Bossip folk, this looks like it might just be a great one for those all those lil’ knuckleheads out there to peep.  It seems like TI will be talking “that real,” which is the only way to reach those thugs-in-training.

Who’s checking for this show when it premieres Feb. 10th?

  • sickofitt

    I might watch as long as The office, or the first 48 or true blood, or snapped, or anything else that I like is not on. But then again, I am digging this new NFL on demand. I love football and it would be nice to watch football again once the season is over.

  • Niecey

    How about you get an education…

  • FridayPhillyGrownYoungWoman

    it would probably take someone like t.i. to show these young boys that being a thug is not all it’s cracked-up to be.

  • chiney k

    damn T.I deserves an award for hardest working entertainer before going to jail

  • cutemama007

    Yawwnnn… I’m so tired of these “tv shows” nowadays. Id rather shovel dirt than watch this crap. :)

  • sexygurl24lib

  • knottmyhair

    it takes a lot 4 sum people to learn and if this did it 4 him then great…i love T.I…i just hope he doesnt get his salad tossed….ewwwwwwwww! that may be why he’s doing this show so that it doesnt happen…especially if the other convicts dont know is he’s being recorded at all times…i bet when he gets out he’s gonna have a bomb azz album….and everybody is not college material…we have all kinds out there…thats why the world is so different…nobody will be the same…you do what you do and they’ll do what they do….don’t hate on rappers who call themselves “Gangstas”!as long as they not around here doing killing spree’s.

  • da darkness

    eff that number one artist talk. he gonna be making that tv paper and probably have the number one show, course that show is really hard. Big things are mos def poppin! Ain’t thay though…..Black male can fix anything, what you know about that?

    & this is why i am so in love with this man. if he is faking it he is a great actor but it honestly seems like he has matured & grown into a MAN he realizes he mistakes his shortcomings weaknesses & strengths & tryn to become a better man thats what its all about… & to those who say education honey u can can have all the education in the world but if u aint got common sense plus street sense u aint got ya self a thing but a piece a paper how many college graduates u know who either have the same type of job as those who didnt go to college or even lower positions then those who didnt go to college as opposed to the # of people who didnt EVER go to college but successfully run & own their own companies & are very wealthy so no college is NOT everything stop hating! & oh yea i have my BA in Healthcare Management so im no dummy but i also have common & street sense and i was making 70,000/yr BEFORE i went to college

  • THE BISHOP, I pimp the pimp who pimps the h*es

    Too bad so sad he wasn’t thinking about all of this before he decided to become an arms dealer without a license. Rich people do this type of thing all the time the only difference is skin color and daddy’s lack of political influence. TI I hope you go into deep contemplation during your stay as a ‘new slave.’ I hope that you read every non-fiction book ever written. I hope to see you debating at Cambridge and Oxford like Malcolm use to back in the day. I’m not counting this brother out, because I truly believe he allowed his fame, past, and fear to drag him into HELL ‘aka’ Jail. George W. Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, and Gates should be in prison.

    this is something that i will watch, finally a reality show with a message.

  • niasia

    In his lyrics he expresses that the life aint all that it is hyped up to be. “Thug life” is something that is hard to get out of of. Think about, this is all these young people know. If you grow up around professionals that is what you will know. If you grow up around Street niggas….well what do you think you will get? It is an aweful cycle and it will take years for black people to break it! I hope he is able to change the few he has contact with! Its hard out here and if you don’t have the proper guidance you aint goin far!!! And if you never have proper rearing how can you even have a clue as to how to give it your children! Don’t be so quick to make judgemental statements if you are not even making an effort to help your community! People with the education need to give back…when I go to my elementary school to volunteer this Monday (in memory of MLK)…I know, as always there will be more whites than blacks at a school in the heart of the “hood”. It is sad! So before you come out with your they need an education blah blah blah make sure you doin your part to help the community! And giving to your thievin ass “pastor” doesn’t count!

  • E$

    If he never got caught, he would still be doing that same ol’ bull – T.I. straight corny now

  • *MiSsUnderSto0d*

    Tip seXii as hell, damn rite im chekkn for dis show..luvz him..

  • BrownRound

    He’s got an awesome PR crew. America loves redemption laced sh*t. I predict he won’t go to jail because of all of his “redemption efforts” this year.

    Name one crime affiliated artist who has admitted wrong to America and showed us that they are sorry by giving back to the communtiy.

    It’s a genius idea!

    Are you really serious with this comment?! You are the epitome of a “nigga”. BTW Ignorance is NOT bliss. What are u doing to help your community? Are you talkin to these kids on the block or hooked up wit gangs? Im pretty sure you are NOT. I don’t care if this is for money or fame or even a lighter sentence. The moments he is spending with these kids is changing their lives. All he’s doing is showing them a better way. So before you pass judgement, take a look at yourself. Ask yourself what are you doing to save our young black youth?! From the looks of it…alot of blacks are doing absolutely NOTHING. I applaud him for his good intentions.

  • enitsirk30

    Damn that sound like it might really be good. I am so sick of reality tv but that looks like must see tv.

    It is hard not to be skeptical of yet another reality show. The basic principle is inspiring but the need for televised, on camera recognition, is over-rated and overdone. We will see if this is a purposeful, meaningful glimpse into TI’s life and his need to make a difference or if it will be yet another scripted “reality” show of celeb self-promotion taking up empty television time.
