Influences:Prince, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, MC5, Iggy PopInfluenced:Insane Clown Posse, EminemEsham (born Rashaam Smith in 1974) is an American rapper known for his Horrorcore performance style. The '90s saw him at his most theatrical, as he would often begin his performances by emerging from a coffin before he started rapping, which connected his performances to the Shock Rock theatricality of artists like Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Alice Cooper.Esham self-released his debut album Boomin' Words from Hell when he was 16, and later went on to form the independent label Reel Life Productions, and the Horrorcore group Natas. His early albums were the subject of much rumor and controversy, which Esham reveled in, believing there was No Such Thing as Bad Publicity, as local listeners were literally scared of the albums. Albums like Judgement Day and KKKill the Fetus led to Esham being perceived as a Devil Worshipper; the latter featured paintings of fetuses on its artwork and lyrics which promoted abortion. Following the release of the Natas album Life After Death, Esham, Natas and Reel Life Productions were the subject of much controversy when a 17-year-old fan killed himself while smoking cannabis and playing Russian roulette while listening to the album.Because his career was Overshadowed by Controversy, Esham decided to no longer rap about Satan and abandon his use of the stage name "The Unholy", releasing Closed Casket as his final "Satanic Album" in 1994. Another Detroit rapper later usurped Esham's controversy magnet status. | |
