Post your favorite 2000s-early 2010s Backpack rap tapes or albums. I personally haven't really listened to a lot of music outside of my playlists in a year so getting back into backpack rap nowadays was nostalgic with each project being hard in its own right in regards to being emotionally relatable, fantastic production, and witty lines.

If you're new to Backpack Rap, I encourage y'all to check out the projects mentioned in this thread since I think checking out new styles and genres is always dope and you might find your new favorite song.

Charles Hamilton - Pink Lavalamp (One of the greatest mixtapes from the 2000s in my mind.)

Blu - Below the Heavens

Kanye - College Dropout, Late Registration & Graduation (C'mon now, y'all thought I'd forget these?)
