@Kubes: As a writer sending you off the wall is a compliment beyond all others.

I have zero tolerence, for anyone who has made it to hollywood to be “branded” as an artist especially with “pimping” or in straight up words, “abusing women”. A lot of crews and people are at the whim of this and his entertainment management who get paid below scale and give 10000 percent make this guy look excellent and sound amazing to the ears — it just irks me at levels that are not imaginable. –

I understand your thoughts and mine are related to but not related too. Unfortunately seeing this article sent me off the wall !! I apologize.

I respect his skills as a rapper. and his ability to carry a tune but a true singer he is not! Unfortunately the average listener doesn’t know the difference and so this style is perpetuated as singing which it is not.Of course it’s unfortunate that this country (the USA ) celebrates both criminals and media stars.It is a shame that the media also fuels the fire etc. At 28 he should know better than to attempt to buy machine guns. He was a convicted felon so he should have known better.Everyone makes some mistakes and one should learn not to make those mistakes. Kids are looking up to him unfortunately and he should want his kids to emulate some of the negative things that he has done. I ‘m sure that he is also doing some positive things that are not being reported by the media. So I understand the authors struggle with equivalence but i firmly resist the idea that criminal acts should be praised.He is a talented rapper.I really hope that he leaves the criminal acts of his past buried there and he learns a lesson form this unfortunate ordeal. Clean up your act man,for your kids and all the kids across America that want to be T.I.

Oh!What a life story of a musician!
He looks so innocent,it’s an added advantage for him.
Only proves that judging people with their looks can be deceptive!
But creativity and talents will die in a criminal mind.

@kubes: I think if you read it, you will see that I am not in fact praising him. I am pointing out the dichotomy that exists within his life and many other rap musicians. I do not condone his behavior and I think I clearly express that. Thanks for your comment, V

I believe in forgiveness in peoples past action. But a spade is still a spade. He treated women like shit and needs no glamorizing or praise. I think you’d have a different opinion if it was your sister or mother hooking for him. So what if he can sing. A lot of great singers are good people deserve greater praise. Most criminals who get caught are guilty of other things instead of what they got away with. I think you have lost your mind praising this scumbag.

I don’t know it to be true but I’ve heard it said the criminal mind and the creative mind are very much alike and that the criminal side can sometimes take over when the creative side is repressed.
