Backpack Rap

[troubleman]

They Bay has always had a good "backpack" (not my word) rap scene. Are there any "backpack" rappers that will benefit from the attention that the bay is getting. If so, who? Are there any that both "backpackers" and hyphy cats would like.

Casual isn't backpack rap, but his crew sometimes is considered that.

It is more of a negative term.

BlackStar-Mos Def Talib Kweli probably all of Rawkus Records except Kool G.Rap.
MF Doom
Cage
Atmosphere
Kool Keith
Del
Souls Of Mischief

I would say sometimes "conscious rap" is called "backpack rap", even Kool Keith & MF Doom are called "Backpack Rap", but they are more abstract.

Basically Not commercial & Not Gangster Rap.

 

[dayday6]

They can call them backpack rappers all they want, but those dudes I mentioned above will roast your favorite rapper.

 

[HiT-2-TiMeS]
