anti-backpacker n. Goldenchild is different from your anti-backpacker or whatever the fuck you wanna call it. He has an open mind. He’s heard the underground hip-hop but he likes jay-z and shit like that more. [English Hip-Hop Music Slang] [full cite] (May. 18, 2006)

backpack rap n. I think that’s already happening in the form of what Stretch Armstrong disdainfully calls “backpack rap”—emphasis on lyrics and/or bugged production, with head-nodding a low priority. unfortunately, this kind of synthetic genre is almost always defined by target demographic, not intenral resemblance.

backpacker n. There are a lot of places that we still didn’t get to in the video—Arkansas, Kentucky. And there is a big “backpacker” (or alternative) hip-hop scene that we didn’t get to.

backpacker n. I use the term when decribing either a trendy only independent loving hip-hop kid…you usually see them at concerts with backpacks on or the college hip-hop kid who wears a backpack out of necessity…they too often are on the independent/underground tip…these 2 often are one in the same. another “backpacker” i can think of is the urban youth who are strictly public transportation, sporting the walkman listening to hip-hop.

backpacker n.

backpacker n. Company Flow first crashed into our lives in 1995.…We were dumb enough to think that Rawkus could be bold, new avatars of the hip hop revolution.
