No Filter: Michelle Obama Says Young Black People Just Want To Be Rappers!

Michelle Obama has always kept it one hundred, and she didn't change her ways at all this weekend. 

While delivering the commencement speech to the class of 2013 at Bowie State University, Michelle touched on a number of issues, namely the priorities of young black americans.


"Today, instead of walking miles every day to school, they're sitting on couches for hours, playing video games, watching TV. Instead of dreaming of being a teacher or a lawyer or a business leader, they're fantasizing about being a baller or a rapper," said Obama. "Right now, one in three African American students are dropping out of high school, only one in five African Americans between the ages of 25 and 29 has gotten a college degree."

Well Damn!: Study Shows That Lil Wayne Has The Dumbest Fans

Would you peg Lil Wayne fans for being, overall, dumb? According to a recent study done by Facebook, that's apparently the case.

The study gathered data from students across the country and ended up showing that Lil Wayne's fans boasted the lowest SAT scores of any other artist tested. Weezy's fans had an average SAT score of 876, while other acts such as Radiohead, Counting Crows, and Sufjan Stevens rounded out at about 1200.

Naturally, the smartest fans were those of classical music, specifically Beethoven. Those fans had an average SAT score of 1376. Interestingly enough, those same fans were also fond of Jay-Z and Eminem, who boast unique flows and rhythms exciting for those who study classical music.
