"Oh man where does one start trying to sum up Majik Most? Maybe his personal website complete with links to XXX rated websites? Or his over the top claims such as slapping Suge Knight? Or maybe its the wacky skits about his streets being so being so real that you're liable to get attacked by russians armed with machine guns on skis or diseased outbreak monkeys? That's getting closer but its probably his bio that best summarizes his personality when at the tender age of 2 "made a karaoke machine explode" and " at the age of 5 one of his metaphors made and elderly man flip out of a wheelchair'. "



While it almost sounds ridiculous to describe Majik Most to anyone who's never heard of him, he's one of the more entertaining rappers around connected to some extra talented friends, such as the always amazing Louis Logic, battle vet Apathy or the incredibly underrated Celph Titled whom all make guest appearances.



As the album title implies, the entire album is done tongue and cheek, and probably at that, tongue and cheek as in tongue and that other cheek. Its completely offensive and completely entertaining. As if that wasn't enough, there's a DVD complete with Majik Most and Dutchmassive talking crap to tourists and Majik kicking a free style while a girl strips naked in the background. One has to wonder what this cat would do if he had production money. Molesting Hip Hop is a Mixtape... so its not meant to be taken as an official album, which generally puts an album to second rate standards (a trend that is starting to wear hip hop heads out listening to C material or horrid remixes). While there's a little beat jacking and short songs lasting a verse or two, it feels more like an album except with an over abundance of skits. If I were to hold this to mixtapes standards, this quite possibly is the greatest mixtape ever created hands down. If it were a stand alone album I'd be a little more critical and probably give it a four star rating. Its a toss up but given the fact I keep coming back to this album and re-listening as it keeps growing on me even that's arguable.



There's also a strange air of intelligence as Majik Most parodies a bit of the all already ridiculous rap life, that's been ripe for a lot of bland stand up bits and bad skits. Instead of succumbing to the usual tired jokes, Majik Most fully embraces rap/hip hop (as he's obviously a fan) and uses humor to subtly criticize some negatives by just pushing the envelope too far. Other clever moments include the should-be-famous JJ Brown's sampling of the Austin Power's soundtrack (without being obvious) on the album's most listenable joint, Chicks Don't Mind, with an attitude much in line of Mr Powers himself (read again, no direct references to Austin Powers) and skits that are self parody of his own skits, that often include bloopers of those who are supposed to be making the skits. It becomes a strange juxtaposition of then-and-now when comical rap skits that used to make fun of rap skits have become so cliched that it takes a voice actor scratching her head "What am I supposed to say?" when trying to perform parody of a comical rap skit making fun of a comical skit. Its convoluted, genius and funny. Just buy the damn album already."

Yo, yeeeaaa it ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-majik most!

"Most of the beats where made by Celph Titled of the Demigodz.. Celph and Majik are very close, but there were plenty of other producers on there too.



And as for me, well I love Majik. He goes to HCC with my boy Good Feezie and the man is a lyrical genius. Glad to see some support from across the whole US..



And yea, I posted up the customer graphic.. (On mama's account though)"

"this dude is nutts on the mic, can't say I knew much about him prior to this album. Had heard him on 1 or 2 songs, and knew he was down with Celph Titled. This album is really solid. It's way over the top, and really fun. A lot of people might find it tasteless and disrespectful, but the content is so obviously aggerated one should be able to laugh at it. Skits are almost always a low point for me, but this album has some outstanding skits. The one where he's dreaming the Devil was talking to him and telling him "you're album's not coming out!" kills me. It's so rediclious and stupid! Lyrically Majik is much like his homie Celph Titled, and always saying something unexpected. The talk of Russian Mafia dudes on ski's shooting at them is beyond explination. Him & Celph get busy togeather over the same beat Dre & Ren flipped over almost 20 years ago. There's not any real touching moments, no songs about his mom, love or whatever. This is just a really retarded record, and it works."
