Eminem vs Esham
Esham
On the track "Still Don't Give a Fuck" from his debut album The Slim Shady LP, Eminem included the lines, "I'm a cross between Manson, Esham and Ozzy." The line was meant as a tribute to Detroit rapper Esham, and he didn't take offense. However, the feud escalated later, and on the track "Kill You" from The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem rapped, "I ain't 'acid rap,' but I rap on acid," apparently responding to accusations that he had bit Esham's style. Following the release of D12's debut Devil's Night, which was more shock-oriented than Eminem's solo albums, claims that he and the other members of D12 had bit Esham's style increased.
Esham took shots at Eminem on the track "Chemical Imbalance" from his 2001 album Tongues:
As a result, at the Warped Tour in Camden, New Jersey after Esham's album Tongues was released, Eminem's group D12(without Eminem because he was at home in Michigan), and 40 friends and associates of D12 assaulted Esham and T.N.T., a bandmate from his group Natas, pelting them with rocks and kicking them in the heads, leaving Esham with damaged hearing in his left eardrum, a concussion and a ruptured eyeball and T.N.T. with bruises and cuts. As a result, Esham, Natas and D12 were dropped from the tour. Esham told Billboard that he videotaped D12's entourage just minutes before the attack, for the possibility that the footage would be used for identification purposes in court. Esham also said that D12 were 100% in the wrong, and that him being kicked off for defending himself was horrendous. He also believed Eminem premeditated the attack. [3]
