MP3: Big Boi – Follow Us
Pat Duffy, formerly of Pop Tarts Suck Toasted (RIP), checks in for us! Every year the Pitchfork Music Fest tries hard to incorporate hip-hop into its lineup, and this year was no different. Acts like El-P, Raekwon and Major Lazer all drew huge crowds and got people dancing throughout the weekend, but there was no doubt that everyone was waiting for just one hip hop artist – Big Boi. Half of the famed Outkast, Big Boi has won over the hipster audience with his new solo debut complete with some of the best singles of the year. So it was only fitting that he’d be the final hip hopper to take the stage and the second to last band to play the fest. Right from the start you could see people were ready for this set. As Big Boi took the stage people went nuts and would not stop going nuts throughout his hour long set. Everyone expected to hear the tunes off the new record, Sir Lucious Left Foot, what we did not expect was Big Boi to pull out Outkast classics during his set. Yet alongside songs like “Shutterbug” and “Shine Blockas” were the Big Boi verses from songs like “Ms. Jackson”, “B.O.B.”, and “So Fresh, So Clean”. Those tunes got everyone dancing, but really people were dancing regardless. Big Boi was magnetic on stage, no one could look away, even the folks camped out waiting for Pavement were dancing or bopping their heads along to every song. It was, save for LCD’s performance, the set of the fest – a mind blowing, exciting, frenzy of songs we could sing-a-long with & dance along to as well. SPTR: 9.0.
