@9thwonder
Scott Storch and Mannie Fresh have made classic records that don’t contain samples. Cherry picking the ones where they sampled isn’t proving any points lol. They are not dependent on samples in order to make music. “Lean back”- no samples, “Ha” no samples.

Define “backpack”…
If we are gonna do this….lets have a REAL convo about what that word is, who called it that, who made that term up, and how people just say it to categorize rappers.
@9thwonder
First, love your production, legend! Second, Mos Def's music tends to be a bit more backpack/boom bat esque than Drake's. When music is in that lane, it is deemed by backpackers and those who gatekeep the genre as more substantive than mainstream/popular rap.
