The OG concept of a backpacker is more Black Moon than Black Star

Wasnt no conscious talk, them nikkas had backpacks cause they needed somewhere to store the stuff they robbed off you. A few of them like the crew from Duck Down became rappers and some cats got it confused and thought it was supposed to be synonymous with underground music.

I always considered backpack rap to be conscious underground incense burning brehs (and sistas) who wear multi-layers of clothes and knows hip hop history like a human encyclopedia.

However, reading the posts about the origins coming from more of a street nikka background definitely puts a different spin on it for me. At the end of the day either way you look at it, that list is more flawed than not.

:yeshrug: I mean maybe at one point some of them were, but now, hell no. And anyone on Rawkus, I’m sure would be considered backpack, that was their whole get up.
