say the crossover appeal of of RZA's bigger tracks will be "his" edge.
RZA def had his point where he fell off, and of course Primo's catalogue is insane, but Primo's one weakness is his most historic beats are best known among hip hop heads not necessarily a mainstream/ig live audience.
Like NY State of Mind, Mass Appeal, etc.. without doubt timeless tracks that are among the best in hip hop history. But not necessarily recognizable to the rando checkins from the general public on these ig live battles. But shit like Shimmy Shimmy Ya? Can It Be All So Simple? C.R.E.A.M? Bring Da Pain? These are well known beats/samples far beyond hip hop circles.
Primo might be able to tap into a little mainstream X-ennial nostalgia with that Craig David remix he did lol, but for the most part okp is like his main demo
