Fergie might as well put out a solo album since she IS the Black Eyed Peas. Before she joined them, the Black Eyed Peas were no-name backpack rappers.

UUUMM Fergie already basically has 2 albums under her belt and she could sang her ass off..

remember WILD ORCHID..anyone

"Backpacker" Hip Hop refers to a particular brand of underground Hip-Hop which is so-named because of its backpack-sporting listeners. Backpackers are stereotypically white, educated, liberal elitists who desire hip hop to be free of all "materialism" and filled with intelligent lyrics which tell of the actual experiences of a struggling rapper, not of (from urbandictionary.com), "pimping hoes/having millions/selling immense ammounts of drugs/murdering random people for no apparent reason or motive." As a result backpackers deride and berate popular MTV/BET artists seen as sellouts, and slaves to a fake image perpetuated by a consumer-driven corporate culture of dis-information. A strong liberal message must be present at all times, hence the term Conscious Hip Hop.

Rappers like Mos Def, Common and Talib Kweli are considered backpack rappers; Rawkus Records were full of backpack acts, and Eminem during his Infinite-era in '96 was backpacking. Kanye West, on the other hand, is trying to the be a backpack rapper.

Can't see beyond your nose, eh? #1 now; history tommorrow. The BEP went from a fairly decent underground hip-hop act to instant pop fluff - just add blonde hair & green eyes. As I said before on here, they were used as a vehicle to boost Fergie, or as they say "Give her street cred". She needed something to seperate her from Christina, Gwen and Joss and every other chick singing pop R&B. Her solo CD will probably do well but the BEP that did "Joints & Jams" will never recover from "My Humps". Watch and see. Will I Am may as well go solo and ride the wave while he can before its too late for him, too.
