- Detroit rapper Esham was once known for having a cultish following for featuring rock samples and lyrics about Satanism (early on), drug use, paranoia and hardcore sex, similar to the Geto Boys, with a Kool Keith-style delivery. Nowadays, he's more known for his ego and his frequent Take Thats, mostly against his former associates. Esham self-released his debut album Boomin' Words from Hell at the age of 13, and later went on to form the independent label Reel Life Productions, and the acid rap group Natas. His early albums were the subject of much rumor and controversy; local listeners were literally scared of the albums. Albums like Judgement Day and KKKill the Fetus led to Esham being perceived as a Satanist; the latter featured paintings of fetuses on its artwork and lyrics which promoted abortion. After Closed Casket, however, Esham decided to no longer rap about Satan and abandon his use of the stage name "The Unholy". After his brother went to prison for rape, Esham gravitated more towards Gangsta Rap lyrical themes with Dead Flowerz, Bruce Wayne: Gothom City 1987 and Mail Dominance. In 1999, he signed with Psychopathic Records and joined the Horrorcore supergroup Dark Lotus, with plans to issue his next album, Tongues, on the label, but left the label and the group due to a disagreement, and rebranded Reel Life Productions as Gothom Records. Gothom signed Kool Keith, The Dayton Family and former porn star-turned-rapper Heather Hunter. Esham started a fight with Eminem for no reason, and got kicked off of Van's Warped Tour in 2001 after his fans beat him up, which he blamed on Eminem's group, D12. After the collapse of Reel Life Productions, Esham found himself homeless and living in his car, and Insane Clown Posse agreed to help him out by again signing him to Psychopathic; Esham also joined the Gangsta Rap supergroup Psychopathic Rydas. After the solo album A-1 Yola, Esham left Psychopathic to return to RLP. Esham has gravitated back and forth from dissing other rappers for attention and trying to suck up to them, leading to some bad business choices like signing a drug addict "Juggalette" rapper, resulting in him losing the fans that dislike ICP. He's lost even more fans by releasing a series of videos calling ICP's Violent J the devil (Esham called himself "God") and lying about his former business deals with Psychopathic. He later released a video apologizing to Juggalos for his remarks, stating that his perception had been warped by substance abuse, and that he's still a Juggalo and has nothing against ICP or Psychopathic. Violent J himself has stated that he has no idea why Esham has problems with him and Psychopathic.
