Detroit Acid Rap Trio Natas: Esham, TNT and Mastamind defined a dark style of hardcore rap characterized by decadent motifs and heavy metal-like aggression.

Taking considerable influence from Niggaz4life-era NWA, the Detroit, MI, trio came hard on their 1992 debut album, Life After Death, to the point where their anger-exuding music alienated all but a small cult audience fascinated with their anarchic disposition and their self-termed style of "Acid Rap." On this album they rapped about the most disturbing and shocking themes imaginable, capturing the darkest corners of their burnt-out city's most horrible ghettos with their lyrics in an attempt to be as hardcore as possible. To further the impact of these lyrics, Esham self-produced the album, laying down gritty beats and making effective use of rock samples to give the album a harsher tone.

Successive albums found the trio improving their rapping and their production, as they slowly matured, moving progressively away from mere exploitation. By the end of the '90s, their music had considerably evolved in terms of not only lyrical content and delivery but also in terms of production, resulting in an innovative realization of their original intent that finally blossomed on WWW.Com (Wicket World Wide).

Before forming NATAS, group leader Esham had already established himself as a solo artist, debuting at the end of the '80s with Boomin' Words From Hell, followed by a few EPs. At this time, Esham was a student at Osborne High School in Detroit, where he eventually crossed paths with Mastamind in the tenth grade. After listening to a three-song demo tape given to him by Mastamind, Esham decided to form a group with the promising rapper and TNT, a longtime friend. The three got together and decided to call themselves NATAS as a symbol of their anarchic, evil disposition at the time, being mere teenagers. In 1992, Esham released NATAS' debut album, Life After Death, on his REEL Life Productions label. Two years later he released a similar follow-up album, Blaz4me, an album nearly as twisted and disturbing as its predecessor. Then came the dark Doubelievengod album in 1995, which found the trio moving forward artistically as well as ideologically. When NATAS released Multikillionaire: The Devil's Contract in 1997, it became clear that the group had reached a turning point. Along with Esham's accompanying Bruce Wayne: Gotham City 1987 album from the same year, Multikillionaire broadened Natas' scope, aiming for conceptualism while abandoning the exploitative elements of previous works. NATAS resurfaced in 1999 with WWW.Com (Wicket World Wide), claiming that their name was an acronym for "Nation Ahead of Time And Space" rather than Satan spelled backwards in hopes of changing their image. The album improved upon Mulitkillionaire's flaws and represented a more mature representation of the group's ambitions. Featuring live instruments where Esham used to place samples, the album's production was considerably innovative for its time, marrying a rock attitude with a rap aesthetic and garnering considerable acclaim from the underground. Following this release, both Esham and Mastamind took time off to work on solo albums in the wake of the album's success and the Detroit rap scene's sudden evolution to a substantial hotspot for up-and-coming talent.

Full Of Hate
Natas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hahahahah...
It's the end of the world,
As you know it.
So I'm a flow it.

Four Paddywogs can't hold me down,
Locked up for my safety now,
In my head I hear crazy sounds,

Five people dead, nobody found.
They cannot stop me, started when I was five years old,
I was in my room all alone, I used to be so cold,
I would have conversations,
Visions of devastations,
One day I'll rule the nation,
They'll call me an abomination.
They did me wrong, concidered me an outcast,
Was never first, but I'll have the last laugh,
I dreamed of blood baths while I slept in math class,
Woke up and robbed my teachers without a ski mask.

Before I hate...
Ya hearts filled with hatred.

I did everything you asked me,
I'm always speakin in blasphemy,
The demons comin after me,
So bless me get this cash from me.
Took the learjet flight to Moscow,
Jumped out the plane then I smile,
Police checkin my files cause they know I'm hostile,
Take the money belt right off ya waist and shoot you in ya funny face,
Your brains scattered all over the place, Cause I am from the master race,
I'm Hitler with this mircophone, put suicidal thoughts inside ya dome,
My DNA they tried to clone cause I rock em' dead and minds get blown,
I'm psycho, michael, my is with the rifle,
Chemical dependencies it was all written down in the prophecies,
B-L-A-C-K, Hitler's scant, fresh out the concentration camps,
Dead bodies stank the place, cause I had ta paint ya face,
The Wrath of God this ain't the case, don't believe me, then go ask Mace,
Goin through trials and tribulations havin conversations with Satan,
Black Hitler, I'm coming for your head decapitation,
And you're just an abomination, raised up in this wicked nation,
Fall star prophet feel the wrath of God, you cannot stop it,
So just accept it even though you just a skeptic,
He that is not with me is against me and you can't help it,
Revelations and my final note on this salvation,
Even though ya heart is achin, it's also Full of Hatred!

Ya hearts Filled with Hated!

I hate my muthafuckin gums cause they black,
I hate the nighttime cause it's black,
I hate that muthafucka Wesley Snipes, cause he's black,

Yea, black monday, black tuesday, every muthafuckin day,
Every night! I'm havin muthafuckin nightmarre-...
