backpackers are mad at dudes like jay z because they can't make a project that would appeal to the masses like jay can
they are forever destined to have a small minority of fans
its like if one dude was a painter, who painted everything super realistic and technical. and then another guy is a painter, who doesnt go as indepth in the realism of it, but makes a more visually appealing painting.
the guy with the more visually appealing painting is gonna sell more paintings. the dude who put all his time and energy into painting a picture of a building that looks like a photo gets butthurt. he looks at this other simple painting thats outselling him, and he's like wtf, anyone can do that.
but anyone can't. because if he tried to do that he would fail.
the same way jay z would fail if he tried to put out a talib kweli album
