@theHonorable where is your honor?
I dont like how Trill and Backpack Rap is used in the same statement
Something jus aint right -
before you lay down any raps get a baseball bat and bust up da studio!

LOL the term back pack rap is so hilarious because nobody in the underground ever called themselves that
Ppl who wore back packs in the 90's wore them for different reasons, some ppl went to school and others had drugs, guns,knives, and liquor in those back packs,or both.Some ? was homeless living out those back packs
if you mean traditional hip hop then the truth is it was never the money maker it was the essence and poppy catchy rap always sold, it was just more talent in mainstream rap, but it was understood that talent was the backbone of hip hop/rap -
Kendrick Lamar and B.O.B are the last offical backpack rappers. thank ? .

Like I hear you but half way through this post I fell asleep. -

Dont associate Kendrick with that Backpack Rap ? and Ill see B.O.B at Kmart soon enough. -
I listened to backpack rap in the 90s. It was basically, Boot Camp Click, Wu-Tang and D.I.T.C. Each of those crews had members that were popping out solo albums. Truth be told the albums weren't really polished but it had that gritty sound that was kinda the opposite of what Death Row and Bad Boy were doing at the time.
The last real "backpack" movement was Rawkus Records in the late 90s. Mos Def and Talib Kweli were the bigger, more well known artists on Rawus but if you do a google search, there were alot more groups on Rawkus that, for whatever reeason, never released full length albums.
But Rawkus did release some classic compilations like Soundbombing 1, 2 and 3 and the Lyricist Lounge albums. -

Everyone of those groups outside of mos def and Talib out here serving up mixtapes on the L train and I am putting an end to it today. -
I know because there are so many threads about backpack rappers on here. Thats why all the posts about sean price, kweli, etc. do numbers and no one on the IC talks about ? like j.cole who just went gold in a month. Y'all ? are more obsessed with backpack rap than the actual fans are. That ? rarely gets talked about on here

Lmao @ a dude who has a club banger on the radio called "we still in this ? " and a rapper who made songs like "money trees" and "m.a.a.d city" being backpack rappers. You ? hate really clouds your judgement, ? idiots -
I feel like this thread made someone squeeze they kufi in anger.
-
Jcole wale and a lot of other cats right now are basically back rap to IMO.
But yeah rappers over 40 need to quit if they ain't seeing no bread already. -
Can somebody please define what "back pack rap" is without a proper meaning this thread makes no sense.
Nas and wu-tang basically made gangsta/crime music the same goes for boot camp . Mos def,common and talib's subject matter are vastly different compared to them. B.O.B is a pop-artist in the same school that black eyed peas comes from and kendrick sounds more like nas.

There is no proper meaning to backpack rap because it doesn't exist
-
K Mart tho? Lol them ? is getting closed down nationwide.

This thread is ? stupid.
