Just a***yzing the different facets of his fandom
No I was talking about the guy who tweeted but tbh I’m not sure exactly what “Jean-Michsl Basquiafication” even means I just assume it means he saying doom got popular after he died

yeah DOOM as an artist has essentially become commodified to signify esteemed taste, or he’s just kinda of been thrown into that “legendary dead dude” canon that your average c***might know about, but they don’t know his music but feel obliged to at least know the dude’s stuff on a surface level out of “respect” or whatever the hell it is
DOOM was always sort of an artist that floated in that “i don’t listen to rap but” space, however i think it’s fairly obvious it’s been exacerbated a lot more ever since he passed away, it honestly seems like his image is taking precedence over his actual music which is pretty sad, i wouldn’t say this issue is unique to him at all though
Regarding your last paragraph, I would say that the DOOM doesn't really appeal to non-rap fans that much but he does attract a certain type of hipster alternative rap elitist fan that s***s on mainstream hip hop and uses Doom as an anti-commercial symbol for real rap.
I can't explain it but I do get those vibes sometimes from fellow fans. Like they'll only f*** with Kanye, Kendrick, Wu Tang, Tyler, Dilla, and Earl outside of Doom while downplaying many other types of rap. Like they'll s*** on Jay-Z and what have you and think that makes them more "real hip hop" even though Doom and Jay factually were fans of each other in real time.
Nov 7, 2023Dude don't know what he talking about. Both DOOM and Jean were highly regarded in their craft when alive. Not only after death.

Real s*** I always used to say that MF Doom and Cam'ron should've made a song together back in 2003/2004. Rap wise they had the same style but that divide between the mainstream / underground was serious

Good point.

WRUbeen the case long before his death and tbh he knew what he was doing at least after a while when his music more or less took off
The stunt double doom thing is still one of the funniest things I’ve heard of an artist doing

Their lore is built on mythology and the space to explore their worlds on your terms, if that makes sense.
Short-form video content for music gives fans have a face in a way that we haven't really experienced before. Specific fans can become entities in their own right off the backs of the likeness of the artists they hype up. That can be deeply alienating for the listener-artist experience, and I feel that way when white people from Scandinavia write long-form IG captions on why they love Donuts.

Being in 8th grade hearing flylo on all the AS commercials enabled me to draw my own throughline between thom yorke and tyler and erykah etc. i think it accelerated my music listenership in a meaningful, multi-pronged way not in a way where I just found all those artists on a playlist

don't even know what this post means, completely incomparable artists.
Basquiat was poor, got famous fast, died, and now his s*** is a commodity for the richest ppl alive whereas DOOM had a steady career for decades and maybe now a few more ppl know about him because he died, it's not like now billionaires are buying Doomsday tapes at an auction lmao

Kylie rocked the DOOM sneakers in an IG post some years back but this is basically true.
