T.I. has stepped over to the right side of the law, according to a report by Livesteez.

Rapper T.I. is teaming up with local Atlanta news station WSB-TV in a new camapign to help fight crime in metro Atlanta neighborhoods. T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr., is stepping in front of the camera, as the face of a new public service announcement to encourage others to report tips about crimes through an anonymous hotline. “Hey, what’s happening y’all? Some people call me Tip, but this is about another kind of tip that could help our mothers, our sisters, our brothers and our fathers to help get the perpetrators who commit crimes against them off the streets ” T.I. says in the video. “All you gotta do is call Crimestoppers Atlanta. Tips can be anonymous and there’s even a reward.” The new campaign, Atlanta Crimestoppers, is the brain child of WSB-TV investigative reporter Mark Winne. “I think T.I.’s street cred is as powerful as anybody we could get to do it,” said Winne. “There is no telling how many lives this PSA may save,” Winne added.

Although one has to wonder whether this was his own idea given the fact that he has spent d@mn near two decades actually committing crimes, we can’t even fault T.I. for standing up against crime and urging others to do the same.

According to a report by Livesteez, Pittsburgh Steeler’s WR Santonio Holmes was busted for possession of marijuana.

Pittsburgh Steeler receiver Santonio Holmes will be charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession after a traffic stop in which police smelled burning marijuana and found marijuana-filled cigars in his car. He’s going to be summoned,” said police Sgt. R. Griffith, meaning Holmes was not arrested after the incident Thursday, but will receive notice of the charge in the mail. The charge, possession of a small amount of marijuana, is punishable by up to a year in jail but probation or a fine is common in most cases. Police said the 24-year-old Holmes acknowledged having marijuana when stopped and pointed out the blunts to officers. “We’re aware of what happened and are still gathering information at this time and will not comment,” Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett said Friday. Holmes and his agent have yet to release a comment, reports the Associated Press. The third-year player didn’t have his license when police stopped him around 4 p.m. near Mellon Arena, the home of hockey’s Pittsburgh Penguins.

Since herb is exceedingly popular here in the states and internationally, the question practically asks itself: Isn’t it time for the legal systems everywhere to concede on the war against Marijuana and try to legitimize it’s sale and distribution?

Livesteez reports Lil Boosie got popped with dank and burners after he pulled up next to one-time flossin’ in a brand new Challenger:

The East Baton Rouge Parish deputies arrested Boosie, born Torrance Hatch, at 4 p.m. after he pulled up next to the deputies at Government Street and Interstate 10 in Louisiana, according to the arrest warrant. The deputies smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the rapper’s white Dodge Challenger. When the deputies approached the vehicle, Hatch refused to get out and attempted to drive away, reports 2TheAdvocate.com.

We can’t tell if these stupid maneuvers are an attempt to get some street cred, or just simple acts of idiocy. You must be retarded to roll up on one-time blazing, or you are trying to sell more records. SMH

Here’s an update on the Lyfe Jennings situation we reported about yesterday:

Jennings, 30, was arrested Sunday on gun charges in Smyrna while trying to locate the mother of his children, police said. The singer/songwriter kicked in the door of a residence on Springwoods Drive in Smyrna while looking for Joy Pound, according to an arrest warrant. He fired the gun in the street and later tried to run from the Smyrna police when they arrived, police said. Smyrna police chased Jennings after receiving a call about a gunshot fired. Police followed Jennings in his red Corvette along Concord Road, where he was going about 70 mph according to the warrant. Once he was stopped, Jennings refused a field sobriety test. The warrant said he “had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” coming from his breath. He posted a $50,000 bond Monday night. In addition to the gun charges and trespassing, he has been charged with eluding police and driving under the influence, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Having your albums go platinum is something to strive for. Getting back to jail so no one takes your prison ID number; not so much. Did he just negate all of the positive messages that he tries to put out there with his music?

Go to Livesteez for the full fledged idiocy.

They are trying to pile up more dogsh*t for Michael Vick, but hopefully, “The Man” will let him go:

Suspended NFL player Michael Vick is expected to enter a guilty plea next week to the state dogfighting charges he faces in Virginia. Surry County Circuit Court administrator Sally Neblett says a hearing has been scheduled for Oct. 30 on a motion to hear a videotaped plea from the jailed Atlanta Falcons quarterback. The Virginian-Pilot reported that Vick hopes his guilty plea to the state charges will earn him an early release from federal prison based on documents filed in Surry County Circuit Court. Vick is currently serving a 23-month sentence on felony charges related to dogfighting.

The egotistical and delusional people involved in this now are strictly trying to get a name. People have molested children and have not went through as much sh*t as this.

For the full report go to Livesteez.

Lyfe Jennings is in a wee bit of trouble:

R&B bigshot Lyfe Jennings just got nabbed by Georgia police for allegedly shooting off a gun, taking cops on a chase in a Corvette, and refusing to take a DUI test. Smyrna, Ga. police tell us they were responding to a gunshots fired call when they spotted Jennings’ Vette hightailing it away from the scene. A chase ensued and Jennings eventually crashed. He was charged with felony weapon possession by a convicted felon. and he faces charges of attempting to elude, as well as discharging a firearm near a public highway and refusing to take the sobriety test.

Poor thang.

Lil Wayne’s assistant was on the stand telling the truth, aka snitchin:

Lil Wayne’s assistant, Terry Bourgeois, testified in a New York court today (October 20) that he occasionally saw a handgun and people smoking marijuana in the rapper’s tour bus. As reported earlier, Lil Wayne was arrested on a weapons possession charge last July after a 9mm was found in his tour bus following a performance with Ja Rule at Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre. A police officer testified last month she saw Lil Wayne trying to hide a gun when she boarded the bus but Bourgeois testified Monday that he never saw Lil Wayne with a gun on the night of his arrest. He also said he didn’t know whether a gun was on the bus. Wayne, who appeared at the hearing, has pleaded not guilty to the gun charges. He faces to three and a half years in prison if convicted. The case will resume in December.

He should know better than to be so flagrant with his gun toting, weed smoking, syrup sipping ways. Hopefully he’s been scared straight as his wee stature will have him being passed around the pen like a bl*nt.
