Chance wasn’t the only hometown rapper on Sunday’s bill. Freddie Gibbs is from Gary, Indiana, right across the state line, and it was great to see him leading his entire extended family throughout the backstage area. His set at Pitchfork united him with his Piñata partner, the great underground rap producer Madlib, but Madlib didn’t do anything that any other DJ couldn’t have done. Instead, this was very much a Gibbs show, with Gibbs alternating between nastily funny stage patter and absolute gruff authority when he was actually rapping. Gibbs is a hard and precise live rapper. He’s a street-rapper who would probably prefer a street-rap context rather than a rock-festival one. But given that rock festivals are basically where he lives now, I’m happy to report that he just beasts the fuck out of them.
