Mind Blowing!Sunday, May 25, 2003
This completely overlooked cd is the most diverse work from the master of surealist rap. When Esham began rapping he was into putting out "Satanic" raps way before gangsta rap had even gone mainstream so you know this guy is way ahead of the game. He continued doing shock rap untill about 96 when he tried to convert more to the mainstream with Bruce Wayne. It was a failed attempt but a year later he unleashed Mail D on the public. This is no doubt the most inovative work in the hip hop world in years and it was both ignored by the masses and some underground fans. Well I say forget the haters. What cd has more styles? When are you gonna ever hear someone rap about suicide, murder and Satan and then flip it for the next track and flow to the "Happy Days" theme? Where are you ever gonna hear a track where someone raps about sniffing coke over some old 50s music? And where are you gonna hear a free style like "Reload" where the beat is a mix of rock, rap, techno and classical music? Esham even does a dance song and a Euro techno type track. Not only that but this is lyrically his best work. In my opinion this is the album that should have sky rocketed Esham's career. Who knows what happened. Pick it up this is eons beyond Ja Rule, 50 cent, or any other MTV rapper.

I bought this CD on the day that it was released.At first I didnt like it cause it was different but as I listened to it more and more I started to feel the new [stuff]. I wouldnt count Esham out yet. Id say that its just the beginning. It was 1990 when he released his first album and at that time he was only 13 years old. So far hes got more than an album a year for 10 years plus the [stuff] that he did with NATAS. Anyone that can put out that many albums, and sell as many as he did, and being underground at that, is a LEGEND. Mad props to NATAS and The Dayton Family.Peace out.

esham is the undisputed king of underground rap, acid rap is what he calls it, but he is by far one of THE best lyricists ever, his style,delivery and content are raw and unique, MAIL DOMINANCE is a perfect example of how talented Esham is, there are a few of tracks im not really feelin, but almost all of the album is raw. on Outcha Atmosphere, Esham spits one of the most amazing verses ive ever heard(1st verse, go check that!)
"outcha atmosphere"Tuesday, May 16, 2000
when esham claimed he was outcha atmosphere he wasnt lying, this cd is unlike anything you've ever heard before, and i'm not lying when i say that, only song that sounds like something that esham has done a while ago, is the first trackm but right after that, its different, not different in what he raps about, but different as sound, its so ahead of its time that he's finding who likes change in the music world, people who never liked esham are buying this.... alls i can say is buy it, i think its worth every dollar, some of the strickly acid fans may not like it, but most will.
