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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One time foe yo muthphuckin mind
It's the Drunken Master in this peice
Representin, for you punk azz niggaz
Bitch I'm back screamin "I don't care"
Throw yo guns in the phuckin air
While you niggaz be sippin Moet-n-Crystal
Got a gloc on kock when I ride the block
Hot bullets leave yo azz in a state of shock
Most playa hated by the playa hataz I know
Nigga phuck yo azz and yo ugly ho
I could give a phuck less what coast your from
Cuz you can play Forest Gump and catch the dump dumps
Bitch, just like the last
muthaphucka, who crossed my path, wit yo punk azz.
When a nigga playa hates me for a bitch,
Keep my name out yo outh wit yo punk azz (punk azz nigga)
When a nigga owe me money, and I see you at the club sippin moe
Gimme my loot wit yo punk azz.
Back up on the block, ho's suck dick
Niggaz gettin high yellin Dice ain't sh!t
**** to ya jaw, screamin phuck the law
Phuck H.I.V. I'm goin in raw
Scurvy, phuckin prostitutes like James Worthy
You got the nerve to serve me, biotch
Ya don't know my style
Scurv azz nigga from 7 mile
Got a pistol in my pocket, and a joint in my mouth
I wanna bitch wit an azz like a ho down south
I wanna get drunk, but I'm low on cash
So I take yo stash, wit yo punk azz.
When you wanna smoke my weed and ain't put 5 in
Back the phuck up wit yo punk azz (punk azz nigga)
When I'm chillin wit a bitch all day and you ain't phuckin
Walk the phuck home wit yo punk azz. (punk azz nigga...come here, come here)
I'm only into two thangs, that's loot and fam
At the crib baggin grams
Tryin to come up on a hundred grand
I got plans to be the black Bugz Boran
Red bones and sun tans
Givin me head inside the tour van
Once my gun jammed and I ran like the wind
Brave niggaz die young
The ones that run rock the gems
Ride a Benz, make loot wit they friends
Rock beat's and Timb's, have sex with only fly fem's
So try to pretend not to see in the clubs
Mad cuz they on the block still flippin dubs
Only show love to those truly gettin cash
So nigga why would you ask, wit yo punk azz.
Yeah, so now you niggaz know, Drunken Master back in this peice representin for all you bitch azz, busta azz niggaz talkin all that sh!t, and all you bitchez that aint phuckin, all ya'll can eat a dick, wit yo punk azz.
In Esham's song "Wit Yo Punk Azz," he expresses his disregard for those who cross him, both in terms of not respecting him and not paying him what they owe. He asserts his dominance by bragging about his bloody pistol and Glock that he carries with him, always loaded and ready for action. He is unapologetic about his lifestyle, even when people try to bring him down with words or actions, showing that he is not one to back down easily. Additionally, he is straightforward about his desires for wealth and fame, wanting to make a name for himself as a rapper and get rich quick.
The lyrics are reflective of the gangsta rap genre, a style that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s that often focuses on violence, drugs, and street life. Esham's lyrics incorporate various themes of the genre, such as braggadocio, violence, and sexual conquest. However, the song also has an element of humor, with lines like "Phuck H.I.V. I'm going in raw" and "I could give a phuck less what coast your from/Cuz you can play Forest Gump and catch the dump dumps."
Overall, "Wit Yo Punk Azz" is a powerful expression of Esham's attitude towards those who disrespect him or his craft. Through his lyrics, he makes it clear that he is a force to be reckoned with and that he will not back down in the face of adversity.
