Rap, whose market is primarily white, young, and of affluent parents.
Most fans might prefer this rap to more hardcore, gangsta rap because it seems to be conscious of social issues, and ignores popular mainstream topics (such as blunts, 40s, and bitches).
What most fans fail to realize is that this rap will most likely never go down in history. The true innovators in rap are appreciated by the masses, because they made a difference.
These men include Biggie, Tupac, The Wu-Tang Clan, and early Nas.
These men transcended the stupid backpack that antagonizes their words, and the legacy they left behind. The told stories, used unique musical inflections, and showed people the many sides and complexities of the hood, and the people within it.
Backpack rappers often justify their music with overly artsy beats, and flows that just...well, aren't happening...at least not nearly on the level of those mentioned above.
Biggie is the modern day Beethoven -> narrating almost as a third person observer. a dual character...like tupac
ODB is like T.Monk, Stravinsky or even Jackson Pollack. He destroys boundaries with a pseudo-operatic style, all the while being aware of the lines he is crossing.
Read about these men...and their backgrounds.
I'm going to shut up now...Backpack rapping often seeks to rebel for rebellion's sake. It is most often very cheesy, and few, if any backpack rappers will go down in history.

Get the black jack mug.Related Words
Technically an NHL hockey team. Also part of the original six. Actually the Blackhawks play some of the worst hockey in the league. They have only clinched a playoff spot once in the last eight years. Honestly, they're so embarassing that half of Chicago prefers to pretend the team does not exist. Their last Stanley Cup goes back to 1961. It's hard to imagine this team getting good again. What makes a lot of people feel sad for this team is obviously the fact that they're part of the original six.
The Chicago Blackhawks have the worst power play in the NHL. A season of 25 wins qualifies as a decent season for them. The Detroit Red Wings really like playing against the Hawks. Free points are always nice.

Get the chicago blackhawks mug.The one thing in the word that can single-handedly ruin your ass viewing experience (especially when they are wearing yoga pants).
"Dude, its that one girl with the nice ass that you were talking about. Oh crap she's wearing a backpack, nevermind."

Get the Backpack mug.It used to mean someone who carried mixtapes in his backpack but now white suburban kids call themselves backpackers. And they're basically just people who keep whining about they want hip hop to go back to the way it was before because they dont fit into the whole "party scene" yet they are completely oblivious to the fact that hip hop was created from block parties. They also listen to a lot old skool hip hop like Public Enemy which is really weird since PE music was mostly about black rights and freedom.
Basically they are now just sad white suburban kids who dont fit into the hip hop culture want to fit in so bad that they try to re-arrange it to suit their own needs. They're just as bad as all the stupid gangsta 50 cent shit that is out right now. If you truly wanna be hip hop, then just BE. Stop tainting it with your stupid shit.
