No, he's not the timeline shifted so is the narrative and the history is not mainstream, and if not mainstream then it won't be in the consciousness of the masses if you go back in the timeline he was very well recognized and respected by the masses but he just wasn't able to transcend time as the sound changes.
Wat ever happened to CL...I know he still spits but it's like after those 1st couple albums in the 90s he kinda just faded back like may have started doing something else and left music alone...

I'm in my classroom teaching so I can't listen out loud right now. But I can even see on mute he killin' it just from his head bob, hand gestures and his eyes lol I'm listening as soon as this class is over.
Conscious Hip Hop was crazy it told a story and spread a truth with a whole college level education of lyrics just hitting your soul with every beat and every word spoken. I miss this so much.
Common destroyed that, but can we give it up for those P.R. beats - timeless! Some of those beats are over 30 years old! Much love and respect to both artists!
