FREE T.I.P!

Oh WELL TI! NEXT TIME THINK!

he should plead insanity and blame the guns on T.I.P.

Damn this whole T.I situation is sooooo effin’ crazy. Wasn’t he just talkin’ bout all the positive stuff that he’s now doing now on that BET “Hip-Hop vs. America” special then this goes down???? Bruthas seriously can’t catch a break but then again I can see why…..

I love T.I but this was a dumb move…….

Damn, they are not playing any reindeer games!

3.7 million dollar bond???

But damn if he don’t look good… simply scrumptious lol…

okay, that’s it….

A convicted felon with guns…completely illegal. There’s no way I have any pity for this fool.

I am too thru with these black RICH men making these types of desicions! Whateva happens happens! dammit.

At least he won’t go to jail with big bertha shooooooooooooooooot this is good news. He will be forced to spend time with his wife and kids, and that is a good thing. Think of it as family bonding.

lol@ #3

Maybe I am not getting the whole picture but is this really that serious for them to be denying his bail good grief. I mean did anybody get hurt or did someone die if not then free the man and make him do some community service or something damn can a black man get a break.

Leg shackles? Damn. All I can do is shake my head at this coonery. Johnnie Cochran’s dead and Michael Vick is going to jail — don’t look to good for T.I.

angel, you better credit sandra rose for that update!

rotflmao@#3,that was a good one

i love me some t.i and hate to talk against my fellow black people but what pisses me off about T.I and Michael Vick is that they have all this money and power and do stupid shit like this.WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL DO YOU NEED WITH A MACHINE GUN?i mean lets be serious,you already have all these people blaming the smallest shit that their children do on “music” and “rappers”i just dont get it,i really want to hear his explanation of why he wanted these guns

HA HA HA! CHARGE IT 2 DA GAME, CHARGE IT 2 DA GAME AND FREE TIP! MONEY TALKS, YA DIG!

I remember when John Gotti Jr. was placed under house arrest (With the FEDS)
and he had to qualify for similar stipulations…..

Holding bond, and maybe possible house arrest. Well, hopefully this is an eye opener, and get him to realize he need to get it together. How many times do you have to go to jail to figure that out?

Please release T.I he was set up by a little bit** I mean snitch and he needs the opprotunity to prove himself I think that house arrest is a great idea for the man! Prayers for Tiny and the family :(

I hope he will learn from this mistake and get out of this a better man.

Damn he is fine! I bet Tiny is going to be tearin him up the whole time he’s on house arrest! Hell…I know I would!!!

O yea… FREE TIP!

T.I. was dropped from a movie he was about to film with Danny Glover uh no surprise.

Pictures of Ti’s Guns

http://projects.ajc.com/g...w/metro/atlanta/guns1016/

And it is sad but true but if he were white then he would have been granted bail and then some when it first occured. Poor TI I hope he gets out soon!!!

#24 Uh no not really I had a friend who was White that did the exact same thing and he got TEN years. BU tthen again he isn’t a celebrity.

I cosign with #8. T.I. and all these other rich rappers make hip-hop look bad. Why can’t they just take the money and enjoy life. I know that he is in some dangerous situations sometimes, but him walking around with a machine gun is only going to make a heated argument turn into something worse. Plus he is a felon and should have known better. whatever happens, happens! he was not set up by the snitch. he set his own damn self up! and please this man is a felon, that is why the bond is so high. he has already proven that he can’t follow the law so you get punished for it the second time around….please don’t make this into a race issue!

Damn # 13, I’m pretty sure Angel will give credit where credit is due…deep breath deep breath out..try it.
Okay on to the topic at hand.
In the great words from the momma of Good Times, DAMN DAMN DAMN!
This whole case is crazy. Its hard to see someone who was doing so good, all of a sudden get so down (not for long). Overall I just hate to see a black man down.
I’m seeing and hearing T.I’s name everywhere…especially places you would never hear about him, for example CNN, MSNBC, local news, and news radio.
Media thrives when they see a black man down, because they feel it proves a point.
I wish T.I a speedy return…FREE T.I.

smh at this madness. Well we’ll see what happen next Friday. Clearly he wasn’t supposed to have guns nso I can’t pity him on this one.

@ #13…..Angel does not have to credit no Sandra Rose. I just found out about this from CNN where Sandra Rose more than likely got her info from. lol @ ppl thinking her site is a legit source of real information.

Yeah, i knew he would’t get bail. He probably won’t next week time either. I assumed it would also be a few million because he’s a high flight risk.

It’s not looking good for him. Just the fact that this is his 3rd strike will have him looking at some double digit numbers, before u even bring in all those gun charges. He should have plead guilty and tried to plea a lighter sentence. I hope his lawyers are up to something with that “not guilty” foolishness though, seems stupid to me.

@ #23– I just checked that out…. Was this dude really serious???

[…] Check it out! While looking through the blogosphere we stumbled on an interesting post today.Here’s a quick excerptT. I. , whose real name is Clifford Harris, Jr. , was also arraigned on federal gun charges today where he entered a plea of not guilty, as was expected…. […]

uh #25 yes it is and yeah it was becuase your friend was not a celeb but where we come from (ti and I) if he were white he would get different treatment ( I.E ROBERT DOWNY JR.,KIEFER SUTHERLAND ETT

I KNOW MURDERERS WHOSE OUT ON BOND WITH LESS BOND CONDITIONS THAT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING T.I. HAS TO MEET. OH WELL, PRICE OF FAME.

Have y’all seen Ti’s Guns ???
That brother is in a LOT of trouble……

http://projects.ajc.com/g...w/metro/atlanta/guns1016/

EHHH I REALLY DONT BUSINESS ABOUT T.I. THE WHOLE STORY IS GETTING ON MY NERVES NOW…

BUT I HOPE TINY WILL BE ALRIGHT!

In many ways I feel sorry for T.I. But, he needs to be slapped… When this story first hit the media I thought that his body guard is on some shady stuff. I honeslty, believe his body guard set it up for him to get caught. Clifford Harris needs to get out of this idea of always wanting to become this bad guy . He’s making millions, a girlfriend that looks like a HOT GHETTO MESS most of the time, a tribe full of children. What in the world are you trying to get all of these weapons for?? I know he’s not going to Iraq to fight no war. I’m sick and tired of brothas being caught up in the system all of the time. Thats a reason why strong black women like myself is always frustrated because of something like this. I applauded him when he was on BET for Hip Hop vs. America. I would have rather listened to him then wack single Nelly any day. I guess he’s one of those hard headed guys.. How many times are you going to get into trouble to realize that it’s not worth it. He’s going to have a good movie coming out in Nov.2007 things are (were) going well for him. Leave that gangster rap whatever you call it to the youngsters.

Damn. Free T.I. That’s a shit load of money for bond. But hell, I’m from the A and I know how the legal system gets down. Those clowns are always trying to get a nigga. These rap artists better start listening and stop sleeping on Chamillionaire. He said to watch out for the Hip Hop Police. They damn sure don’t wanna see a nigga get up outta the hood. FREE T.I.P. We’re rooting for ya T.I.

FREE TIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

” I mean did anybody get hurt or did someone die if not then free the man and make him do some community service or something damn can a black man get a break.”

If that same black man came into your neighbourhood with all that amunition would you say “give him a break” then? He had silencers for goodness sakes. He has already been in trouble and violated his probation. How many chances should he get? Would you prefer he kill someone first? Would that be satisfactory for you?

T.I is nothing but A POSER.

You reap what you sow. Do the crime, do the time. You are a convicted felon…..you should know better. You set yourself up, sad to say. Learn from it, do the time, and move on.

Wow, for house arrest they want someone from a security company living on the property? Is this normal for house arrest? Poor T.I. i feel bad for him.

I think T.I. was setup the whole story sounds fishy. more money more problems. the body guard sounds like he was hating hard. i don’t think they were his guns for real but that’s just my opinion i don’t believe everything i hear because not everyone tells the truth but i know for sure there’s something not right with this story they act like he killed somebody or something. this world is crazy.

ITS OBVIOUS!!!…they are NOT Freeing T.I……………..FREE Chi Ali & Shyne!!!

“And it is sad but true but if he were white then he would have been granted bail and then some when it first occured.”

TOTALLY DISAGREE.

Some of you are taking this too far. Wrong is wrong.

i wonder what his intentions were? what a dumb ass

“uh #25 yes it is and yeah it was becuase your friend was not a celeb but where we come from (ti and I) if he were white he would get different treatment ( I.E ROBERT DOWNY JR.,KIEFER SUTHERLAND ETT”

Robert Downy went to jail. Also,Keifer got a couple of months if I’m not mistaken. Taking drugs and drunk driving is wrong,but puchashing fire arms with silencers shows intent-especially because he is a repeat offender.

Damn TI

“shackles on my feet so i can i dance, i just wanna praise ya, i just wanna praise ya”, anyone remember this song?

Without passing judgment on TI’s case, why would the courts consider a $3.7 million bond. How many americans can meet such a bond. I thought the constitution was supposed to protect us from cruel and unusual punishment.
This is the only part of the stipulation that really got my interest.

Bill Said:

3.7 Million is nothing to Ti
Remember he gave his bodyguard $12,000.00 in cash in which to buy guns ?

Ti’s house must be worth at least 2 Million dollars alone.
Here’s a Picture of Ti’s House…It’s a Mansion
http://projects.accessatl...allery/view/music/ti1014/

wow they bout to sit this dude under the jail

Overrated ass mess, thats what he is. I don’t bow down to this guy and his music like others, so it won’t affect me what happens to him. If he’s done the crime, he does the time!! SMH, even with all the money, a lot of them still cant keep away from this shit.

those crackers actin like the man killed an entire country. all that bond requirement is not necessary, its crazy they spending all that money on prosecuting TIP when they should be spending the tax payers money on lockin up those perverts out there that like to have sex with kids. the united states is fucked up and got there priorities messed up! man fuck this shit, im movin to canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FREE T.I.P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prayer changes things!!!

My opinion, with all the money fame, and fortune that this man has…
The mistakes he made and how they are gone prtray it in court, and please take a sec and think about this ppl b4 ya’ll go yelling “FREE TI”, and start rocking the shirts….think about:

1. I am sure when he was in jail and got convicted the first time…they TOLD him : “Clifford you are not to be in posseion of any fire arms, controled substances…etc” (So is he above the law, does he not have to obey)

2. A Slicencer….hell the average person with some type of common sense would veiw this as “intent”…and thats what they are gonin to present that as. (…machine guns…collector my foot)

3. You hire someone to do your dirty work…{you have sense enough to get some1 else to do your dirty work, that means you know u not suppose to be soing what your doing) {confused look}

No symthpthy hear whats so ever…and PLEASE lets not make this a race issue ppl….I am black, I live in Atlanta… (adamsville), so Im legit {lol}

im just saying - Britney dropped 2.3 kids on the ground, hit coke, meth and oregano in front of the kids, hit 17 cars and ran over 73 papparazzi, when the f*c is she going to jail.

Bill,
I know that TI could raise these funds(according to Forbes he made $16million last year). However my point is that i believe $3.7 million is excessive. If a bond is being considered it should be based on the case and the character of the assailant - not on one’s wealth. How much would Bill Gates have to come up with(joke).

@40 AY LOOK FIRST OFF LETS NOT TALK ABOUT DOING THE TIME UNTIL WE KNOW FOR SURE HE DID THE CRIME DAMN YOU READY TO SEE A NIGGA IN JAIL DAMN!!!!!!

@#55 WHY WOULD T.I. NEED YOUR SYMPATHY ANYWAY YOU NOT EVEN ON HIS LEVEL!! WTF

LOL @ #48- that was funny! Even though a very dumb move on T.I.’s part, I think it’s very sweet that Jeezy and other industry people went to the court in support of him.

T.I., 50, Jay Z and their glorification of violence is the real issue that should be under scrutiny when it comes to hip hop music.

And I include Jay Z too because this whole “American Gangster” concept-movie included- is nothing but glorifying blacks involvement in gangs and the drug trade. Jay Z himself said that maybe Kingdom Come was “too sophisticated” so he resorting back to the more “edgy” content.

When setting bail they are not only setting it for his current offense but take what he was on probation for in the first place into consideration.

You are not talking about a person with a few misdemeanors but a FELON or PAROLE. It doesnt matter what color you are if you are a FELON on probation and you do something that gets the FEDS involved you are going to get no leniency

Everybody wanna keep saying the justice system in the “A” wants to keep a black man down.

WELL DON’T GIVE THEM A REASON. THE FEDS AREN’T GOING DOOR TO DOOR SELLING INDICTMENTS, HELLO, WAKE UP!

I love T.I. but that nigga made a dumb move that he needs to pay for. He hasn’t killed anoyone yet but what did he plan on doing with them? YOu got all that money and still want to act like you in the streets. If you feel like your life is being threatened then stay in your mansion for awhile and away from the streets. FALL BACK.

And there is nothing wrong with buying guns but there is something wrong with trying to buy them ILLEGALLY when you are a CONVICTED FELON. DAMN!

t really hurts me to see that people really feels that someone deserves jail, prison or hell as I refer to it. He has come a long way from drug dealing to now reaching millions of people through a trade that he has mastered. Now, dont get it twisted GOD AIN’T THROUGH WITH HIM yet, and he has a lot of growing up to do, but I respect him for the progress he has made. What I don’t respect are ignorant cowards who constantly bring into light the negative about people and dont allow the positive to shine. My prayers are with TI and his children, hopefully he will be out to be with them soon and hopefully he is in there thinking of ways to positively grow and ways to make better decisions in the future.
Incarceration does not rehabilitate, it handicaps. Incarceration is a huge reason why we as African Americans will never fully prosper these men go into a facility which does not counsel them on how to be better. When they are released they are faced with rejection and the inability to move forward. TI needs someone to counsel him on what it takes to be a better man so he can raise those children of his who are the future of African American people. By the way if TI is found guilty then Dick Cheney and John Popper to mention a few Caucasian gun collectors should also be incarcerated. Also for those who say they don’t care cause he doesn’t do ish for us individually, you should care cause he does for us as a people. The fact is when the census bureau results reflect that we african americans are not amongst the weathiest racial group it affects the loans we recieve, our political input and not to mention our growth as a people.

I love me some TI and I am going to reserve judgment until it comes down. I really hope that it is a set up because a known felon who is high profile looking to buy a machine gun through a bodyguard who is rolling on him seems out of this world. I am really hoping that TI’s game is tighter than that.

TI was a hustler before he was a rapper. Either he put his trust in the wrong person or this is a set up. However, as a convicted felon caught in the act of purchasing illegal guns, he shouldn’t be allowed bail. This *SCREAMS* celebrity justice…

You don’t hunt animals with silencers or machine guns. This goes beyond gun collecting. These were loaded guns that would have been used if felt necessary.

T.I. don’t drop the soap! lol. His fans might want to consider sending their boy a toothbrush and lighter in the mail ; )

aww my boo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they want us all(blk male) in jail or prison…..they want all useless muslim men in prison

they want us all(blk male) in jail or prison…..they want all useless muslim men in prison…real talk….the enemy will sleep better at night once they have us contained …its something bout our swag that make em grit their teeth and fill up with rage…just because you type out “im black” when you are on blogs dont necessarily mean ya blk lol lol….racism will never die & there is NO God

@#58…..LET IT GO! They got that nucca on tape asking about the guns and when can he pick them thangs up. And he asked for his change back from the $12,000. It’s a wrap, he guilty as hell. Don’t blame me, blame T.I. I guess Tip would have never done such a thing. LOL!

ummm Denzel Said he wouldn’t do American Gangster UNLESS Frank Lucas paid for his crime and the MOVIE showed that. So before you say a movie is glorifying violence umm no it does not the moive doesn’t even have a lot of violence in it according to critics.

Free TI for what? Let’s be real this dude brings nothing to the table that should be up for a true discussion, what is TI promoting in the music, listen to the album, that shit is garbage, how many dudes can you kill on an album. We keep selling dreams to our people, and ya’ll want this dude out of jail for what again? This guy is not a political prisoner, he has done nothing to warrant a Free TI movement, people out here are getting killed daily, and with guns in the wrong hands do you think the killing will stop?

To #70 what does that have to do wtih dumb decisions, that has nothing to do with swag or anything like that, were a threat because we have the genetic potential to wipe out the white race, melanin is powerful and people who lack melanin are genetically inferior to those who have it, the threat is deeper then someone trying to uphold a gangster image, instead of talking reckless on tracks put something positive out there for once, change the mindstate for others who just rely on music for inspiration. Its like TI was getting ready for war.

I do not feel sorry for him ! Did ya’ll see those guns! what was he trying to do go to war? For someone who is a felon he should of been a little smarter than what he displayed. Anytime you are a rapper and someone ( a white man in the south especially) that you don’t know offers to get you machine guns you should be concerned.

In California most security guards for celebs who are white men, are normally off duty police officers or former/ retired officers.When they start changing locations get concerned. I thought he would of knew that. But anyways all that is NOT even important because he had no business with all that, I don’t care if he was just trying to brag or show off or whatever.
