Was he blackballed by the industry after The Main Ingredient?
He couldn't link with other producers and drop a project with multiple producers?
I could see a CL and DJ Premier project come out in '96, or a CL, Premier, RZA, and Ski Beats project drop that year.
'97:
Too many hot beats from '95 to '99, he coulda got two albums before the millennium.
Coulda got some Dilla beats. Think he would have survived the 90s in good shape, but fizzled out in the mid-00s.
He had too many people around him and nobody reached out to lace him with an album? Something's not right.
