If "Po Pimp" dropped today with nothing changed, it would likely be bigger now than it was in 1996. Their style was more in line with rap now than it was in 1996. They were from Chicago, but still had this Southern vibe to them. This was still new and in 1996, people were adapting to new styles. Like, Crucial Conflict was from Chicago, but completely different vibe even though they debuted all debuted in 1996.
The production, rhyme style, flow, and delivery is more so now than 1996 even though that song was a pretty big deal in 1996. That Johnny P hook would put it over the top.
I think in 2025, people would check them beyond the single and they would have a pretty good album run.
