Truth About It October 2, 2008 at 8:24 am: Well….it’s not really “his” look…and being from PA has something to do with it, but not because of the Amish thing.

Check out pictures of the rapper, Freeway.

All types of cats up there have those beards (could be more of a Philly thing)….However, it also has to do the with fact that Freeway, Beanie Sigel, and other “crew” members are Muslim.

So, you can go ahead and start the “Rip Hamilton is a Muslim” rumors….actually, he might be….I don’t know…but not like it would matter to me anyway.
