**Make your decision based on SOLO work only, as 'The Future Is Now' is a classic, and even though I.B. is prevalent on the album, it doesn't make it an Ill BIll solo project, factoring that in alone would make the thread easily one sided.**
VS. 
Two New York bred MC's that are very different and very similar in certain aspects.
I thought this would be a good comparison seeing as they've put out about the same amount of official solo releases, with 2 albums credited to Ill Bill & Cage has 2 albums to his name aswell as an EP.
Both of their content is edgy, which can put off most people right from the start, Cage raps about cuttin people up, orgies, drugs, etc. but does so in a way that is for the most part entertaining.
Ill Bill on the other hand chooses to tackle some of the same subjects but is moreso inclined to talking about political issues, gangs, & religion.
They both have a good ear for beats, although I slightly like Ill Bill's production over Cage's, that just comes down to personal preference I guess.
Their both great at executing concept tracks, for example from Cage you have gems like Among The Sleep (Best described as a ****ed up version of eLZhi's 'Talking In My Sleep'), Agent Orange (Where he plays Alex of 'A Clockwork Orange' in his own mind), A Suicidal Failure, Subtle Art Of A Breakup Song (executed perfectly), etc. among others.
Ill BIll's got tracks like The Anatomy of a School Shooting (incredible), Chasing The Dragon, Too Young, U.B.S. (Unauthorized Biography of Slayer, which, I read up a little on Slayer and everything he said was on point), etc. and others.
At first I was leaning towards Ill Bill, but I revisted 'Hell's Winter' tonight and it's argueably a classic, and might shift my vote to undecided, factoring in the EP maybe even slight it for Cage...esspecially since these Cage tracks have leaked, 'Depart From Me' is one of my most anticipated albums of the year.
Leave it.
