What kind of music do you guys listen to when you study? I usually listen to slower rap/RnB and some motown..

Right now Kirko Bangz - Drank in my cup has been getting alot of plays during my study time

That Kirko Bangz song is the truth bruh. Actually has a lot of game in it.

I study to Digable Planets, that type of mellow, true old school hip hop, or old school 50's-70's Soul. Even the NeoSoul artists like D'Angelo flow through my speakers.
 
nothing that will make me dance - so no hiphop/r&b/rap. i prefer to stream classical/jazz or acid jazz internet radio stations. presently listening to the secret agent station.
 
You can study with music in the background? Lucky you.
That's what I was thinking! I'm not able to really focus with music in the background, but if I do need to play something to drown out other noises, it's probably going to be something mellow that I won't have the urge to groove to.
 
It depends on the subject but if I put something on it's going to be classical, jazz, or anything instrumental played at a fairly low level. When I was in undergrad I tried studying with loud thumping music and in retrospect I regret it. It didn't help that I wasn't focused to begin with.
 
If I'm just working out problems from chem, physics, or orgo then Alicia Keys station on Pandora.... anything that requires extensive reading like verbal or bio- then absolute quiet.
 
I used to study with rap/hip-hop music playing but I found that to be distracting. Now my permanent study music is the Yiruma station on Pandora. It's instrumental music (mainly piano).
 
I usually just make a list of all my favorite songs at the time and go to youtube and listen to the instrumentals. That helps me focus a lot. Especially on those days when I don't want to sit still.
