When you talk about music, a backbeat means placing rythmic stress on the second and fourth beats of a measure. This means emphasizing the even beats in 4/4 time, while the first and third beats (the odd beats) are less weighted. A backbeat may go something like this: 1 2 3 4.
A nice sample is: Fats Domino "Ain't That a Shame"

Vocal back phrasing is when a singer intentionally sings off tempo by singing before, (or after), the beat. One modern singer who is well known for his use of this method is Willie Nelson, so listening to his music can familiarize you with vocal back phrasing. Back phrasing can also be performed instrumentally. In this case, you play the notes a beat or two later than they are written.
