Will Hegelian or Dialectical historiography regain any relevance into the contemporary historical discourse?

There are signs of interest in what is referred to in philosophy as the Hegelian Dialectic. Interestingly, for individuals who had not read Hegel previously, some cite the late hip-hip artist Prodigy of Mobb Deep as the individual which lead them to even be aware of the Hegelian Dialectic, see What is the Hegelian Dialectic?

Prodigy (Mobb Deep) brought me here
as they titled their last album The Hegelian Dialectic which includes songs directly addressing the political application of the dialectic, including Tyranny, No Religion, and Make America Great Again: Maf**kin U$A et al., and described how they interpreted the Hegelian Dialectic, see Hegelian Dialectic Explained With Prodigy Of Mobb Deep.
What is also interesting is the varied ways that people describe Hegel's Dialectics.
Specifically relating to Prodigy of Mobb Deep, given that they have an international fan base used to them including lyrics in their work that is particularly thought provoking, e.g., from the 1995 remix of L.L. Cool J's I Shot Ya
Illuminati want my mind, soul, and my body
Secret society, trying to keep they eye on me
But I'm stay incogni', in places they can't find me
see What's Behind Hip Hop's Illuminati Music Obsession?.
It is perhaps beyond the scope of this question to demonstrate the international influence that Prodigy of Mobb Deep has. Suffice to say that his decision to title his last album The Hegelian Dialectic has and will have a direct impact on the number of people (e.g., Prodigy Hegelian dialectic album and how it's philosophy controls America) who become aware of and study both Hegel and his dialectic.

Hegel still has a great deal of influence in the sub-disciplines of the "History of Ideas." However, Hegels grand theory of History as a philosophical concept has almost no use in contemporary work and the dominant anglophone historically methods. The philosophical concept of "history" doesn't resemble the disciplinary practice of historians. Gyorgy Lukacs is as far from EP Thompson as Hegel is from the history of ideas.
One issue to consider though is the triumphalism present in anglophone "Whig" historians of either the Tory or Whiggish political perspective: America f**k yeah, with your choice of whom "America" is.
