Eminem said that cos he knew people would accuse him of doing just that... just like when they said he was homophobic, instead of apologizing, he made criminal which was about the most homophobic song I've ever heard (or one of them). He just does it to piss people off

And dunno about Cage, but Em's been here since 1996... not sure about Cage, but i think he's '98-99... or maybe im just lost

But yeah, they do sound the same at times...
