Atlanta Schools Ban T.I. From Speaking

By Roman Wolfe

T.I. has been banned from speaking to students at two metro-Atlanta school districts, leading officials to cancel an upcoming appearance featuring the popular rapper.

 

According to Atlanta’s WSB-TV Channel 2, an upcoming appearance featuring T.I. at Pebblebrook was canceled due to recent gang activity involving students, as well as the recent death of a student.

 

Officials with the Cobb County school district said there was no permanent ban on the rapper in their district, but admitted that the timing for his appearance was off.

 

Representatives with The Fulton County school district said T.I. was banned from speaking to students due to his gun conviction.

 

In March of 2008, T.I. , real name Clifford Harris Jr., pleaded guilty to possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, unlawful possession of machine guns and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.

 

He was ordered to complete 1,000 hours of 1,500 hours community service speaking to youth about gangs, drugs and violence, Additionally, the rapper was sentenced to one year in prison, starting in 2009 and fined $100,000 dollars.

The whole notion of T.I. speaking to students is a good one, but kids in these schools fail to realize the full extent of what he did. In this case I think i'll side with the school system...for once.

GawgaBwoy770 said:

Lmao, at the white folks of Fulton and Cobb county because this is some bullshit..This is more of a reason why he should be speaking to the students..They don't know how his presence and words will affect those kids..Well yes they do I guess because he's guided a lot of kids wrong but I guess if you try and do the right thing they can't have that..Keep killing each other is their motto..

this makes no sense to me.  he's supposed to talk to kids  about why they shouldn't be in a gang and mess with guns and this school obviously has a problem with that kind of shit.  is he supposed to talk to schools that don't have any of these problems?

@ Slimturk

I'll pay you to shut the fuck up..If your name ain't on an affidavit or subpoena with T.I. name on it then you shouldn't speaking like that..Scarface name was on paper and y'all niggaz still don't want to believe he snitched but there's nobody in T.I. case but he snitched..That nigga lost 10-14 million and that's not counting the money he's payed the judicial system..I guess Pac snitched to get out early too..When you got people with bread behind you and it's more beneficial for you to be out then that's what going to happen..Dumb ass niggaz ain't looking at the fact that he got white folks backing him..Didn't you see them put up money for him initially?

T.I. isn't talking to kids to give back, but to fulfill his sentence requirements.  I'd think y'all knew this dude the way y'all get all emotional about him.  If it were someone you knew, would y'all comment on it at all.  White ain't trippin'.  He a felon buying hardware and hood kids are impressed with that shit.  He couldn't talk to my kids either.  But my kids don't need a rapper to raise them, they got a daddy with high expectations.

GawgaBwoy770 said:

@ Greenishere

Well everybody ain't fortunate enough to have a daddy in this country bruh and some of them need guidance..Don't hold kids to your standards because they have no control over what situation they are raised in..Now to add to it T.I. been giving back to the community and kids..He's had organizations for disadvantaged kids in Atlanta for some years now..So before you open your mouth to speak make sure you have all your ducks in a row..Him fulfilling his requirement ain't shit and that's what's so sweet about his deal because he been doing shit like that but for his own organizations..I ain't going to school you without backing it up so here you go..You talked all that grown man shit so if you are that you should be man enough to admit you were wrong big man..

Truth is, the nigga had to give up information to win back his freedom.  Money and white folks ain't enough to get an already convicted felon off with what he got considering his charges.  Real question is...Who gives a fuck.  These little boys and wannabe gangstas running around talking bout snitch this and snitch that don't even understand what its about.  Who and what is a real gangsta.  Frank Lucas, John Gotti.  If any of you lil pions knew anything about what a gangsta is you would know that any boss in history was a so called snitch.  The fact of the matter is, if you are a boss, or "gangsta" capable of earning and supporting many others in addition to your family...telling to gain your freedom to continue that earning ain't snitching specially when a "snitch" led to your arrest in the first place.  I did 5 years in a penitentiary for not "snitching" and speaking from experience I didn't get no welcoming commitee, nor a medal, money not even a fuckin handshake when I came home from the so called "gangsta's" I protected.  All I got was cursed out by my daughter who now grown, was a baby when I went in.  Her question "daddy how you gon choose them over me".  So when all these dumb ass lil boys who call themselvels "gangsta" talk about snitch this and snitch that...they only represent the destruction of the black race.  If you a nigga in a position like TIP and find yaself facing time and you don't do what you gotta do to take care of your family which ultimately is your only responsibility, you ain't a real G....YOU STUPID.  and when you come home, the only people that will be there for you is the ones you abandoned and they'll let u know...YOU STUPID.  Dumb asses.

@southernfolk

if you've ever been involved in any criminal activity you'd know that there's plenty of people he could have snitched on like uhhhh, the people he was buying the guns to hit?  or the people extorting him?  everybody knows rappers get extorted which is why most of em tool up when they get enough bread to afford it.   The undercover agent was the dude that prolly arrested whatever nigga snitched on T.I.   I think its funny when kids that never had no part of anything relevant to a subject offer opinions.  Bottom line is, if you can get out and you don't...you ain't gangsta, you stupid.  Specially if you leaving a few million and some babies on the table.  Ya'll lil niggas need to shut the fuck up and jus listen to the music.

i mean in all honesty it is kinda funny a nigga keep catching charges and keep gettin out early or on some bullshit but he supposed to be a convicted felon on parole shit look funny to me too though. but who knows maybe the nigga just got it like that hell, i mean if they keep lettin it out it aint his fault but the shit look funny.

and really stop all that positive talk we were all kids at one point and did anything anybody ever said change how we where and it aint now these kids aint thinking bout that nigga or what he say they still gon be bad as hell, in the end

Wasn't he in the movie American Gangsta. He ended up being like his Uncle Frank, but in real life form. I don't call people snitches unless I hear or see it for myself, but if I had just one silencer in my possesion and got caught I would be doing at least 6 years. Smells like Cod and Tuna to me. Free Mike Vick, my neighbors eat dogs all the time and haven't seen a day in jail for it. They taste like OX tail too. Team Kimbo for Life.

@ prince324
you sound like somebody kids shouldn't listen to, for u 2 think what u say to kids wont make a difference..they may not get it now, but it'll sink in as they get older and more experienced..that comment u left sound so hopeless and faithless

So I guess it's aight when what TI has to say is misleading but they wont let him spit somethin positive to the youth, right? That's the system for u, rap about killin a nigga, it's all good, rap about killin some police or throwin a grenade thru the damn white house? UNDER the jail..censored.. FBI agents stalkn u..

T.I. has bragged about the number of cases he has caught, comparing himself to Lil Flip.  Another rapper that sold drugs to his own people in order for him to progress.  Guns, drugs, swagger, not education, hard work, or perseverance.  Even writing this I have not insulted you once, but you diss another black man for not agreeing with you.  More hostility.  For the kids right?

Think about it people!  So yeah he did snitch, if thats what u call naming the murderer of your best friend...

The man had nothing to say, about anything positive that he is adding to Hip-Hop.All he talks about is what he is trying to get..(Typical black person, thats all about thier own personal gain) In my opinion

I co-sign that one my dude...well said!  These internet gangstas are something else!  Talking about street codes and what not from behind a got damn computer...knowing they ain't built like that!  The only thing these cats know about "stop snitching" is that their favorite rapper said it.  Or they saw Eminem wearing a "Free Tony Yayo" t-shirt.  Fuck outta here!

But I been saying that T.I. ain't snitch...he bought that case.  3 Million for bail, what?  AND he still gotta do a year!  So stop with the snitch talk.

As for banning TIP from speaking to the kids...

Let me first say that I live in Atlanta, and the school system is fucked up.  Some counties are on the verge of losing their accreditation.  Especially in counties like Clayton...where kids are still using text books from the 1960s, and I ain't exaggerating when I say that!  ATL needs all the help they can get, and I think TIP (because he is a convicted felon with charges, but still overall successful) speaking to the kids would be a good look and even beneficial to the kids.  It sounds to me that ATL doesn't want to get outdone by a convicted felon.  

The older I get (I'm 28 now), the more and more I see how America operates on a double standard.  It's bullshit...plain and simple.  The best way to reach the youth is either through the youth, or through one who can relate.  America hates it when cats like Jim Brown can mediate between gangs and squash beef that the system can't even squash.  But if one of their heroes did it...please believe that revolution would be televised!

Somebody else was talking about that TI Cincy situation and I kno some niggaz out there too saying that same shit but man who the fuck knows? Its niggaz that got cake to beat shit and its niggaz wit cake that still gotta talk to beat shit. We aint seen no papers saying he cooperated to get a nigga popped off, but at the same time we dont kno what he told them niggaz either. Real shit is we dont personally kno this nigga. We just listen to music! Period. Fuck that who a real gangsta and hustla talk too. U aint real real cause u hustle, or shoot my nigga, u real because u real wit others and yo muthafuckin self. If everybody who hustle was " a Real nigga" then wouldnt nobody in the streets be rattin and niggaz do that shit everyday who "gettin money". So shit is what it is.

@TopOfDa Food Chain
What u said I can relate to, cause one my Uncle's did 7 on the same exact bullshit and came home to da same exact bullshit. He took the charge and them niggaz didnt do shit for him when he was in or when he came home. His sons and daughter felt the same way u said yours did. Some I can relate to how real that shit was!

@ DFW by way of CLE

I ain't saying he didn't snitch but until heads start rolling it ain't a need to assume..I don't know any niggaz getting sentenced before the niggaz they snitched on get arrested..When have you ever seen that done? Until them arrests get made you don't know whether the nigga was lying or not..Bottom line is he already got his time and no one has been arrested..The police in Cincy said the original story about the alleged shooter of T.I. friends being arrested was false..It don't take a rocket scientist my nigga..Most of these square ass niggaz saying he snitched ain't never been in the system nor ever had anyone they were close to in it..

The problem with the world today is it's too many square ass niggaz in positions of power and the real niggaz are following them..So, what i'm saying is why listen to a nigga that don't know shit about shit and ain't never been off the porch? A lot of these niggaz giving negative responses that make perfect sense to them but that's only due to the fact that they don't know enough about certain things to be commenting on them..This is to anybody reading this..Why follow a square when you can be your own leader? Too many of us are being raised to be followers and if you decide to follow someone make sure that person is more knowledgeable than you are..We've turned from a nation of leaders to a nation of followers and that includes all these grown ass men acting like they in love with rappers..Listening to every word these niggaz say and trying to actually live what they are talking about..At the end of the day T.I, Jay, 50, or Wayne ain't taking care of me nor my daughter so I can't be too worried about what's going on with them but common sense is just that..The thing is with some of us sense ain't common, ignorance is..It's the new trend I guess..

@ HTyson

I bet the majority of the teachers and staff ain't and that's what I meant..Read my brother..I clearly said teaching at your childs school..Now I guaruntee if you look at the percentage of black to white teachers in Fulton and Cobb Co. there'll definitely be more white..Also, black teachers do get arrested for dealing with the students but I think it's already been about 5 cases with white women in 2008 alone..That's not even counting all the cases involving white male teachers..I don't like making things racial but the fact of the matter is it is more white teachers sleeping with kids...I bet the amount of deaths at school across the country opposed to molestation is nowhere near the same..

Speaking is ok What's the band is for is it for TI protection?
It's not like he's going to come to the school and say kill each other YEA N@@@@@ but first buy my new CD. I think he's a real N@@@@@ that has learned from his past situation. I think that the only way to stop the violence is to staty involved with the community and become a role model. I don't think one talk would change the students but it is up to the schools and the parents to  follow behind him with making these children change.

peep game:
Now, according to Atlanta radio station, V103, sources claim that authorities know who the triggerman is and have also learned the motive behind the crime through another unrelated arrest.

During "The Ryan Cameron Show," the radio host reported that the motive for the shooting may be over a promoter mistakenly thinking he had T.I. booked for an after party. The promoter supposedly found out that he had been duped by a person who said they could secure an appearance from the rapper. When they found out that T.I. was at another party he went to the location with several other men and waited for T.I. to leave the club.

The men allegedly used a .25 caliber pistol and a 9 mm handgun in the attack on T.I. and members of Grand Hustle, including Johnson. Reportedly one of the assailants was also hit, in apparent exchanged gunfire. He escaped though, and averted detection by being treated for his wound across state lines.

Cameron went on to report that authorities are currently holding two suspects in custody.

The way I see it, you can't be mad at the school system on this one. They made the right choice. What about all the children he's spoken to BEFORE he caught the charges. It nullifies what he's taught, so to alot of them, I'm sure he looks like a hypocrite. To go now and talk to more youth would be pointless unless we knew for SURE that he was done with that lifestyle. Hell, it's supposed to up to the parents ANYWAY. What's REALLY fucked up is that, for those kids we KNOW don't have some kind of authoritive figure in their lives and need help, we don't step up and HELP these kids ourselves as communities. There's no more love, everybody's out for themselves, but, I guess that's just the times we live in...right?

@GawgaBwoy770: I already know you're right. T.I. has BEEN trying to help the community, but the thing is, if he hadn't gotten caught with those guns, (AND NOT THAT HE WON'T GET MORE), cats would've lost their lives. And you KNOW some of them would've had children, who now, would have to be fatherless. It's a never-ending cycle my dude. So in essence, he'd only be helping some, while tearing others down at the same time.

Most of you sound like complete idiots that just play up media hype.

But first and foremost.
@ GawgaBwoy770 -
Do your homework homie before you open your mouth. Who turned this into a race thing? I mean really though? Is that the quickest cop out for you? By a census in 2006, the black teacher to white teacher ratio in Fulton County was 6-2. And half of the Educational Commission for Fulton County is black. So uh, TRY AGAIN on that one. I'm sure the numbers are likewise for Cobb. Get a book and educate yourself. Better yet, try googling shit. Being from ATL myself, we all know that TI has been trying to do good for a long time, all the charity things he's held at Crucial, all the construction projects he's head up, all the money he's tried to put back into the West Side - we ALL KNOW. But the fact of the matter when it comes down to CHILDREN is this ; he's a self glorified 7 time convicted felon. I love TI and I have for years; I'm Serious is a CLASSIC. Do I believe the hype that he's a snitch? Hell no. But we're talking KIDS, and alot has to be put into consideration when talking about them.

@ MsPretty

Okay seriously, did you even understand the point that I was making with that guy or did you just jump in trying to prove a point?  I don't give a damn how many black to white teachers are in either county..The point was he'd rather stop his kid from listening to a young black male that made some mistakes like the rest of us but he's not worried about the old white pedophiles that are and will teach his kids..Now go look up the statistics and pull up how many white teachers opposed to black get arrested for molestation every year since you have so much time to google statistics and come back in here and tell us what you find because that was the point I was making(I don't trust those statistics either but you can post them)..Next time you try jumping in the middle of a conversation make sure you're actually commenting on the point because otherwise you just seem to babble pointless information to the other person..But when I speak to one of my brothers i'm speaking to them..I'm not going to change how I would talk to him if we were face to face because other races or people have an option of reading what i'm saying..I'm not racist but what I said is the truth and if you think it's racially motivated then so be it but I have plenty of friends that would tell you otherwise..I don't sugarcoat shit for nobody and if you can't accept that then that's you..It makes perfect sense to me..

If anyone feels as though they should worry more about what a rapper that's coming to your child school once to speak over the pedophiles that teach them everyday is out there damn mind..There are both black and white but look at the numbers overall and by percentages..Don't hate me hate the truth and change it if you have a problem with it..I didn't create the problem i'm just commenting on it..Like I said it's less kids getting killed, shot or stabbed at school than molested..So, you tell me which one is more important right now..I've known of teachers with drug habits and drinking problems as well even when I was in school..Keep worrying about the rappers instead of the molesters, drug addicts and alcoholics that spend more time with your kids than you on a regular basis...

As for banning TIP from speaking to the kids...

Let me first say that I live in Atlanta, and the school system is fucked up.  Some counties are on the verge of losing their accreditation.  Especially in counties like Clayton...where kids are still using text books from the 1960s, and I ain't exaggerating when I say that!  ATL needs all the help they can get, and I think TIP (because he is a convicted felon with charges, but still overall successful) speaking to the kids would be a good look and even beneficial to the kids.  It sounds to me that ATL doesn't want to get outdone by a convicted felon.  

The older I get (I'm 28 now), the more and more I see how America operates on a double standard.  It's bullshit...plain and simple.  The best way to reach the youth is either through the youth, or through one who can relate.  America hates it when cats like Jim Brown can mediate between gangs and squash beef that the system can't even squash.  But if one of their heroes did it...please believe that revolution would be televised!

Also I wanna say something about this "Snitchin" Thing. I hate how the term is thrown around. A lot of cats be acting like they seen these rappers discovery sheets and all that to prove they were snitchin. If you niggas seen these rappers court papers and all that  and you see they names next to every paragraph that they spit at them pigs then I will agree with you that they are snitchin . and anyways if they are snitchin what does that got to do with how you take care of your family and take care of your business. I dont give a fuck who snitchin or not just as long as you dont snitch on me. I know how it feels to be ratted on and thats a situation I never wanna go through again.

I agree with KAK Deuce as far as picking up trash is concerned. It's too soon, he's too popular and there's too much negative attention around him for him to positively influence anyone who isn't close to him or has come up with him.

@Tony Malibu

I agree with what you said about getting older and realizing how life really is. Not only that but its like that all over the world.

I was raised in the Westside of da A (Allen Temple, Vine City, Simpson Rd and MLK to name a few spots I've lived in)  and am proud to see how far T.I. has come......but I feel that dude fell off. There's no other way to put it. He needs to do something else besides entertainment when all of this clears up. All in all I wish him and his loved ones the best.

Why can't we all just get along? How about we sit around a campfire and listen to "American Terrorist" by Lupe or read and discuss "How the World Really Works" by Alan B Jones. Such media only touches the tip of the iceberg in regards to the true source of our societal problems.

@ topofthefoodchain

I feel what you saying bruh about the way your homebwoys left you high and dry but that's no excuse for snitching if you had your hands in the dirt too..That's unacceptable behavior and if someone ain't man enough to do the time then they shouldn't do the crime..I agree with ol girl about you being a good person to talk to the kids but don't tell them it's okay to snitch..Tell them not to get into it in the first place..I don't agree with snitching if your hands are dirty just to get a lighter sentence..I don't care what another man does I have morals and values that I live by and I won't budge on them for nothing unless it's to help the police on the nigga that snitched on me...The police, lawyers and judges don't snitch on each other when they are wrong so why should I help them unless someone got killed who didn't have anything to do with that life..Snitching to save your own ass is bitch shit..A smart man don't run with a click of niggaz..They do their dirt by their lonely so that there is no one to snitch on and there's no one to snitch on them..If you choose the alternative route then you reap what you sow..Until police and everyone within the judicial system start snitching on each other and treating us fairly i'm not going to put another brother away for shit unless they killed an innocent person...That's just me but to each it's own...

@ Gawga..... Long azz point of snitchin...lol

I agree wit most of that shit. That goes back to what I was saying about everybody sayin they a real nigga because they do this and that. Just cause u in the street dont mean u a real nigga. U real when u live and stay by your moral codes and ethics. If i do dirt then I do it and Ima have to be responsible for it. No matter how I felt about another nigga talkin thats not in me to do because I knew what I was doing. I live by that same code of ethics u talking bout. I dont claim to be no "thug" or "gangsta" neither, Its just certain shit thats in me that wont accept certain shit. I think putting a label on yo self is ignorant than a muthafucka. Be a indivisual. Gawga I'll give u that. Sometimes u be on the left end wit shit, but u always do u and I can respect that shit cause Im the same way. Some niggaz flip flop naturally on shit that aint got nuttin to do wit Street Shit. So which goes back to the whole point of this shit is, we dont know this nigga Clifford Harris. We dont know how he live his life and what codes he live it by. If I believed what he said in his raps then he wouldve shot that shit out wit the niggaz in Cincy. So this music shit is entainment, thats not who niggaz is 4real. I dont know TI personally so I cant vouch for what he will or wont do and some of u niggaz need to do the same thing.

Gawga....I am with you 100% on the whole race issue but alot of you cats are looking at it the wrong way...if you got kids in school you really shouldnt worry about who the hell come and speak cause if you a mother or father to your child you should be the 1 they listen to and if you molding them right they eventually going to follow your guidance....if you worried about the effect a rapper rather its TI, Common or Kanye has to say at a speech what the hell you going to do when they at the local park or playground when someone tell them to do something wrong you be the influence they follow.  I got a daughter and I'm her dad before anything and she is going to listen to what any adult has to say but she wont do what they say so shit you can get the cracc head off the corner and use them as a positive role model....just think this is what you dont wanna be like as simple as that....stop looking to balme everyone except urself this is to the parents....the young ones on here most as Pimp C said "this rap shit is just noise"
