Masters of Illusion is the self-titled debut album by American hip hop group Masters of Illusion (producer Kutmasta Kurt and rappers Kool Keith & Motion Man), released in 2000 (see 2000 in music). The album features no guest emcees, but does feature DJ cuts/scratches by DJ Revolution, DJ Babu and DJ Rhettmatic.

Both Kool Keith and Motion Man wrote the lyrics for all songs on the album, except on:

  • "Magnum Be I" and "Call the National Guard" - Written by Motion Man.
  • "U Want Freestyle?" and "Back up Kid" - Written by Kool Keith.

Some CD releases also come with a free instrumental version of the album, as is typical with Kool Keith releases (Dr. Octagonecologyst, First Come, First Served, etc.)
