in terms of the reaction.
Tere wasn't a song on there that was gonna blow up as a single, Def Jam basically has them on the label for prestige-artist bragging rights & budgets them accordingly, the record industry is dying, the band didn't tour the record because they're busy working, and for all the talk about the story that worked as a blueprint for structuring the album bthe Redford character wasn't really memorable on its own merits.
Musically it was a motherfucka though & each MC did their thing.
