T.I. Sentenced To One Year and a Day In Prison, Could Serve Less

As expected, rapper T.I. was sentenced to serve one year and one day in jail after pleading guilty to weapons charges, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. While federal sentencing guidelines mandated that Tip serve at least four years and nine months for his crime, the rapper’s legal team worked out an experimental plea bargain that allowed T.I. to stay under house arrest, pay a $100,000 fine and serve 1,000 hours of community service, with another 500 hours due after release. Having complied with the requirements of the plea bargain, T.I. was handed the one year and a day sentence today in an Atlanta courtroom. He was arrested in October 2007 for attempting to add guns to an already large illegal arsenal.

T.I isn’t expected to report to prison for another six to eight weeks, as commitments prevent the rapper from going to jail any earlier than May 19th. Despite the 366-day sentence, T.I. is only expected to spend 298 days behind bars. According to AJC, the plea agreement allows for the rapper to eliminate 15 percent of his sentence based on good behavior. The two weeks that T.I. spent in prison after his initial arrest will also count toward his prison term, reducing the length of the sentence even further.

“I expect the court will adopt and accept the plea agreement. I expect the court to acknowledge Mr. [Clifford] Harris has lived up to what was expected of him,” T.I.’s lawyer Dwight Thomas said. Since the plea bargain, T.I. has visited 25 states and staged 260 events to speak with thousands of teens and adults to encourage them to respect the law and avoid violence and drugs, logging over 1,006 hours in the process, court papers revealed. Rolling Stone followed a day in the life of T.I. as he hit the studio, schools and a basketball court last year.

,,,,weapons charge, who cares?!!!

,,,,crappy music, life in prison!!

Dr. Drew | 3/27/2009, 12:15 pm EST

Sorry gangsta-playa! Hollywood ain’t the ghetto!
“It’s the return of the gangsta, thanksta” fucking douche bags like T.I.! Maybe if he invested more of his time in listening to and being influenced by “conscious rap” artists/bands like Outkast and The Roots and Blackalicious, he wouldn’t be spending a fucking year and a day in prison. Douche of the Year.
T.I. = Totally Ignorant

Dr. Drew | 3/27/2009, 12:30 pm EST

Drop that Auto-Tune shit and all those lyrics about “bitches and switches and hoes and clothes and weed” and start talkin’ about “time travelin’, rhyme javelin’, somethin’ mind unraveling.” GET DOWN T.I.!
You need to follow Blackalicious and start thinkin’ abstract, and quit going with the flow. You need to start “creatin’ with the force to bring rap back, not that it’s away, but everyone’s got something to say.” But it’s all the same.

Long live Gift of Gab, Black Thought, Andre/Big Boi, and, of course, since I’m white, The Beasties.

B-rad | 3/27/2009, 12:35 pm EST

Dr. Drew,
You really seem pretty ignorant here. The problem with real boys from the street like TI is that even when they get to the top and they want to leave that life behind them, sometimes it won’t let them. TI’s old life on the street was catching up to his new one in the Hills, he only had the guns for protection. The problem is, being that he was a former crack dealer who had served time in a federal prison, he was not allowed to possess the weapons that he did at the time of his arrest. My guess is that you are just some rich ass white boy who can’t comprehend the idea that someone can change and that maybe circumstances can make an otherwise good person look bad.

eric | 3/27/2009, 12:36 pm EST

he makes great quality music and i cant wait for him to get out so he can make more quality music, he really is doing alot for the community and i think he really has turned it around, i wish him the best.

Elsa Anaya | 3/27/2009, 12:38 pm EST

I personally commend T.I. for his efforts to make a difference in the choices he has made in the past. I have watched the show and I think he has reached out to the young people on the wrong path. We have all made wrong choices in our lives. And I do believe that those who are without sin, may cast the first stone. I believe in my heart that people can change in self reflection. Look who is now our President. That would not have happened in the 1960’s but, it is happening now. If we believe that people can change and inspire them to. There is hope for everyone. After all were all in this together.

He’s trying to make the wrongs right. He’s human like you and I.

forawellregulatedmilitia | 3/27/2009, 1:05 pm EST

for all the people that have never had to worry about their own life, you got no idea what he went through. One of his best friends died in his arms, those bullet were meant for HIM. I don’t think he should spend a day in jail, when it comes to protecting my life – the law comes second.

Jamie | 3/27/2009, 1:05 pm EST

Oh come off it people. He is not sorry for what he did, he is sorry he got caught. This stupid TV show he came up with proves nothing. He is only sorry he got caught.
And this is not just SOMETHING wrong. It is not like he got caught driving 5 miles over the speed limit. He was caught with guns. It is illegal for convicted felons to possess guns or bullet proof vests.
Have I ever done anything wrong in my life? Yes. Have I ever committed a felony? No. I don’t even speed when driving.

Dr. Drew | 3/27/2009, 1:05 pm EST

No B-rad…not a rich ass white boy…don’t be ignorant. I say I’m white, and you “guess” I’m a rich ass white boy? Are you fucking stupid? Go fuck yourself and the stupid stereotypical ideas that formulate in your brain. I merely commented on the stupidity of his music, which he seems to relate a lot to his “former life.” Doesn’t look like he’s trying to change his ways at all until he gets caught.

forawellregulatedmilitia | 3/27/2009, 1:06 pm EST

just because you don’t speed doesn’t make you better than anyone. my guess is that you’re a despicable, self righteous human being.

They shouldn’t be putting him in prison at all! He’s just going to start shit in prison too! Give him more fines and more community service! No prison time! Unless it’s solitary confinement! If he’s not starting shit in prison, he’ll be treated like a newborn baby and given many priveleges…just like in Goodfellas…

Lock him up and move on if I got catch I would get the 4 hours, but he has the $ so he can do a year, he just be siding with the man

dr drew,
you really need to take a look at yourself before saying the things you have said. it does not matter about yor skin color or where you come from or where you going to…this man has changed and he has also changed the lives of many people….hell, everybody makes mistakes after all the things he has been through with losing his best friend before his very eyes when he know the bullet was meant for him….i would have ordered the same stuff he did if not more. am i saying it makes it right? no i am not, but under the given circumstances it is what it is.

Just goes to show you that money talks. If this happened to us poor folk we could not get by with telling the judge that we can’t go to prison for 6-8 weeks because we have other commitments. Let’s all try and use that one if we ever get into trouble. LOL

petey pete | 3/27/2009, 3:55 pm EST

just becuz he dresses in a suit, makes up a show on MTV, and talks to high schools around the nation, doesn’t mean he’s changed. all of u guyz defending him don’t “know” his true intentions…
sum of us may think he’s changed…some of us may think he hasn’t…either way we’ll never know….so we shuold just quit arguing about it.

Love TI and love Outkast. Outkast rapped about smoking weed and riding in cadillacs…..Yeah, so “conscious rap” All rappers began somewhere and all have evolved. People used to say Outkast sucked because they weren’t “normal,” in rapper’s standards and TI is just the same, he is in the early stages of his career. But we all try to learn from mistakes and move on. So Let’s MOVE ON.

Yo t.I. Is a stupid mother fucker. I don’t care if he has good music or bad music. But if a regular person who has an average income got charged with that shit they would not listen to them . What’s the difference between t.I. And me ? He’s rich and makes music? So that means he gets a lower sentance? Well fuck that shit .so fuck t.I. Fuck all you “gangsters” you think your hard? Really? All you niggas think your the shit with your escalades. And your fancy clothes. Yeah you got nice clother but what else you got?A house in the projects . That’s all . So fuck you . Fuck t.I.

I really question TI’s motives here. Would he really be taking the time to speak to kids if he didn’t think it would put him in the courts good graces? Only a year and a day? That’s rediculous for someone who has a long history of arrests. Let it have been someone without money and fame. When will the law actually be fair with sentencing? A bunch of BS if you ask me. Let’s teach the kids that if you have enough money you can do anything you want.. That’s what we’re doing. Yeah, props to TI for getting over on the system.

It’s sad to see so all the hateful comments on this article. No, TI isn’t a “conscious” rap artist. He’s way bigger and has much more appeal than that. I think he is among the best mainstream hip hop artists working today. I hope he will bounce back from all this. He does have a wife and kids…I feel for them having to deal with all this shit.

HE IS GOING TO BE IN SHU (PC) CAUSE BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS, THEY WONT LET HIM OUT IN GP!!! SOMEONE WILL TRY AND GET AT HIM JUST CAUSE OF WHO HE IS!!!! T.I. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!

Nucknfutz | 3/29/2009, 2:47 pm EST

Well, TI chose a crappy life and gets punished for it. Why would we feel sorry for him? He is an ex drug dealer turned rapper..and that makes him special? His TV show is a joke…its just a public outcry for sympathy. TV could make a convicted murderer look good in the public eye, but the truth is “DO THE CRIME, DO THE TIME”. Its a load of crap that celebrities get special treatment when it comes to jail time…are they any different than us regular people? In my opinion he should have to serve just like any other poor fucker. And I agree with some of the other people who say rappers in general need to change it up….. how much bitches and hoes, guns and drugs, murder and thugs really need to be sang about. If that is all they know in life to sing about then obviously they have issues that do need to be addressed by the prison system, or at least by some good counselling.

What’s with all the ad hominems?

Arguments for or against TI or each others’ opinions like “He makes more money than you, so your opinion is worthless” or “You’re just a stupid (rich/poor), (white/black/green), (boy/girl), from the (suburbs/city/hood/hick-town) so you couldn’t possibly know” don’t make any sense.

No one knows this man but himself and no matter what stupid crap he’s done I wouldn’t wish prison on him or anyone. I hope he doesn’t have to stay long. No human should be treated like an animal, and locked in a cage.

If the Truth hurts | 3/30/2009, 12:49 pm EST

This is just another example of money keeping people out of jail. It don’t matter “insert skin color here/location” you are. We all see this happen time and time again. Let’s say that we had the same charges, what kind of sentence would you get? Even after doing the community service, that is if you are able to get out of the jail while in waiting for your trial, do you think that it would be the same for you? There are things that I do agree about, is that music is inspirational, but there is not just one source of that inspiration. Can u tell me how many RAP songs today that are not about the following; bitches and switches and hoes and clothes and weed? All they are doing is making you want to be like them by pushing the product that is making the video or the CD for them. Just look inside the album cover to what t-shirts, hats, and other items you can get for some random amount of money. Also, how many times can you use the same beat? It changes when somebody comes with new beat that everyone wants to hear and let the bandwagon begin. One guy who starts it and a million that use it because they liked it when they listen to the first guy do it. Most of the creativity is in the lyrics, but that is even the same, just said differently. RAP has come a long way since Curtis Blow, Doug E. Fresh, RUN DMC and the other great ones that help start it off. I don’t think that any of today’s rappers can stand to what they have done. They had to make the music the hard way and not just hitting a button to make a track that they will use over and over again.

versedandvested | 3/30/2009, 1:03 pm EST

always happy to see another borderline-retarded rapper go to jail. unless they let him make an album in there (nothing surprises me about “prison life” anymore), consider me thankful for a one-year vacation from the utter jibberish that escapes this plank’s mouth.

hooray!

Preston | 3/30/2009, 6:53 pm EST

Hey Fuck all of you neigh-sayers he fucked up, he took resposibility for his actions, he did his community service, now he going to jail for a year. All ya’ll mother fuckers think celebs get out of jail cause they celebs? Naw bitches, they can afford good lawyers who get them deals. So yah be jealous that you ain’t got the money TIP does, but don’t hate too much. TIP will come out of this stronger than ever. I wish you luck my man. Much love and keep ya’ head up homie!!!

If the Truth hurts | 3/31/2009, 7:09 am EST

People do change but it takes more than one day to show that you did. You can say it all you want but until the proof is shown that assumption should not be made. It takes one day to ruin a reputation and a lifetime to get it back.

T.I. deserves to be in prison. If you dont agree, then you are arrogant because if any other person were to do what he did, they would be in prison way longer. Also, if you actually believe that the show was serious then you might want to rethink that. He used the show to gain peoples sympathy. Its all a joke cause once he gets out of prison he will become a nobody.

Anon Rules | 4/6/2009, 4:07 am EST

Also to let those of you know, its called “prison” because hes going to be there longer then one year. So he got sentenced an extra day added to the yeqr he got. ON BETTER SUBJECT shyne is getting ou lt of jail.

Takesomthin | 4/7/2009, 9:17 pm EST

First of all, to all the stupid, immature, childish people that had something negative to say about T.I. need to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself cause no one cares to hear or listen to what you have to say!!!!!! T.I. is human and everyone makes mistakes. And I bet you any kind of money that everyone in this comment room has someone in their family that is imn prison for making the wrong decision. T.I. I love your music and I am praying for you and your family.

If the Truth hurts | 4/8/2009, 7:17 am EST

I agree that I do not walk in TIP’s shoes but also if you do the crime you should do the time. There should be no difference on who you are or what your fame is. All that is showing is that there is really no punishment for what has been done. This then becomes an influence for anyone that sees this. They think that what he did they can do but they get more time. That is the main topic of what people are really trying to say about his jail time. He is human and I don’t think that anyone is saying anything different. For the most part they are stating the fact that he did what he had to only to get a lesser jail time. Besides you really think that he is going to be in GP. He will be in low pop, low security and he won’t even do the full year.

daniel | 5/4/2009, 8:26 pm EST

he should not go to jail he is a good person he really turned him self around i think this is his last time in jail i watch his show t.i. s road to redemtion hes turned himself around alot he is a good person now

C & D | 5/10/2009, 10:31 pm EST

T.I should get the same amount of time that any other person would get if they were in the same situation. Just because hes famous doesn’t mean he should get away with a year and a couple months like what makes him any better then anyone else in the world. If anybody who wasn’t famous was charged with the same charges they would be put in prison for full term. Its good that he did help young kids in the ghettos and hoods leave the crime and from being dealers. He shouldn’t of been stupid and had guns and shit in the first place.

T.i is LEGEND | 5/14/2009, 6:23 am EST

Percizion | 6/3/2009, 8:08 pm EST

Come on people, he is human, made a bad choice and now he is making it right. I am 44y, white, and listen to very little rap, (only because my kids do). But I have heard some songs that have changed my life for the better. Leave the man alone and let him do his time, get out and go on with his life! Yeah the sentence was small but he is doing what the judge told him to do. Who are we to judge him? T.I. do your time and put this behind you. Wish you the best of luck with your life, family, health and career. Just learn from your mistakes. You will be just fine. Peace.

Anonymous | 6/8/2009, 9:18 pm EST

T.I. should have to spend time in prison just like all the other people that have been caught with illegal weaponry, but I also believe that it should not be taken to extremes just because of his social status. I believe it is arrogant to say that he shouldn’t go to prison at all, but it is also arrogant to punish him with extremes just to send a message to the people. T.I. has definantly becomea better man and has earned respect from others, but this does not mean he should walk free without consequence and I also believe T.I. understands the law and is taking responsibility for his own actions. He is an inspiration to all the kids in the hood to rise above diversity and make somthing good even though the person is stuck in a “hostile” environment.

Cause he gots all his real fan not the people

For a mistake. Who doesn’t make mistakes
No ones perfect exept GOD. Ti you rock!!!!!!!!!

I love T.I. | 6/28/2009, 12:21 am EST

wow, over the past few years i have been listenin to T.I. non stop
and he is AMAZIN. He writes songs about things that are real and have actually accured and thats the way he takes his stress out, through his music. Yea he had guns, and 4 shure one day he wuz ganna use them, but I listen to his music and he has guns for self pretection. He will only use it when he is in a really bad situation, and people r tryna kill him. T.I. him self admits in his music that he was wrong, he admits it, and he no’s that he owes time in jail, and all he’s askin of erry body is 2 hear him out, and at least consider y he did wut he did. He feels soo stressed that people arent hearing him out. I think erry body should listen to his song: “Ready For Whatever”
then yall sit around and judge him! he really is a guy that made some bad choices no’s it and is attemptin to turn his life around, even tho em haters keep pushin him down.

B-rad,

I agree with you 100%, people can change. And I LOVE T.I. he’s a wounderful rapper and I never even cared for rap. But, anyway, you really spoke the truth there.

Sun Ji Lee {Korea} | 10/6/2009, 9:35 am EST

It’s so sad, that we won’t be seeing each other anymore. You were very nice to me at the hospital. Thanks for taking care of me. I know my father would of love you. He always tells me to find the best guy out there that is always going to be there for me..Even though you left to back to AMERICA =( I cry every night thinking about you. I know I’m only 18 and people say, that I am too young to understand anything, but you thought me alot of things. Things I never thought anybody would teach me. I dearly love you T.I and I hope you do think of me.
Your Korean baby,
Sun Ji..
