: MediaTakeOut.com has just learned that a federal judge has denied rapper T.I. bail until a hearing Friday. Federal prosecutors asked that T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., be held without bond until his trial - which is likely to be several months away. The judge decided to postpone his decision until Friday afternoon's court hearing.

I can only pray for him at this point i hope this isn't true because i wanted this brotha to do well. But i agree with ebonyblanco whether he made a stupid decision or not why do you want to see another black man locked up! Damn Tip you were doing so well. I have been to events personally where he is always helping out kids from his old neighborhood, christmas time he had all of bankhead shut down giving out bikes, toys and food to the people still in the projects. I work for a non-profit and anytime we approached his camp for help for kids it was done without a problem and he didn't even want us to mention that he had sponsored alot of activites so it saddens me when i see stuff like this. I just pray these black men will wake up and just know that we are not bigger than the law they wait for us to mess up just so they can turn around and throw it back in our faces. So please black men make better judgements when it comes to stuff like this. There are alot of people that depend on you and they know the way to get us is to kill off, destroy, or lock us up!!!
lucdiamond thanks for clearing that up. Man it would be a sad state of affairs if his bail was denied. Let's hope he is granted bail. Man TI, he is on top of the world right now.I just pray thathe will be released, I hae faith that he has the best lawyers that money can buy. As for Tiny being pregnant, if this be true may god bless her at this time and I hope that this situation does not cause her any distress. FREE TI.

BLACK PEOPLE PLEASE UNITE.
EVERYONE does NOT REALIZE THAT WE CAN NOT LIVE IN THIS "all ABOUT ME" mentality!
ITs BIGGER THAN YOU AND I!!!!!!
ALL THE BEST TI and FAMILY ESPeCIALLY to his KIDS!
I don't CARE what people MAY SAY about TI he still has a FAMILY.
THE TRUTH Of this SITUATION will be EXPOSED!!!
THEY ARE TAKING THE BLACK MAN AWAY even more!!!
BLACK WOMEN stand by your MAN!!!!!
WHY did people like Harriet "Moses" Tubman, Dred Scott, Nat Turner, Sojourner Truth and others like them, work SO hard to break Black people out of the chains of bondage, only to have our young, future leaders trying so hard to get back INTO chains?
What a waste!!! And the fact that a prison term is even glamorized is a GREAT distortion of what SHOULD be values shared in our community!
I would rather have a clean record and be able to at least APPLY and get accepted at McDonald's, than to have a felony record FOR LIFE and NOT be able to even apply to sweep the streets or vote!
WAKE UP PEOPLE! Prison is NOT a location... it's a STATE OF MIND!
@lucdiamond Whether or not he was denied bail is not the issue. He might as well have been denied bail. Why is his hearing put off until Friday? THE COURTS ARE OPEN. THE JUDGE IS IN THE HOUSE. Send that man before the judge! Its just another way of the system not allowing him the freedom under the law, to let him out! DENIED BAIL...HEARING ON FRIDAY. Same [EXPLETIVE]. No freedom until they say so and I don't blame them. What the hell was he gonna do with all those weapons? RIDICULOUS! A lot of these rappers can't seperate their personal business from their stardom and its sad. They aren't stars who made it. They're thugs who got lucky and "can't seperate the good stuff from the junk".
MTO, PLEASE YOU SHOULD LINK THIS STORY TO THE VIDEO OF THE COURT HEARING ON MY WEBSITE. HE WAS NOT DENIED BAIL!!!! wAY TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THAT COURTROOM MAY HAVE EVEN POSTPONED THE HEARING.

All these rappers are dumb as hell for glorifying that lifestyle anyway. If you're doing illegal operations the key to longevity is stayin low key. Why would you commit a crime and then go tell the whole world you did it? All they talk about is movin keys and smokin pounds and extortion and shootin niccaz and then they wonder why they got the hip hop police after they ass! Rappers aint the only ones doin that $hit best believe them white boyz do it too, they just don't talk about it. I know a white boy right now that got bricks and every kind of kush, but if you saw him you would never think he had a dollar. Niccaz always gotta be flashy drawin attention to themselves. You know them [EXPLETIVE] hate that we gettin money...you just giving them an excuse to [EXPLETIVE] wit you! Get Smart you dumb ass niccaz! Do everything in third person....he shoulda had one of his goons buy them burners for him! Hustlenomics 101 you would think a REAL street nicca would know that [EXPLETIVE] by now!!!
Hustleman4, what do you do for a living? Should I even ask? LOL

dayum ti for all you glorifyers do your bizness low key co-sign hustleman the feds,police,law enforcement period loves to lock up ni**** they have a special task force assigned to rappers that sh** is a documented FACT you rap about ki's,guns,pimping,extortion best believe they gon try to build a case on yo azz in some cases they will INVENT one but summa these lames quick to think just because a rapper has a certain image he not or is doing something like kanye,common,lupe don't got street connects yeah keep thinking that that is the key to longevity not saying they are doing anything but they dayum sure KNOW SOMEONE who is chi-town way is quiet but i hope it works out for him hate to see ANY brother locked down p.s. study chicago and learn how to do crime and stay low key lol peace RAPPERS BEWARE HIP HOP POLICE!!!
Keep him in there.
You know what is going to happen when he get's out.
So it is far better to be looking at 5-10 years. Than to be looking at life for Conspiracy to committ murder.
You know his boyz is out looking for some body to shoot - right now. So before all the vilence breaks out - and some one innocent - gets shot up.
Keep his ass in there --- for his own good.
HE JUST NEEDS TO CHILL OUT - WHAT HE DID WAS STUPID -- WHAT THEY HELL DO YOU NEED A SILENCER FOR?
HE WAS ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING ---- THIS IS NOT FOR NO DAMN PROTECTION.
AND ANOTHER THING ------ IF your man is drippin' ice ----- why would you get caught with weed and "X". dahhhhh????
ONE LAST THOUGHT -----
This conspiracy thing - about someone trying to "keep us down" is Bull Sh**.
We can be our own worst enemies...don't need the "powers that be" to hold you down. Just hang on long enough.... Either these crazy fools - start drinking their own koolaide (vick), or they trip themselves up -with the stupid gangsta'thug life you folks want to have.
Let's see rappers invent beef to sell records --- 50 cent & Kanye -
or real beef -- Ja' Rul and 50 cent.
They dis each other on their albums - creating controversey --and hatred. Just like crabs...no need to "GO AFTER' anybody. Wait long enough and folks will do something stupid - like TI did.
Honestly i feel horrible for the kids, police running up in their house, cars outside Dad & Mom in jail, Dad in cuffs, chains around ankles, Mom crying, can u imagine what their dreaming about. T.I should b ashamed of his self for allowing this to go down. If u have security that r licensed to carry guns then why r u tryn to buy them illegally. When the Feds get involved its a wrap and its unfortuate that he was suppose to perform and leading with 9 noms for the BET Hip Hop awards, platinum CD, on top of his game and its all getting sweep from underneath him, just like Vick. U can't put the blame on anyone else but them, granted both of them got they so-called friends snitching on them but at the end of the day when its lights out, u can't really blame anyone but u
someone said, black women stand by your men....TRUE but tiny did and her ass is locked up too. i don't support stupidity, my man or not. there's a fine line b/w loyalty and stupidity. to be a ride or die chick is played out. the numbers of black women incarcerated are on a steady rise. now kidsd have no fathers or mothers. PUHLEASE stand by the man getting his education, the one trying to change his passion/hobby into a business, etc. NOT the hood dope dealer or rapper who still wants to be a hood n&&$@
Below is the info of the judge that will determine if TI will be eligible for bail...all those screaming free TI take some time to write or call and state your case..especially to those like atlsfinest that have positive FACTS about the things TI has done...FREE TI!
Judge Alan J. Baverman

Do NONE of you people read? This dude clearly had firearms within his car he was driving, in HIS closet in HIS safe that read HIS fingerprints.
He should have remembered what happend when his azz got Punk'd. How he was reacting.
Too many blk ppl are dropping the ball. Listen to Minister Farahkahn. HE's the truth!
Please realize that the Feds have a 99% accuracy rate. 9 time out of 10, these ppl have concrete evidence!
And STOP blaming white people for YOUR problems. You are in control of you OWN life. If you screw up, I bet you an Uncle Ruckus officer would bang you up quicker than "whitey".
mixedchick - i really feel your comment. but people will point the finger at whites when you have Hip Hop task force in sectors of local police, Congress is focusing on rap lyrics, etc. many of these guys say how they're harrassed by feds and the irs, like their money isn't legal, etc. too much time is spent chasing these 30 +/- rappers/black men, but actual drug dealers may resume their 'biz' b/c no one's focused on them.... that's crazy.
if this much effort was spent on the enron folks, and people committing crimes that affect the quality of life, this country would be a better place.
This is not a race issue. The feds arrest white people for these types of crimes all the time. This is about a convicted felon acquiring and harboring a cache of illegal weapons. He kept these weapons in his home and in his car - clearly always in the presence of his kids.
Its important that they not only deny bail but convict and keep his ass in jail for the full term. An end needs to put to this glorified, materialistic, gansta lifestyle. What has he gained from this? In an instance he's destroyed his family, his image and has lost his credibility. He hung himself, not the feds. This is an important waking and I hope people stop the whole snitch/set up conspiracy foolishness and recognize that ignorance and stupidity is what landed T.I in jail
@Isis sirbitch is referred to as "boy" or "confused boy" on this site. Thats his new name. LOL.
We don't recognize shim as any type of sir except maybe sirbitch. He came on this site with the intention of trying to get black people to refer to him as someone superior(he is likely over compensating for his tiny weiner). Most have agreed to just ignore him.
Thanks you guys! I dont see a race issue here. I see a lot of grown PEOPLE who dont want to grow up and take responsibility for his/her actions. I don't think CLIFFORD should be freed. He should be made to do his time just as the "Enron Criminals".
The feds STAY on white people ALL the time. Just look at John Gotti. How long did it take the Feds to finally get him? Look at Jeffery Dahmer, Ted Bundy, etc. So don't make this a race issue. Lets make it what it is. An ethics and resposiblity issue.
TI don't deserve bail if he had all the guns in his house that they say he had. Stop with the shyt about the FEDS getting our brothers, our brothers are doing shyt to get caught, and that's when they realize they are only famous, not above the law. Please tell me what did he need all those guns for?
FUGG T.I, Free my brother Chris. T.I's dumb ass belongs in jail for the stupid shyt he was doin. What the fugg do you need silencers for you ignorant bytch? Silencers are only used to kill and get away with it so if you're PROTECTING yourself in self defense you wouldn't need to use a fuggin SILENCER. Dumb ass niggra. What an example to show to your children you stupid ass monkey.
I knew someone on here would blame the "white man" for this. Here we go again. If TI was really set up, you best believe it was probably some jealous thug who was in his inner circle. The TJMS said a bodyguard was talking.
If not, TI is a FOOL for getting involved in gun trafficking. Who does he think he is? Oliver North?
Them crack-- (Feds) know that they can do anything they want to do to us because we are our own emeny and they know it. We have 50% Real Black People and 50% Real Nigg- (Uncle Tom Ass Nigg-) Nigg- like (FOCUS) is Fu-ked up! People like (Focus) don't have sh-t which is why they minds are twisted, but I just hate reading sh-t from folks like that muth-[EXPLETIVE]-- ( Run for the Republican Party B-tch!!) I'm Out
arealprize:
STOP drinking the Koolaid.
What he did was STUPID. What he did had nothing to do with protection.
IF he was collecting for "investment purposes" please. 5 of the 6 guns that they found at his house were loaded.
Gun Collectors don't load the guns they have for "investment purposes"- the gun powder damages the gun barrell over time. (that is why constantly keep them clean).
Before you repeat this nonsense you typed above -you need to educate yourself. Using the defense strategy you layed out - will get him laughed out of court.
Silencers because he has to "protect his hearing". LOL! The Silencers were just "replicas". LMAO
You don't pay $12,000 for 3 machine guns and 2 replica "play" silencers.......
STOP BEING STUPID!
this does really suck.all he ha dto do was get the guns legally with a license. please if he happen to be pakistanian/middle eastern or even from gyanna, he'd be in gitmo island with the terrorist, no dicussion. american feds real tough on everyone right now and more tough on those they already been tough on. let's hope they don't accuse him of being a terrorist, that makes it way worse post 911. living wealthy in america is like a board game. follow the rules and you ok most of the time. if you cheat/break the rules, well shyt can happen. he needs help if he's constantly been in trouble. some people who in and out of jail are poor like my 2 cousins, some are rich like TI. but they the same thing, a man in jail, cause he's troubled and may be afraid of success. sometimes we get brainwashed into thinking that if we get too successful it's wrong or you will be shot down. so sometimes we sabatoge ourselves because of these messages we hear over and over from out elders. god be with his kids. too late for him, he's a grown man damnit.
