When is this album coming out? You should finish this shit and go on a 50 show tour across the US with Mr. Lif. Film it for a DVD to go with the album later on. We need a new Can Ox album also.

Roger that.

Buy.

Cage is still the shit.

No you missed the mark when you said that the marketing genius at Def Jux changed Cage to bring in 15 year old boys. They knew what to do and how to do it, they got Cage to sober up and lose weight. They took him shopping for new clothes and let his hair grow out for one purpose only- bringing in girls. They are crafty little bastards aren’t they?! The last piece of the puzzle was to get Cage to write a song about a stalker who says all the things a girl wants to hear right before he kills her. We girls love a stalker love song.

It really was a great plan and it seems to be working. Because the difference in bringing in 15 year old boys and grown women is that women will fall for a guy and then want to know everything about him which means that we will go back and find all of his old stuff and buy it. We will want to know about his friends which means that we will find Aesop, El-P and Camu and buy their stuff too. To El the obvious puppet master- that was genius.

So it is not that he wanted to clean up his life and explore new things artistically. It isn’t even that he thought that Movies was good enough to stand on its own without repeating it over and over again. Yep it was all about marketing.

To all of the straight guys complaining about his clothes and his hair- stop being such a chick. I love all of the guys talking about his new look and somehow that makes Cage gay. Suddenly all of the old fans have become Queer Eye for the rap guy.

Either enjoy the new stuff or move on to someone more willing to cater to you. From where I am sitting you got what you wanted from him and he doesn’t owe you anything. You sound like the old ex who got dumped for the new girl- me.

I'm pretty sure El-P and Cage don't care that some fag wrote a novel about their new marketing strategy on definitivejux.net.

“There’s a disconcerted boy with an opinion and an arsenal of hearsay on any given corner of the world these days begging for you to fail so that they can redeem themselves somehow.”

Lol.

I can't ever remember an MC changing his style so much like Cage. Who else has done so? It reminds me of a high school girl trying to get in with a new crowd which makes sense because that is obviously what Cage is doing.

And Cage's Album of the year? Did you even listen to that song 'Fat kids need an anthem'? Fucking garbage I tell you.

Depart From Me is the album of the year niggas.

This track is dope. Probably recorded before Cage's Depart from Hip Hop album and his new Oasis look. It's cute that he is trying on new outfits and now crossing his legs when he sits. I love watching this guy. Just shows he was fake all along and now he is waving it in everyones face like he is saying 'thanks for the money and support but I was Gay all along and everything I said was fake you suckers!' I am just waiting to hear about him and Shia Lebouf being lovers. Would it really surprise anyone?

yeah, i made a linkin park comparison, which i still stand by, but its primarily in relation to marketing purposes; to attract that hardcore 15 year old rebelling against the society that attempts to conform him/her. i have listened to the cage record plenty of times, and like i previously said, i applaud the marketing strategy to target the younger goth kid/hot topic shoppers. from his personal life to the song content, he is a perfect iconic fit to fill that artist void for that demographic. cage shows used to be 18 and up, now they are 15 or 16? something like that? see what i mean? but back to the music... the only song that remotely sounds anything similar in delivery, syllable structure, flow, etc to this new weathermen track (or at least cage's verse) is nothing left to say. the rest of the record, he isnt juggling wordplay and rhyming with a monstrous, complex delivery like how he used to rhyme. hell, half the time he is singing. now, i am not saying "old cage is better" or any of that nonsense, but its obvious the primary element absent from depart from me, is the really sharp rhyming ability that attracted some of his core audience. I am certain a percentage of album sales, or downloads, or fans in general, probably are just now getting into cage, so they wouldn't remember the punchlines and pcp references. "granted, i got a cannon and my freakin mouths leakin cause my crew put more dust in the air than housekeeping" yes, obviously drug references are not in this album, and thats not what i am addressing; i am trying to point out the fact that the sentence structure, delivery, and references are also gone in DFM...but at least they show up in the new weathermen track. bottom line, DFM will give cage more exposure because he is doing something different and expanding his target audience to fans who might not own illmatic, but rather a linkin park cd. congrats. lastly, to end with a jay-z quote that is more suitable to this conversation..."dumb down for my audience to double my dollars, they criticize me for it, yet they all yell holla!"....except replace "holla!" with "i was a fat guuuuuyyyyyyyy"

Sounds good. Glad to hear this after the disapointing Cage album.

Only someone who hasn't listen to the new Cage record would make a Linkin Park comparison. "Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?" Jay-Z

cant wait for The Weathermen album!!!

sometimes i wonder if the whle world if deaf.
this shit is def.

holler

first real release >same as it never was<.

i got the promo free version jacked rite from el-p's page. thanks you wondershare streaming audio recorder. Deny ur fans product for too long, there gonna get it one way or another. never trust a junkie i mean a jukie!!!!

thats what im talking about

What an excellent sounding track. This is indeed the real shit. I hope the new album follows suit, cant wait to hear it. WM!

this track was a pleasant surprise. the beat hits hard, aesop destroys it in his practically confusing as chinese math delivery (love the "car! honk honk...game on!" shit). el further destroys it with what i consider one his best verses since the first track on weareallgoingtoburninhell2 "breathe exhaust cloud mmmm favorite." but the best part about this was that cage shows he can still rap. that depart from me/linkin park sound is fine...i applaud the marketing strategy to target the new wave of goth/hot topic kids with this latest project, but i tend to drift more towards actual heavy rap; the sort of thing that made me a fan in the first place. its important to diversify your bonds, but its also important to throw a bone to the original fans, while still proving you have it. if any of the tracks featured off camu's king of hearts album will be on djp4, then that and this kidnapping song should make this compilation pretty solid....aside from that gas galazy track from yak ballz. what happened there? damn...

That shit is hot!

i seriously cannot wait for this album SHIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE

Like a giant's towering silhouette in the distance of a fog encrusted world where nothing lives but desperately wants to, needs to...

...The Weathermen are coming.

really like where this is going. When is the release?
