Piece of the Action. The group's previous albums were also named after films starring Poitier and Cosby. "Ganja Lounge" contains a sample from the voiceover at the beginning of the 1995 film Friday.

The Washington Post wrote that the album "reinvigorates the rappers' long-standing penchant for alliteration and blaxploitation."{{cite news |last1=Richards |first1=Cliff |title=A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind |work=The Washington Post |date=24 July 2007 |page=C5}}
