  • K-ten

    lol..

    TI should have said, “don’t just sit around the house all day if you have nothing to do, get out and vote!!”

  • CAT EYES

    HOW THE HELL IS A CONVICTED FELON THAT CAN’T EVEN VOTE GONNA TRY TO TELL PEOPLE WHO TO VOTE FOR?LMAO

  • bree

    T.I. [sigh].. :-D

  • MissT

    T.I. needs to sit his gun buying ass down. Another celebrity who makes ignorant decisions, then expects everyone to forgive and forget. And you wonder why children are throwed off, this is who they idolize. Ciara is an “Aaliyah” wanna be… she can dance, but the vocals ain’t hittin, next…

  • so 510 bay

    ahh TI im soo glad he’s back he’s so cute…

    but aint the democratic race almost over? they shoulda did this couple months ago

  • Lyte Bright

    @tyrone

    LMAO….true, true. but who else has has this generations attention more than them that they will listen to?

  • Applegrrl25

    TI better act enthusiastic about reaching out to the community and using his celebrity for good…it’s a part of the deal the judge gave him! Gone head boy and avoid that jail time!!

  • that one girl

    I thought t.i was on house arrest? Ciara weave lookin cute like always.

  • Southern Belle 225

    Ciara is looking so much better these days. Kudos to her!

  • SMH

    I swear some of yall are crazy HATERS with nothing better to do!! This has NOTHING to to with them(especially Ciara) as performers, and it’s not even about TI’s previous convictions. This is about getting young people to vote.I’m so glad that celebs are getting involved, because a lot of young people listen to and follow what their favorite celeb is saying and doing(I have no clue why). So maybe now that these celebs are getting involved more young people will exercise their right to vote.

  • I’m Just Me

    GOOD THEY ARE BOTH DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE AND TO ENCOURAGE VOTING. GOOD MOVE YOU TWO!

  • Brooklyn, Stand UP!

    Is that Ciara on the 50 Cent album (Curtis)

    Someone told me that was her.

  • J

    How much you wanna bet someone gets killed in Philly this weekend?

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    I support Barack Obama 100%

  • Necy

    I agree with dimple pink

    T.I needs to be worry about staying out of jail.

    he is a bad influence to his fans and most importantly to his KIDS.

    think about your KIDS before you do stupid things people.

  • Necy

    and Go OBAMA !!!

    OBAMA for change, bring my brother and the rest of the troops home …

  • Hazelnut

    Uhhh, first of all T.I. cannot vote as a convicted felon….And, Ciara is probably not even registered. She does not strike me as being politically aware..

  • Mocha

    Everyone is absolutely right.

    How dare they promote voter registration amongst the youth! The audacity!

    smh

  • Jewels

    @Hazelnut

    Im sorry… what does politically aware look like? Im curious…

    It’s not about people being haters on these two. They can yell go vote all they like, but what is that child HEARING at home or on the street?

    TI and guys like him (Bow Wow, Soulja Boy) are chosen to do this versus guys like Hill Harper, Romeo or Mario. They don’t appeal to the lowest common dummy (Black kids).

    It’s just that how is TI going to tell folk to vote and he can’t. They always want to get these rappers that can’t vote or lie about voting.

    How about TI explain how you can lose that right to vote trying to be a thug.

  • http://www.lovingmeans@aol.com 1TruDiva w/ The PlatinumVocals!!!

    Damn!

    Couldn’t they find someone who at least is ABLE to vote to promote it?

    BTW–Won’t his ankle bracelet interfer with the sound? Giving off feedback and sh*t!!!!!!!!

    I’m just asking.

  • Babegyrl

    Since when does house arrest mean you can travel to another state…… Or did he get special permission from the judge like R. Kelly did when he went on tour…..

    I’m just asking

  • http://www.lovingmeans@aol.com 1TruDiva w/ The PlatinumVocals!!!

    lol @ Babegyrl!

    We’re just asking.

  • http://www.lovingmeans@aol.com 1TruDiva w/ The PlatinumVocals!!!

    We just wanna know some things.

    That’s all.

    Lol!!!

  • an asshole

    We are going to encourage young people to go out to vote. I personally know the value of having the right to vote and it taken away from you, but I will add my voice to help inspire others to take seriously this right and responsibility

  • Smilebme

    Good for them. Especially T.I., he is doing his community service. Maybe talking about a right that has been taken from him, b/c he’s a felony. Will inspire others.. not to go that route.

    Ci’s my girl…And how does she “look” like she doesn’t participate in policital views?? At least that are doing SOMETHING!

  • Ara

    Alright!! if they can get people out to vote that’s a good thing. Also, I don’t see why a convicted felon has to lose his or her voting rights forever, seems like after their debt to society has been paid their voting priveleges should be restored. That’s a lot of black votes lost because of the current law pertaining to convicted felons, does’nt seem fair.

    Barack Obama President!! Yes We Can!!

  • and another one..

    Damn T.I could get it! Go Obama!

  • Hazelnut

    @ Jewels, you stated, “@Hazelnut

    Im sorry… what does politically aware look like? Im curious…”

    I said that Ciara does not “strike” me as being politically aware in that she does not give particularly insightful, intelligent, or meangingful interviews. Basically, I have never heard her say a word concerning politics or our nation.

    Now do you get the point? Striking someone in a certain manner does not necessarily mean physical appearance…

  • spontaneous

    Being political is the new cool thing to do. Most celebs are getting involved in one way or another. TI has to do community service so he might as well start with getting young people to vote. If he speaks from the standpoint of I messed up and now I’ve lost my right so exercise yours and stay out of trouble so you won’t be like me, it will be a good thing.

  • andie

    So T.I. can’t vote anymore can he? He’s a convicted fellon, right?

    I’m pretty sure felons can’t vote, right?

  • beautiful b

    can T.I even vote? for real?

  • beautiful b

    i see the question has been aasked by more than little ol me.

  • beautiful b

    @ Its6amHogetOut…damn u made a good point.

  • As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free

    Yes great way to have a positive role model to get young kids to vote, I’m sure Barak Obama stands for money, cash , hoes and strong family values just like T.I.!
