"And you are totally wrong... without Dr. Dre there would be no eminem... he didnt catch his breaks from esham... "
Yer on fucking crack aren't you? Em dropped upwards of AT LEAST 20 or so tracks before he even left michigan and got Dre's beats behind him. Without Dre eminem wouldnt be as big, I wont argue that point, but slim was releasing songs in the underground detroit rap scene long before dre was involved. Eminem used to be "in the same boat" with Esham and ICP (at least IN DETROIT). They were all artists that had a big following in D-town who were trying to get nationwide recognition. And when I say without Esham there would be no Eminem- It is somewhat of an overstatement- but do you think without E's infuence eminem would be the same artist, almost at all? Ask Tech about where he thinks he might be as a rapper without his musical influences, probably not making as dope music as he is now. Esham is about as OG as it gets when it comes to the rap game, puting out yer first record at 15 years old stepping into a Mustang GT with gold rims of the same year is something that I havent heard any other rapper coming close to. A guy I knew who moved into the suburbs from detroit to slang budz said to me one day "Only 16 year old I knew in my city with a car either stole it or sold crack to buy it". Hate Esham or love him, you cant deny his length and credibility in music.
A few tracks for "Repentance" weren't really "the wicked shit" but it did get him some radio play and a little bigger fanbase outside of juggalos, wich is fine with me. Yola should be what you expect from sham though. That collab with bone was fresh as fuck too. That reminds me, to people who say "who the fuck is esham anyway?" Ask Bone Thugs N Harmony, they'll let you know real quick.
