Now an immigrant from Yugoslavia can have a deep discussion with someone from Brooklyn on what the Def Squad meant to Hip Hop in the 90's An album like Endtroducing is never going to be mentioned on TV yet through the net people can learn to appreciate it Yeah it's also spawned these "purist" faggots Motherfuckers who never grew up around it just preach that "nah he isn't keeping it real, he sold out" "he isn't complex enough" like yo.. simplicity itself is a skill if used correctly They dismiss anything that's mainstream lol It's annoying, and then you got other folks who call everything backpack rap when the clear definition of "backpack" isn't defined Back in the day Black Moon's Enta Da Stage and 36 Chambers was considered backpack rap, but these are definite classics today and no one calls you a backpacker for bumping wu tang or black mooon Then you got people who call MF Doom's music backpacker Then you got people who call Talib Kweli backpack rapper which leads me to the conclusion Backpack Rap doesn't exist fuck ya'll who keep tossing that term around

Miles Davis faced severe criticism in the 60's and 70's for embracing the fusion jazz movement which incorporated electric guitar solos. 50 years later jazz purists today are dying to hear something similar. The problem lies within the balance of lack thereof in entertainment. I can see how a person would be frustrated when you get behind a B.O.B., a J Cole, or a Drake, and the LP is completely different from what you came to support them as an artist for in the 1st place.
