Considering that he emerged in the era of Gangsta Rap, Common’s Alternative/Jazz Rap sound made him unlikely to achieve the success that he did. Unlike many artists who seem to flame out after their initial efforts, Common’s albums just got better and better. It is this acclaim and continued career upswing that could propel him as a surprise inductee, or maybe a nomination to the Hall in years to come.
