Alternative hip hop (also known as alternative rap) is a sub-genre of hip hop music that is defined in greatly varying ways. Allmusic defines it as Hip-Hop groups that refuse to conform to any of the traditional stereotypes of rap, such as gangsta, bass, hardcore, and party rap. Instead, they blur genres--drawing equally from funk and pop/rock, as well as jazz, soul, reggae, and even folk. In some circles known as "backpack rap", "hipster hip-hop", or "rap for people that don't like rap," which is kind of an insult to the actual artist.
