Good news, rap fans, hip-hop fans, and people who don’t like the U.S.’ penal system. T.I., everyone’s favorite southern rapper, has been released from his prison. He served seven months and one day of his sentence, and probably cut a deal with the feds.
Not that that’s a bad thing. If I were staring down the barrel of a ten-year prison sentence, I’d cut a deal with the feds as well. T.I. was arrested in 2007 for trying to purchase unregistered machine-guns from undercover officers. His paranoia and reasons for purchasing the weapons, according to what he told prosecutors, was that his best friend was killed at a party in Cincinnati. He agreed to speak at schools, to do community service, and ostensibly, to air a show on MTV where he surprises people and tries to change their lives. I caught one episode, where he took a drug-dealer and left him in a cell for several hours. I don’t know if it changed his life, but it certainly made him late for his previous drug-dealing appointments.
He’s being released to a halfway house, where he can ingratiate himself back into society slowly. Hopefully, in videos. With bitches. Bitches washing cars. Awwww, yeah.
