I don't think he was silly, he had no real message (not that you need one to make compelling music) but he was a "monster" that exaggerated all the bad traits he picked up from the environment he grew up in, I think his newer feel-good, "you're beautiful" and open-heart songs are bland and trivial, mutch of his appeal for me was the shock value he had despite being a superstar.

Old school Eminem was him being like Esham.

Yeah

Not my point though, shocking music in general has been made before and after Eminem and better too, special thing about Em was that he tired to be gross and relatable on a animal instinct level all when he was selling ****loads of records and going on TV and et cetera, I'm not claiming that he was the first to do that of course, but it made him more interesting to me.

No, I understand. Eminem was the first artists I heard that said dark and ****ed up **** like that. Just pointing out who influenced it. Esham. He's one of the most influential artists in underground hip hop but rarely gets shine for it. He had a direct and heavy influence on Eminem's Slim Shady gimmick, on Kid Rock mixing rap with rock, on every single little thing ICP has done and on Danny Brown's experimental drug music.

Edit: Yeah, that's where the whole 'Slim Shady' sound came from. Old school Esham rapping about drugs, murder and suicide over classic rock samples.
