No, it wasn't saying that psychopaths liked those songs the least. It was saying that the people whose preferred those songs rated lowest on psychopathic tendencies. Also, as has been stated, Blackstreet is not rap. They were mainstream R&B. In any event, the results haven't been published so conclusions can't be made. Rap and hip hop are pretty much the world's most popular music right now so I am pretty sure many groups and personality types would prefer it.

How many times a day? I need to look good on Facebook in a week, so I can post my results as matter of factly.
I think an hour a day would do it. If that takes one long session, or a few shorter sessions doesn't matter.
All the logicians and mathematicians throughout history are rolling over in their graves because of this gem of reasoning.
So basically people who like black people music must be psychopaths. Got it. Stick to climate denial science - at least you will not be alone in your stupidity.
Did you just refer to rap as "Black people music"? That is straight up racist and it is not accurate at all. Seriously, is pop music "White people music"? You would wet yourself and have a full meltdown if anyone tried to suggest such a thing. What a racist thing to say. And no, you are not exempt from being a racist, because of your race. In fact, rap is international now. This form has spread to more languages than can easily be counted, and has been crossed with many different music styles as well. While we are on it, rap is well older than the "black" style that became popular with the black youth starting with the Sugerhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" in 1979. Here is that song, for anyone who is not sure if they have heard it: But this was not the ACTUAL start of rap. Nope. Using this sort of chanting, rhyming, rhythmic form has been used periodically by different musical artists. This certainly isn't the first, but here is Charlie Daniels demonstrating his "rap music" bonifides in the Pop/Country crossover space. Here is Uneasy Rider (1973), which predates the Rapper's Delight by 6 years. Of course there are certainly other examples earlier than this. And psychopaths may very well be in love with both of these songs. I find all of this very interesting.
It goes back further than Uneasy Rider. There also might be a problem if you are equating rap/hip-hop to just rhythmic chanting. There are beats and music behind it that is different from previous artists rhythmic rhyming. Do you find it hard to credit minorities with contributions? Also @MojoMan, you do understand that right now, the study is in no way at all conclusive, right? They aren't on the verge of proving anything at this point. It isn't published, and they will have to have a wider sample of both test subjects and music from which to choose. For to draw any conclusions at all other than they need to do more testing would be unwise and not based on anything scientific at all.
