The T.I.P. Report
So the report is out on T.I.P. or TI? I'm confused.. Which one of the personalities bought the guns? Maybe they should have sentenced him to a mental institution for having split personalities? Maybe the nice guy in court is T.I.P., but once TI comes out it is back to buying guns? Who knows, but TI has been sentenced to only 12 months in jail which is great considering the initial charges could have amounted to 20 plus years. I think TI's easy sentence is good for the hip-hop community. Historically, rappers have been harassed and under higher surveillance by the law. For what? bad lyrics? I see a million times more violence on public access TV now a days then I've seen in recent hip-hop videos. It all comes down to underlined racism... Regardless, given the evidence presented against TI, It is good to see him get a reasonable charge for a crime that he even admitted guilt for at the scene. YES?! apparently TI waived his miranda rights and admitted guilt at the scene of the crime for one of the gun crimes charged against him. All and all, for someone that is supposed to be street savvy, he made some pretty careless moves. However, Since his house arrest sentence he has been cooperating 110% and his good behavior has obviously made an impact on the final sentence. So as of right now, I have heard a couple different stories. The fact is is that his sentence will begin a year from today in 2009. He will serve a whole year with 3 additional years of probation. Until then, he can serve up to 1,000 hours of required community service and I am still unclear if he is on house arrest or not.. V103 in Atlanta said that he has to serve house arrest for a remaining 9 months but hot 107.9 said no more house arrest???
