As expected, Atlanta rapper T.I. (born Clifford Harris Jr.) was sentenced today to one year and a day in prison following his October 2007 arrest for federal weapons charges, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Under the plea agreement, T.I. could reduce his time behind bars by 15 percent with good behavior. T.I. is scheduled to report to prison in the next six to eight weeks, though the judge described previously agreed-upon commitments that would not allow him to enter prison before May 19.

T.I.’s prison sentence: Did he get a cushy deal?
I don’t know if you’ve listened to his latest record Paper Trail but if you pay attention to the lyrics he has obviously realised his mistake and is doing everything he can do to change his life around.
He’s not a bad guy. What I think is an outrage is Steve Wozniak. He was cleared of all gun and drug trafficing charges one week before he went on Dancing with the Stars. Hello? Anyone? I’m not saying Tom Bergeron is Rupert Murdoch, but…you gotta say to yourself: Cui bono…
The highlight of the week!
trumped up weapons charges, TI is cool, sounds like a bad rap to me.
