Question For The Back Packers ....
 

Exactly, What The Fuck Do You See In Back Pack Music? To Me All It Is, Is Bunch Of Pussies Crying About Shit . Tell Me What The Fuck Is Actually In It You Can Enjoy... I'd Rather Listen To Jadakiss On Some Head Noddin' Type Tip, Then Sage Francis Talking About Hanging A Patriot Or Some Shit ...

LOL im not a backpacker, but i like hearing people rap about orignal shit sometimes. it gets boring hearing people rap about the same shit over and over.

but i agree with what you said

At first... I was going to write some big long winded explanation that stepped on no toes.

But, I'll say this instead.

Mindless dribble Vs. Mind sparking thoughts. If you want to become a zombie slave to the Umbrella Corporation that IS the Music Industry to do the bidding of the zionic and universal controllers of the world then be my guest. Personally, I'd rather move to Israel then be a slave to the zionists.

backpacker music is the kind of music that makes you think, that means something, that you can relate to, not just the same bullshit being spewed from 100 different people talking about how much money they have and whatever

but listen to what you like, i'll listen to what i like, its all good

i think there is yet to be an artist to completely blend true lyricism with a consistent rythmic beat so until that day we will be forced to take our "samples" frome both worlds

Hypocritical:
Backpackers Moan n' Complain Bout Multi-Platium Artist Speaking About MOney n' Shit - When They Say That Rap Is About The LIfe They Lead, Well That Is The Fuckin Life THey Lead! Alot Of Backpackers No SHit About An Artist History, People Like 50, Who Had A Hard Life Is Now Enjoying it, Can You Blame Him? You'd Do Exactly The Same!

50 Cent May Have Been Underground At One Point But When He Was Underground He Was Still Wack as Fuck. I Don't Know Why But I Like Listening to Music That Actually Challenges My Views n Changes My Perspective On Things, Cause It's That Influential. So How Can I Be Inspired By Music That Goes On About How They Got Money n Women Etc...

Whether It's 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Eminem it All Sounds the Same to Me...

I'ma Backpacker....I guess....:confused: ...haha...but yeah jae like i love to hear a song thats really up beat and commercial and i'll nod my fucken head for sure...as long as the lyrics are half decent...but something commercial sorta thing i will say THAT WAS DOPE but i won't sit there and say....that is a GREAT piece of music like eternally ill...i just like to have meaning in music...like to get some meaning..something out of the music...i still continue to do some commercial type shit coz i enjoy it but i would much rather prefer create a meaningful piece of music...But i respect one to his own...the only thing i HATE about commercial music is with people that just have ridiculous lyrics...mainstream answers that...Mmmmm...So Yeah...I just like to get real meaning and feeling from music.....:D......

If one Of Your "Precious" Underground Rappers Went Mainstream, Would You Still Listen To Them?

Cos Lotta Poeple Hating, 50, Obie Etc.. Now?

^ IF people like Aceyalone, Non Phixion, Tame One Had The Same Type Of Lyrics And Beats, I Could Care Less If They Were Mainstream Or Underground, Its Those That Make Me Listen To Them, Not The Fact Their Underground, Its The Way They Word Certain Things, The Use Of Multi's, The Internals, The Things They Say That I can Relate To, The Lyrics That Are Thought Proviking, Thats Why I Listen To Them, If They Were Doing The Same Thing But Commercially, Id Still Listen. .

I don't really care for defining. But it's there.

I listen to both. But they don't 'whine' that much more than the other artists. It's just some people don't like to think as much when listening to music. People like Aesop Rock and Sage Francis do.

And so those who don't like thinking that 'hard', will see it as more whining.

Something like that. But it is what it is. I do agree that 'backpackers' can be overly pretentious. When they got little right to be.

Hiero And LL Are Backpacker Crews....And I Don't See Them Pissing And Moaning About Shit....I'd Rather Listen To Knowledge Offbeat, Than Idiots Babbling Bout How Much Money They Make Anyday

**Sings Along With 'FYIB'**

.....Let me confess somethig first, I'm a recovering backpacker

I was into that sceen back around 97,98, 99. During the Master P, Bad Boy era and I wasn't into that shit at all. Around that time that Mos Def, Talib, Common, Eminem, Canibus, even Wu-Tang in some regards where concidered 'backpack' becase they were agiast the norm and had lyrics. But that whole era done past and it was like a phase, most of the artist I mentioned ain't into that no more and I just grew out of that shit. After those guys left it started to get corney than a mu'fucka, just pussyfied with a whole buncha nerds babling on. And musicly that shit had no type of rhythem or bounce to it and was just boring. And after people like Jay-Z started to come to the forfront and the mainstream guys startd to get right with the lyrics it started to get better..I can't fuck with that backpack shit no more.

word to n-demik.
im a backpacker.
