that is not historically true. NIN put out 2 CC albums (or 5, depending on how you count).
Smashing Pumpkins has a CC album.
Beastie Boys has a CC track.
But all of those were well over a decade ago.
Stetasonic was on Warner Bros and then some of them have been on blocSonic releases.
Pete Miser of Five Fingers of Funk was Dido's DJ.
Snarky Puppy was on Universal
I'm sure if I spent any time at all, I could come up with other folks in the #ccmusic scene that have been on majors.
