Now this dweeb tryin to change the definition of backpacker

 

[BobbyWojak]

Yall really buy that "I'm a street nikka" line.

Nah, street nikka nikkas got you wet in the 2000s. Like the average college aged Becky, in the 2000s. I grew up around white girls like Kanya

Kanye is too big to fail. I'm actually from NY and if I fronted on brooklyn like that my own friends would whoop my ass.

 

[AngryBaby]

Back packer? Whats that mean lol

 

[Will Ross]

Kanye never came across as a backpack rapper
To me he was the first suburban rapper

Didn't Kanye produce an entire album for Common (King of the Backpackers)?

 

[Another Man]

So now we pretending like Kanye had some god tier level flow?

Like Jay Z told him back in like 2001... Kanye aint really a rapper.

Dude's production is what folks like. Now THAT is god tier production. Then he just happens to rap over that.

I always thought this was agreed upon in hip hop.

This. Folks trying to front like theyve been checking for Kanyes verses now

The only mainstream rappers to *actually* turn away from the streets to make conscious "backpack" music were Lupe Fiasco, Black Thought, and Common. Kanye was never a street nikka
