According to Livesteez, T.I. and Ambassador Andrew Young have teamed up to stop violence:

Rapper T.I. and United Nations ambassador Andrew Young, are joining forces in a new TV documentary taking aim at gun violence in the U.S. The film focuses on T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr., making amends for his federal firearms offenses. Young, an advocate for peace around the world, premiered the hour-long film, “Walking With Guns,” on Sunday in Atlanta. It includes extensive footage of the Grammy-winning artist visiting a rehabilitation hospital in New York to meet patients paralyzed by gang violence. The film also shows T.I. and Young telling young people how to avoid violence, and follows a former gang member who is now a social activist, according to the Associated Press. The film, part of a series called “Andrew Young Presents,” is expected to begin airing Nov. 2 on TV stations around the country. “Violence would still be around without guns,” T.I. said to over 400 attendees during a question-and-answer session after the screening. “But there would be an increased value of life.”

Good work, Clifford. He is working hard to clean up his image before his stint.

    Take a note ppl when we know better we do better. Nothing wrong with making a mends for past mistakes. This is what Hip Hop suppose to be about about, giving back, making a better world for the children. I am proud of T.I. and I don’t care why he’s doing it, I’m just glad that he is

    I have gained so much respect for TI since all this happened. Although it shouldnt take facing prison time to do good, at least he is trying to make a difference. Other rappers need to follow in his steps and start working toward stopping it, instead of glamorizing it. Rappers stop wearing stop sniching shirts and talking about how cool you are for being a drug dealer and set a good example for all the children that aspire to be like you. these rappers wanted to become big superstars so they could get out the hood and get away from that life, but once they get famous, they wanna act like being a “hood figga” is the best they can do. Dam, help these kids get out of the hood too, promote education so they can do something positive with their lives.

    Man…He should have had this state of mind before he slipped and tried to cop them hammers!

    He is speaking from experience, and I can respect that. The sad part is, though, people will listen to his music and recite his lyrics all day every day, but when it comes down to listening to something positive, they will ridicule, instead of taking it for what its worth, most people will have something negative to say about him for doing this….
