Unless you're Gary McCoy, backing it in means rear wheel moving slower than front wheel. You can slow the rear wheel down by abusing engine breaking or by applying rear brake. Slipper clutches limit the "back-torque" you get when downshifting lazily, giving the engine a chance to catch up before the clutch is fully engaged. It's easier to break the rear end loose without a slipper clutch because you've got the full force of that sloppy downshift's engine breaking to slow the rear wheel for you. The downside is that if you over do it you'll lock the back wheel completely, which is a lot less fun. If you do have a slipper clutch you probably have to apply a little rear brake, but again too much brake and you'll lock the rear and have a near-death experience.
