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.

Wait wait wait I thought College Dropout era’s Kayne, and Blackstar was considered Backpack rap.
Kanye was backpack rap in 96
When he was actually a big name, 8 years later with Through the Wire - he was mainstream.

'Backpack Rap' didn't die.
It became mainstream.
See Wu Tang Clan.

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.

Yup
But breh, you were the first reply. You did not have to quote my long ass OP
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.
