Internet sleuths have dug up Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Twitter account, which provides a glimpse into the young man’s mind.
Tsarnaev appears to be a Jay-Z fan, tweeting a line from Hov’s 2001 single “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love)” on the day he and his brother allegedly planted two bombs that killed three people and injured 176.
“Ain’t no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people,” he tweeted.
“Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The City” is a 1974 R&B song written by Michael Price and Dan Walsh and recorded by Bobby “Blue” Bland. The song has been sampled numerous times, including Whitesnake’s version in 1980.
The 19-year-old Cambridge resident also appears to be a fan of Dr. Dre and Eminem. He tweeted Eminem’s verse from the 2000 track “Forgot About Dre” the day after the marathon.
He quoted, “Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got somethin to say but nothin comes out when they move their lips; just a bunch of gibberish”
As Gawker noted, he also quoted other artists on his Twitter, including Kanye West (“Mercy”), Michael Jackson (“Smooth Criminal”), Peter Frampton (“Baby, I Love Your Way”) and Paul McCartney (“Maybe I’m Amazed”).
Tsarnaev’s last tweet on his feed was on Wednesday, two days after the bombing. “I’m a stress free kind of guy,” he wrote.
Buzzfeed confirmed @J_tsar is Tsarnaev’s actual Twitter. His classmate, Stefanie Gardner, told the site: “I would confirm this as to being his Twitter account. Those users went to my high school.”
Tsarnaev is known as “Suspect No. 2″ and is still on the loose.
