Detroit Rap pioneer Esham challenges Eminem in an interview with Murder Master Music Show posted by UGS Radio today (February 27).
“Tell Em to come on man, rap battle what?” Esham says in the interview. “Come on, what? Where ya at? I challenge.”
Esham became one of Detroit’s biggest independent artists in the ‘90s. His powerful and dark style known as “acid rap” helped influence the careers of Tech N9ne and Insane Clown Posse, among others.
He says Eminem has been disrespecting the city of Detroit.
“I am tired of Eminem,” Esham says in the interview. “I just want him to keep it real and quit being a bitch. He fuckin’ sold a lotta people out in the city, man. He needs to stop disrespecting the city and making people hate Detroit even more. That’s what that was about. Don’t even say shit about Detroit””
Esham points to recent Shady XV track “Detroit Vs. Everybody” as a moment were Em did not show proper respect for the city.
“With the ‘Detroit Vs. Everybody’ don’t say Detroit vs. everybody… you don’t help nobody in the city,” Esham says. “I don’t give a fuck. I will say that. You got a radio station and nobody gets played on your station? Come on, B. Get the fuck outta here. You got 50 hundred million dollars and you ain’t doing shit. Do something for the schools, anything, I don’t wanna hear that shit. If you say something about Detroit, I’m gonna say something about you. Let somebody say something to me. I ain’t gonna say shit. I ain’t lyin’ on that muthafucka.”
Eminem is reportedly working on an album for 2015 called Roots.
Esham recently released the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of his debut album, Boomin’ Words of Hell.
“When I came out with my first album I was just a kid…” Esham says on his website. “I unknowingly started the Wicket Shit! If you had asked me then I wouldn’t have believed I would spark the creation of an entire sub-genre. Over the years, many have indulged and benefited from the fruits of my labor. I felt betrayed at times but I’ve given back far more than I’ve taken from this game. I’m at peace with that. I feel blessed to be considered one of the most influential artists in rap music and cursed to have never been accepted by my peers.”
For additional Eminem coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
funny how Chavis Chandler, Dough Boyz Cashout, and various others detroit artist (Boldy JameS) have either been interviewed on shadE 45 or have there music in rotation consistently. NOw the school thing I can understand, but don’t say the man not doing shit for the city thats a fucking lie.
I’m from Detroit, what has Eminem done for Detroit?
Detroit got, according to Talib Kweli, some of the best rappers in the world. Em is prolly the highest seller rapper of all time BUT Big Sean had to run to Kanye. Danny Brown was hangin round G-Unit at first. And D12 was the wackest niggas to come out of the D. So how has Em been GOOD for the local rappers or rap scene? Not at all is how. I’m from the D too.
And Royce had to blow with Slaughterhouse before Em brought him back to the fold. Real niggas know.
you guys are not very smart. it isn’t Eminem’s job to put on everyone from the D. FOH with that nonsense. Eminem refused to star in the blockbuster movie Elysium unless they filmed it in Detroit to provide some jobs for locals. He cares more than most do.
@duke what the fuck did you want Eminem to do for you? did you expect him to come at your house and renovate your place? no dawg he dont do that no one does that!!!!
Esham only speaks the truth. Eminem is indeed a pop bitch. He singlehandily ruined hiphop.
Esham is keeping it 100. Eminem is straight booty and did nothing for the D. Black Milk reps hard, Dilla repped hard, Royce reps hard. Eminem is a pop act, much like the Hansons or Bieber. Even Bugatti Biebs is more respected in the hip-hop community right now.

COSIGN!!!
what has big sean done, what has den loaf done?
benzino, shut your washed-up, wack ass ass up and get back in the coffin em put the nails in
so because em is a huge pop artist, that discredits him as a talented rhymer or his first 2 classic records? and more over, because hes a millionaire/billionaire (or whatever), hes suppose to fix up all the schools and communities in detroit?? you niggas have a serious entitlement issue lol why don’t you do for yourself instead of bitching about what em is or isn’t directly doing for you or the folk of detroit, hmm?? just an idea.
Eli you’s a mooootherfuccckkking fool
Have you listened to Proof & Swift bars
No people haven’t forgot about you getting your bitch ass beatdown by D12, Esham. We all remember you talking that ish and getting KOd in 2001. No one has responded to your bxtch azz since then. You couldn’t even stay on Psychopathic records. Your trash azz got dropped by ICP. Go kill yourself homie.
HAHAHA real shit. 10 years later and any music from D12 is better than any song this man has ever made.
PLS STOP GIVING ANY LEGITIMACY TO ESHAM. He’s insanely deluded and is CRAVING any attention he gets.
In every interview Esham seems unable to keep Eminem’s name out of his mouth. In every interview he accuses Em of stealing his style, calling him and “all the other white artists that blew up,” racists.
“Instead of embracing the greatness that is Esham,” he said in another interview. “A lot of people chose to steal and pretend to be the nucleus that is me, to this Hip Hop thang. Marshall Mathers was a made to be Esham MC by the corporate machine…They then went in and spelled his name with a ‘E’ made sure it ended with an ‘M’ to subconsciously take the buzz we built up for the city 10 years prior to him even coming out. But even hoe ass Marshall knows he is Ne-Yo to my Micheal Jackson. And it is written in history.”
Esham seems to be so desperate for Em’s attention he even cusses Em’s daughters and ex-wife in songs and interviews.
This is the sad reality of spiteful miserable haters whose existence seems to stem around an angry deluded resentment toward somebody successful. These haters, or losers, are ruled by their ego and insecurities. Their life revolves around drama and politicking. They achieve little and want to stop others achieving too. A loser’s objective is to lower you to their level. They fantasize about getting under your skin and bringing you into their battle. You can’t win an argument with a fool because they don’t care about rationality and results. Trying to fight fire with fire – negative with negative – just creates more negative.

Why would you write a paragraph that long over this? You white dudes need to stop dick riding eminem.
if you dont get what this guy was saying or why, then your a smart -stupid motherfucker who is reading too much into the topic he’s commenting on and not reading between the lines..sit down
To the dude that mentioned you being white, and this being a paragraph. Whats wrong? too many words for you to read? And really how you turn what he said into a white thing? FOH with your ignorance.
Waste your life some more why dont you.
AND WHAT THE FUCK HAS ESHAM DONE for D?!?!?! SWEET FUCK ALL, NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THIS LAME ASS WANNABE
Esham is the Game of horrorcore; he’s always getting overly-emotional and starting beefs with people who don’t even notice him.
You realise that Eminem gives legitimacy to Esham, he has said before that he was inspired by Esham. Esham has had the rawest deal in the game. Suge Knight was either going to sign him or 2Pac, but chose Pac. Esham is credited as having the first double album in rap in 92.
Just look at his catalog he’s been releasing albums steadily since he was 13 he’s done like 30 + solo projects and like 10 group projects.
Just a no talent clown trying to name drop. He should get his ignorant ass back in line at the soup kitchen, it’s obvious his broke ass has no clue what he is running his mouth about.
Homeboy sounds extra salty. I read this, looked up some of his music and I have to say, he doesn’t want it with Em at all. Dude is a loser who fell off in the 90s and is probably mad he didn’t get asked to be on Detroit vs. Everybody.
…there it is.
Yup!
it’s just her time of month that white boy won’t even notice comments from a no talent broad like her
This moron is basically the male equivalent of Azelia Banks LOL! What a sad little joke of a human being, I hope he gets help.
yeah, cauce Em has something to prove to this fucking loser. lmfao
Em has done more for Detroit than you have, Esham.
Eminem has done ALL KINDS OF THINGS for Detroit. Hell he is probably the most recognizable person from there, he still lives in MI even….Who the fuck is this idiot aways trying to name drop him anyway? Seriously I have no clue who this angry old man is?
Sound like somebody hatin…
No people haven’t forgot about you getting your bitch ass beatdown by D12, Esham. We all remember you talking that ish and getting KOd in 2001. No one has responded to your bxtch azz since then. You couldn’t even stay on Psychopathic records. Your trash azz got dropped by ICP. Go kill yourself homie.
u a weak ass nigga
Please lets stop swearing its not nice
That shit about a Roots album was debunked like the same fucking day. How much this dude getting paid?
Sounds like he mad that Em’s PAID and hes not. He need to get his hustle on instead of complaining about what Ems doing…
and I ain’t even no Emenim fan…
I just hate haters…
Ummm…that “Roots” album was a hoax. It was even reported on this site as a hoax lol.
FUCK YO ASS ESHAM , you don’t call the Mutha fucking king ” bitch ” when you know , you are the only known ” bitch” out there.
Somebody should beat this no talent loud mouth clown’s ass. He’s mad because he is a nobody & making nobody money, end of story. Deal with it Esham, go find something you are good at, because it sure as hell ain’t rapping.
Eminem did a lot for Detroit, if Eminem was not around I would not know shit about Detroit or wear Detroit t shirt and shit get me 🙂
AND WHO THE FUCK IS THIS DIRTY JUNKY BITCH??
What the fuck black people do for Detroit????
Hilarious, because if he would have said “Big Sean is a bitch”, everybody would say that this dude is a legend, even though they don’t know who he is. He calls Eminem a bitch, and people are saying this dude is hating.
esham may not be Eminem status,but he’s no loser.he’s a pioneer actually,but he don’t want to see Em on the mic.
True statement
as a detroit native i dont think yall niggas even know how much esham influenced the rap game i salute my nigga for stayin real
it’s impossible to make it to the top without gaining enemies
its impossible to make it to the top without gaining enemies
I think it’s funny that Em’s been in the game for nearly two decades and dudes are still catching feelings over whether or not he should be making music. FOH with that garbage
“as a moment were Em did not show proper respect for the city.”
*where*
Esham has had Eminem’s name in his mouth for 15 years at this point. That’s a level of obsession previously unseen in hip hop. Even Benzino & Canibus moved on with their lives eventually.
These words coming from a man who thinks Eminem has been wack for a decade and fell off harder than any rapper on the planet.
But real is real and this dude is worse then Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Get a life already.
Sit Esham sit! Good dog.
Esham spoke the truth on our show
In Eminem’s defense.
Detroit is God’s blind spot of America.
I live in detroit & Em has help a lot of people from here but it’s not his job to help everybody i don’t hear or see shit Esham is doing so don’t talk about the next man when u not doing shit he just mad cause Em want give him the time of day
man stop lying he hasnt done shit for the city @ all esham keeping it 100 you white boys are booty hurt and dont think your idol does no wrong wrong you dumb ass crackkaz!!!
Em has different charities that help the youth n Detroit plus he signed rappers. em won’t do movies unless they are filmed in Detroit , which also brings Detroit money. Get your facts straight, u dumbass motherfucker
“50 hundred million dollars” This guy is a clown. If you’re going to talk trash at least get your facts straight, or on that point even use real words and numbers. Idiot.
haha thank you ^ i was hoping someone would catch on to that. 50 hundred thousand million ? dude sounds dumber than fuck. that would be 5 billion, and he doesn’t owe every penny he made to the residents of detroit. get real. that’s like being mad at Jay-z for not paying everyone in NY’s bills. foh
haa… EM can do what he wants , and your not even in his lane, don’t be mad at eminem bkuz of your own life. go make a million dollars then do what U want for detroit yourself.
I don’t see Dre signing mad people from Compton, I don’t see Jay signing mad people from Brooklyn, I don’t see Kanye signing mad people from Chicago. Em did help Trick Trick, and Royce, and a few others…Is he supposed to sign everyone from Detroit just because they from Detroit? This dude is retarded, and knew he would get some stupid person to post this as a article on hiphop news sites, that is the only reason he said this shit, and u all know it….Cuz I don’t see anybody complaining about all these other huge rappers from other cities not helping there own…gtfoh
Co sign
As a resident of Detroit. This is the most retarded thing I’ve read in a long time.
Used to make fun of Esham when he first came out in the early 90s and now I have less respect.
Eminem has always been a bitch. Never could stand that clown. His music is wack too, all of it.
Another old cunt using eminems name to get noticed, hes not obligated to do shit, detroit may have made him what he is today, but that doesnt mean he owes it shit
who is this esham character and why is he talking about eminem?
Detroit is a shit hole
fucking toilet
Esham’s just mad that Eminem isn’t eating out of a dumpster and begging for change like he is. Esham fell off a LONG time ago, dude’s a chump
The Devils Night album was the shit. Eminem’s first 3 albums were incredible. Some people let the cash and fame go to their heads. I know for a fact if I got on some major money from ANYTHING I would be buying my friends and family and my city/county whatever they needed. Hand me a 100M and watch what happens to my area… That’s all I’m saying. Esham is a OG of the craft in which he practices. And he HAS influenced some of the biggest names in the game from the underground to the mainstream. I respect what Esham has to say no matter what you fuck faces talkn bout
Err….he helped out with Chrysler (yeah they’re still UGH, but at least he helped lol) and he’s done A LOT of charities and donations in the D. It’s also known that Eminem doesn’t brag or seek media attention when he’s giving back to the community.
Interesting….my thoughts: There’s a lot more going on than what’s on the surface. There’s a story behind this animosity. Regardless of what has happened, Detroit is a city that has been in a bad state. I have no idea what Eminem has done for the city outside of music but is it really his responsibility? Most definitely yes. He’s been profiting from a culture that embraced him. And its not like he can’t afford to do something. I’m not even talking about giving money cuz that doesn’t do a damn thing. Why not start some kind of mentoring program? Why not reach out to young guys that aspire to rap to give them tips? There are so many things he could be doing. Yes, he has his own family to take care of but I feel like successful people, who owe their success to their surroundings, have a responsibility to repay those who helped them in some way. Just giving money doesn’t mean anything…IMO
When does his comments about Eminem starts
English, mothafucka! Do you speak it?!
Esham just mad he was a millionaire, until his brother who did ALL THE WORK TO PROMOTE Esham, got caught slipping. This fuckin guy has begged I.C.P. for a Job, them dudes gave him one, he str8 fucked it up. Proof gave Esham a shot, Esham fucked it up, Trick Trick gave Esham some shine, he fucked it up. Now, his salty ass, living with Ma, is gonna start takin shots at Em again.. Same dude who did a song bout Killing Hayley, same dude who 15 years past his prime still putting out shock rap, and gonna blame Em for his TERRIBLE WORK ETHIC, Dude who way past his prime could do 1 show a Month for 5K in Detroit, IF HE DID NOT FUCK OVER EVERY PROMOTER AND CLUB. East Side Hoes and Money died when James lost control. Go eat a dick, Esham, and for the greater humanity you will choke to death on it..
This is a prime example of an ignorant ass nigga. What does Eminem do for Detroit? How about the Marshall Mathers Foundation which helps disadvantage youth throughout Michigan, not just Detroit. He also supports the Eight Mile Blvd Association. And since win is it Eminem’s job to babysit all the rappers from Detroit?
lol I knew this would have a lot of comments. Eminem is the greatest. He’s the reason anyone living outside of Detroit knows about Detroit.
esham, what have you done for detroit? are you helping to build any new schools? for all this talk about what another man should do or isn’t doing, i sure hope you hold yourself up to the same standard of giving back to the community that you’re holding em to and not just a another nigga with an entitlement issue talking shit about other ppl not doing things (that you aren’t doing your damn self)
Esham don’t have the money em has to do that shit.. How many artists do
jesus, its not em’s job to sign everyone from detroit, nor is it his responsibility to clean up the community in detroit (which will get fucked up all over again cause niggas don’t know how to act in the city)
“He needs to stop disrespecting the city and making people hate Detroit even more.”
I guess Eminem is responsible for Detroit’s declining population, crime rate, and bankruptcy. Detroit was one of the most respected cities in the US before Eminem’s music ruined its fine reputation!
Pretty sure Esham don’t even live in Detroit anymore, all his product comes from out of Michigan plus I heard he moved out a while back. And btw Eminem is Detroit.
Fuck this jelous noboddy
he disses em, and “coincidentally” just released an album.
C’mon guys, you’re smarter than this.
He did one thing right, he got himself some attention. Here ya go…Esham is it? I’m sorry I never heard of you until now. Which should be surprising seeing as how you did so much for hip hop…which is? Created acid rap? Well, whatever that is, I’m sure it’s great. I hope this made you feel better. Have some more attention. Maybe I’ll comment again to bump up that comment count for ya.
I’ve never seen Esham or Eminem ever do anything for the city they both claim Detroit. Big Sean, Kid Rock, Jack White and Matthew Stafford are the only ones I ever see do anything in the city.
I’m from the westside of Detroit. I do not know one single person who can name one single Esham song or even knows who the guy is. Esham is nothing.
stinkmeaner Em had 3 classics I’na row don’t try hatin om The Show
Detroit vs Everybody was a sham how could Em not put Obie on it…
Odi has retired bro
The guy has a charity that helps under privileged youths and he has turned down movie roles unless they are set in Detroit. This is without mentioning his radio station and battle shows. Just because the guy doesn’t make a song and dance out of charity for the tabloids doesn’t mean he isn’t doing anything. I’m not saying Em is the Mother Theresa of rap but he does more than a lot of others. I’m not seeing anything that Esham has done that allows him to make that judgement.
100% the truth……Em = Elvis
I think Eminem does more things for good than people know.. because as far as i know he NEVER been the guy who brags about things to make him look good.. thats why i dont think people realize it
And btw who the fuck is the Bitch?? for real?? you have been crying out on radio and media the last 15 years about how he stole your style and etc.. man come on whos the biatch?
First of all, Every rapper that has ever sold at least 500,000 albums is pop. Pop is a complement. It means you’re popular. 2pac, biggie, jayz, nas, 50, eminem, eazy, dre, snoop, cube, ja, nelly, game, wayne, drake, kendrick, gunit, bonethugs, etc are all pop. Theyve earned the right to be “pop”… You’re either “pop” or “underground” meaning you either good enough for masses to like you or you’re garbage and noone likes you. Eminem is good obviously. To say Eminem has done nothing for detroit is like saying dre, cube, snoop, eazy, etc did nothing for LA. or Jay, nas, 50, did nothing for new york. Maybe its true but as Jay said “I cant help the poor if im one of them, so I got rich and gave back to me, thats the win win.” Isham sounds like a cry baby.
k this guys a joke…talking about he does nothing for the city…whats his broke ass done? and all these people backing him up cuz dude trys to act tough? yea eminem is really gonna listen to esham….eh esham noone cares and if you were infront of me id knock the taste out your dam mouth. noone has even uttered your dam name until this comment came out..so clearly your not doing anything for your city either…you no what run for mayor or something instead of “attempting” to cut up a rap genius cuz clearly the rap game aint working for you anymore you fuckin bitch.
An old washed up rapper/producer who by bashing Em in the media will get hints and blogs will pick up his quotes or comments. And it gets the washed up rapper/producer some spotlight after not having any for so long.
lol this pussy nigga already got bodybagd by d12. not mashalls problem his bitch ass cant get fame. em did more for the D than y’all can dream of. d-twizzy for life
Em made a track called “Detroit Vs. Everybody” while Esham has been doing weak horrorcore for decades. Esham has never done anything for Detroit and constantly beefs with Detroit rappers more famous than him, even ICP.
Exactly what I expected to read, dudes from the D speaking on what they see versus the worshipers who know nothing of community or a music scene. Thanks for the verification guys.
Screw this jealous asshole, he is a no name no talent broke ass just trying to name drop.
This Esham guy is a petty boring jealous old man, someone should knock his nose off!
Seriously though, who the fuck is Esham, I’ve never even heard of his old ignorant ass?
DETROIT artist get love on shade 45. I don’t know what he’s talking about.
Sounds like just one of these bitter broke dudes who’s mad at somebody more famous even though they don’t interact. I know some official street dudes that Eminem helped get deals on some real deal shit back when money was still flowing decent from the labels. Like killa type motherfuckers in the streets for real, so I don’t know about all this he ain’t helped nobody out shit.
what else is new? More black people wanting white people to do everything for them. lazy race.
Color ain’t got shit to do with it bitch
shut the f**k up. attention seeking nobody
some of you are being just as racist as a white man is to a blackman smh
Bunch of cryin ass bishes smh
I went to school with Esham and personally witnessed his movement and I must admit that I am disgusted by his actions. He really needs to go find a real job or some shit at this point. I can’t agree with ANYTHING he is saying. I personally don’t remember him doing ANYTHING for the city. He is truly grasping for straws at this point and it’s disgusting, including at this stage of his career he does NOT want to battle damn near ANYONE.
If it wasn’t for the My$ta’ Blakk, who produced Boomin’ and Judgement Day, Esham wouldn’t even have had that Acid Rap sound that made him so famous… and did Esham take care of My$ta’ Blakk (aka The Blakk Abyss) financially? Of course not!
This boy salty. Keep hangin on brotha, grab onto whatever you can. Now that you finally realized you ain’t shit gotta do something. All ya Em haters are sorry, have fun kids, thanks for keeping me entertained.
Esham, you are just as Shady as Eminem. I personally know the producer who made the beats on Boomin’ and Judgement Day and he never got paid for those tracks he did… so if I was Esham I wouldn’t be pointing fingers with his dirty hands…
Who? I find this hard to believe, I’ve seen video from studio sessions, KKKill the Fetus, Life After Death by NATAS, Blaz4me (NATAS) are a consistent evolution imho till a marked shift in closed casket and Doubelievengod? (NATAS) in style. And I’ve heard his first recorded track from 88 and it sounds like a more amateurish/still learning Boomin Words From Hell vibe… also Danny Brown was influenced by Esham: – watch the Nardwaur interview if you don’t believe; collaborated with Esham on DMT Sessions (& ICP). E is shady like drug n mental problems love hate relationship with most everything & one on sorta bipolar tip, but I dunno bout not payin ppl. He had artists on RLP besides Dice seemed happy
No people haven’t forgot about you getting your bitch ass beatdown by D12, Esham. We all remember you talking that ish and getting KOd in 2001. No one has responded to your bxtch azz since then. You couldn’t even stay on Psychopathic records. Your trash azz got dropped by ICP. Go kill yourself homie.
HAHAHA real shit. 10 years later and any music from D12 is still better than any song this man has ever made
A dozen vs. 2. Let’s see anybody, even Chuck Norris, beat those odds and win the fight. Nobody has forgotten that. That’s called a bitch move by D12. Gay ass unoriginal bitches. He got ’em back in LA. You’re bottom feeder.
Your gay you ant even from Detroitduckoff
Fuckin’ right. Eminem can’t even fight his own fights – physically. Esham woulda beat is ass 1 on 1. Eminem’s a little bitch. Talkin’ shit about Kim in his raps, but takes her to court as soon as she starts publicly talkin’ shit bout him. Pussy ass. And all these bitches on here talkin’ shit about Esham because they’re on Eminem’s dick.

STFU BITCH, Who do you think you are? Oh wait I know! A retard!
You know your career has fallen far when even ICP don’t want you.
I am officially done researching into this industry after discovering M&M. I have statements, pics and acts that demonstrate abuse of control through using approval and lust. I also see petty petty irrational arguing, that is a waste. Why are so many so infatuated with this person? How does one even provoke such a ‘fan’ base, and for many, fans that are blinded by M&M, thus not recognizing their own identity and inspiration.
Now as any down to earth, underground music artist knows; it is counter intuitive to become an Idol, as idol’s are molded or they conform- copy, mimic, quick transform to gain approval, lust and or adoration from labels and society. What person who has yet to live in the street, live soul survivor, gain worldly and human service knowledge and wisdom, while holding integrity and humbleness; leads any community? What community would allow such a person to take that seat?
Excuse typo- should be M&M
Ok, still autocorrected
Eminem not M&M
Who the Fuck is this Bitch. Fuck This MTF. GTFOH.
He’s the dude your fuck boy idol grew up idolizing & biting from
Esham is terrible enough said
I thought Esham started that Detroit acid rap shit he influenced Em, Kid Rock and others why diss him??
I don’t truly know why but I think maybe he feels cheated because he started the whole horrorcore stlyle and no one accepted it from him but when eminem did it everyone loved it and he became a worldwide icon and millionaire.
Yo real talk. Back in the 90’s down in Rosarito Mexico at some little club, just before em came out with the slim shady ep he had a little show i happened to be at. I’m from AZ and had known about ESHAM and NATAS (rip TNT) well before em. Em came on stage with his face painted up like ICP doing the “Detroit woop woop” “Detroit What” man I just laughed like who the fuck is this guy. He even did his “I’m like a cross between Manson Esham and Ozzy” then I was really like who the fuck is this theif? I put that on what ever the Fuck you need it to be. Face painted up like a fucking clown.
I went to a few ICP shows. Hands down the illest show I had been at. Even Twiztid. Yo after the shows both groups will come out and chill the Fuck out. Blaze trees and fucking be humble. Then I caught a wtf moment when i heard ESHAM had a show in AZ with some fool Kool Keith. Went to it about 10 homies deep. While ESHAM was rapping we ended up stomping out some suckas from Mesa and jumpibg on stage. ESHAM slapped hands with us then we became security. Before that show we blazed the fuck out with him and I even cruised MASTAMIND to the store for some Tylenol bumping MULTIKILLIONAIRE. ESHAM even signed my muthafucking 357 mag handle. Like a G no prints and no hints. Fucking respect that. Hope the guys read this shit and vouch for it. 100
