Mail Dominance is the seventh studio album by the American rapper Esham, released in 1999.[2]
AllMusic wrote that "Unfortunately, on Mail Dominance it's not his delivery or flow that seems questionable but rather his lyrics and the production. When not rapping about nihilistic themes, Esham struggles to find engaging lyrics; here he's best when he raps indecipherably." The Village Voice thought that "it’s intermittently irritating or annoying—the production is mega-chintzy, and boy does he hate women (hook of 'Ozonelayer': 'You bitch/you bitch/you bitch you bitch you bitch you bitch you bitch')—but it doesn’t get anywhere near boring, or overfamiliar."[3] The Windsor Star opined that the album "provides more musical variety than most radio stations, with rap, dance, rock and even corny '50s- sitcom-influenced tracks."[4] Miguel Burke of The Source praised Esham's "tight flow", but was dissatisfied with the lyrical content of the album and "strange production", with some of the tracks reminding him the soundtracks of "cheesy futuristic flicks from '70s and '80s like Rollerball and Tron".
