He sounds like he learned his lesson but if I was a kid in this day and age I would be hard pressed to listen to anything TI has to say about violence, staying in school, etc. He is so not the poster child for any of that. But good for him if he’s really gotten the message that what he did was foolish and irresponsible; for himself, his not going anywhere baby mama and his six children.

I love how they chose to show the part of the show where he’s pumpin the air saying “need yo body wantcho body” right after they made the declaration that he had changed his life around! They could have done a better job than that for cryin out loud!! LOL.

But good for him. I think he’s actually in the perfect position to talk to kids- they respect him, but can also see what that train of thought can do.

#10 I cringed when I saw that (LOL). I didn’t realize he has 6 kids, dang! Anyway, I like T.I.P and I am glad that he hasn’t ended up like Pac and Big and we would be celebrating his success after his demise. I sooo hope he really “has it” and stays his butt out of trouble, he too little to survive in jail (LOL)

Much Success & Love to T.I—I understand his desire to protect himself. I am sure some Hater wanted him dead. Hopefully, he will find a way to do it LEGALLY without falling into another trap–Prison.

TIP is great to talk to the kids. Yes he has songs about drugs and violence, but any true TIP fan knows that on all his albums from IM SERiOUS to PAPER TRAIL he has songs about consequences, or songs that aren’t very violent, like a look into how he’s really thinking, esp Be Better Than Me…..and Still Aint Forgave Myself

Still Aint Forgave Myself (Im Serious)
I Still Luv U (Trap Muzik)
TI vs TIP (Trap Muzik)
Be Better Than Me (Trap Muzik)
Praying for Help (Urban Legend)
Live In the Sky (King)
My Type (TI vs TIP)

I can go on….

SO TRUE 10 and 11!
I LOVE HOW CNN won’t miss a beat to make a Black man look bad! They didn’t spend those extra seconds to zoom in on a clip of him talking to those kids though, did they! Hmph!! FOX and CNN: what media assholes..

(I do kinda give kudos for CNN even attempting to give insight to the Black family in their Black Family mini series.. THEY MISSED A WHOOOOLE LOT though)

We see right through them! Hello Journalism/ Mass Comm. 101 class takers!

Better late then never T.I.—I am a proud fan. You message in your music is totally different and you STILL crushing the charts. You showing the haters you can give it to them anyway they want it and you still gonna come out on top. Good Luck to you and your family…don’t let anyone break your stride.

TI is the BIDNESS! This publicity relating to the gun charges have turned out to be a blessing in disguise. 1) He was able to find out that he had snitch(es) in his entourage; 2) he’s giving back to the community to speaking to teens, some of whom could very well be “at risk”; 3) brought him closer to spiritual growth; 4) shows his children that parents make mistakes but a real MAN will take responsibility for his actions and apologize; AND 5) speak intelligently during interviews whether TV and/or radio and NOT speak ill words about his baby mama’s accusations regarding child support!

TI is THA damn MAN.com! I applaud him! (loud applause and whistles)

Whatever he is stupid. You have everything going for you and you mess it up by trying or buying some guns. IDIOT!!! This is not the first time he’s been in trouble since he became a star. So how many times does it take to learn that you can’t break the law? He’s got 6 kids, not married to the mothers, and is a felon. Sorry, you don’t get a pass because your cute and a rapper with a number one album.
