    When did they protest for any other rapper? They've spoken out against rappers like TI so, try again.

    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

      Man.... I was born and raised in the Ghetto. Grew up around drugs and guns and gangs. Hell, I was in one for a bit. There is no excuse for stupidity! This guy has the world by the balls, and now he is done.. Toast... GONE! I hate how everyone from the ghetto, or people who think they know the mindset of people from the ghetto always make that same damn excuse.

      They're the from the ghetto, that's their mindset, it's how they grew up. Your point?

      How one grows up don't matter, it's an excuse, that is all it is. The only way to get OUT of that life is to make a decision and say, "I am better than that." He had his BIG chance to get out of that trap, he was just too damn stupid to take it! I don't carry a piece, I don't deal drugs, and I sure as hell don't try to justify my own stupidity from time to time by saying I had a hard childhood.

        Eh maybe so, probably shouldn't have included both of those morons. You know they'll be protests and stupid stuff like that though.

        I mean look what happened when Lil Wayne got arrested, the authorities were getting death threats for crying out loud.

          This dude got some real issues:

          Snitches. Watch da company u keep.

          Rapper T.I. was arrested in Atlanta yesterday [October 13] by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) after he allegedly attempted to purchase three machine guns and two silencers from an undercover agent, acting as an arms dealer.



          In addition to the three machine guns found in his College Park home, police also recovered six additional firearms from a closet in the rapper's house.



          T.I. has been charged with felony possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.



          According to U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias, T.I. allegedly sought to purchase an unregistered machine gun, as well as numerous other weapons.



          T.I. allegedly paid almost a total of $21,000 in cash to his bodyguard to purchase over 25 firearms on his behalf.



          The bodyguard, who was acting as a cooperating witness, told agents that he was purchasing the machine guns on T.I.'s behalf because the rapper is a convicted felon.



          The man, who had been employed since July 2007, allegedly purchased nine weapons for the rapper as well as one weapon on behalf of another, unnamed individual.



          The bodyguard purchased a total of nine weapons for T.I. and 17 for others on behalf of T. I., because of his prior felony conviction, which prevents him from legally owning firearms.



          "Machine guns pose a serious danger to the community, which is why they are so carefully regulated," said David E. Nahmias, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. "The last place machine guns should be is in the hands of a convicted felon, who cannot legally possess any kind of firearm. This convicted felon allegedly was trying to add several machine guns to an already large and entirely illegal arsenal of guns. Thanks to the good and quick work of ATF, he is now in custody and his firearms have been seized."



          The bodyguard, acting as a Confidential Witness [CW] placed a series of phone calls to T.I., which were recorded by the ATF.



          The CW called T.I. and said "he had everything," referring to machine guns he was allegedly supposed to purchase on behalf of the rapper.



          On October 12, T.I. called the CW and ordered him to deliver the weapons yesterday [October 13].


          "This investigation developed very quickly," said Vanessa McLemore, Special Agent in Charge of ATF's Atlanta Division. "We learned only this Wednesday that the cooperating witness was allegedly buying the machine guns for Harris. The cooperating witness told Harris on Thursday that he had obtained the items, and on Friday Harris made it clear that he wanted them delivered to him today. Harris then agreed to meet and took possession of the machine guns this afternoon. He now faces serious federal charges and a potentially long prison sentence."



          T.I. will remain in federal custody until Monday, October 15, when he will appear before US Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman at the United States Courthouse in Atlanta.

                TI tried to buy the guns himself?

                Does he understand the purpose of a crew? I'd expect better from a guy moving "ki by the three".

                            I know heelfan listed his businesses but I hate to break it to you but making a million bucks a year is relatively easy these days.

                            As for this, Some rappers still come from the ghetto-ized mentality and even earning big bucks and being popular around the world can't solve the problem of not having the brains or foresight to see how stupid some of their actions are.
