Aliki: Your type of music may reflect your personality, but not how intelligent you are. Personally, I see Lil' Wayne as a genius, same as 2pac! Our best rappers here in Nigeria are still way far behind, in comparison to beats and lyrics these guys produced several years back.

You just had to beat me to this right angry....now it would seem as though I plaigarised your post sad

to a greater extent it does ooo. there's this feeling of satisfaction and friendliness when u meet someone who listen to dsame selection of music like u do. there are particular kind of music dat does suit some particular situation. for me, blues, rock and jazz music are my brand and they help me reason well and to achieve serenity. Phil Collins and Kenny G are d bomb.

True...but do you call the crap Lil Wayne sings 'Rap'? Generalization is dangerous but the facts are there. Majority of people who love listening to Lil Wayne or Terry G are not that bright.
i disagree with you totally. Afterall nothing is good, nothing is bad, all are just products of thinking

bknight: Rather its the IQ that determines what kind of music one listens to, I think.

A man's higher IQ may lead him to listen to Ebenezer Obey. A man with lower IQ might consider the lyrics/thoughts in the lyrics dull, so he opts for Obesere.

Well, intelligent or not we all have right to live and enjoy life through music, so to each his own. Intelligence doesn't guarantee u 100yrs on earth

[quote author=vivacious
vivi]I have heard this argument before. Some
pals of mine were arguing about Jazz and
Hip Hop and its possible effects on one's
intelligence quotient. I beg to differ here
simple because I don't really like
generalizations and also because
population samples taken for Studies
such as these are most times, flawed.
Nevertheless, the facts seem to show it
but I still disagree.undecided

I tend to agree with this people because generalization does not really get answers. The kind of music you listen to does not determine your IQ rather it determines your mood. I used to have a friend back in school days who loved listening to blues most especially one by Celine Dion but she wasn't bright at all, so i beg to disagree.

Very true. If you listen to the contemporary Nigerian afropop cacophony MOST OF THE TIME, chances are that you won't be so intelligent. It's always tupatupatupa. And the retarded rhymes? WTF is limpopo, peretete, vavavoom, mukulu? The more you listen to these meaningless songs, the more your senses are dulled by their repetitive inane lyrics. How would you listen to Coldplay or The Fray and not think? Rock is it for me. Rap is watery nowadays. Old school is precious. I even listen to symphonies and classical music and leave Skelewu and Azonto, Alingo et al for club houses and dance floors.

Its hard to explain. The type of music you listen to does not show how smart you are. well, what i think anyway

Smart and Dumb people can enjoy the same type of music at any time.

Just because one does not pass Jamb does not mean he is not intelligent. Different reasons can be the cause. Definitely not music
You're simply right
Re: What Does Your Taste In Music Say About Your Intelligence? by Nobody: 8:18pm On Oct 23, 2013
Imagine people saying lil wayne isnt creative or have intelligent rap verses. His song "Bi**ches love me" no matter how sexual it is as a very intelligent verses. Check out the first verse esp the bolded

Uh, pussy ass nigga stop hating
Lil Tunechi got that fire
And these hoes love me like Satan, man!
Yeah, mess with me and get bodied
And all she eat is di.ck
She's on a straight diet, that's my baby

With no makeup she a ten
And she the best with that head
Even better than Karrine
She don't want money
She want the time we could spend
She said, "Cause I really need somebody
So tell me you're that somebody"
Girl, I Bleep who I want and Bleep who I don't
Got that A1 credit and that fillet mignon
She said, "I never wanna make you mad
I just wanna make you proud."
I said, "Baby just make me cum,
Then don't make a sound."

And the second verse

Uh, real nigga Bleep these haters
These hoes got pussies like craters
Can't treat these hoes like ladies, man!
Pussy, money, weed, codeine
She say my dick feel like morphine
I hope my name taste like sardines to these niggas
She wake up, eat this di.ck
Call that breakfast in bed
69, 96
I feel her heartbeat
I chest to chest with this bi.tch
Now turn around, face down
I'm arrestin' this bi,tch

Yeah, all my bitches love me
And I love all my bitches
But it's like as soon as I cum
I come to my senses
And I would say these hoes' names
But then I would be snitching
And these haters try to knock me
But they can't knock me off the hinges, man!
(Tunechi!)

Willgates: just because someone is writing JAMB for the fourth time doesn't mean he's got an abysmal I.Q. And did you just say lil Wayne's songs? damn! the manner at which that guy plays with words is simply incredible! If u don't like his songs it's because u have a low I.Q already
Thank you very much for this your comment! The way Lil Wayne coins words is very very incredible and amazing. Only a brilliant person can coin words like that. And only brilliant and bright brains can also rap songs by him. Those like me who listen to his songs are bright and intelligent.

She say I drive her crazy. I say just put on your seat belt (on a factual sense, it's reasonable). Only a dummy that would say verses by Lil Wayne aren't reasonable. Probably the O.P is...

Really, listening to some daft musician proves you are a daft yourself. Does it not? Otherwise, why would you be listening to him/her? Especially when the noise being made contains no musical value?

Same with Nigerian films...I've found out that lovers of Nollywood are mostly empty...or can that trash appeal to a superior intellect?

I am one strange Nigerian when it comes to the kind of music I listen to. I've got Mozart, Handel, Haydn, Beethoven, Yanni in my collection. Other than those, I listen to mostly rock and then some pop music. I pity anyone that goes through my phone's playlist in search of songs to play. What does that say about me?
Re: What Does Your Taste In Music Say About Your Intelligence? by Nobody: 8:36pm On Oct 23, 2013
i dont know if your choice of music affects intelligence, but my listening to reggae music has changed and influenced the way i think. It has helped me to relate to my self and surroundings as a true African. Bob Marley nd Lucky dube......just wished they were alive!

Pop

While pop music lovers are hard-working and have high self-esteem, researchers suggests that they tend to be less creative and more uneasy.

Rap and Hip/Hop

In spite of the stereotype that rap lovers are more aggressive or violent, researchers have actually found no such link. Rap fans do tend to have high self-esteem and are usually outgoing.

Country

Country music fans are typically hardworking, conventional and outgoing. While country songs are often centered on heartbreak, people who gravitate towards this genre tend to be very emotionally stable.

Rock / Heavy Metal

Despite the sometimes aggressive image that rock music and heavy metal project, researchers found that fans of this style of music are usually quite gentle. They tend to be creative, but are often introverted and may suffer from low self-esteem.

Indie

Do you love seeking out obscure bands and indie artists? Fans of the indie genre are typically introverted, intellectual and creative. According to researchers, they also tend to be less hard-working and less gentle. Passivity, anxiousness and low self-esteem are other common personality characteristics.

Dance

Do you love the fast-paced rhythms of dance music? According to researchers, people who prefer dance music are usually outgoing and assertive.

Classical

Classical music lovers are typically more introverted, but are also at ease with themselves and the world around them. They are creative and have a good sense of self-esteem.

Jazz, Blues and Soul

People who enjoy jazz, blues or soul music were found to be more extraverted with high self-esteem. They also tend to be very creative, intelligent and at ease.

The next time you are putting together a playlist to listen to during your commute or workout, consider how your personality might be reflected in your song choices.
