Is T.I. Guilty or Innocent for Gun Possession
Your Neighbor hood hero caught slippen again!!! Is T.I. Guilty or Innocent ? 27 year old Clifford Harris was caught for gun possession early last week the day of the B.E.T awards. T.I. is a convicted felon who by state law is not allowed to carry a firearm.
Earlier this month, a federal firearms dealer told the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that a man was inquiring about buying a machine gun without registering the weapon as required, according to a criminal complaint filed Saturday in U.S. District Court in Atlanta.
After trying to buy several machine guns from an undercover ATF agent, the unnamed person began cooperating with the government and said he was buying the machine gun and silencers for Harris, according to the complaint.
The person, a bodyguard for Harris, said he had bought about nine firearms for the rapper, who had given him cash to buy guns four times, the complaint said. As a convicted felon, Harris brokered the deals through his bodyguard, the complaint alleged.
It is against the law for a convicted felon to have another person obtain firearms on their behalf. The rapper arranged to meet with the bodyguard Saturday to exchange cash for weapons, the complaint said.
A native of Atlanta, T.I. sold crack cocaine as a teenager. In 2004, warrants were issued for his arrest on probation violations for a drug conviction, and he was sentenced to three years in jail. It was unclear Saturday how much of the sentence he actually served.
After his arrest in a shopping center parking lot near the awards show site, agents found three firearms in Harris' vehicle, including a loaded firearm between the driver's seat and center console, according to the complaint.
Searching T.I.'s home in the Atlanta suburb of East Point, authorities found six guns in a closet, including three allegedly bought by the bodyguard for the rapper in September, according to the complaint. Agents said five were loaded.The 27-year-old rapper - born Clifford Harris - is charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
U.S. attorney's office spokesman Patrick Crosby said Harris was in federal custody at an undisclosed location. Sydney Margetson, a spokesman for T.I.'s record label, Atlantic Records, declined to comment Saturday evening.

Kayne Crown King !!!
Kanye vs. 50 Cent has been the topic of discussion for most in the hiphop community. As we seen on September the eleventh, Kayne clearly was crown king of hip hop by out selling Mr. Curtis Jackson a.k.a 50 Cent. This type of competition is good for hiphop. The question still remains is hiphop dead? Well according to record sales hiphop it not dead. This should be a wake up call for the industry to relaize people will spend their money on great schemes and marketing.

Is Hiphop Dead or Alive!!!!!
Its 2007 and the question still lingers is hiphop dead or alive? You probably have a better answer than me, my name is Cool Water author of the "Cool Water Report" and a rapper myself. The discussion about hiphop has been an on going topic now for quite sometime.Whether you like the lyrics, or the beats does it really matter if Hiphop is dead or alive, as long as one gets to eat off the fruits of its labor? I think that is the real question that has people feeling like there is no love of the culture for hiphop music? Is money the only thing that people care about? You and every other person will have a different opinion about the statement that was just made. What makes ones' style of rap the realest form of music really can only be decided by the consumer, or person buying the music don't you think? The rap game now is a mulitbillion dollar business unlike twenty years ago when cats where just rapping for the love . Do you think it should or shouldn't be about the money? Do you think that some cats have lost there luster for the game, and are not talking about anything of substance?
