Lil' Wayne Linked to Stupid People

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.

16. With the exception of Chuck D, rappers can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

17. Lil Wayne does suck, everyone knows that! I have yet to meet a smart person who listens to his stupid raps. His raps are stupid even for hip hop!

18. What kidn of "study" was this? Anybody who's taken a psychology class knows that this is a simple correlation and only suggests what was taken out of a biased sample. Can this be scientifically proven? NO.

For the record, I listen to classic music, lil wayne etc. This is the most stupid attempt at hate I've ever seen.

I listen to Lil Wayne (among others of course). I graduated college with honors, have a good job, etc. So, your little theory seems invalid. You don't have to like him, and honestly I can understand why some people don't, but there's no need to bash everyone who does. He's eclectic as hell, some people like it, some not so much.

23. Add insult to injury, SAT doesn't determine how smart you are. Take an A student from South Africa who isn't culturally familier with the format on SAT and he fails it...is he dumb?

Where do you guys come up with this? JayZ - guys worth more than $400mil, was president of Def Jam. 50-cent - president of G-Unit, again, worth close to 1/2 a billion dollars. P Diddy - President of Bad Boy Worldwide, once again, worth close to $500 mil, runs several companies, etc. Like my other post says: You don't have to like the music, but making comments like that just makes you look stupid and non-credible.

That's what I was wondering. I like ALL kinds of music including Lil Wayne and Mozart. I can 2-step with that best of them. Am I a super dummy or a super genious. Enquiring minds want to know.
