And lol @ your last statement,if it wasnt for Rakim,NWA,etc.. there would be no hip-hop like today,so without them there would be no Eminem,Jay-Z,2Pac,Sadistik,Cage or Possessed,does that mean they`re the best at it?C`mon man,you`re better then this,at least you should acknowledge skill when you see it.
NWA influenced gangster rap. Cage, Sadistik, possessed, etc, are not Gangster rap. Your argument was made void.
Also, Cage was originally signed to Columbia around the same time DMX was. Which was around the same time NWA came out. Therefore, Cage is in the same league as them as far as length of appearance goes. Another reason your argument is void.. They did not influence his music.
I never said poss was skilled. I said Cage, in his prime, was better.
So what if they`re gangsta?Pele was forward,does it mean he cant influence some defender?And its not only NWA.I put etc... so you know what I meant,Rakim,Run DMC,Grandmaster Flash,Beastie Boys,LL,BDP,Public Enemy,etc...
Without those people there would be no hip-hop like there is today,therefore there would most certainly be no Cage, or at least not the one we all know.He was influenced by some of them,he had to listen to someone to even get the idea of starting a rap career.And Cage signed with Columbia in 93,while NWA came with Straight Outta Compton in 88,thats 5 years,its not the same length,therefore,your argument is void.
And no Cage is not even close skill-wise,never was,and wit his last album,I can easily say never will.
