T.I. Suffers from Elect-ile Dysfunction

T.I. is finally admitting he has a problem -- telling unregistered voters in D.C., "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." He should have thought about that before pleading guilty to felony weapons charges and officially forfeiting his right to vote.

Still, the Hip Hop Caucus selected the rapper as their official spokesperson and justified their decision by saying, "T.I. can't vote in this election and to come and encourage others to vote, especially young folks from disenfranchised communities, while he still is in the system, is an act of courage and great leadership. Felon disenfranchisement is a major issue that particularly impacts communities of color."

31. I think it was a noble cause to try to get people out to vote even if he can't. People are so damn critical. They picked T.I. because the people who they are trying to reach can relate to him and they will respect his point of view. Whether you agree or not is not the issue because you are probably not the audience they were trying to attract. Also, the statement about it effecting the black community is true. It has nothing to do with racism, a fact is a fact.
