Lil’ Kim, Magic Stick | Midnight Heat

In the 99^th edition of Midnight Heat (2025), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Magic Stick” by Lil’ Kim featuring 50 Cent.

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot 🥵 at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo-laden, and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 99^th edition of Midnight Heat (2025), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Magic Stick” by Lil’ Kim featuring 50 Cent.

Oh, shyt 👀! Grammy-winning rapper Lil’ Kim (Kimberly Jones, b. 1974) conjured up some sexually driven magic on her hit single, “Magic Stick”. Kim doesn’t get down and dirty by herself, however. She’s assisted by fellow Grammy winner, 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson, b. 1975).  It’s 50 Cent who spits the ultra-memorable line, excerpted above. “Magic Stick” is the 12^th track from Lil’ Kim’s 2003 platinum-certified album, La Bella Mafia. Hella successful, it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Unsurprisingly, the record was nominated for a Grammy at the 46^th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Fantom Of The Beat and Sha Money XL produced the track, which samples the epic Joe Simon (1936 – 2021) song, “It Be’s That Way Sometimes”.

While the good bones that construct “Magic Stick” are fascinating, that’s not what you came for. You came for the S meets E, and then they X! Welp, the good news is that Lil’ Kim and 50 Cent keep it nasty on this aughts gem.  It all begins with Fiddy, who touts his D in a chorus for the ages. Beyond that, in the first verse, he informs her, “I’m a freak to the core /… My tongue touch ya girl, ya toes bound to curl / This exclusive stick I don’t share with the world.” Additional striking moments from the first include, “I’ll rock the boat, I’ll work the middle,” and, “I pop a lot of shit cause I can back it up / My left stroke’s the death stroke.” Lil’ Kim makes her first appearance in the second chorus, where she asserts, “I got the magic clit / If know if I get licked once, I can get licked twice.” Gah-day-um! Don’t get shyt twisted, though. Per the second verse, “Lil’ Kim not a whore / But I sex a nigga so good, he gotta tell his boys.” Woo! Kim adds the likes of “‘Cause my head game have you head over heels / Give a nigga the chills, have him pay my bills,” and “Couple of humps, give a nigga goosebumps.” 👀 In the third chorus, 50 and Kim join forces, combining stick and clit action, before collaborating in the third verse, involving magic stick and magic box.  Notably, there is also a sexed-up skit between Kim and an inmate to conclude the song. It’s somethin’ else, too!  Ultimately, “Magic Stick” is a trip, sure to get your hormones going something fierce! Two decades later, this sexed-up rap song remains potent.
