What’s the demo for this?

Kid Cudi – Maniac ft. Cage

v i a

Featuring Pharoahe Monch, Bahamadia, Rich Medina, Count Bass D, Cage and more. Originally released in 2000.

I wasn’t going to put this up on principle but now I do so with the hope that there are other people who will watch and be as disappointed as I was. Who do you think has a better lawyer?

Someone was asking me about this back and forth between Cage and Vast Aire the other night. This track is apparently the latest diss from Vast. He also recently wrote a long explanation about the beef right here. I can’t imagine El-P “censoring” anything but what do I know. Although Cage’s last record is arguably the “cleanest” attempt at “dark” music I’ve heard.

Short fan vid by DownLowProductions for Cage’s Ballad Of Worms. My wife used to love this song. Sometimes the music overwhelms [the inappropriateness of*] the content, and no one gives a damn. Kind of like Akinyele’s Put It In Your Mouth. Someone else also did a Dawn of the Dead version.

*revisited

Anyone else find it kind of curious that Cage scanned less than 4000?

I would like to also shout out Ray Kurzweil and big up futurism. “The future is all the rage” (c) Cage. Peace to EVR

Cage – I Never Knew You / EP
1. I Never Knew You
2. Follow The Bleeder
3. Tongue In A Sharks Mouth
4. Hell Oh
5. It’s The 80’s Again

Here it is, the start of LaBeouf’s career as director? The antithesis of Ashless Rothschild? The melding of marketing and artistic creativity? The further assault of DefJux? Is this white rap? Will this be rejected by the hip-hop blogging superheroes? How many times will Eminem be mentioned in reviews? Will I be keeping my Agent Orange 12inch when I move in July? If you make a joke about Cage’s tight pants, aren’t you really late now? If LaBeouf wasn’t a famous movie persona, would this have gotten the same attention? If it wasn’t so early in the morning would I be writing all these questions? But why is this coming out now around the same time as Eminem? Oh shit, illuminati is out for hip-hop? A triple wave covert war on rap? First Ashless for the kids who don’t know better, then Slim for the traditionalists, and now this? Damn, they nice with theirs.

I guess a Cage movie might actually happen. More clips over @ mtv. Peace to Vega.

This is off of the free I Never Knew You EP that will precede his forthcoming full length. Don’t know who produced it but I can dig it.

Seeing as how Transformers 2 is gearing up for release I figure this pic is timely, even though it’s from the set of the first T movie (this is where I would insert no homo if I was 15). This afternoon DejJux announced the first official leak from Cage’s upcoming album. They point to Tom Breihan’s wordy Pitchfork intro but the download link is dead. You can still stream it so don’t know what the denial of access is about. I guess you could still cop it for free from the DefJux site (that would make sense right?) but you would have to waste life by registering and checking out through their online music emporium. Good thing the homie Vega, who stays on top of these things, reupped it for us.

Cage – Nothing Left To Say

This I get.

Don’t ask. I got nothing.

Dj Eons One threw this tape-rip up. A Cage demo that I don’t remember ever hearing before.

Cage – My Mind Is Kind Of Morbid

Bonus: Here’s that vampire track featuring Cage that we threw up a few days ago. We were asked to take it down cause the leak wasn’t approved. Well, now it’s approved. Peace to No Pretense.

No Pretense – Self Harmonic ft. Cage

Balance: With respect to that pic, here’s a vid where Cage addresses his hipster image, among other things.
