hes done if he goes to jail
if he does 8 years, he won't be done

he'd come out at 35, and still have a decent rap career (like Pimp C)...just it would be a waste of what is supposed to be his best years, and he's literally on top of the south right now..he'd come back, but as a middle-tier dude

He should lock himself in a room everyday and bang out 3 albums. Try to make up some new slang to be ahead of his time.

You're comparing T.I. with Pimp C? I believe you're a good kid, but you admire this guy too much... I mean... T.I. still has a long way to go to be as influential and important as Pimp C before he went to jail :P

Pimp C may be a good rapper & a very influential figure in the south, but popularity in form of record sales has to also be taken into account, and when was the last time Pimp C or UGK sold as much as T.I.'s last 3 albums??

T.i. has proven over the last few years that his fan base is damn solid & strong..T.I. vs. T.I.P. didn't even have any groundbreaking singles (in terms of success) and boy is already platinum.

it would be crazy to say he'll come back in 7-8 years and still be on top..but if dude gets the minimum 5 year sentence if convicted on all charges, he'll serve 4 the most, and his career will be just fine

No Bail For Tip....

from www.xxlmag.com

T.I. was denied bond during his appearance in federal court this afternoon. The rapper was arrested on Saturday afternoon on federal weapons charges. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Tip appeared before U.S. Magistrate Alan Baverman with his hands and legs shackled, and answered “Yes, sir,” and “Yes, your honor,” when asked if he understood his charges. He reportedly made eye contact with family members who were present in the standing room only courtroom. Prosecutors have asked the judge to hold Tip without bail until his trial, which could take several months to get under way. Baverman scheduled a hearing for Friday to determine whether there was probable cause for the rapper’s arrest and whether or not he will qualify for bond.

aren't they making the decision on friday to let him have bail or not?? that's what i'm taking from that story :-\

we see what happens if he gets bail or not on friday

good news (if any) is he's got 2 guest appearance videos just waiting to be released to keep a buzz going while he fights this shit off (DJ Drama's 5000 One's & Big Kuntry's That's Right). If he can get bail, I think Scarface is probably going to shoot a video for Big Dogg Status as well.

I completely agree C is a legend, pioneer and veteran. I was using Pimp C because he's the first southern artist that comes 2 mind that recently finished a pretty long prison stint, came out of jail, and resumed his career to a decent extent. I see that for T.I. if he faces 7-8 years (assuming he'd want to continue his career at about 35-37).

true..from my understanding, I heard they postponed the bail hearing until Friday for other reasons and not necessarily "denied him bail" but just thought it'd be more appropriate to wait until Friday before making that decision

I think he'll get bail

true. But certain artists just don't go away no matter what there coast is doing & how active it is (look at snoop & game). I think T.I. is that kind of rapper 2 the south (hot heads relax, i'm NOT trying 2 compare him to snoop or game)

If he comes out in 7-10 years, I think he'll be decent. If he comes out in 3-5, he'll be even better...gonna be near impossible to be at the status he is right now though
Title: Re: T.I.
Post by: Lunatic on October 15, 2007, 03:33:07 PM
They just said on BET that 10 years is the most he can face if convicted, and i doubt he'll see maximum sentencing (10 i believe that is)
Title: Re: T.I.
Post by: Styles1 on October 15, 2007, 03:34:52 PM
Snoop stayed active and in the eyes of the public because he stayed out of jail. If The Game were to go in for 10 years, he would not be the same artist with the same impact. Same with Snoop.

When you are out of the public's eye for a long time, it extremely hurts you. Especially in the ever changing world of hip hop were an artists shine usually only lasts several years (on the average).

By being "in" the only time you will see T.I. (if he gets a long sentence) is when The Source does those "Rappers In Jail" issues every 6 months...

True..He'll be coming out with albums i'm sure while in prison though

again, I think he will be received back sort of like Pimp C will be

and i doubt he gon do more than 6-7 years...hopefully he can beat this shit though

You may be able to put those guns on somebody else but the guns in his house............dude better have a Johnny Cochran like attorney to get him off. Its alot of evidence even if the bodyguard decided not to cooperate. I heard they have T.I. talking on tape about getting the guns.
