Wasnt nothing wrong with what she asked…i mean i dont fault him for not answering because of the legalities of the case…but at the same time…he didnt need to get all sensitive and shit about what she asked…point blank the nigga fucked up…and his ass got lucky and got off with a slap on the wrist compared to wat he was facing.

One thing that people need to understand that YOU DONT NEED TO BE FUCKING HOOD TO BE CONSIDERED HIP HOP!!! Listen man, I grew up in the fucking hood, and most of the niggas I grew up with, we all talked about getting out of the hood…so if I am in a position to get out and I had the means, do u think i would do anything to fuck that up?? Come on now…WHAT THE FUCK does this silly ass nigga need with all those guns?? They shoulda threw the book at his ass…because the nigga needed to be taught a lesson. DOnt get me wrong, I am not hating, I actually really like the dude and his music, but NIggas cant keep parading around thinking that just because they have a little bit of money, they can do whatever the fuck they want and buy their freedom. that shit is lame for real!

btw 2Pac is in Cuba with Assata Shakur right now! Nah for real, He just sent me a postcard! Nigga is mad grey now!

My thing is would you keep asking R.kelly why he made the tape after he went through the humiliation of the case and people calling him every pervert in the book, then why keep asking t.i. about his case… this shit didn’t happen yesterday, and on top of it do any of y’all remember that t.i. was in the car when one of his best friends got shot and killed… if that was any of us with the access to what he had and facing circumstances at hand aint no telling what we would of did…

signing off, Hip Hop since 86′

he should not have a problem wit a fan asking him why he would risk his career and money over that.
these are the same fans u ask to go pick up your new album and buy 3 copies and dont download it. but when u risk your career, your fan cant ask u why?
walking a day in your shoes does not make a difference, he has no idea who that lady is and what life she lived.
tip has alot of security and guns, and he lived in a gated mansion, so dont tell me he worried about jackers tryin to steal his jewelry or sumthing.
he can have guns to protect his family and his life, but dont be madd at a fan for not wanting u rappers to risk your careers over guns. since ya’ll worked so hard to get here why would u wanna become a statistic

LOL @ him getting emotional and all she did was ask a QUESTION. She didn’t even really make a claim so its not like she judged him really…but he still acted like a female. His answer was not valid at all in response to that question. Why does she have to walk in his shoes just to ask a question?…Thats the whole point of asking the question in the first place, so he can explain his actions. TI my boy but that was some BS.

she asked a questions everyone who’s in the hood trying to get out would ask. you got all that money, status, nad fam and you go and risk it all over what?

I felt that he was offended and embarassed by her basically calling him dumb, but he answered it in the right way. His voice stayed calm, and like she expressed her feelngs he expressed his…

Imagine one of those suckas in the entourage asking your man how he breezed. That ni**a is a fedarale and thats the only explanation. Bet he wont be portrayed as a pig in any upcoming movies!

His answer is valid too. Unless you know all of the facts about his life, the threat or non-threats and his motivation to take such a risk, you can’t be overly critical either. But like he said, ya’ll here to be entertained and that’s it. T.I.’s criminal situation is entertainment to “us”…be real. That shit ain’t a game to him so if he comes off defensive, hold the hate.

Foreign policy is a major part of the job description for the office McCain is running for. T.I’s case has nothing to do with his job requirements as a rapper. Go run up on a felon you don’t know and ask him why he did the shit he did and risked his whatever, and see what response you’ll get.

If I ever became a rapper, I wouldn’t have an entourage. They always seem like a bunch of sac ryders. “We shall overcome” Gtfoh!

oh my Fucking Gosh.I swear some of yall are some lames ass niggas.T.I answered respectfully.And he clarified and I agree people should mind their business.if he doesnt want to explain his situation then leave him be.He dont owe yall nothing so fall back wit that stupid shit.She was out of pocket asking a personal question like that and Im sure T.I is tired of hearing about the fucking case and jus wants to move past that shit.He could’ve did a Kanye and spazz out and yelled and screamed like a damn foool.But he kept it cool
