The King's Back!! T.I. released from Prison

The King is back. XXLMag.com has learned that T.I. was released from prison this morning (December 22) and will be admitted into a halfway house in his hometown of Atlanta, later today.

XXL spoke with Tip’s lead defense attorney in his federal gun case, Steve Sadow, who confirmed the news. “He was released this morning from his place of incarceration in Arkansas,” Sadow said. “As I understand it, he’s on his way back to the Atlanta area. He has to report to a halfway house in Atlanta sometime this evening. And he will then spend somewhere between the next two or three months in a halfway house, ending his Buruea of Prison sentence.“

According to Sadow, T.I. will have a lot more freedom under his new living conditions. “A halfway house is more along the lines of a residential dormitory,” he explained of the rap star’s new stipulations. “You live within this house that is broken into areas for living, and you are permitted to leave during the day for certain reasons of which would be employment, medical reasons, things of that nature, and you return to the halfway house in the evening. So it’s a restriction on your liberty but it’s a way for you to reenter into society and not be confined within a jail type institution 24-hours a day.”

T.I. has been serving time in Arkansas’ Forrest City Prison since May 26, for possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as firearms from a convicted felon. He is expected to be finished with his federal sentence in March of 2010.

I know people have a lot of different opinions on T.I.'s situation and I refuse to speak on it because I don't know what the real story is. You can't believe what the media says. But what I can say is that I love the moves he's making at this point in his career and managed to stay on top of things when a lot of folks thought he was down for the count!! Got to salute him for that!! Paper Trail in stores now!!

T.I.’s Speech at Hip Hop Inaugural Ball

T.I. is a good dude and it shows through every time he talks. I like what slim stands for. This was a serious part in this speech:

"I want to thank God for somehow … I know he perfect. So I thank him for
everything. I thank him for making me drop out of school. I thank him for making
me run the streets. I’mma thank him for making me sell crack. I’mma thank him
for making me have shoot-outs. I’mma thank him for allowing me to watch my
partners die in my arms so I’d be fearful enough for my life and paranoid enough
to go out and cop machine guns and silencers so I catch a fed case and I have to
put up $3 million for my bond so I have to spend seven months of my life in my
house, so I have to spend a year of my life in prison just so that I be
validated enough to get out there and touch the youth because they know that I
done been through it, and if I say it, it means something.”

Gucci & Louis says no to T.I. "Swing Yo Rags"

This really makes me feel some kind of way!! As big as an influence that the music industry has on the products people by they still don't want the publicity!! I mean I understand they don't want to maintain a high end image but damn

T.I. says the video for "Swing Ya Rag" — an undeniably mammoth musical moment on Paper Trail — is one for the vaults. Tip and Swizz Beatz shot the video many weeks ago, around the same time as the "What Up, What's Haapnin' " clip. However, the two companies mentioned in the song were not excited about the prospect of full-on visuals for the record.

"We did it, and it came out hot," Tip said of the video. "Louis [Vuitton] and Gucci started trippin' about it. They were saying we were infringing, in one way or another. They weren't happy about it. They didn't want it to come out. But it's hot, though."
