epi said:haha but whats a backpacker?
lol...normally that's a term used to define the kind of hiphop head, who is really about all the elements of hiphop, instead of just the music making ones
normally they tend to listen to people like:
Kool Keith
Sir Menalik
Cipha Complete
Freestyle Fellowship (before they broke up)
Company Flow
Weathermen (El-P, Cage, Copywrite, Vast Aire)
mainly artists, who were more about using and showcasing their lyrical skills while ignoring the street aspect of the music, and often referred to as "Nerd-Rap"
