Rap music makes you stupid. 1

So says a new study by Virgil Griffith, a 25-year-old grad student at Caltech.
A tid bit:
Quote:
...the school with the highest average SAT score happened to be Caltech, shockingly enough. And Caltech students' favorite band, as indicated by their Facebook pages, is Radiohead. But since Caltech has fewer students than plenty of larger schools, Radiohead doesn't get too huge of a bump on the big chart. According to Griffith's chart, the smartest kids' favorite musician, by a ridiculously huge margin, is Beethoven (average SAT score: 1371). Other smart kid favorites: Sufjan Stevens, U2, Radiohead. The dumbest kids' favorite, meanwhile, is Lil Wayne (average score: 889). Other dumb kid favorites: Beyonce, T.I., Ludacris.
For his part, Griffith doesn't claim that the chart is any sort of definitive IQ-map: As he told The Wall Street Journal, "Their unity is hilarity incarnate. This is to inspire people to think creatively about the data sets that are on the Internet ... Of course there is the whole correlation is not causation thing, but, I mean, duh." Spoken like a true Sufjan fan. LINK
What a racist douche bag.

I have to automatically disregard that quote because there is no way U2 should be a favorite of college kids.
But what if the study is accurate? Does that make really make him a racist douche or just a snobby bitch-ass with some power of observation? (I do like Radiohead)

I think U2 and Billy Joel (for heaven's sakes) can be chalked up to smart kids not having the time to look for better music.

I know plenty of kids that love rap and Lil Wayne. They are all dumb as hell.

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around You're tired of livin' in your one-horse town You'd like to find a little hole in the ground For a while
So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens It's like some pornographic magazine And you smile
Captain Jack will get you high tonight And take you to your special island Captain Jack will get you by tonight Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
Your sister's gone out. She's on a date And you just sit at home and masturbate Your phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait For that call
So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes Ahh, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose After all
But Captain Jack will get you high tonight And take you to your special island Captain Jack will get you by tonight Just a little push and you'll be smilin' Oh yeah...
So you decide to take a holiday You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet Ah, there ain't no place to go anyway What for?
So you got everything, aw but nothing's cool They just found your father in the swimming pool And you guess you won't be going back to school Anymore.
But Captain Jack can get you high tonight And take you to your special island Aw Captain Jack will get you by tonight Just a little push and you'll be smilin' Ooh yeah...
So you play your albums, and you smoke your pot And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got What went wrong?
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead Why you've got to keep in style and feed your head Well you're 21 and still your mother makes your bed And that's too long
But Captain Jack will get you high tonight And take you to your special island Well now Captain Jack will get you by tonight Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
Oh Captain Jack will get you high tonight Take you to your special island Well now Captain Jack will make you high tonight Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
Yeah Captain Jack will get you high tonight And take you to your special island Captain Jack will make you high tonight Well now Captain Jack will make you high tonight

Correlation does not imply causation. I used to listen to rap, still do sometimes, but when I did almost exclusively I got a 31 on my ACT. Sig related.

People who listen to good music don't need standardized exams to prove their intelligence.
On the opposite end of the spectrum I've met hipsters that listen to fashionably obscure good music who are dumb as a brick flung onto an interstate highway.

The writing was the essay portion, which was out of 12. A 10 is very good. The highest composite score is a 36, most average kids get low-mid 20s. High 20s is pretty good, anything over 30 is great.

Correlation does not always imply causation.
There are plenty of rap artist who provide intelligent lyrics and there are plenty of "U2"-esque bands whose songs are meaningless.
I used to listen to ICP and I scored a 27 on my ACT with a 31 in math.
Nowadays I listen to a wider variety of music, and very little rap. WOO PARK, Tycho, God is An Astronaut, Mochipet, Rivkka, Modest Mouse, Dr. Dog, The National, Flaccid, Caribou...

Blacks tend to listen to lil wayne and other shitty rap. Blacks have lower mean IQ.
It's pretty stupid to make the assumption that because people that listen to rap have lower IQ's, that rap is the cause of it.
I scored 1300 and listen to rap. Not shitty rap though. Well I did at the time actually but not anymore.

Thanks asshole, but I wasn't trying to impress anyone. Yes I'm an 18 year old kid, as you can see by the date on the image. I am also proud of my score, as not many people score that well, and it made me feel really shitty when everyone was so surprised by the score I got. I was just a quiet kid, never gave anyone a reason to assume I was a retard, but everyone just assumed I was a worthless piece of shit. And hey look at me now, they were right.

Some of the better underground rap I agree with rapeutic. Comparing mainstream music, no way. Talent wise I don't think any genre takes it, rap definitely takes a lot of talent but so does playing an instrument.

This is also very true. The ACT was all about time management. All the fuck heads I knew thought they were going to do well cause they took the most adderal that morning, while I knew I scored good because I actually managed my time well enough to answer almost all the questions to the best of my ability.

A tid bit:
Quote:
...the school with the highest average SAT score happened to be Caltech, shockingly enough. And Caltech students' favorite band, as indicated by their Facebook pages, is Radiohead. But since Caltech has fewer students than plenty of larger schools, Radiohead doesn't get too huge of a bump on the big chart. According to Griffith's chart, the smartest kids' favorite musician, by a ridiculously huge margin, is Beethoven (average SAT score: 1371). Other smart kid favorites: Sufjan Stevens, U2, Radiohead. The dumbest kids' favorite, meanwhile, is Lil Wayne (average score: 889). Other dumb kid favorites: Beyonce, T.I., Ludacris.
For his part, Griffith doesn't claim that the chart is any sort of definitive IQ-map: As he told The Wall Street Journal, "Their unity is hilarity incarnate. This is to inspire people to think creatively about the data sets that are on the Internet ... Of course there is the whole correlation is not causation thing, but, I mean, duh." Spoken like a true Sufjan fan. LINK

Rap can be real without being serious. You can also make any kind of music rap music. Anything. Nothing is more versatile. Rappers can even sing and it's still a rap song. You can get more of a message in to a rap song than any other genre as well.

You guys are crazy. Yes some rappers are talented and you can convey messages pretty well lyrically that way but guess what?
Poetry has been around forever, and people have been conveying their messages through poetry forever.
What the hell makes rap special in any way?
Someone can make a shitty beat and rhyme over it and bam they made a rap song.
Practically any other genre takes more effort musically, and can be just as poetic.

Are you guys seriously trying to rate genres of music?
Acting like such a thing is quantifiable

I'd guess it's mostly a love-hate thing with him. That song is (IMO) a fine example for that particular concept album, but each (album) has a pretty distinct sound. More typical for lack of better terms folk/indie here, a mostly electronic 2011(?), and just released a new one this year.

First of all their is more to music than beat and lyrics.
Secondly music is not confined to genres.
There is tons of rap with horrendously shitty beats and lyrics...
Just like there are tons of other genres with both very poetic lyrics and simpler/ worse stuff.
Nice Psycho, I may have to check that list out for shits and giggles :lol

Progressive rock for one. Hell, sludge metal too.
Progressive rock, Rush, Vital Signs Unstable condition A symptom of life In mental and environmental change Atmospheric disturbance The feverish flux Of human interface and interchange
The impulse is pure Sometimes our circuits get shorted By external interference Signals get crossed And the balance distorted By internal incoherence
A tired mind become a shape-shifter Everybody need a mood lifter Everybody need reverse polarity Everybody got mixed feelings About the function and the form Everybody got to deviate from the norm
An ounce of perception A pound of obscure Process information at half speed Pause, rewind, replay Warm memory chip Random sample, hold the one you need
Leave out the fiction The fact is, this friction Will only be worn by persistence Leave out conditions Courageous convictions Will drag the dream into existence
A tired mind become a shape-shifter Everybody need a soft filter Everybody need reverse polarity Everybody got mixed feelings About the function and the form Everybody got to elevate from the norm...
sludge metal, Acidbath, Scream of the Butterfly
A creature made of sunshine her eyes were like the sky Rabbit howls like something old as we twitch to her lullaby The scalpel shines in gods sunshine street lights whisper pain Down here near the poison stream you're god has gone insane
She smiles like a child with flowers in her hair With blood on her hands into the sun she stares She feels it die, I heard her cry (x2)
Like the scream of the butterfly
Sunshine a house in flames She likes it where she gets it but it's never felt the same Surgery in the house of dissection When your candle burns out I will resurrect you She runs through fields of daisies Yeah it's just a shame that they eat their own babies Who cares cause the air is free When you get there will you kiss the dead for me?
There's blood on the moon and the summer is cold There's love in the room but baby that's gettin' old There's blood on my face sittin' on a dead shore A highway of emptiness and I'm feeling old There's blood on the moon as we plan our escape The goddess in bloom handcuffed and raped There's blood in the bath tub murder the king There's blood on the moon there's blood on just about everything
Sunshine a house in flames She likes it where she gets it but it's never felt the same Surgery in the house of dissection When your candle burns out I will resurrect you She runs through fields of daisies Yeah it's just a shame that they eat their own babies Who cares cause the air is free When you get there will you kiss the dead for me?
Something cold is forced inside her a tear spills down her cheek Stillborn songs of a dead dreamer hymns of the needle freak With sunlight in her hair she smiles like she don't care her dreams are liquid blue I cut myself again and again to remind myself of you
She smiles like a child with flowers in her hair With blood on her hands into the sun she stares She feels it die, I heard her cry (x2)
like the scream of the butterfly (x2)
I met an angel with a sawed-off shotgun wanted by the FBI we dropped some acid, killed our parents then we hit the road
like the scream of the butterfly (x2) like the scream of the butterfly (x2)

Starfire that was trash lyrically. The Ghana Drum and Dance was dope though, i used to watch a lot of that
Nothing posted so far comes close to this lyrically
Gazin at this blank page channeling my deep cerebral phase My mind slowly reaches the 9th stage Boom! now Ive caputured it The paragraphical map is scrambled in my inner-cranial labyrinth Im focused lets go after it I move in carefully, the canvas stares at me with apathy And as I struggle it sarcastically talks back to me Frustration pops in To strain out a classical concoction, its pain stakin but failure's not an option A spark the size of a quark Tries to take shape and develop into what becomes an embryonic thought My endorphins release and start chasin it My cerebellum embraces it but my haste and over-anxiousness erases it A split second from deliverin
Was at the edge of my mental but quickly backflipped into the river of oblivion Im almost nauseous Why should I be cautious when all this inanimate garbage is under my auspice The vision within The smooth black pen, but when a concept begins something pushes it back in All the inspiration ceases A sharp pain increases Scattered fragments of a thesis but my mind wont release it Fightin' somethin' not typical to fight wit Stare at the page all night till my sight quit My occipital might split So scandalous is the virgin canvas With no guard for the man who tries to channel his deepest thoughts to romance it
(The canvas Where great works of art rest Where creative inspiration is made manifest Phisophies and dreams executed by the hand, before its sent out to man This is where it all began)X2
The canvas As fast as the Atlantic Where the righteous and the rancid ideas of man sit The organic and the outlandish The three way connection between my thoughts page and the pen that I brandish I wrote a line I felt from within The page regurgitated back in the form of a flame that melted my pen I replaced it with one I figured was greater The first acceptable line, finally hits the paper several hours later I was tired but couldnt rest till Im through The canvas spoke to me again and calmy asked "Is that the best you could do"? Fool Ive got a message for you How you gon disrespect my work and all of this time Ive infested in you It said "You full of intellectual wealth" "You started this so now you gotta live up to the standard you set for yourself
The unparalleled creations The timeless innovations, the mixture of real life situations and useful information I asked why do you care it replied "How can you lyrically stimulate peoples minds if you and I dont coincide? Beside the fact Im being protective of you Would you wanna have somethin' written on your body thats not reflective of you?" Had to agree its perspective was true So in a second or two I brainstormed and intellectually grew It was torture and my thoughts were exhausted I didnt draw a mountainside or a wild orchid, but a literary portrait And what I wrote the page no longer denounced it My mind pushed and gave birth to a verse that weighed 3 tons and 7 ounces I asked how do you like it? It said "I love it" Now I know my page will only accept words that are worthy of it

simple lyrics both you and lowbrow posted.. they read like highschool poems.. amateurish. What I posted shits all over it tenfold. multisyllables, rhyme schemes, puns, metaphors, punchlines, slant rhymes, wordplay, diction/syntax etc. hip hop is most expansive in all this. thats why lyrically its more advanced than any other genre. largest vocab usage too

There are lots of good rappers out there. The ego battle thing comes from rap battling dude, it's a game and that's meant to be fun, but it's about self image for the listener as much as the one saying it. Ever watched a rap battle? Some of the shit they say is hilarious. Some of them are straight up comedians. Then you have the gangster side, well what can you expect when you have an entire society who feels like they're treated differently. And I mean poor people. Every genre is used as a voice of the people in a different way. Rock music tends to say "you'll be okay guy " and rap tends to just get you to say you're awesome. Saying rap sucks really is apples and oranges. If you don't like a genre, you probably don't get it, and I mean 'you' in a broad sense.
Metal music can say some strange things and it's not as bashed as rap. Or how about punk. You know what punk sounds like to me? What rap sounds like to some other people. Rap can be so many things and still be rap, you take other genres and tweak it in little ways that they do with rap and it won't be the same genre. Let's listen to some bad jazz. Uhh, nope. We can chop it and rap to it though. How about country? All the bad country is all dead dogs, jesus. whiskey, horny blonde rich women, and kiss ass middle aged men.
I'm a little tired to drag up a bunch of songs but this is the first one that comes to mind that definitely has no bullshit. It's about the perpetuation of black stereotypes and social instability by the black culture.
Rap's one of the more abused genres and I thought it was common knowledge. There's tons of shit bands from every genre, with lyrics just as pathetic. Even some of the most influencial rock bands of all time had some shitty lyrics in there too. Those types of bands use the melody of their voice to compensate for weak lyrics in contrast to rap which uses the fallback of 'ego battling.' There's good reasons for that though, the most excusable being that career rappers can run out of shit to say pretty quick. How about the Grateful Dead? Tons of people think they really, really suck, for good reason. No one shits on rock music for that though, how uppity is that?

I don't like rap. I had a phase when I did, when was young, for maybe a year. Now I like rock sort of music. I like U2, Radiohead, I don't know who that other guy is, Chilli Peppers, Placebo, Muse, etc Does that make me smart? That's what I tell myself anyway  I can definitely see the divide in smarts & what music you like. On another note, I hate the greatful dead. Rap artists can be really smart with their lyrics, shame most of them aren't.

Any genre can have true artists, skilled within whatever window their style of music allows. Or, be multi-genre spanning experimentalists. Rap is all about lyrics and beat. And the lyrics are, by and large, about braggadocio. Clever, yes, but usually meaningless and empty ego boosting.
The beats are technically, pretty simplistic, and sampled, but still catchy.

Simple. People listen to music they can relate to. Rap fans largely consist of African Americans. In the USA African American communities have notoriously bad schooling.

i'm a long time fan of rap. the only thing that confuses me is when people seem to think the only good rap is from the abstract/backpacker end of the spectrum. for me, even though i'm into some artists who would be considered that style, i like some dirt. overly preachy, moralistic rap has long grown tiresome. all of that get up, get out and get something shit gets to be like sitting in church. it's like listening to a bad spike lee film.
music is entertainment, and when i listen to music i expect to be entertained. i tend to prefer clever lyricism with a nice dose of braggadocio and grit. i equate it to liking gangster movies like goodfellas. i don't like goodfellas because i connect with the mindset of robbing and killing for a living; i like it because it's a compelling story told through brilliant direction and acting.

SoupSandwich said: So says a new study by Virgil Griffith, a 25-year-old grad student at Caltech.
A tid bit:
Quote:
...the school with the highest average SAT score happened to be Caltech, shockingly enough. And Caltech students' favorite band, as indicated by their Facebook pages, is Radiohead. But since Caltech has fewer students than plenty of larger schools, Radiohead doesn't get too huge of a bump on the big chart. According to Griffith's chart, the smartest kids' favorite musician, by a ridiculously huge margin, is Beethoven (average SAT score: 1371). Other smart kid favorites: Sufjan Stevens, U2, Radiohead. The dumbest kids' favorite, meanwhile, is Lil Wayne (average score: 889). Other dumb kid favorites: Beyonce, T.I., Ludacris.
For his part, Griffith doesn't claim that the chart is any sort of definitive IQ-map: As he told The Wall Street Journal, "Their unity is hilarity incarnate. This is to inspire people to think creatively about the data sets that are on the Internet ... Of course there is the whole correlation is not causation thing, but, I mean, duh." Spoken like a true Sufjan fan. LINK
What a racist douche bag. 
Dear OP
Tell me one good rap artist, that promotes peace and understanding
That doesn't sell sex/violence or get you sexually stimulated by watching the cover with sexy halfnaked ladies
Usually rap is about violence, violence they think is cool - that's stupidity Usually rap is about sex/murder/violence, how much they gangrape each other, how many chicks he doggystyled, how little the new gangs know
Rap is ego stimulation, sexual stimulation, violence stimulation (again ego)
So is there any rap that is not about ego ?
That you can listen to without trying to be cool and fit in, without having to smoke weed?

if it doesnt cause stupidity then how do we explain all the stupid people listening to rap, are you trying to say that blacks are inherently stupid and that they listen to rap because of this?
BTW, we need to ban rap musiic as a symbol of hatred and violence

A tid bit:
Quote:
...the school with the highest average SAT score happened to be Caltech, shockingly enough. And Caltech students' favorite band, as indicated by their Facebook pages, is Radiohead. But since Caltech has fewer students than plenty of larger schools, Radiohead doesn't get too huge of a bump on the big chart. According to Griffith's chart, the smartest kids' favorite musician, by a ridiculously huge margin, is Beethoven (average SAT score: 1371). Other smart kid favorites: Sufjan Stevens, U2, Radiohead. The dumbest kids' favorite, meanwhile, is Lil Wayne (average score: 889). Other dumb kid favorites: Beyonce, T.I., Ludacris.
For his part, Griffith doesn't claim that the chart is any sort of definitive IQ-map: As he told The Wall Street Journal, "Their unity is hilarity incarnate. This is to inspire people to think creatively about the data sets that are on the Internet ... Of course there is the whole correlation is not causation thing, but, I mean, duh." Spoken like a true Sufjan fan. LINK
What a racist douche bag. 
Dear OP
Tell me one good rap artist, that promotes peace and understanding
That doesn't sell sex/violence or get you sexually stimulated by watching the cover with sexy halfnaked ladies
Usually rap is about violence, violence they think is cool - that's stupidity Usually rap is about sex/murder/violence, how much they gangrape each other, how many chicks he doggystyled, how little the new gangs know
Rap is ego stimulation, sexual stimulation, violence stimulation (again ego)
So is there any rap that is not about ego ?
That you can listen to without trying to be cool and fit in, without having to smoke weed?

Thanks appreciate it, will save up for an album or two and listen a bit to them on youtube
I don't really like eminem/snoop dog it seems, but 2pac seems to have some somewhat interesting mental lyrics
The other ones are just "sex,violence is cool" , sacral chakra desires lol
It drains you, even 5min of it Not that there is anything wrong with sex, but it can certainly be too much, there's sex in every newspaper and every music album these days, gives me nausea each time
Perverted sex is nasty , true sex is godly
