Hip Hop History is a collaboration album by Master P and his son Romeo Miller, performing as the Miller Boyz. It includes guest performances by Tank, Lil Boosie, Playa, Bblak, Mizz Kitty, Young V and Marques Houston. The album has sold approximately 70,000 units.

Conception and promotion

In June 2007, Master P and Romeo announced plans to create a joint album without profanity while still containing "street music" themes.[1]

Initially, the idea of this album was met with derision, with 50 Cent criticizing Master P as irrelevant. However, in September 2007, Master P was a surprise guest on an episode of the BET music show 106 & Park that had 50 Cent as guest host. The two rappers discussed Hip Hop History cordially.[2]
