That same year he teamed up with Detroit natives TnT and Mastamind and formed the group Natas, whose controversial debut Life After Death has been blamed for the suicide of a Tennessee youth. After another EP released in 1992 entitled Hellter Skkkelter dropped, Esham's most recognized and most controversial album 1993's KKKill the Fetus hit stores. The cover of this album depicted an unborn fetus and the title track was a song explaining why unfit, drug addicted mothers should chose abortion over birth. Esham followed up with Natas' Blaz4me and another solo Closed Casket. This was all a prelude to another controversial release, Doubelievengod. Tracks such as "Pop Pop", "Sunday School", and "Heaven" set an unprecedented mark for evilness in rap music. Esham later released his final album on RLP, Dead Flowerz. This was a transitional period into Esham's new Gothom label. Bruce Wayne/Gothom City introduced the world to the new age Esham. After this release the head nodding, trunk rattling Multikillionaire was released.
After a 2-year break, E hit the scene with the colorful Mail Dominance CD. This CD had everything from slow jams, retrospectives on lost ones, wickedness, to 50's samples. The next release is what many feel was the critically acclaimed WWW.com. In 2001, Esham released what would become his smoothest album, Tongues. Followed by Natas 6th release Godlike. Esham resume of albums includes 10 full albums, 4 EPs, 3 greatest hits compilations, and 6 releases with Natas. Not to mention working with and producing for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Ghetto E, Kool Keith, Insane Clown Posse, and the Dayton Family. From 1989 to 2005, Esham has given fans his heavy doses of Reel Life, Heavy Mental music. Esham truly revolutionized Detroit's rap sound and is a local legend.
Eminem has listed Esham as an influence, as he mentions on his debut album, The Slim Shady LP. Esham's next album, A1 Yola, was released April 19th, 2005 by Psychopathic Records. Included with the album was also a DVD with videos to every song, making Esham the first artist to make a music video for every song on an album. Towards the end of 2005 Esham could no longer be a part of Psychopathic Records. His last concert under the label was at the 5th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos. He contributed to the Soopa Villainz project and later left. The split was on bad terms according to acidrap.com. The reason, also according to acidrap.com, was that Psychopathic Records did not allow him to use the name The Unholy,The Black Devil or the group NATAS. Athough bitterness was expressed by both parties directly after the split, Esham and Psychopathic have since publicly apoligized to one another, and stated that any past grievances are water under the bridge.
On June 6, 2006 (6/6/06) Esham released the Judgement Day box set, Rap's first $100 box set, available only through the Natas website. This set includes Judgement Day Vol.1 and 2, the previously unreleased Judgement Day Vol.3 and 4, a new 6 track Esham EP, and a DVD featuring concert footage from '04. Only 1,000 have been produced.
Kkkill the Fetus
Esham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why did you wake up in the life, in this world we livin
Love ain't worth a dime, so then you nothin to give him
The baby has no father, he ran out on the mother
So raise him as cannibal to be like Jeffrey Dahmer
You life is really worthless, you live and then you die
You go to die, and bodies rot and then your wonder why
And then you live in doubt, til you live or live without
Your head is steady spinnin, the Devil's steady grinnin
While you was steady sinnin from the very first beginnin
Is it a boy or a girl, I think I should referral
You should terminate it, because it's a lousy world
You life on the line, you're out ya fuckin mind
You gotta to your tape, 'cause you're runnin outta time
It's just another embryo, attached to an umbilical
You can let that baby grow, but I'd kill it though, kill the fetus
[many samples]
[Esham]
The bodies premature, the mother is a whore
Contemplatin suicide so what you waitin for
I think I heard a splinter, but that's a normal state
Gem a hang over ya asshole until your water brake
You better use some caution, yea they used up an abortion
Death the only way to solve a suicide solution
So here's my contribution, my suicide solution
You play the game of death, but then you can't win for losin
You want it and you got this, on shit you killed the fetus
Live is just a waste, so then you outta just delete this
Problem to society, society's a problem
My suicide solution is a 38 revolver
I'm your problem solver, your life is full of horror
Some are born to die and some are die tomorrow
Vagina tissue's dorm, your pussy's kinda worn
I flipped out on a warn, if you haven't none to born
Your inner one perspective, there is one conceseptent
Your M.P.D. is positive, so you can let that baby live
It's just another embryo, attached to an umbilical
You can let that baby grow, but I'd kill it though, kill the fetus
[more samples]
[Esham]
The planet's really fucked, so know ya kinda stuck
You should of thought about it, before you bust a nut
It is a lousy world, I live a lousy life
I think I outta stab ya, wit the sunkin, wit the knife
Or push you down a flight of steps, until you fall and break ya neck
Did a little damage, can you manage on this carriage
Life is not a choice, death is the alternative
Or shit you let it grow up in this fucked up world that we live in
These are the consequences, add one more to the State Census
Born to die in poverty, so tell me what's the census
It's just another embryo, attached to an umbilical
You can let that baby grow, but I'd kill it though, kill the fetus
[more samples]
The lyrics of Esham's song "Kkkill the Fetus" are controversial and provocative. The rapper explores the topic of abortion and presents it as an acceptable solution to the problems of life. In the song, Esham portrays life as a meaningless existence where love is worthless, and it is not worth bringing a new life into this world unless you want to raise the baby as a cannibal like Jeffrey Dahmer. Esham argues that there is no point in having a child when the mother is a whore and the father is absent. The rapper claims that the world is a lousy place, and you cannot afford to feed another mouth or raise a child in conditions of poverty.
Esham presents the idea that suicide is a solution to the problems of life and that killing a fetus is similar to committing suicide. He suggests that death is the only way to solve a suicide solution, and he offers his "contribution" with his "suicide solution" - a 38 revolver. The rapper believes that life is a waste and a problem to society, and it is better to delete it.
The song's provocative lyrics caused controversy and backlash, with some people claiming that Esham promoted violence and nihilism. However, others argue that the song is an artistic expression of the problems and dilemmas of life and that it raises important questions about the value of life and the morality of abortion.
