They Bay has always had a good "backpack" (not my word) rap scene. Are there any "backpack" rappers that will benefit from the attention that the bay is getting. If so, who? Are there any that both "backpackers" and hyphy cats would like.

notice the "quotes" he isn't calling them "backpackers" he's just referring to what others might call them.

I guarantee backpackers ain't fucking with Hyphy music period, they are two different scenes. If it was going to happen, it would of happened with "Smash Rockwell". The backpackers ain't fucking with it, because Casual was the most Turfed out dude in Heiroglyphics. The Hyphy cats are saying that Casual is just trying to cash in on the Hyphy movement.

In the end everybody is sleeping on dudes album, it is a damn shame too because the CD is solid.

wtf? so hip hop is called backpack rap now? off top all them zion-i, souls of mischief, heiro, living legends, dj shadow, jurassic 5, alkoholics, the grouch, aceyalone, digable planets, etc. is some HIP HOP RAPPERS!!!! a type of rap that uses big sophisticated words with lyrics that are always positive and contains some kinda subliminal message. yet sometimes they don't even rap, they spit poetry and blend in some scratching and all that. bottom line is, them rappers live in fantasy like they some modern day hippies and oreo's, black on the outside but white in the inside. mane ya'll really ain't even knowin. but either way, that ain't my scene and i only mess wid that treal gangsta shit out the bay

gangsta rap is gangsta rap, pop rap is pop rap, this music that they're makin is hip-hops soundtrack. thats why when u see a real documentry on hip-hop (besides these ugly mtv ones) u gonna hear them playin that real rap. they use dj's, they got breakers breakin to it, and almost erry tagger i've seen listens to this...thats all 4 elements of hip-hop in one. they have real love for the music, culture and the art form, most gangsta rappers couldn't even tell u about hip-hop
