What is the hip hop community's opinion on Madvillainy? Is it dismissed as an album for genre tourists?

>black people listening to MF DOOM
Nice try.
The mainstream community doesn't even have an opinion on it. The underground/enthusiast/mu community loves it. It think they love it so much, talking about it is boring at this point. It's not for genre tourists, people that don't like hip-hop probably won't like Madvillainy, but you're likely a newfag if you're gushing over it. Imagine someone posting "the cake is a lie" on /v/ and thinking they are clever.
It's a loved classic and well respected but not too many people in the hip hop community will have it in their top 5/top 10. Definitely not dismissed as an album for genre tourists at all

This.
Explain genre tourist.

Nobody really knows about it in the modern mainstream hip-hop community. It's a classic underground though.
The general community has no idea what the fuck it is.
MM...FOOD is about on par with it. DOOM is just a master wordsmith, and the beats are interesting if you've never head Madlib's shit before. If you like it the first time you listen to it, you'll continue to like it into the future.

Someone who only listens to albums (from any genre) just to say they like them on the internet to prove how good their taste is. These are they people that subscribe/shill VinylMePlease, post in 3x3 threads, ect.

Jesus, that's the most autistic thing I've read today.
That whole statement implies you can't like multiple genres; especially some more than others.
MF Doom is probably the best rapper to ever live. I'm glad he was never mainstreamed to normieism. Honestly, the older I get the less I can stand listening to rap, except for Doom. The guy has literally said the same line twice, unlike every other rapper who has a vocab of about 200 hundred words total.
MM...Food is substance
Madvillany is style
Also, if its an album for genre tourists that is a good thing, since its great. Although illmatic is probably a more egregious example.

*never said the same line twice
shit version of Take Me To Your Leader
>>72263370
so literally everyone here, even me
got you
>>72263020
That's just not true.
It's well respected in the hip community. Nobody cares if people that like other genres like it as well
>>72262953
lol xD
