VIDEO: Don’t blame hip-hop: Boston rapper Slaine talks Boston Marathon bombings

Boston rapper Slaine — who some might know better from his burgeoning Hollywood career (The Town, Killing Them Softly) — spoke out about the connections some are drawing between deceased bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s musical tastes and his violent actions, in an interview with MTV on Friday. “Millions and millions and millions of kids listen to hip-hop and they don’t blow up bombs at public events to kill innocent women and children,” the La Coka Nostra rapper, whose son and son’s mother were at the marathon that day, said. True dat.
