shoutouts if you get the reference

Also I was wondering, where did the term 'backpack' come from for music? I know it's been around for a while but never really knew what it meant. I assumed it was more for conscience type of raps?

I'm assuming it was to describe the more unconvential rap acts during the 90s like Company Flow and MF Doom. Probably popularized by publications or groupies.

we already moved on from top 10 lists, so this is something

IrishNinja bullshit

ahahaha i'm an institution now! can't knock the hustle

Less that that. Wasn't the deal .03 cents/album between the entire group?

wait was that really the deal? goddamn that's the rawest one ive seen in a minute, it's amazing what shady shit was pulled in the day

Cali is where I put my mack down.

Maccas right, the Drake infatuation round here makes a lot more sense.

he gets love down here in MIA tho

which is funny cause most people I know wish we could ship him down south.

deal! the honky delegation requests ya'll take Pitbull
"I'm a hustler, baby"

Nobody in gaf-hop on the east coast? VA all day

the problem with MIA is that it's more south than dirty south so it's hard to claim that, we're east coast as hell but like 90 miles from cuba. really ya'll aint fucked with us since booty music but i guess we got Ross going, now that ive come around to dude havin that #summer on lock

when global warming cometh and your state is drowned/wrecked from immigration and shitty governance, you'll be in line to be our neighbors just like everyone else been talking shit about us from the start.

look i know damn well i gotta tell myself whatever property i go in on will be worth tons more when we're new Atlantis but this is still a sad "ya'll cant stay in my bunker when shit pops off" song to sing here

Wu-Tang Forever gonna be song of the year. Gonna cop a nice Malin+Goetz candle for when it drops.

shit's been AOTY since like '97 so i dont see why homage can't carry that


haha ace did you just trapify the peanuts theme? that was nice

Alright. Here's a rough list.

Track (Producer)



Biscayne Bay or Bird on a Wire (Harry Fraud)
I'm God(Clams Casino)
Jack Kerouac (TiRon & Ayomari)
Scottie Pippens (Alchemist)
Between Friends(Flying Lotus)
Airborne Aquarium and Michael Knight (Ski Beatz)
Good looking on all of those. I would add
BBS (Alchemist)
La Petite Mort (Kno)

Goddamn remember Higher by J. Cole? That was a damn good track for the ladies. FNL getting me nostalgic man. Perfect album for being 17 and walking to school still.

I wonder how they felt after they hyped themselves for Kanye's VMA performance and all he did is project his silhouette on a jpeg.

This. It was less to do with conscious rap in general (although it could include that) and more about the underground, non-commercial artists. The term came about because the fanbase was primarily male, and was characterized by folks wearing backpacks, often because they were carrying around notebooks and pens to write raps, blunts and weed, etc etc.

Lots of boots, military apparel, cargo pants, etc etc. Think white college kids doing dorm freestyle sessions about the elements and keepin' shit real, wavin' their rap hands. I don't ever remember it being a publication or groupie thing, just a term that kinda came about organically to describe that particular sub-genre and it's fans.

Bro its part of his "anti marketing campaign" marketing campaign.

As for the significant others liking or disliking rap...my wife straight up listened to hipster music with a little bit of pop sprinkled in here and there.

Then I forced her to listen to rap on our long drives and she has gotten around to a lot of it. She loves most of Kendrick's album, strangely enjoyed ASAP Rocky, and hates hates hates lil Wayne. Not bad overall.

Nah, it's more like "you can stay in the bunker, but there will probably be only the shitty parts of it left".

So I work too damn much and go out too damn often, it's hard to keep up on here. When we have a definite collection of beats for this gaf tape, can someone put them all in one place to make it easier to access? I have one of peter's and two of aces, I'd like to hear as many as I can and try my hand at writing as much as possible for them.

i posted a handful yesterday...

Far as all in one place, someone (myself if needed) could make a dropbox folder with all of them and just post the share link...

mine are .wav format and good to go, so feel free to have at it!

edit.
if someone directs me to the other people's beats, i will add them to my folder and post the share link, i have a 100gb Dropbox plan so i dont mind hosting a bunch of beats....

After listening to N64 a couple of times I don't think Ethelwulf has a project quite this solid.
he doesn't

Wolf Gang's Rodolphe > Strictly 4 My Raiderz tho

Ethelwulf is kinda stupid cause all he does is drop dope songs on youtube/soundcloud but he doesn't use any of them for his tapes

I'm all for becoming hipsters for old hip hop. Rock and pop do it all the damn time.
