Hey fam, I've never really gotten into esham, and the little i've heard of him was kind of "meh" to me, besides the collabs with ICP/psy (he KILLED it in 8 ways to die)

Could you guys link me some of your favorite Esham tracks so I can check them out?

Same for most of Dead Flowerz. J tried to type out a few but got overwhelmed cus there's so many great albums by the guy.

Closed Casket and KKKill The Fetus are fairly perfect albums.

I'd also say that http://www.com is an absolute classic even though Esham changed his style by this time, it doesn't sound like any other rap album that's existed and it has a ton of bangers.

As far as specific songs:

24/7
The Wicket Shit Will Never Die
Mental Stress
Can't Take It Wit Cha
Sunshine
666
Symptoms of Insanity
One Day
King Of Hearts
Metropolis
Football
Forever Fly

That's a very strong opinion.

I'd have to strongly disagree E's last 10 albums were garbage.

Basically everything from tongues and earlier is good to differing degrees.

Kkkill the fetus, closed casket, judgement day, and doubelievengod (natas) are my favorites.

If you really believed that all lives matter we wouldn't need to say black lives matter

I guess Closed Casket and Dead Flowerz are "the best"... personal faves that aren't as popular include Suspended Animation, A-1 Yola, Mail Dominance and Acid Rain (which is sort of a sampler/intro to Esham but is still fucking fantastic).

Oh, and although I may have recommended the "I Ain't Cha Homie" album simply because it's a favorite of mine & is Esham's "juggalo" record...

it might be best to listen to "Acid Rain" first, its an XL greatest hits/best of type album, handipicked and NARRORATED by ICP, created for the purpose of catching juggalos up on Esham's pre-Psy career before dropping "Repentance". So...its a pretty good place to start.

"Suspended Animation" is a great one, maybe even his best...
