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.

Natas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody help me, somebody help me, somebody help me!
[Chorus: Psychopathic Screams]
[Esham]
No one hears my screams
I told you me deepest fears
It seems, I'm still trapped inside a paradox
Weather you care or not
My inferred plays connect the dots
The evil nigga no nigga could eva figure the style
Comist the body count and the bodies pile
A hundred miles
And me styles never get worn
The wicket shit will never die
No need to mourn
The suckas stay off my dick I'm never friendly
To go to church fuck Jesus cause it just aint in me in me
Lord have mercy, damn its the devils day
Can i say, wicket niggas come out and play, and hey
I do it for the suicidalness
And aint no otha nigga suicidal like this, so scream
[Chorus]
[Esham]
Screamin at the top of my lungs
Redrum, redrum, murder 1 uh, nigga with the gun uh, acti-tion
Rude boy never hesitate to bust
And fuck any motha fucka who aint down with us
The wicket nigga the nigga with wicket commin with the wicket ness
And niggas still on my dick for this
A straight suicidal, homicidal, brotha
Neva like anotha, take a pillow and smuggle yo motha
Run for cover, hide for shelter
Nigga i felt cha, and oh yeah helta skelta, the fuck the funk
I'm never down
Me and my nigs don't fuck around, I'm stickily underground
I take yo momma ya daddy and everything you love
And tell yo ass their aint no heaven up above and just scream
[Chorus]
[Esham]
My shits so inconspicuous
Its so ridiculous
Niggas lick my style like a dick
But I'm a nut up, cut up, what up, cut they dick off
And sew they butt up, cause they some pussies
Bitch get back off my ball sack
Cut it loose, my shits triple fact like a goose
And, I know the one to make the shit that make you vomit
I live mo life then on tupacs stomach
Check the maggot brain theory
Niggas cant get near me to hear me, I'm bustin off like a sawed off
Shotgun, love, I got none
Niggas betta run when I cock one, the hot one
I still swallow bullets spittin em in yo face
Cause I love the way gun powder taste and just scream
[Chorus]
In the song "Scream" by Natas, Esham is expressing his frustration and feeling of being trapped inside a paradox. He feels like he's not being heard even though he has shared his deepest fears. Esham believes that his inferred plays connect the dots and the evil in his style is incomprehensible by anyone. He is a wicket person whose style will never get old and the suckers better stay off him. Esham is a suicidal and homicidal brother unlike others, and he does it for the suicidalness. He doesn't believe in Jesus and takes everything he loves, telling them there's no heaven above. He wants everyone to scream with him.
Esham's lyrics portray his anger and dissatisfaction with the world around him. He feels like he's different from everyone else and people just don't understand him. His lyrics are dark and evoke a sense of hopelessness, which is why he wants everyone to scream with him. He's angry at the world, and he wants people to join him in his anger.
