backpacker
n.— «If you wanna battle, nerdy-ass backpacker style and see who can throw out the most obscure, old-school, underground, unheard of ass joints then step right up son, you will lose quick, fast in a hurry. I know it taxes your underpowered brain to come up with terms like “true head” but that shit is weak… you’re trying to make yourself out to be some bad-ass backpacker, “cuz you can throw out a few names that maybe someone who listens to Master P and Mase hasn’t heard of.» —“Re: A classic situation” by “Kazuya” kazuya_4@hotmail.com Usenet: alt.rap May 19, 2000.
