Eminem bit Cage's style wholesale, screwed him over and blackballed him out of success. You can't like em both.
Lol got a Cage stan here on Rule34, what a small world.
Look, Cage can rap, but Eminem did not bite his fucking style. You do realise Em recorded the Slim Shady EP before Agent Orange even dropped right? Cage dropped AO in mid-1997, SSE was recorded in late 1996 to early 1997. So right away that completely disproves any idea of Slim Shady being based off Cage's persona.
As for other supposedly "stolen" lyrics like Eminem "biting" Cage's bars about Rage Against the Machine and hysterectomies, that's equally bullshit. Rage is a super famous band and everyone knows what hysterectomies are; two different people coming up with those lines on their own is a pretty easy coincidence.
And let's just be real: the two don't even sound remotely alike at all. Seriously, if you're going to accuse of Eminem copying, maybe actually listen to his records first. They're only "similar" insofar as they're both white and make horrorcore. I bet you're one of those people who also thinks Hunger Games stole from Battle Royale, because the logic there is equally comical.
If you like Cage, that's great, I do too. But the only person who blackballed him was himself, end of story.
And here we have another suburban poser trying to act like he's hard shit for liking Bitch Lady, what a not-so-small world.
Eminem stole his entire identity and life story from Cage. He's a proven liar; he didn't grow up poor or face hardship of any kind, his mom ran a taxi service and pampered him all through his childhood and lots of eyewitnesses back her up. Cage ACTUALLY went through real shit, going to Stony Lodge and being abused and getting inspired from A Clockwork Orange, which Eminem ALSO ripped off in his promotional material. It's true, Em didn't copy all of Cage's lyrics, but he took his style and made it more mainstream and quirky instead of the authentic personal trauma that Cage made it into. That's why he was blackballed, 'cause no one would fuck with that. Even Rick Rubin called him a wigger and wouldn't sign him.
If you don't appreciate real hip hop that's on you, but you and all you other Em stans are full of shit.
