I dont think he is gonna be home for the holidays. SMH

FIRST? AWWWWL KEEP YA HEAD UP TI

Obviously he didn’t stay true to the “not gonna blow his chance” comment. Damn shame!!!!
~Ms.Sweets~

Nice cover - I seriously hope this young brother is not guilty as he has been charged,and has turned his life around. You have to be careful though - because we all reap what we sow.

hmmm…whateva…next!!!!!!!

He sounds intellectual in the interview…but the truth remains that obviously he wasn’t thinking about his great life and being around for his children when he pulled that DUMBASS move!!!!

Lord when will they learn to stop being boys and be MEN!!!!

Aaah TI you’ll be out soon even if it is house arrest. Keep ur head up and stay strong.

TI is lookin mad SEXY in these pics. I just hope he’s FINALLY RELEASED on Friday.

I wish him the best. I have always liked him and still do.

I LOVEEEEEEEE ME SOME T.I he’s def my skinny boo, but I gotta go along with #1. He def wont be home for the holidays and even if they do house arrest it has to be hurting him that he might get put away for a VERY VERY long time.

I’m sad about it. This is some messed up ish, but damn T.I you got caught up so I guess you gotta pay for it (even though it was all a set up damn snitches)

Ima cop that magazine though and regardless of his stupid stupid mistakes he’s still human and def a STAND UP DUDE regardless of what SOME ppl think.

he talikn bout the game is fake now but what about those fake fights he set up while he was on tour. remember there would just happen to be someone throwing somthin at him at the same time at every venue. I think the Chaka Zulu fight was staged too.

TIP IS 2 DOGG GONE SEXY! I UNDASTAND DAT LIL MAN, HUHBRUH!

He so cute but damn dummy move. I can’t remember who said it best about it is worth more in the long run to pay alot for arm security than to be locked up.

Am I the only one who noticed that in the pic with him putting the turkey in the damn oven he got a gun on his waist….thats the damn problem right there…damnit TI leave the guns alone…LOL

If you look CLOSELY at Picture # 2 (Ti for Comple # 2), you will see Ti Placing a Turkey in a Gas Oven, while smoking a Cigarette
and….
He has a Glock in his wasteband……

“A Mind is a Terrible Thing To Waste”

I’d find him sexier if he bulks up a bit. Too skinny for me. He needs to swtich to the Mo’Nique diet-plan for a couple of weeks and hit the gym

notice how all the male commenters will have something negative to say about T.I….Haters. Ne ways hope that T.I. will grow-up and learn that the thug mentality is for LOSERS!

TI your bunhole is in danger!!!! Keep that head up, hopefully they will give you house arrest. Ive have never seen a nicca roasting a turkey w/heat on the side, give it a rest, we know you “gangsta” yadayadayada! Im wondering what the judge ill decide when he see this in this mag??!! You wanna live the gangsta life they will most certianly accomadate you!

Cover looks gay.

mrs sands:

Bill Said:

The Judge will think to himself “Why should I give him house arrest, when he can’t even cook a meal at home without having a pistol in his wasteband”…….

…By hey, he’s keeping it Gangster !

aww, he looks so young on that cover

Stay strong T.I. you have my support boi…

I love that Big Things Choppin apron lmao..

TIP is cool but he gets the most love and respect almost like he can do no damn wrong….he’s gettin all these well wishes if it was that nicca weezy baby then we’d really see some backlash on these blogs
GTFOH

yeah real “stand up dude” with all them babies and he ain’t married to nobody’s mama. next!
this cover is an instant collector’s item though.

I really like T.I. and I don’t like too many rappers. Terrible what he is going through, but he brought it on himself…by the way, is it just my computers, but this site shuts down like 3-4 times every time I get on with Internet Explorer. Then that damn add pops up while I’m reading and makes me have to scrool back down. Just me venting about my fustrations with the site as of late. Other than that I love it. Just a little aggravated.

If I wuz Tip I would stay as far away from weapons as I can.

Damn T.I. .. weren’t you just on hiphop verse america?? set an example man.. we went over this. so sad.. but still got luv for u. just waiting for you to be released so u can tell the truth.. or ur side.

Complex should not have had him pose with a knife in his hand. He already looks coo-coo enough.

Innocent until proven guilty…

House arrest and monitoring = no threat to society…

Business execs backing his release…

Bond MUST be granted… if not its a gross usage of Justice

I love the 2nd picture. It kind of reminds me of some of my uncles. They be in the kitchen, smoking, drinking and talking sh*t while cooking the damn butterball turkey. Yep, those some good memories.

look at dude in the trunk *smh*

http://i42.photobucket.co...ko/ticomplexmagazine4.jpg

He looks cute on this cover. Too bad to his current situation. SMH

All I can say is..if he did that bullshyt I can’t feel sorry for him…
Those kids will def miss their daddy…all 4 of of em

LMAO @ #33. Where did you find that pic???

Um T.I. is in jail right now right?

When did they do this interview? lol

guess he wasn’t kidding with that Tip vs. T.I. shit…..maybe he can use that as his defense…Tip did it! What idiots allowed a convicted felon to be photographed with a gun at his waist? SMH…..

FREE T.I., but shame on him for that oven pic. I’m still a fan TIP, A-Town all day!!

@26 once you get on da site let evthing load b4 u scroll down. now just call me crazy but i really feel like this was a set up na he did not have 2 fall 4 it no but i feel the body guard had a motive to work for him @ the start meaning he was put there to get T.I.P from the start hey remem belly… the goverment is so DURTY i also feel like they do not want blacks to be here take it for a joke if you want to EVERYBODY PLEASE SUPPORT THE BLACKOUT ON NOVEMBER 2,2007 DON’T SPEND ANY MONEY ONLY IN OUR COMMMUNTIY WITH OUR PEOPLE THIS IS FOR THE INJUSTICE THAT WE THE BLACK RACE ARE EXPERIENCING IT WILL BE ON CNN SOON WARREN VALENTINE IS GONNA TALK ABOUT IT AND VOTE OBAMA 08 AND IM GONE!

#40: It was indeed a set up, but T.I. was still wrong and I won’t deny that. He had some much going for himself, so he should’ve just made the $$$$ and took his own advice from one his songs “Be Easy”. I pray he has favor his this case, but at the end of the day he did this to himself.

The Blackout thing is cool, but alot of ppl will spend money on American Gangster…or is that ok?

I love me some T.I.
It’s a shame he was involved in something soooo ridiculous.
He had everything a person could hope for in life & he just had to go and F%$&* it up.
I don’t even know what to hope for.
He broke the law, he deserves to pay for what he did.
At the same time I can’t stop asking whyyyyyy?!

Another one bites the dust.

You now what..you guys are some of the most triffling, cynical, unloving, judgemental people I have ever seen in all my life!(I really don’t care if the words are spelled correctly or not) Have you all ever even heard of someone being set up!! I mean really can you give a man a break. You people make me sick sitting around passing judgement! Who the heck died and made you small minded people the regulator. AAARRRGHHH!

Set up or not you have to be smarter then that, that’s what the informants are out there for, to set dudes up. Its not something to take lightly, but because TI followed through with the deal he’s in some serious trouble right now, not to mention his past record. I don’t think brothers are hating on TI but he needs to get his life in order if he gets out, if not then you already know what it is. Most of the dudes in here are calling it how they see it, you have to be able to see things for what they are, a black man in this business with money who promotes negativity in the majority of his songs, the brother didn’t put too much positive music out there, I swear on his last album I was tired of hearing the same gun talk track after track, not the whole album but the majority of it. Brothers need to step it up with there lyrics, and stop promoting nonsense for the youth.

I hope his ass makes it home for turkey damn….little ass.

T.I probably in jail mean muggin like hell, keepin them negros at bay with his pretty self….if i were him, i’d she shakin like a leaf.

Why does he have a pistol on his waist?
Why was he saying he gonna be there for his kids?
Why is he saying he gonna be home for the holidays?
Why did he talk all that positive shit on Hip Hop vs. America?
Why is he so damn skinny?
Why he ask for change back from the purchase of the guns?
Why did he trust someone he barely knew to do this purchase (snitch)?
Why purchase guns when your bodyguard has them and u already have 3 strikes?

Damn T.I. I hope you make it out and get your life straight cause you are hurting your family along with hurting yourself . I still love ya though, no doubt about that.

oops, two strikes

@40 T.I and denziel has been paid for the movie no DON’T GO the 3rd won’t hurt we got to do da dawn thing our lives R @ risk

whoever likes ti is a homo and that magazine cover explains it all damn faggots

You can only be set up if you’re doing something wrong in the first place.
That is all.

Is it me or is no one mentioning him smacking Chaka Zulu?

he smacked him???

Florida Evans said it best….damn, damn, damn!

I hope he get a second chance. I think he just made a stupid mistake.Anyway he look good on the cover.

T.I. is hot but he knew better than to put his self in that situation. It’s like Mo’Nique said we are just one bad decision away

can someone tell me exactly what he did.
I know he in jail and i saw all the guns, but why is it this serious.
What did he say on tape, I know he was recorded.
Someone help me out here.

TI should have been holding a machine gun instead of a knife……..

@51 don’t be ridiculous..that is the definition of set up.” to cause somebody to be caught and blamed for something “

It’s funny becuase I’m looking at these threads with Brandy and this one with T.I. Some might wonder what they have in common, I would say its legal troubles but the difference is people are have been bending over backwards to give T.I. the benefit of the doubt but still scince the accident happened I hear people throing around the term “murderer” with brandy norwood like people got a grudge which fucks my head up how peopel could just throw that word around like that.

Another difference is the fact that this nigga KNEW he was wrong and was in and out of jail through out most of his adult life for shit like that yet let niggaz tell it the body gaurd duct taped the uzi’s with the silencers *smh* to his hand and the cops kicked down the door at that moment.

Yet Brandy who wasn’t drinking wasn’t under the influence of anything doesnt have a history of doing any thing like that or anything of the sort was involved in an auto accident that resulted in the death of a woman and people tearing her black ass up. I never understand why we give the ones who know they wrong (oj im looking in your direction) the benifit fo the doubt and crucifie others I never understood that about black people.

I really think T.I is being setup!!! Did anyone see him on Punk’d? In that episode, T.I and his entourage boarded the plane. As all their bags were being loaded a dog started barking over one bag that belonged to T.I. The prank was that T.I was being blamed for carrying bullets that was planted. Anyway, you should have seen him. He was extremely cooperative and even rebuked a guy in his entourage for not being cooperative. Anytime he wanted to speak he raised his hands and at any time answered like “No, Sir” or “Yes, Sir”. Anyway, the point is that he made a comment once the bullets was brought to light. T.I said that he was on probation (I think for 17 years) and that he doesn’t carry guns and wouldn’t do anything like that. My point is T.I ain’t that stupid. Does everybody think every black man or rapper is stupid? T.I has a record and he knows better. They might be trying to find somebody and using him as bait holding a past issue against him. He probably doesn’t even have guns…where’s the proof? And I heard they came in his crib breaking windows and smashing the doors when they had him in his sight. They even threw tear gas in the room where his family was….dirty…T.I.’s locked up TI’s being set up

yeah ofcoarse it was a setup. It’s impossible for a convicted felon to to attempt to engage in illigal activity. T.I. is a political prisoner . *Does his best black concpiracy theorist impression* His only crime is being young…. black ….and famous in america. T.I was innocently was playing p-nuckle when the popo kicked the door in.

When are black people going to stop giving people the benifit of the doubt when they commit a crime becuase we like their music. It’s sad but I see what white people are tallking about now.

LMFAO #33

T.I. is so small
Styll cute though…

Guys read this statement from the TI/Complex interview:

Complex:
You’re the only rapper to drop platinum albums the last two years. How can you say you don’t fit in?
T.I.: When I saw Tupac talking that “Thug Life” shit, getting locked up for shooting police, and getting shot and living, that’s when I was like, Damn, them niggas is really about that shit. Now you’re just let down. This ain’t this guy that he was on this record. And nobody seems to have a problem with it. It’s a lot of fake shit in it. I like to consider myself an intelligent person, and this shit is not something of intelligence anymore. It’s getting real young and stupid, and that ain’t me.

Now this right here kinda pissed me off…” I like to consider myself an intelligent person, and this shit is not something of intelligence anymore. It’s getting real young and stupid, and that ain’t me.” AND “I got a great life and wonderful children, and I do intend to be here to guide them for the rest of their lives, and that’s what’s most important to me.”

You know what those statements just prove Tip KNEW better than to place himself in his now fycked up situation! Regardless of if he was setup or not TI realized how much he had to lose and how he should always keep his kids in mind before he did some stupid crap. The saddest part is he IS an intelligent man…he just didn’t care and thought he was above the law, Tip knows right from wrong and what he should or shouldn’t do.

This just goes to show you God works in mysterious ways…if you think you are going to be running around living foul and then preaching about how you have become a different individual or how you are above foolishness it WILL catch up to you. Thats just as horrible as a pastor who preaches the word every Sunday and then gets caught picking up a prostitute off the street (ahem Mase anyone lol). The Lord does not bless mess…hopefully TI will stop playing with himself and get it together because life is not a game.

Opps my apologies for writing sooo much!!! Also, I am a TI fan…been one such 2001 and I realize he is only human but he had bigger things to focus on, has been down this tedious road before and he has been very blessed. There are only so many chances or warnings a person can be given before all hell breaks loose.

*since 2001…

TI sounds like he’s intellectually talking a load of shit

@#26 2Blessed. You are sooo right about this site always going to ads and cutting off. It didnt use to cut off. Now its hard to read one post completely. Thats why I dont come here as much as I use to. Too frustrating.

Anywho my thoughts on TI is I dont understand how someone with so much to lose would get caught in that foolishness.

Why the hell didnt he have front men to go pick up guns for him and do all the transactions w/o him getting involved? He should have never gotten close to those transactions being made. TI why didnt you just have someone drop the guns in a safe house or something? I dont get it.

Wouldn’t it had been ironic/funny if his apron said “Big Things Poppin” and he was just arrested on the gun charges? hahahaha

If you are blessed to have made it out the hood and have MILLIONS of $$$ and a great family, WHY THE HELL ARE U BUYIN MACHINE GUNS IN THE PARKING LOT?

Come on Clifford!

I wonder how the movie will do with all this TI drama. I also wonder how Denzel and the castmates feel with a real life “thug” being a co-star. Has anyone noticed on tv that the trailers no longer showcase TI for ticket sales. I think they are trying to remain positive through all the madness.

See what happens when Hollywood lets rappers premiere in films instead of hiring real actors.LOL

I guess the smack was irrelevant.

#43 are you on his payroll or something! I mean you make it seem like this dude is innocent as pie with no past record to speak of. we are only calling it like we see it! the dude was dumb to put his family, career and life at risk. he was not some innocent bystander who was caught in the cross-fire. he was trying to buy machine guns and he is a felon! he is wrong simple as that. the facts are the facts. I am so tired of people putting celebrities on a pedastal. if this was some average dude walking around your neighrbood trying to buy machine guns you would not want him arrested? would you care that he can rap or act? I think not…grow up. if you do wrong and get caught you pay the consequences.

the only he needs right now is to go to jail, period
you make choices in life and you got to have the balls to assume the consequences of your actions, now thats gangsta……………………………
all that rapping…i`m this ,i`m that, gun this, gun that…….real gangstas are not apologetic for they do, they do stuff and stand up to it,
so T.I man up and go to jail and eat rat food cause thats all you deserve
somebody should have informed that idiot that as a convicted felon posessiong a gun will send you back to the slammer

its too early for this bull shit

I’M NOT FOR THIS MAN NOR AM I AGAINST HIM

I RESPECT HIM THOUGH, HE SEEMS THOROUGH AND TRUE TO WHAT “HE” BELIEVES AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HE DON’T TAKE NO SHORTS FROM NOBODY ALTHOUGH HE’S A “LITTLE” GUY-I LIKE THAT “MACHISMO”

HE DID IN FACT STATE THAT HE WAS TOO OLD FOR THAT GANGSTA NONSENSE AND THAT HE HAS CHILDREN TO LIVE FOR–I BELIEVE THIS MAN IS A PRODUCT OF HIS ENVIRONMENT AND IS OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO SHED HIS PAST AND MOVE FORWARD WITH HIS LIFE

I PRAY THAT THINGS WORK OUT FOR THIS MAN, ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE HIM , NONE OF US KNOW WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR THIS MAN’S LIFE……
