There is more than one artist with this name:

1. The Rapper: Cage Kennylz (born Christian Palko), commonly known as Cage, is an underground rapper based in New York City, United States.

Cage’s life has gone from watching his father shoot heroin, to addiction and violence and mental institutions to cutting an album for Columbia Records and being a rising star in the heyday of the NYC independent rap scene, to the final culmination and personal triumph that his most current release Hell’s Winter has become. It’s a brand new record from someone who has been through more extreme circumstances than most people could ever imagine, and has come out triumphant and a better person because of it, and whose artistic vision now reflects this.

18 years old, fresh out of the lodge, Cage decided to pursue his the talent he honed while in hell and try to become a professional rapper. He made a demo, got a manager and was introduced to Pete Nice of 3rd Bass fame. Pete featured Cage on his solo effort “Dust to Dust” on the song “Rich Bring ‘Em Back” in 1993. This was his first appearance on a rap record.

Through Pete Nice Cage met fledgling radio personality Bobbito Garcia who had just started his soon to be legendary late night mix show with DJ Stretch Armstrong. He was invited up to the show several time, earning a rep in the emerging underground NY scene as a savage and raw new MC with an original style based on his tortured life and demented imagery

    I wholeheartedly agree about the suicide statement... both pointless and annoying

    Saying that is about as useless as said argument seeing as shoutboxes are shoutboxes, but I agree with you. That's the point. Artists are always going to progress. I had a problem with the fact that he came on here saying that anyone who didn't like the record should commit suicide. That's just as (if not more) ignorant than someone coming down on the new album because it sounds different. Not to mention the continued insult towards my English, which has absolutely nothing to do with anything at hand. If you make an ass out of yourself, someone is going to call you out on it eventually.

    if 2 people want to argue... go to each others shoutboxes? I love everything Cage has done... I think those that don't are fine in their opinion however it is irritating when people dislike just because they cannot expand their mind a little with his new sound

    Yes, yes, I can write a whole slew of words yet say nothing with any content as well. Everyone can. I understand the English language a lot more than you seem to, with your repeated abuse toward it. Why don't you try using the word tawdry a few more times. Nice try, though. Your insecurities really shined through in that one.

    How unbelievably arrogant you are to think that I would be 'hunched over a thesaurus' when writing a response to your tawdry attempt at wit, it must be so comforting to assign the language that I am using to 'overcompensation' as it is the easiest possible 'go-to' position to simply dismiss something that you doesn't understand. Your goading might work on other people who have received your opinion without wanting it, but I find you laughable as opposed to intimidating. I shall not engage in this tawdry back and forth a moment longer, you are a hideously dull pedant and an utter bore.

    There needs to be more arguing over whether the metal band rapes the rapper or vice-versa. That argument is more fun to read than this one.

    It's nice to see that people can insult someone else's English while hunched over a thesaurus. I have an extremely competent grasp of the English language. Your overcompensation really gets you nowhere. On the subject of 'snobbery'; I'm sorry, but BrokeNCYDE is just the absolute end when it comes to 'music snobbery'. There is no subjectivity there. I don't even have to look at anything else in your charts. You have over a hundred plays of the aforementioned abomination. Yes, I am opinionated. So is every single other person on this website. You're no different. Your own cliches and contradictions (i.e. telling everyone who doesn't agree with your opinion to commit suicide), derived from your original post and follow ups here, are downright humourous. Please continue.

    I do have Lil Wayne in my top 50, guess that I wasn't really thinking it through when I was looking for a concise example of a prolific commercial rapper. My apologies

    Oh Silas, what a cliched music snob you are, all jumped up and over opinionated. You must either be too young to know better or some beligerant late 30's questionable who works in a second hand record store and looks down on people for buying music which you dislike. Stating the following; "Your opinion is completely invalid, to an extreme degree" proves two things, firstly that your grasp of English is dreadful and secondly, everything which I've previously stated. You state; "All he's doing is reflecting on his own life, not changing anyone else's." The pantheon of truely great lyricists is writ from beginning to end with people who write about their own experiences. The lives of the listeners are changed by the cathartic notion of relating to the 'difficult to discuss' subjects therein. Your point is indefensible nonsense.

    And you've recently listened to a track featuring Aesop Rock, one of the aforementioned hated 'abstract' forerunners. And you have BrokeNCYDE in your charts, which otherwise pretty much read like an Confused Indie Kid's Guide to Being Ironic. Your opinion is completely invalid, to an extreme degree. Cage isn't a vital force in anything. All he's doing is reflecting on his own life, not changing anyone else's.

    All of these accusations of Depart from Me being some sort of emo record are fucking ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's one of the few MC's who's rapping about something real as opposed to copping out by braggadocio, abstract crap or (god forbid) taking himself too seriously and banging on about people disrespecting his clique. If Cage is now too emo for you, I suggest that you stick some Lil Wayne on your stereo,scarf down a big mac and hang yourself as you are an oxygen thief . Cage is THE single most vital force in music operating right now, that said I find it hard to believe that anything will ever top 'Suicidal Failure', be it from Cage or any other artist.
