If you are the curator for this.
you should be on point and know this shyt.
First off you do realize twelves play a huge part in all this.
Especially, when if cypress never won the only real rap award ever won by a real cultural group was the billboard inaugral rap group award cypress won and changed the rap industry with as well.
In that era of cypress goat twelves..
common had the best solo twelves for artist in this era.
Especially for this era.
as again all this shyt was slow burn and real talk.
Common sense cibad was dope, breh.
Anyone saying different was not there and is a resurrection fan going back in time.
Plus could not have been there to be on the classic twelves from there either.
Soul by the pound, the original was the hardest beat in that era as well.
Plus common is the best remix solo artist of the styles war era as well.
Not to mention, common, cypress and red were never MTV or bet darlings and earned their way.
as opposed to prison industrial complex artist like nbn to dre were exclusively, then.
Common and red earned their number one vid slots on rankings and went for a number of weeks..take it ez ruled just as long as blow ya mind did as a video for that era and time.
Especially when compared to everything is gonna be alright and ain't nuffin.
As, originally those two were the only shyt played on MTV at that exact time, as a daytime add.
before MTV later would grav to the "urban" side of things.
Not to mention common was on relativity incomparison to defjam.
Building this up from the same actual physicals in store release day as Redman, and the chronic logistically in the store on the real first day on shelves for real.
along with red, del, and buckshot common was included with the new crop of guys.
who were also excellent response and pr grassroots interview guys as well.
