How can people like Drake but not real rap like MF Doom?

[Drake is God]

I tried to put my brother who's a drake stan on doom/madvillain and he didn't like the music.

If you ask the average drake fan who MF doom or Madlib is they will look at you all dumbfounded.

I ask myself this question all the motherfukking time...

They're two rappers on completely different ends of the spectrum than one another, despite their strengths and weaknesses.

Because different people have different tastes

Son's fanbase know the brother man's dope

 

[Blackout]

MF Doom music is an acquired taste

 

[End Cruelty]

How did you present it to him? When I think somebody might not like sumn, I sneak it in the rotation. People are wired to say no to a lot of suggestions.

I like "real rap" but not really into MF Doom, like the poster above said he's an acquired taste

Just cause you like hip hop (even though Drake ain't) don't mean you gotta like every rapper that is lyrical or considered "real hip hop"

I know hip hop heads who like a lot of the same shyt I do, but they love MF Doom, I don't. I love Lloyd Banks and they don't. It is what it is.

Different eras

also "real" is subjective in this case so i think that's a bad way of introducing someone to something different. you're basically saying "everything you've listened to and all emotions you've felt up to this point are trash..." it's a personal insult even if you don't mean it that way

or maybe i'm just putting extras on it...


I feel like when the lifestyle he's living/ vibe he's in at whatever point in his life matches MF DOOM's music, he'll gravitate towards it himself. All you gotta do is introduce him to it and let it go from there, forcing it on him is like a vegan tryna shyt on someone that's eating ribs, people gotta go on their own journey

MF Doom is a rapper not a pretty boy singing love songs for females and moist nikkas

 

[Chip Skylark]

Everyone can't listen to DOOM. Drake is digested more easier.

Some of dooms beats are cringe and really boom bap and his flow is very unorthodox.

Drake is simple 808 here and there and a few pop tunes.

To each it's own though

 

[Bugatti Biceps]

It's a maturity thing. I don't know a single bum nikka that listens to MF Doom. You have to be at a certain intellectual level to really fukk with him.

 

[Renegade47]

crazy cuz drake is doom and madlib fan.

dislike your favorite rappers favorite rapper brehs.

 

[Killigraphy]

I like both, one can still be eclectic in this day and age. I focus more on trying not to be a culture vulture and more on what sounds good to me.


Plus dat Beef Rap....
