Stanton Swihart of <a href="/wiki/Allmusic" class="mw-redirect" title="Allmusic">allmusic</a> describes the track as an "infectious" outing that was an "instant classic" on release, driven by Rock's "irresistible horn loop" and the "tight flow" of A.D.O.R.'s rhymes. A hit in the summer of 1992, for Swihart its qualities have now proved timeless.<sup id="cite_ref-am1_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-am1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-am2_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-am2-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> HipHopDX calls "Let It All Hang Out" "a certifiable Pete Rock classic", with "delicious horns" that no other producer could emulate.<sup id="cite_ref-dx_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dx-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Though most critical commentary focuses on the production, the rapper's contribution is roundly praised; Steve Juon of RapReviews notes in particular that the record established A.D.O.R.'s distinctive, high-pitched register.<sup id="cite_ref-juon_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-juon-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id=""One_for_the_Trouble"_and_The_Concrete"><span id=".22One_for_the_Trouble.22_and_The_Concrete"></span>"One for the Trouble" and <i>The Concrete</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=A.D.O.R.&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: "One for the Trouble" and The Concrete"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A.D.O.R. toured with major acts and made television appearances building on the buzz created by "Let It All Hang Out". In 1994, he followed up with a second single, "One for the Trouble", produced by K-Def and the legendary Queensbridge producer <a href="/wiki/Marley_Marl" title="Marley Marl">Marley Marl</a>. This record provided the "back once again with the ill behaviour" vocal snippet which was sampled by <a href="/wiki/Roger_McKenzie_(musician)" title="Roger McKenzie (musician)">Wildchild</a> in "<a href="/wiki/Renegade_Master" title="Renegade Master">Renegade Master</a>" and popularized in <a href="/wiki/Fatboy_Slim" title="Fatboy Slim">Fatboy Slim</a>'s 1998 hit remix. "One for the Trouble" signaled that plans were underway for a debut album on Atlantic titled <i>The Concrete</i>. Despite his successful run at the major label, A.D.O.R. was let go from his contract with Atlantic in 1995 without <i>The Concrete</i> being released, reportedly because of disputes over creative decisions, even though promotional items were released and the catalogue number 82443 was assigned to the release.<sup id="cite_ref-stone_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-stone-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tru_Reign:_Shock_Therapy">Tru Reign: <i>Shock Therapy</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=A.D.O.R.&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Tru Reign: Shock Therapy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A.D.O.R. formed his own record company in 1996: Tru Reign Records. For his fledgling label he immediately recorded and released as a single another Pete Rock track, "Enter the Center". It was a successful venture. Stanton reports that it sold "remarkably well" given its independent, small scale distribution, and received heavy radio play.<sup id="cite_ref-am1_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-am1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He considers it the equal of its predecessor "Let It All Hang Out", but Juon goes further, offering that both Rock and Castellanos had improved their respective techniques in the six years between the two tracks. He draws attention to a new-found depth in the lyrical content of A.D.O.R.'s rap, putting this advancement down to maturity and experience in the later record.<sup id="cite_ref-juon_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-juon-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> HipHopDX's reviewer found in "Enter the Center" "more of Pete Rock's understated brilliance".<sup id="cite_ref-dx_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dx-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A.D.O.R.'s singles to date were collected on his debut album for Tru Reign, <i>Shock Frequency</i> (1998). Rock and Marley Marl were joined there by <a href="/wiki/Diamond_D" title="Diamond D">Diamond D</a> and <a href="/wiki/DJ_Clark_Kent" title="DJ Clark Kent">Clark Kent</a>, making an impressive roster. "Shock to Bliss" and "Shock Frequency" were reminiscent of Rock's cuts, and almost as good, and Kent's contribution "From the Concrete" completed the album's highlights. The record as a whole betrayed its 1992 roots, though reviewers found this was not a bad thing, even if it did mean that it seemed to lack relevance or urgency in the musical climate of 1998.<sup id="cite_ref-am2_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-am2-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Classic_Bangerz,_The_Signature_of_the_Ill,_and_beyond"><span id="Classic_Bangerz.2C_The_Signature_of_the_Ill.2C_and_beyond"></span><i>Classic Bangerz</i>, <i>The Signature of the Ill</i>, and beyond</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=A.D.O.R.&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Classic Bangerz, The Signature of the Ill, and beyond"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In January 2000, Tru Reign secured a distribution deal with <a href="/wiki/Nile_Rodgers" title="Nile Rodgers">Nile Rodgers</a>' company Sumpthing Distribution.
