Clifford “T.I.” Harris may be incarcerated in Arkansas Federal facility, but he’s still keeping us updated about his last few days in jail.
In his last message, Tip released a new song called “We Don’t Get Down Like Y’all” featuring B.o.B. (click HERE if you missed it) and I told you then that he’s scheduled to be released September 17, 2011.
This time, Tip reassures his fans that this is it. He’s suffered through jail time and has emerged a much wiser man. He thanks his supporters with one final message from his jail cell…
What up world? This will be my last message from Forrest City. Just reaching out and sending my love, respect and appreciation to all who have been ridin’ with me throughout this chapter in my life and not just recently but since all the things started happening one after another back in ’06.
From Big Phil’s murder to my beautiful little angel Leiah being called home to heaven, to my arrest in ’07, the 1st prison sentence in ’09, to this last journey that I’m nearing the end of.
A lot of people who are aware of all that has happened to me in my life say that there aren’t many men who could have endured and withstood so much pain, pressure and turmoil while managing to remain sane and keep their wits about them.
I must say that I wouldn’t have been able to do so without God’s grace and having a strong support system behind me every step of the way.
So often we spend time acknowledging the presence of “haters” and all the negativity they send our way but we don’t take the time to acknowledge and appreciate all the ones who love and support us and supply us with the positive energy we need to overcome. We complain about the pain so much that we don’t even notice how much stronger, wiser and better of a person the suffering has allowed us to become.
I heard Pac say once “To live is to suffer and to survive is to find meaning in that suffering.”
I later found out it came from an author by the name of Friedrich Nietzsche. When I heard Pac say that it was just some hard shit to hear your favorite rapper say before he kicked a verse. Now that I’ve gone through it and grown from it those words have a real true meaning to me.
I know this won’t be my last battle with adversity but it has truly prepared me for whatever else may come in the future. For that also I’m thankful. Now it goes without saying that I hate I had to come back to prison for these 10 months but I am truly grateful for the knowledge, growth and understanding I’ve received from the experience.
Next time you hear from me I’ll be back out there with you. Doing for those who can’t do for themselves and speaking for those whose voices are never heard. When I touch down, I’m going all the way back to square one, like I’m fresh in the game and never sold a record. Back on some I’M SERIOUS, TRAP MUZIK shit…
But until then RESPECT to all who deserve it. I’ll be back at you in a minute.
- KING
Have you been missing Tip? I’m sure at least one person has… his wife Tiny, who hasn’t been able to see her boo due to unforeseen circumstances. [Sidebar: Those two won't be seen in the sunlight for quite some time when he returns.]
T.I. definitely talks a good game, but is he really a changed man? Only time will tell…

blah blah blah…. he gave this same spill the last time and look at where is is now….. i’m all about folks changing but these celebs need to understand they CHOOSE to be in the spotlight so fans hold their words golden. But when you keep messin up time and time again their words become null and void….. IF he has changed he needs to stay his butt in the house, record, spend time with his family and shut up…… if he don’t do those things he will be back in jail…
That is what I want to know? He pretty much said the same thing and landed right back in jail.
I’m not buying it….T.I. seems like a good dude, but he doesn’t practice what he preach. True we all make mistakes. But to get out of one situation and get into another just doesnt make sense. Last year he just got out of prison and had the world at his hands. He had opportunities opened up to him that most of us who has been in the system never had. True nothing was given to him and he earned what he got. But you have to think about what is more important, your family or your addiction
God gives us many chances..I will not judge him instead I will pray for his strength to do all the right things.
I hope he gets it together for his kids sake!
I WANNA B FREE
I Want To See Him Win, All The Best’ Got Love For That Dude’
save all the messages…just do what youre supposed to dude!
oh TIP..aka Tha KANG stay PHILOSOPHIZING while he’s in JAIL! I guess they having nothing but time…Welp,most give bible verses or become Muslims……TIP gave us a Tupac theory!
he is a dumbass. whatever
My boo is coming home!
I believe god can change anybody the question is do u wanna change
Why can’t this kid get his shit together? What all of a sudden he wants to be a ” street nigga ?” i thought he lived that life before, maybe that prison stint fucked his head up! He ain’t been the same eversince, nigga! You got enuff dough to last for a lifetime, stay your ass in the house, until u can get your shit together!!!
In the words of a FAMOUS rap song “GO SIT DOWN” ! I agree with a comment that was made earlier. Go home be with your familiy,record your music,drink and WHATEVER else at the house. Put yo self on house arrest!!!! When I am home I stay out of trouble.
I have to admit,I am a loyal person to TI but my brother you have got to stay out of the PEN…it is no place for real people of society….if I am your sister and you my brother why cant you look up and realize that failure isnt an option…..
Oh get it together TIP! Praying for you bruh! Its ok. Hopefully it gets better for you.
Do better!!! You have families depending on you, when are you going to "Do The Right Thing" jail is for Losers, don’t you get it???????
IT’S FUNNY HOW SOME PEOPLE GET SO UPSET WITH OTHERS LIVES WHEN YOUR LIFE IS JUST AS BAD!!! SMDH, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP TIP. GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN JUDGE YOU. CAN’T WAIT TIL YOU TOUCH DOWN AND DO YOUR THING!!!!
I hope he have changed..I was mad with him when he got married # igotoveitquick,then he get arrested again that pissed me OFF#immaneedyoutogetittogether ASAP T.I. ((Still a Fan Though))
T.I., T.I.,T.I, Man, listen to TIP because I think there’s so much TRUTH in "MISTAKES made on this road to wealth,I still ain’t FORGAVE MYSELF!"FORGIVE YOURSELF, T.I., FORGIVE YOURSELF,and then on your love for BIG PHIL,get it right THIS TIME! Stay out of slavery,you have everything you need not to be that! In the process you can save your sons(your YOUNG KINGS)from going into it and many others! I was writng you thru TrapMuzik.com around Dec. but no replies so not sure you got them.I was following Killer Mike for awhile on Twitter because of #BURN/PL3DGE. YOU talk about what your sons better not do. If you START to mess up, if you even START to mess up tell Killer Mike I said to kick yo MF’in AZZ! TELL HIM DO THAT! PRAYIN’4 A KING!!!

He’s such a ridiculous fool. Coon-minded. He uses his prison time for publicity and "street cred". He’s rewarded financially and by the media/fans when he heads back to jail YET AGAIN like a "good coon".
If he’s not going to use his media power and influence for the benefit of his people, then he needs to get the f out the damn way, and make way for a real man to set an example to Black people.
And f anyone who tries to step up with that passive, pseudo christian forgiveness BS. Lead by example, by your deeds, or get the f out the damn way!

I hate that he used my fave of all time in "Tupac",One luv to "Pac"….
I wonder who is he speaking of when he refer to "haters"?………..Surely he’s not acting as if his fans who were disappointed in him once again CAUSING HIMSELF TO GO TO PRISON AGAIN,are haters?
It’s evident that TI snitched to get his deal last time because he should have had atleast a 10 year stretch and then the dummy goes out and pop pills in a HIGH PROFILED CAR in LA and yet he is still talking this hater stuff.
It seems that he still has the attitude of "Why me and feel bad because I FOLLOWED THE PIMPS AND PUSHERS IN MY LIFE so SOMEONE else is responsible for my actions ,well he will be doing another stretch in prison,love his music but he is a BIG DUMMY!
Is he ACTING DUMB or is he just dumb as hell?
Still tryna make yoself sound smart. Grow da hell up. Let Tiny live her life. She was famous before u
God said he would judge.
HE’S A FOREVER CHANGING MAN…HE’S A LIBRA. IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT MOOD HE’S IN!
Keep your nose clean Tip and keep it positive.
He will get out of prison then do something stupid to get his behind locked up again. REPEAT OFFENDER
Why is this nigga signing off as "King"? King of what? King of the piglets? King of pills? King of fucking up? Don’t nobody give a shit about you "coming home" cept for Young Dro’s and all them other niggas eating off you. Every nigga that go to jail thank he Tupac….smh
T.I.,I came back to address your connection to PAC. I know you will still be inside, on the day he died. Later, after you get home maybe you can spend a little time with him. Be sure to get all the Judases and Brutuses out of your life. As, I have said, that includes whatever is going on inside of you. Get that Hennessy out and pour U a shot, then 4 PAC pour some out! Then listen, LISTEN MY KING OF THE RHYME, LISTEN TO PAC’S UNTIL THE END OF TIME.Get those broken wings healed KING,get ‘em healed! L.U.V.,(LUV UR VOICES)!
