Man I just saw something T.I said in VIBE about a tweet I wrote when he caught his drug case. He just got out a jam and caught a new one. Any other time a nigga done. Get caught with 10 machine gun an silencer then catch a drug charge. You will f**k around and get natural life. This boy got a get outta jail FREE card. Don’t get emotional over your lady. It a get you in some sh*t you don’t want to be in.
If U can get 5 years easy 4 some sh*t and I’m the support of my family. Why would it be wrong if ya lady had to take probation? Shit she ballin to lol
T.I. on people criticizing Tiny for not taking the drug charge
“I’ma tell you, 50 Cent and anybody else, we not gonn’a have no discussion about what my ole lady should’a, would’a, couda done for anything as it pertains to me,” begins his rant. “We ain’t gonn’a do that. I’m the only one in my family that’s gonna take a lick when it pertains to the legal system. Since me, none of my other family members have seen a jail cell. Nobody. I’m the last one. The buck stops here. I feel that a person that stands behind [his woman for a criminal charge] is a coward anyway.”
VIBE: I doubt she would have gotten any time.
T.I.: She wasn’t gonna catch it period, ’cause I’m there. That wasn’t even a consideration. Even if she asked me to I would’ve been like, “Nah, you trippin’. “
So you didn’t feel you were more valuable to your family, employees and business partners on the street?
That’s a discussion between me and another man. Not with the mother of my children. Not with the nurturer of my household.

The new series follows the “King of the South” at his most vulnerable, as T.I. re-acclimates back in
to his life as a father, husband, son, musician, apparel magnate, businessman, actor and best-selling author (Power & Beauty).
During filming of a music video, the audience will catch a tender moment as T.I. teaches his son the importance of education and doing his school work.

“Tameka and I have a strong, loving family,” said T.I. “In this family documentary, you will see the challenges of raising children while balancing a career. It’s like a lot of families, only our home is in the spotlight.”

The 31-year-old rapper is in New York on a promo tour for his book: Power & Beauty: A Love Story of Life on the Streets, which was released today. His first stop was the Howard Stern show, where he discussed one of the fisticuffs he had with a disrespectful inmate at Forest City Correctional facility in Arkansas.
T.I. tweeted his itinerary on his official Twitter.com account yesterday.
Last week, King of the South, T.I., took to his Twitter page to denounce a few radio personalities for criticizing his decision to party (and make a few dollars) during BET’s Hip Hop Awards weekend n Atlanta.
T.I. tweeted:
TMZ.com posted the pics of T.I., 31, cheering on
his son, Domani, 10, who plays for the Vikings football team. T.I.’s son Clifford “King” Joseph Harris III, 7, also plays for a football team.
Also supporting the kids on the sidelines were T.I.’s wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, 36, T.I.’s mother, Violeta Morgan, sons King and Major, 3; daughter, Deyjah, 10, sister, Precious, and Messiah and Domani’s mother, LaShon Dixon, whose boyfriend stepped in to do a great job as the kids’ doting stepfather when
T.I. was locked up twice. LaShon’s man took the boys on fishing trips and other men-only excursions. They have grown really attached to him.
Later Tiny tweeted:
eady has a new book deal and TV reality show waiting for him.The artist, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was released Wednesday morning from the Forrest City low-security prison, said Bureau of Prisons spokesman Chris Burke. Attorney Jonathan Leonard confirmed T.I. was released but did not immediately say where his client was going.
"The storm is over & da sun back out. IT'S OUR TIME TO SHINE SHAWTY!!!!!" the rapper posted on Twitter shortly after his release. "Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!"
T.I. had initially served about seven months at the prison in 2009 after he was arrested for trying to buy unregistered guns and silencers from undercover federal agents. He was on probation after he was released and ordered not to commit another crime or to illegally possess any controlled substances.
He was arrested again in September 2010 in Los Angeles on drug charges after authorities said he was found with four ecstasy pills. He was sentenced in October to 11 months in prison for that violation. He had been set for release at the end of September.
It's unclear where T.I. is going next, but it appears a flock of cameras will follow. VH1 said Wednesday that the network will film T.I.'s journey home from jail and debut the show in December. MTV aired a similar reality show on the rapper in 2009 called "T.I.'s Road to Redemption: 45 Days to Go," which chronicled his attempts to help others avoid his mistakes.
T.I. has also finalized a book deal. A representative from HarperCollins told The Associated Press T.I. has written a book called "Power & Beauty" that's set to be released in October. The novel, which was co-written with David Ritz, is a fictional tale about two childhood friends torn apart by dangerous dealings on the streets of Atlanta.
The arrest on weapons charges came after Harris' best friend was killed following a post-performance party in Cincinnati in 2006. The rapper has said the bullets that killed his friend were meant for him.
When he was released from that sentence, he was required to perform 1,000 hours of community service, which he spent mostly talking with schoolchildren about the dangers of drugs, gangs and violence.
But a federal judge said that "experiment" failed when Los Angeles deputies found four ecstasy pills on the rapper.
