Title: How 2 tell hes a Backpacker
Post by: A pimp named Sarkozy on May 29, 2008, 11:46:41 AM
Add yo own too ;D

1.Hate Lupe Fiasco and 50 cent pa**ionately
2.Hate Party or Jiggy Tracks
3.Hate Every Rapper from ATL and The South except Scarface,Outkast/or UGK
4.Hate Bapes and other fruity colourful clothes
5.Hate most music/album that came after the year 2000
6.Hate Airforces ;D

How to handle a Backpacker:TIPS

Those who have encountered such hip hop righteousness know not to get into any sort of "philosophical argument"
They never ever back down and make you feel like shit for copping the new Kanye west or Rick Ross album.  So how exactly does one prepare for such an encounter with a backpacker?

1.Let him or her take a couple of easy jabs at you.  Make them feel like they’re winning.

2.When they ask you what kind of music you listen to? say 50 Cent.At this point they’ll think you’re an easy target

3.Then go on the offensive.  Remind ‘em that the self proclaimed cats with a Benz AND a backpack” makes beats for both Jay-Z and Common.

4.Once their guard is down, break bread.  Remind them that hip hop was never meant to be stagnant or one-dimensional

5.Back-Slap-A-Back-Packer then walk away whistling.

There are no more backpackers heads. Motherf***ers got laptops now. And the way you lump them all together is just plain silly ;D

Airforces suck. Everything post 2000 was awful. That includes Little Brother - they didn't fall off because they were never on in the first place. Cee-Lo is whiny. Supastition is crap. I hate party music. I hate ba**lines. f*** you all. I hate all y'all.

That would explain why I always have a backpack and headphones on.

I can tolerate Lupe though and I do like some more of the southern rappers than the ones mentioned. Just cant stand the crunk cats.

NEVER!!!

Backpackers have no use for money. They live off hip-hop alone. All capitalism is evil and rappers should give out their CDs for free.

MrC you fail. Hand back your backpack.

Comment from a Recovering Back packpacker who has seen the light.

"the point is underground (real underground not g-unit radio mixtapes...remember freestyles are:off the top, not a memorized rhyme you put to someone elses beat).Underground is where the four elements still exist like it or not,(graffiti,emcee,dj,breakin..i get the feeling a few people may not remember either way as time went on slowly i began listenin to mainstream rap again, old 50 and lloyd banks shit was one of the things that brought me back though it's become repetative at best nowadays, i can bump some dirty south shit, i think its hilarious as long as you take it for wut it is, is it art? ... hardly, but is it suppposed to be ... i doubt it, but the real question is, is it entertaing? and the answer is yes, very, the point is backpacker was a ridiculous term in the first place it was created by the industry to keep us apart and guess what.. it worked.. the fact that we're arguin about all this is exactly the problem, not white kids goin to shows, not whether backpackers exist anymore, we should be gettin together and tryin to take back hip hop but that'll never happen as long as people think aesop's better then lloyd banks or that lil wayne is better then anyone...some people got skills some just don't and until that's admitted by both sides this will continue."

What do you call a girl who
1.Knows what hemp is,
2.Wears silver rings.
3.Hate's long skirts.
4.Can prolly sorts and crushes weed better then most niggers.
5.Loves heals especially if they are eight inch and they expose the ankle
6.Hates dirty sling over bags
7.Doesn't smoke weed or ciggy
8.Writes poetry but none of that "mother earth, women stand up for yourself" bull shit.
9.Doesn't eat meat but eats fish (only because she doesn't want to be fat. Aint got shit to do with no religion, nature balance or any of that crap.)

Must admit though you hit the nail right on the head....

What if shes smart,intelligent,graduated Masters in Finance,owns a big house,wears lots of bling,dispises HOES who hate on her for balling and loves GOLD,Sippin Moet,listening to G Unit n Souljah Boy,hittin the club and socialising.

Wudnt that be a smart ,black woman too.What if gettin money n bling is where her hearts at! does that make her any different from yall!?

I think we jus need to embrace all people from all walks of life.
This is the attitude that leads to things like Xenophobia. A lack of tolerance for another person because their values are foreign to urs.

Real backpackers know all the MCs u never heard of, with "deep" names like

1.Extrapolate
2.Futureristics Elastoplast

3.Again I heard they talk "Ebonics" and refer to themselves as "heads" and call people they dont like "suckka niggas" ba**ically= any unpleasant word+nigga at the end. It doesnt matter if they are in Chiawelo or Mabopane...afterall they r all "dope niggas"

4. Although South African....they never listned or danced 2 Mdu Author and MaWillies' music back in the days....."that music is not for intelligent ppl"

5. When we were in creche(kindergarden)...."they were doing calculus with extraterrestials" ::)

1.Backpackers have/had Wu Tang Forever poster on their walls ;D

2.Always nod their heads during a freestyle or ciphering circle regardles how wack or off beat the rapper is(dont forget to give them a pound and tell them how dope they were)

3.U got to wear shirts with shity a** designs and stupid faces that only you and the designer think is dope.

4.Hate any beat with Ba**(backpackers r funny)

5.The Less sense a rapper makes the DOPER he is..on that Biochemical equation. in fact the best thing ever would be if Canibus sat in a vocal booth with Madlib and rapped out the ENTIRE Dictionary edition b4 1996 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ya'll know them niggas that I'm talkin bout
The ones that ya'll be seeing at the coffee house
Soon as they get the mic I start walkin out
And swear that they skill the most talked about
It's time to bring the emcees on, I'm sick of niggas lookin
Bitch trying to read poems
and try to battle me with sandals and capries on? come on dog
I'm about to get hyped with this, shed some light to this
So called black righteousness
Even though ya'll niggas might not cuss like me
At the end of the night ya'll just trying to f*** like me
So what's the reason for the hating, niggas with dreads
Calling they self gods with white girls named Caitlin
And I'm cool with interracial dating, but I aint about
To hear no f***ing speeches cause I wanna have some bacon
I rock and swerve, that's why I cant f*** with
Coffee houses man, get on my god damn nerves
And deep down ya'll know that I'm right,
man shit I'm bout to kick some Trick Daddy next poetry night like
My black queen...Don't know n'an nigga!
- Phonte on Little Brother, 'The Yo-Yo'

Backpackers are the ones who stand nodding their heads when their boy steps up at an open mic with a piece of paper to recite a really long, really, really bad poem. You know the ones that go like: "My black queen! My revolutionary soldiers! I feel solidarity with Haile Sela**ie's second cousin twice removed, once for tax purposes!"

I used to host an open mic in Grahamstown. It f***ing died a death, mostly thanks to lots of awful, awful poets and their entourage of backpack-rocking, incomprehensible-rhyme-spitting buddies. It was a pity, because some decent rappers came through too.

I'm a backpacker. But I still wanna crack a backpacker back.

You know the ones that go like: "My black queen! My revolutionary soldiers! I feel solidarity with Haile Sela**ie's second cousin twice removed, once for tax purposes!"

^^^ LMAO

Sounds like one of those poetry sessions at Zula. Sister in long skirts and sling bag with their  long poems and they all seem to be about abusive husbands or how to be a proud African.
"My African sister. My rock. Stand proud and strong"


or they be on some:

Africa (echo) africa, africa, africa
is my heart (echo) my heart, my heart, my heart


and you thinkin, wen the hell u gon get to the end of the damnpoem??? ??? ;D
