T.I. focuses on the positive.
T.I (Clifford Harris Jnr) the former drug dealer raised by his grandparents in Atlanta, Georgia began writing lyrics down on paper while under house arrest. The album debuted at No.1 on the American Billboard charts going on to sell 568,000 copies in the United States.
He was charged with two felonies in October,2007 consisting of possession of three unregistered machine guns and two silencers, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon. T.I was required to remain at home except for medical appointments and court appearances while the only people allowed to reside with him were his girlfriend and children.
After pleading guilty to U.S Federal weapons charges he was sentenced to an undefined prison sentence, a year of house arrest and 1,500 hours of community service. T.I remains positive about his time in the slammer stating to M.T.V "Presumably, while I'm there, I'll be able to strategize my comeback."
Some rappers have suggested he better make other plans concerning unwanted attention from fellow inmates “wanting to take a ride with him”. OUCH
