LIL' WAYNE..Are You The Weakest Link?

How The Listeners Of This 8 Time Grammy Nominee Scored.

There has been a study done by Virgil Griffith, who is supposedly "One of the smartest computer people on the planet ".He showed a correlation between SAT scores and the musical tastes of college students. First and foremost,this study is not taken serious by me.In my opinion,there are too many variables to skew the results.Lil' Wayne(who was an 8 time grammy nominee last year)had listeners that scored the lowest on their SAT'S,and the highest score went to those listening to Beethoven. I'm not a fan of Lil'Wayne,but a lot of people I know actually think he is the greatest rapper alive.I can understand the results, but I don't totally agree with them. I listen to all kinds of music,and I'm not the dullest nail in the pack.I'm not the sharpest tack either,but to me that says one variable not taken into consideration is a persons overall exposure to music. I grew up in a household that loved to listen to all forms of music.Maybe Mr. Griffith should have racially separated the test takers,because the SAT'S covertly do just that..but that is another story altogether. At least there was a good score for those who listened to Andre 3000..by the way where is his 8 grammy nominations.
