Bye Bye, T.I.

T.I.T.I. is going to the pokey for a year and a day.

An Atlanta federal court just sentenced the 28-year-old rapper on federal weapons charges related to buying machine guns and silencers.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, was also ordered to pay $100,300 in fines.

He has between 30 and 60 days to report to prison.

31. #14. The statement you made was vulgar and racist. If you do notl like a person fine, that is your right. To call a person a "SPOOK" is out of line. I wonder if you would do this in person in front of "Real Spook Thugs" I think not.........COWARD!

33. Some of you people are actually mad at the people celebrating him going to prison and they should think about his kids and family who are losing a father/friend whatever?! Don't you think he should've been the ONE to think about his OWN kids and family who will now lose him because of an immature/testosteron induced night?!?

He tried to redeem himself probably because he knew what he did was wrong. Kudos to him, I'm sure he did help some kids. It wasn't a total loss some good did come of it.

36. HE needs to think about his kids and family. NOT ME! I DIDN'T go out and buy AUTOMATIC MACHINEGUNS & SILENCERS!! Maybe he should have thought of his family before trying to buy those HIGHLY ILLEGAL items. Those items are not just guns. They are used to KILL! What exactly was he gonna do with them anyway? It's in NO WAY MY RESPONSIBILITY to give a damn about him or his family. That's HIS job.

37. T.I. ATTEMPTED TO BUY THE GUNS/SILENCERS RIGHT AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS BEST FRIEND, NO EXCUSE, BUT I THINK HE WAS SPOOKED BY THE DRIVE BY SHOOTING, HE MANNED UP AND TRIED TO DISCOURAGE THE YOUTHS THAT WERE IN DANGER OF MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES. BIG UPS TO YOU T.I.

39. To Sono: He was active in community service prior to these charges, he gave away bikes and toys to kids in atlanta and was involved in other charitable organizations and events

To THE REAL DEAL: First off, before you can analyze someone elses choices you must be in their shoes . Also, while you criticize the black community and our so called lack of role models, I would like you to refer to the lindsey lohans, b.spears, and paris hiltons of the white community before attacking our lack of role models. Your statement only perpetuates the medias desire to only expose a handful of black men who have made the wrong choices in life, rather than highlighting the thousands or millions of african american men that serve their community and are upstanding citizens.

42. A pile of illegal weapons and the fool pleads not guilty to save face. Should.ve been "guilty" for the street cred alone. What an idiot.

44. Courtney - you apparently have strong feelings. What are you doing to highlight the positives in the black community - you have Black History Month, NAACP, Rainbow Push Coalition and so many other groups for blacks only, but there is an overwhelming and disproportinal amount of violence in the black community that is not found in any other community around the world. When will your "leaders" take a stand and speak out instead of condoning through silence and emulating those who are creating all of the embarassment. While whites do have issues too, Lindsay, Britney and Paris are not THUGS and are not purchasing weapons designed to Kill. Pull your head out of your butt and wake up to the reality of the problems
