FOR THE NIGGAS WHO TRY TO SLICK DISS

Community work
T.I. has stepped up his community involvement as well, taking the lead on several initiatives to help the victims devastated by Hurricane Katrina, including personally donating $50,000 to the relief effort while leading an on-air Labor Day pledge drive on Atlanta's V-103 FM that raised over $263,000 for Mississippi rapper David Banner's "Heal the Hood" Foundation. He also partnered with David Banner and Atlanta newcomer Young Jeezy for a two-day food and clothing drive at Atlanta's Club Vision and co-headlined a massive benefit concert on September 17, sharing the bill with heavyweights such as Nelly, OutKast's Big Boi, and David Banner - with 100 percent of the proceeds going to "Heal the Hood".

In addition to his Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, T.I. worked with troubled youths at Paulding Detention Center in Atlanta, provided scholarships for single parent families at Boys and Girls Clubs, and headlined Boost Mobile's RockCorps concert at New York's Radio City Music Hall, which featured such performers as Fat Joe, Slim Thug, and Kanye West, and was held exclusively for community service volunteers. In June 2005, The Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes Foundation, named for the deceased member of multi-platinum female group TLC, and Atlanta's V-103 honored T.I. with the 2005 Lisa Lopes Award for groundbreaking achievements in music and community service which was court ordered. With this steady list of growing accomplishments T.I. is being recognized as the "Jay-Z of the South." according to Pharrell Williams of multi-platinum production team The Neptunes.[20]

T.I. has joined forces again with the Make-A-Wish foundation to grant an Orlando teen's wish. He joined labelmate/protege Young Dro on stage for a taping at The Showtime At The Apollo to meet 15 year old Sara Labare on October 15 at the Apollo Theatre. Labare, who suffers from an autoimmune disorder, received a digital camera,an autographed poster, CDs, and sat in the front row during T.I.'s performance. T.I. has granted a total of 3 wishes.

T.I. kept a fan smiling when he showed up at 11-year-old Ajmal Acklin's, who suffers from acute lymblastic leukemia with Christmas gifts. Hot-107.9 announcer Griff asked the 11 year old does he like T.I. and Acklin responded "Yes" and his favorite song was "What You Know". Griff told him that T.I. was here and the 11-year-old's eyes lit up. T.I. walked in and said: "How you doing, I just wanted to come see how you're doing ... I heard the church bought you a PlayStation 3, so I got you some games". One by one, each visitor offered their prayers and well wishes, ending with A-Team intern Ree Williams doing a stirring a capella version of the gospel tune "Even Me". Before she hit the last note Ajmal's mom ducked into the kitchen, tears in her eyes.

T.I.'s King Foundation is also scheduled to donate 10,000 bikes to the Boys & Girls Club in New Orleans.

T.I.'s night club, Club Crucial, where he and V-103 announcer Greg Street will give away 200 bicycles to neighborhood children in the Boys & Girls Club.[21]

shynebb4life..? I'm sorry, i didn't see your name listed as a contributor....
"Among those who responded, all with sizeable pledges, were Big Boi, Busta Rhymes, Neyo, Wyclef Jean, Jermaine Dupri, Mr. Collipark, DJ Toomp, Polow Da Don, Bow Wow, Warner Music Group Executive Vice President Kevin Lyles, Devyne Stephens of Upfront Records, Matthew Knowles and Alex Gidewon of AG Entertainment."

Give me a minute, I'm gonna read the article again....nope. Didn't see you mentioned as donating 1 of the 200 turkeys either. You should complain and tell these writers to STOP typing with that invisible font when it comes to mentioning your good deeds.

SMOOCHES!

while i know that these rappers could have donated more money, it's still a real good look. and hopefully it will move more people to pitch in.

i hope the haters stay off that "t.i. is just trying to get his time reduced" bullshit, because like Twon shows above that T.I. has been giving back to the community for a minute, it's not some shit he just started since he got in trouble.

a good day for hip-hop.

PROPS TO ALL OF THEM FOR GIVING BACK, ALWAYS. HOWEVER, THIS IN NO WAY FIXES THE FUCK UP T.I. DID. HE IS TRYING TO STAY IN THE MEDIA NOW WITH ALL THIS KINDRED SPIRIT TYPE OF STUFF. BUT THE FACT IS, THIS IS A PITCH TO GARNER SYMPATHY NOW AND SORRY BUT IT WILL NOT HELP HIS CASE.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RAISING THIS MONEY PRIOR TO OCTOBER 13 AND NOT BUYING AND STASHING WEAPONS.

"YOU CAN PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG AND CALL IT A TOP MODEL. BUT THAT DON'T MAKE IT TRUE."

NOW, WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT? I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HIM BECAUSE HE HAD THE OPPURTUNITY TO TURN SHIT AROUND FOR HIPHOP. HE WAS STEPPING INTO THE POSITION AS A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE GENRE. AND THEN TO PULL THIS MESS. HE MADE THE GAME, TEN TIMES WORSE FOR THE OTHER ARTIST WHO GET JACKED UP MY THE HIPHOP POLICE. THEY WILL USE T.I.'S CASE AND SITUATION AS A PRESENDENCE NOW, TO EXCUSE THEIR BULLSHIT ASS PROFILING. AND DON'T ACT LIKE YALL DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WILL. THAT IS WHY I AM ANGRY WITH T.I. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS. HE'D MADE IT OUT.

IF IT'S TRULY FROM THE HEART, THEN DON'T ADVERTISE IT, AS YOU HAVEN'T IN PRIOR SITUATIONS. BECAUSE ALL IT LOOKS LIKE IS A "GIMMICK" NOW. YOU SUPPLY FELONS IN YOUR OLD COMMUNITY WITH TOOLS TO KILL OFF YOUR COMMUNITY HOMIE. THEN YOU FEED THEM TOO. KEEP EM HEALTHY TILL THEY GET SHOT UP? HOW AMERICAN OF YOU! :SMH:

DONATE THE WEAPONS MONEY TOO, INSTEAD OF BUYING WEAPONS. HELLO?

He didn't write this article, nor has he written any of the articles post his arrest. As a high profile artist, his deeds good or bad will in some way make it to the media. You're assuming his actions are part of some sympathy play. If that was the case, don't you think he'd tap into world interest and not just local interest?
