Rapper T.I was sentenced on Friday to a year and a day for attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers.....I was impressed that he actually apologized for his actions and made 262 public appearences to tell kids about the dangers of gangs and drugs. Now thats a positive turn around for a rapper!

um first of all, yes it is a positive turn around but not all rappers are negative and neither was he necessarily. im sure you know some NON "RAPPERS" in your life or family that just got caught up in something trin to protect his family and himself for that matter after losin his best friend in an unwarranted shoot out in a city he was performing in.
sorry but that is my very favorite rapper and he is a very good lookin young man/individual who has risen from the slums of the hood and done something positive with his life overall. He took his negative experiences and put them on wax!! and made a killin $$$$$$$$ more than we will ever see on freebies. |

I think he completely turned around and made a positive road for him and other kids. I love TI and his songs are from the heart. Just glad he didn't get 30 years. Is hard when your losing people around you like the days go by and you don't know what to do. he did a mistake in the purchasing just glad he didn't get to do anything with it and now he could return to his family soon.

I think it's great that he apologized for what he did. He even had a reality show on MTV showing how he was trying to stop kids from going down the same path he did.
Now, at the end of the day, the publicity did help his records sales, so lets be honest about that. But at least it was from making a bad situation better. |

I agree with you on both parts as I watched the show with my teenagers who are 13, 15, 17, & 18 on multiple occassions.....his sincerity was shown in the manner that he tryed to help children from following down the same path that he did.....I was impressed and I love his new song.....Dead and Gone.....I just pray for his families sake and the sake of his children that he really has made the change for the better to become a better person.....
