What is with this phenomenon where middle class, cartoon watching, video game playing, tech literate, nerdy white guys absolutely fucking worship this dude, but no other demographic cares about him at all, not even hood blacks?

He was clearly autistic.

You wouldn't get it unless you smoked fat amounts of hydroponic ocean grown dank with Madlib while spinning and sampling rare Afro Cuban jazz cuts for hours on end while DOOM watches Futurama on the hotel RCA CRT
It's an essence beyond your time and space continuum
The guy who thinks he's into hip hop like that only listens to Sabrina Carpenter and 6ix9ine

Because all the nerdy white guys in here know what all the hood blacks are listening to. He was plenty popular with black people, you can hear his influence in a lot of black rappers like Tyler easily

What the fuck is the point of saying this? They don't listen to MF Doom, and it's not hard to find out what they do listen to.
And Tyler is another example of a rapper mostly listened to by white people, and isn't even remotely "hood" you fucking clown.

It's how hip hop has functioned since the turn of the millennium. He's a bit different and that just amplifies the effect
>>
What, you must stay around a lot of mayos. Blerds blast this every day. Niggas don't like him because his songs are Anti-hood culture, Also thanks to 90-00s adult swim exposing people to alt/Underground hiphop.
>>
>>128075458

You just think this because you never get out of the house and or talk to people who aren't nerdy white guys. MF Doom is popular with a ton of different demographics
>>
>>128075458
Rare actual thread ITT.
Idk, DOOM has to be one of the most overrated artists of all time (his songs say absolutely nothing, zill, zero, 0; they are just empty rhymes of high complexity). This dude was essentially a white nerd trapped inside the body of a fat black man, but there are still some black guys that fuck with his music. I think it's pretty much not even hip hop in spirit; it's more similar to something like Talking Heads in how it feels.

Its really because of Adult Swim Nostalgia like alot of others have said, but his beats are genuinely some of the best hip hop instrumentation of all time, like the Prince to JDillas Michael. What they were able to do within their soundscape is generally seen as special no matter how off base his rhymestyle is in comparison.

An acquired taste but an important one as far as Hip Hop goes. entire underground platforms like Soundcloud owe their existence to this man as far as what he was able to do for alternative Hip Hop. Remember All Caps when you spell the man name.

spot on

Madlib is most likely autistic as well. I keep waiting for him to announce he's been diagnosed.

That's all of artsy/experimental hip-hop

Based nigga picked a comic villain moniker, wears the mask of said character too. Based nigga eats cereal.

Retarded take. (maybe) this works for Madvillainy, but everything else from Doom's catalog falls pretty in line with the classic conventions of ny hip hop. He was in essence an 80s hiphop oldfag who managed to carve himself a tiny spot of relevance going into the 2000s because at that point he was the only one who still played in the hipiddy hoppidy lyrical miracle ballpark, which made him stand out.
>>
>>128075458
I feel like a lot of lefty white dudes like listening to (more-so talking about listening to) old rap like this as opposed to new popular stuff because it makes them feel like they're truly in tune with """the culture""" and not just a tourist
>>
>>128075458
he's good but he's not better than Future or Young Thug, that's real hip-hop and culture
>>
>>128075458
People only like MF Doom because (((academic elites))) have told them to.

Madvillainy is like if Raekwon made OBFCL exclusively for wypipo.

Aesop Rock is better

bullshit. His beats are sloppy sampling work, combined with some pots and pans thrown around.

That’s a good thing, not a bad thing.
Suburban people have better taste in music and standards for art than hoodrats do.

This is exactly why his songs mean nothing. He said nothing about the street life, nothing about society, and nothing of value beyond "this cereal fire; this cartoon fire". Onions shit (but complex onions shit).

Mf doom sucks. A lot of black kids listen to him, but not hood niggas. Mostly anime watching blacks with white friends
>>
>>128075458
because most of hood rap is crap. especially nowadays where it's all industry plants and soundcloud nobodies.

rap & hip hop will die in our lifetime just like rock did.
