In case you want a primer on the latest Musician Vs. Critic squabble—this time, it’s the Clipse, taking umbrage with Tom Breihan’s 7.6 writeup of the duo’s new mixtape Road To Till The Casket Drops—here’s one that sums up the whole kerfuffle better than I could. Although I have a question: Has any artist who’s received a ‘Fork review with a rating higher than 7.6 issued a public statement repudiating said write-up? (And yeah, they seem to be peeved about specific aspects of Breihan’s review, but titling their blog post “7.6???????!!!!!!!” would insinuate that unhappiness over being exiled from Best New Music-land is part of the reason they’re peeved.)
