Ok, so I'm in the IB Diploma program. And I was thinking to myself one day: Can the type of music you listen affect your intelligence? Because, for those of you who know people in the IB Diploma Program, they're the "shit" (Quote from counselor). Not that that's a good thing to be proud of, or whatever. (Read people. I never said it was something to be proud of. Seriously). I digress. So, I thought to myself and calculated that the majority of my class listens to rock (or anything non (mainstrem) rap and/or hip-hop). And that the lower classes (no offense) listen to rap and/or hip-hop. I'm not saying EVERYBODY that listens to rap and/or hip-hop is dumb, or even vice versa (meaning that rock doesn't make you smarter). It was just a thought. What do you guys think?

i just don't get why hip hop is always what gets thrown under the bus. mainstream radio rap...yeah it's dumb often, but mainstream rock isn't any better than radio rap. it's the same bullshit. every single genre has it's good stuff and it has it's shitty stuff. i would definitely question the intelligence of someone who hasn't figured this out yet.
robbi's nickle back is a good example. i don't get how someone can honestly listen to that and then listen to nas and think nickleback is smarter because it's rock. nas is infinitely more lyrically complex than shit like nickleback. |

Nickelback sucks dicks. I retract my earlier statement and say this "aka idiots listen to Nickelback" |
