Starting today, there is a new Pitchfork subscription that costs $5 a month, which allows readers to score albums themselves, comment on our reviews, and be in dialogue with our critics and each other. (Can’t decide if an album is a 6.8 or a 7.2? Read our new Scoring Guidelines here.)

Once a review has more than five scores, the aggregate reader score will appear beneath Pitchfork’s score on the review. We still believe in the authority and, to be honest, the primacy of Pitchfork’s taste—but we want to publish our readers’ taste and opinions, too. The comments section will be moderated by our editors and adhere to our new Community Guidelines. Subscribers will also have access to Pitchfork’s full review archive, which now contains over 30,000 reviews.

For non-subscribers, the News, Features, and Columns sections of the site will continue to be free. And casual readers can continue to read four free reviews per month. But to read unlimited reviews, see the reader scores, and comment yourself or read the comments of others, you’ll have to smash subscribe.

“Album of the year? In April? Please…ya’ll are trippin.’”

Turns out the ’90s rap internet looks a whole lot like the current rap internet. The biggest takeaway from my research, however, was that post-Illmatic there was a lot of animosity towards Nas. On one random forum in ’97 about Wu-Tang, someone randomly added “PS. Nas was good when he was Nasty Nas… too bad he’s Nas Escobar now.” In this debate from ’97, people really seemed to believe he had sold out.

they didn’t have goddamn MP3s and people hated Nas, literally the opposite of 2015. Even back then, the tired, played out, “hip-hop these days sucks” arc was still rampant.

Take a look at this one entitled, “I hate 90% of today’s rap”:

I hate royal flush
I hate the hilfiguzzzzzzz
I hate mobb deep
I hate non Phixion

It’s strange to hear someone from an era we put on a pedestal claim that era was horseshit. To hear him say Mobb Deep—an act modern day hip-hop heads cling to—is killing hip-hop puts my brain into a pretzel.
