I just want a show of hands that feel these cats from Oakland....They are on a different level then the rest of the other hip hop that Ive heard, even though they are abstract in a way I think they are sick ass fuck
backpack shit does nothing for me personally...But I give those cats their props cause they hustle their asses off COMPLETELY independantly...Alot of artists could learn a thing or two from em...
That term isnt used to offend anyone...to me it's like sayin "gangsta rap"
Backpack shit to me is music that primarily targets the skater and college crowd...I mean I like some of it...My boy I.D. is a major cat in the game with that kinda shit an he lets me hear some stuff like The Gingerbread Man that's fuckin hilarious...
But also alot of backpack stuff I've heard is cats just rhymin big words over beats that sound like silverware bein thrown down the stairs...
Once again this is a generalization so please no one get their pussy hurt over this...I hate alot of "gangsta" shit too...If it's dope it's dope...PERIOD
sef died but sach got a new album out an the term back- packer had to do with the cats that would battle they would keep there rhymes or rap books in there backpack
