TI Goes Halfway

Sam — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:51:38 +0000

Rapper TI was released from prison in Arkansas last week after serving seven months behind bars. The rapper’s lawyer said that he will be spending the rest of his sentence living in a halfway house. TI, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was sentenced to 366 days in the Forrest City penitentiary earlier this year after he was arrested in 2007 for sending his bodyguard out to buy machine guns and silencers. TI will be living in a halfway house in Georgia for the next three months. Once he completes his sentence, the rapper still has to complete 500 hours of community service and 23 days of house arrest.

TI is Stuck in the Middle

Sam — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 03:31:56 +0000

While TI isnâ€™t openly admitting to some of his legal problems, he is admitting that heâ€™s having trouble telling unregistered voters in DC â€œIf you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.â€ Someone should have thought about things more before pleading guilty to felony weapons charges and officially forfeiting his right to vote. However, the Hip Hop Caucus still selected the rapper as their official spokesperson justifying their decision by saying â€œ.I. can’t vote in this election and to come and encourage others to vote, especially young folks from disenfranchised communities, while he still is in the system, is an act of courage and great leadership. Felon disenfranchisement is a major issue that particularly impacts communities of color.â€

T.I. Wins

Sam — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 20:50:29 +0000

He may have been busted for making his bodyguard buy guns for him when heâ€™s a convicted felon whoâ€™s not allowed to buy firearms but that doesnâ€™t mean T.I. canâ€™t have some good news given to him.

T.I. won two awards out of nine nominations at the BET Hip Hop Awards last weekend. The southern rapper didnâ€™t walk the red carpet but he was in attendance for the show in one way or the other. News of his arrest got around which had some people talking. Rapper KRS-One said, â€œI’m saddened any time I hear of a hip-hopper being locked up or somehow being stunted in his life or his growth. I hope he wasn’t into nothing crazy.â€

Common won CD of the year along with T.I. and he decided to dedicate his win to him saying â€œI salute my guy T.I., who also won, wherever he is.â€
