T.I. has dropped his request to host Thanksgiving dinner. The rapper is under house arrest and needs to get his every move approved by a judge, even something as simple as having a few of his close friends over for dinner.

 

Oh by the way, when I say "a few," I mean 95. I've heard people in the South have a lot of cousins, but that's ridiculous. T.I. allegedly dropped his request because he was sick of complying with the court's orders, which included background checks for each of the 95 visitors.

 

You know what happened; he definitely invited someone with a criminal record and didn't know there were going to be background checks. It's like when you go to the bar and two guys in your group have terrible fake IDs, and it turns out that's the one night when the bar decides to be strict with its carding policy. Obviously T.I. wasn't smart enough to use the old "background papers pass-back trick." He'll just have to spend Thanksgiving alone, with his TV and his 26 guns.

 

 

T.I.'s life must suck pretty bad right now. Not only is he facing the possibility of ten years in prison for his trip to the Costco Gun Department, but he also needs his every move to be approved by a judge.

 

T.I. filed a court motion yesterday asking for permission to host Thanksgiving dinner at his house. The rapper is on house arrest and can't have people over, either.

 

From AllHipHop:

The rapper also submitted a list of proposed visitors for the judge to approve, who must all undergo criminal background checks.

T.I. is also forbidden from consuming alcohol even if the motion is granted. He must also pay for additional security guards to police the Thanksgiving Day celebration.

 

He also has to get approval for the guys who clean his house and pool. God, that sounds horrible. I would never want to live like that. I better make sure to never purchase 26 guns and silencers when I'm on probation.

 

Hopefully the judge will grant T.I.'s wish. Until he's convicted, he at least deserves the right to eat Thanksgiving dinner with his family. Also, I heard he already bought a dozen 3-foot-long semi-automatic turkey knives with silencers to prepare for the feast. It would be a shame if those went to waste.

 

 

When T.I. got arrested for treating his gun dealer like a Costco, we knew he was going to be in some serious trouble. But if 50 Cent is correct, then T.I. could be headed for a very, very long jail sentence.



Am I the only one who thinks it's funny that 50 Cent is giving these quotes while shooting a video for a song called "I'll Still Kill?"

About a week ago, rapper T.I. and his bodyguard were arrested when the bodyguard was caught attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers. The bodyguard admitted to purchasing 26 guns for T.I. and his posse.



It seemed like things couldn't get more outrageous. But now, a blogger from Atlanta named Sandra Rose claims she is being intimidated by T.I.'s people because of recent posts on her blog. Here is what Rose had to say

The hip hop side of the blogosphere is a-buzz with one thing and one thing only right now, T.I.'s guns. That's right, there seems to be a morbid interest in the dude's giant arsenal of weapons that the Feds found recently. As Miss Info pointed out, Tip might as well be protecting a small village, not just his family. Or maybe he's just trying to hurt some folks.

 

Anyway, Federal prosecutors displayed the seized hardware at a press conference in the ATL, where one government prosecutor dished a few words to the wise. He said the last place "a machine gun or silencer should be are in the hands of a convicted felon, who's not legally allowed to possess any type of firearm." But duuuuuude, it looks cool in the videos!

 

And now, a rundown of Tip's guns:

 

T.I. and his bodyguard were picked up over the weekend on multiple weapons charges after the bodyguard supposedly tried to buy machine guns and silencers. One more time, a No. 1 selling and award-winning hip hop artist was nabbed trying to buy machine guns and silencers. Next time you're kickin' it in the ATL and you see T.I.'s crew headed your way, I strongly suggest you turn your head and act like you didn't see them.

In fact, I insist. Tip's bodyguard later admitted to purchasing nine guns for T.I. (including past purchases) and about 17 for other people in the rapper's posse. That amounts to about 26 guns in case you don't have a calculator handy. Twenty-six guns. In a related story, T.I. now has his own military. Oh, by the way, the 27-year-old rapper is a convicted felon.

Normally, it's this writer's opinion that the acclaimed T.I.'s rhyming skills are often outshined by the production on his tracks, but now "Hurt" has flipped that crap upside down. So far, I can't decide if it's because the production is kinda not that great or if it's because T.I. sounds so excited and ... fast.

Excellent. America's racist musical discussion has got an official television program to coincide with it. BET unveils "Hip-Hop Vs. America" this week as a special feature on the Hip Hop congressional hearing. T.I., Nelly and Chuck D are all scheduled to stop by the "candid town hall meeting"-style program. This sounds disastrous - like New Jack City meets Mayberry or something.
