^more detailed graph of results^

 

If i could id rip all of his songs x1000000 buy a little store and just give em away.

 

why do you enjoy killing your own people.

every time a child listens to lil wayne, thousands of neurons die

 

Lil Wayne's music is crap. If you are going to listen to rap you might as well listen to Eminem, AKA greatest rapper alive.

 

my fav rappers go like this

1. Drake
2. Eminem
3. Lil wayne

but i bet i score higher then 90% of my class.

P.S grammer nazis dont troll, im on the internet so idgaf

 

The results don't surprise me at all, but everyone is entitled to their own I guess.

 

It doesn't surprise me they think lil gayne is cool so they do crack or coke or cough syrup and sniff mercury and then take a test and get borderline retarded scores.

 

I'd rather listen to Mozart/Beethoven than him anyways haha.

I heard if you play classical music for babies they will become smarter, anyone agree?

 

loled

 

I think that it is utterly deranged for people to judge fellow humans based solely on their music genre. Everyone should be able to enjoy their own style or cliche of music. You are free as a person to call someone else's work trash, but It's just foolish to judge someone by their work or what they enjoy. It's like judging a book by it's cover. Sure. I may not enjoy rap to it's full extent, but I sure as hell don't make myself look like a incompetent bitch and insult listeners of rap.

 

these are the results of a study dude

also, your free to be a nazi, and im free to hate on you for it

also, reported for offensive language.
next time calm down before you post

 

People can try to copy Tupac and Biggie, but they won't be the same.

Tupac and Biggie are both dead, but their music will live forever..

 

TMZ's graph looks as if a 5 year old just discovered the wonders of photoshop for the first time. Travel to the inner-city of whatever state you might live in, and spend a week there. Enjoy the abhorrent conditions of living and the lack of motivation in their schools. Examine how rough their lives are, and imagine yourself in their position. Based on your graphs, I assume 90%+ of those students listen to modern pop and/ or rap.

Now travel to the finest private school in your state, examine their lives. Watch them, how privileged they are, how much they lack common sense. I bet 90%+ of those students listen to conservative music.

These test results are rigged based on the extremes of each side of the spectrum. Not every stereotyped white rich kid listens to conservative music.

I just don't feel it's fair to judge others based on their musical likings.

 

Musical preference really is biased.

Don't believe every test out there just because someone smart conducted it - it is almost impossible to rule out bias completely in experiments or observational studies.

 

As much as I hate rap, I don't agree with this study.

I believe that there are many other factors and this is a very poor correlation. Similar to saying eating ice cream causes more people to drown. (More people eat ice cream during the summer. During summer more people are swimming so obviously there would be more drownings. They do not relate.)

There are many factors that could be the reason why this is. simply listening to either will not make you smarter or dumber.

For example:
~ If you listen to Mozart it could because you had strict parents. They had you take up the piano and were very concerned about your grades in school. Your parents may be strict because they have very well paying jobs. Due to this you live in a school system that is very well off. The system and your parents prepared you very well for the SAT's.
~Maybe the above isn't true and somewhat the opposite. Where you grew up your parents were to busy working or much more lenient. Perhaps the school system was not the best. So you weren't as prepared as that kid who had a wonderful school system.

Sorry, but I don't care how smart this computer programmer is. Unless he takes that research further and finds a way to use it. For now, unless you have a Ph.D of psychology lets leave it to the people who have one of these degrees to do studies as such.

 

first off, i never stated causation, so your argument is redundant

second, stating we should leave it to people with PHD's is not needed in any argument, as it voids almost every ones opinions, whether their logic possesses a kernel of truth or not.


i was simply showing you that people who buy little wayne tend to be less intelligent than people who listen to pretty much everything else, for whatever reason.




jesus, all of you need to read a lil bit more

and to Pwnm30rdi3, this study was not done by TMZ, it was only reported by them.

PS
if u could not tell that my statement about neurons dying was a joke then you probably have an IQ below 50 and i should not be arguing with you out of pity.

 

Regardless if it's a joke or not. It was still said.
If a friend of yours was joking about how small your genitalia was infront of the girl of your dreams. Would you take offense to the joke? Whether it be the truth or not?

I'm just saying, jokes can be hurtful even when not intended to be. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this study, it's just the links people draw when they see the results.

 

Ok you win that one.

Next time I'll read the article. But look at how stupid the article is honestly. There is no other variables looked at, and there would be a lot.

Maybe it isn't the fault of this guy, he could have good research. Now than, for the people that wrote this article... Congratulations you just passed a sixth grade writing exam. I'm sure this mans work has been greatly taken out of context and was much more in depth.

 

That doesn't mean that lil Wayne is unintelligent.

 

No one ever said that.

I'm surprised Techno scored that low. Maybe Americans are different to Australians, as by that result alone, it most certainly is inaccurate relative to my school.
