Acid rap is a
subgenre of
hip hop music pioneered by Detroit rapper Esham Attica
Smith, also known as Esham the Unholy and
referred to as "The Godfather" of Acid Rap. The style of
music is best described as a cross between
hardcore gangsta rap and violent horror films and has been at times mislabeled as
Horrorcore. It also features heavy use of
samples from rock artists' leading to an influence on
nu metal or
rap metal and
rapcore.
Other well known Detroit artists, such as Eminem, D12 and Insane Clown Posse also cross over into this genre. Kid Rock was influenced by the mixture of rap and hard rock used by Esham the Unholy. Esham the Unholy also formed a band called NATAS (Nation Ahead of Time and Space).
