T.I. Talks About His Sentence

iTzMe · 03-27-2009, 03:32 PM

Just moments after a Northern Georgia District judge sentenced T.I. to one year and one day in prison on Friday (March 27) for felony weapons charges stemming from his October 2007 arrest on the eve of the BET Hip-Hop Awards, the rapper talked about his sentence at a press conference.

"It brings me great pleasure and honor to say to you today that I have begun to close this chapter in my life with, of course, the help and blessings of the U.S. attorneys and the courts of the U.S. government."

He continued to the crowd of assembled media, "I would like to thank all who have helped me throughout my journeys, along my journey, including my attorneys, all of the foundations and all of the organizations who have helped me align myself with people who see to it that I seek out my wishes and intentions to the best of my ability."

Although T.I. maintained a positive message throughout the press conference and seemed genuinely satisfied with the outcome, he did address the fact that he will be in jail for the next year and a day.

"Although I am not thrilled about my next year and a day, I am pleased that I am beginning the process of putting this all behind me. Thank you and I apologize to my family, to the young men, young women that I mentor. I hope that I can keep at least one, if not a million or more, from going down a similar path. I just want to say thank you."

MTV News will have more from T.I. today and throughout the weekend. Don't miss "T.I.'s Road to Redemption: The Reckoning," airing Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

T.I. will serve the full sentence, but once he gets out he will be the biggest rapper dropping an album, well maybe. If Detox actually comes out then I expect those two albums to be released around the same time

What was done to Pac was a totally different story. Dude was shot the fuck up, and sent to prison literally the next day. No going away parties, no community events, no farewell tour, none of that shit. He was at the worst point of his life, not knowing what the fuck is going to happen to him. We felt his pain when we bought 'Me Against the World'.

TI is going to be the same as far as impact whether he's in jail or not. He'll have a few 'Whatever U Like' songs. He'll come home to money and a family. He'll be straight for life. In all honesty, I wouldn't compare the two.
