Gambino’s clothing style is what some would consider “all white” (short shorts, small tees) like the cast of all the shows on the network CW, like 90210, Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, etc.

Another double entendre by Rocky. On one hand it means his rap career is about to blow up like a Bin Laden who represents suicidal terrorists. On the other it means that he smokes the Bin Laden weed which is potent weed. Afghanistan was exploding as the number one exporter of marijuana around this time. (much like Three 6 Mafia).

A backpacker is based on a fashion style popular in the mid to late 90s where people involved in hip-hop wore large backpacks. Originated by Graffiti writers who kept all their cans in backpacks, the style caught on quick with the suburbanites and rock kids who didn’t want to stray too far from their style but still wanted to have a hip-hop flavor.
People use it now as a derogatory term for nerd-rappers, hippy-hoppers, and other fringe hip-hop followers, referencing the fact most of the listeners are suburbanites buying or co-opting into a certain style.
This song is Donald’s take on an anti-hater track. The backpackers are the haters leaving the camp while the campers are his fans. Now that Donald has buzz his haters feel lost and start looking out for ‘bino again.
