| 1 | * ArchivePanic: His discography includes 21 main albums. Plus mixtapes, collaboration albums, extended plays that he released inbetween his main albums. Also, a lot of his earlier releases [[BannedEpisode are out of print, owing to uncleared samples and not being properly distributed outside of Detroit]]. |
| 2 | * EveryoneIsSatanInHell: After releasing several albums with heavily Satanic lyrics, Esham released the song "Migraine Headache", featuring Music/InsaneClownPosse, contains the following lyrics: |
| 3 | -->Shaggy 2 Dope: Is Esham Satanic? |
| 4 | -->Violent J: Fuck that shit, I am! I'm Satan, bitch, Triple 6, goddamn! |
| 5 | * MainstreamObscurity: Despite being name dropped by Music/{{Eminem}} (who called himself a cross between Music/MarilynManson, Esham and Music/OzzyOsbourne on his song "[[Music/TheSlimShadyLP Still Don't Give a Fuck]]") and ICP, and appearing on albums by ICP, Music/KidRock (''Music/EarlyMorninStonedPimp''), Music/KoolKeith and Music/{{Twiztid}}, and having songs appear in some mainstream movies, including ''Film/{{Bulworth}}'', Esham's never had a hit single or album and remains obscure outside of Detroit. |
| 6 | * {{Narm}}: The chorus of "The Fear (Morty's Theme)". It's pretty hard to take Esham screaming "MORTY!!!" over and over seriously, even if you aren't picturing the Creator/JustinRoiland character in your head. The context that in the 1995 movie ''The Fear'', which this is the ThemeTune for, Morty is a wooden carving possessed by a demon, doesn't help, either, because now you're no longer picturing ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' in your head, you're picturing ''Literature/{{Pinocchio}}'', which is even Narmier. |
| 7 | * OvershadowedByControversy: His entire career. First, his music was Overshadowed by the HollywoodSatanism controversy (which [[NeverLiveItDown He Will Never Live Down]]), then by his beefs with other rappers, which included, but wasn't limited to, Esham getting chased by D12 and receiving a NoHoldsBarredBeatDown by the group because of a lyric he'd written about Eminem's daughter, as well as Esham throwing a bottle at D12's tour bus. |
| 8 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Esham and Natas opened up for Kid Rock in 1991 when the latter was supporting his debut rap album, ''Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast'', and Esham contributed the intro for Kid Rock's song "Live" off ''Music/EarlyMorninStonedPimp'' in 1996. Two years later, Kid Rock went 7x platinum with his album ''Music/DevilWithoutACause''. |
