Lil' Wayne Linked to Stupid People

Posted Feb 27th 2009 1:20PM by TMZ Staff

If you enjoy the musical stylings of Lil' Wayne, there's a high probability that you're a dumbass -- at least according to one brand new scientific study.

Lil' Wayne
One of the smartest computer people on the planet -- Virgil Griffith -- has just released the results of a brand new study which showed a correlation between SAT scores and the musical tastes of college students.

Shockingly, people who enjoy listening to Beethoven scored significantly higher than everyone else. The people who enjoy listening to Lil' Wayne, however, were at the bottom of the intelligence chart -- just behind people who like Beyoncé and T.I.

But the most bizarre finding: People who dig the mid '90s soft rock drivel of Counting Crows scored incredibly high, just below Ludwig van. Now that's just stupid.

153. this article is incorrect, the study was done by a college student, as a fun comedic study for a class. In the original article it doesn't even say a thing about Virgil Griffith or his " astonishing" computer skills. that's entirely made up to make the study sound more authoritative. I only stumbled this site but TMZ sounds like a site not worth coming back to.

155. is it just me or does any one else realize that these scores are the AVERAGES of the music-listeners scores? because you all are assuming this is relevent to every single person who listens to the different music selections shown, and as for the survey being bogus, if it was (i hope so as the creator is in a university) conducted using the scientific method than the results are fair unless he himself miscalculated them, oh and if you are in (or have an education equivilant to) middle school, don't post comments on how this is racist (here's looking at you #9)

156. as a matter of fact, why are we arguing about this when there is an economy on the verge of collapse and we are on TMZ? Surely there are more productive things to be done
