Pusha T

11. Pusha T

The full Clipse would be ideal, performing Hell Hath No Fury, of course, but King Push is fine by himself, thanks. The Virginia coke-game chronicler released one of the best rap records of 2013, My Name Is My Name, a steely and futuristic banger that bettered Yeezus. Though we're not saying his stage peformance will match that face-melting Yeezus Tour

11 must-see acts at Pitchfork Music Festival 2014

These are the bands, singers and MCs we most want to watch at this year's hip-hop-heavy fest in Union Park

What is this, Rock the Bells? The 2014 edition of the Pitchfork Music Festival has a decidedly hip-hop flavor. That's fine by us. Some of our fondest memories in Union Park are of watching Pharoahe Monch, Big Boi and R. Kelly (you don't think he's hip-hop? You tell him that). Rap carries this idiotic stigma of being a bad festival option. People who say that have never tried to stand in a dusty baseball infield and watch a guy tap a laptop. MCs always own P4K Fest, and this year is rich with 'em. We didn't even have room for the always entertaining Danny Brown and Earl Sweatshirt. Not to mention DJ Rashad and Hudson Mohawke, who are effectively hip-hop beatmakers. Without further ado, here are the acts we will line up to see July 18–20.
