Dead Bombing Suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev Heavy Into Hip Hop
Dead Bombing Suspect Heavy Into Hip Hop
The older brother who was killed and suspected in the Boston bombings was deep into hip hop, and it appears he belonged to a fan website that touted that genre of music.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev has an email associated with the website, "Real-hiphop.com."
The site provides information about hip hop artists and upcoming DVD releases.
What's interesting ... hip hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women. Tamerlan Tsarnaev has a boxing profile in which he says he doesn't take his shirt off much because he doesn't want women to get bad ideas, adding, "I'm very religious." This statement is significantly more conservative than the hip hop genre.
