The King is back with a new song called “No Matter What.” Since October 26, rapper T.I. had been on a court-ordered house arrest for allegedly attempting to purchase three machine guns and two silencers. While awaiting his trial T.I. pened a new album. The album, titled Paper Trail, is a reference to T.I.'s return to writing his lyrics on paper, which he hasn't done since releasing his first album I'm Serious almost seven years go. Paper Trail is due in stores this September.




For the TV viewers without cable or satellite who couldn’t catch Mr. Sean Combs form Da Band, Danity Kane, or Day26 on MTV, the CW network teamed up with burlesque-team-turned-pop-group the Pussycat Dolls, to create Girlicious. The first track to be released from the group is Like Me which features Jazze Pha. Girlicious' debut album is set to drop on July 1st.

T.I. Will Remain In Jail


T.I. will remain in jail on weapons charges for at least another week, after a federal judge on Friday denied any immediate release on bond. U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman said he will hold another hearing next Friday to further consider conditions proposed by the rap star’s lawyers that may prompt him to release their client pending trial. T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, Jr., was arraigned at the Friday hearing. He entered a plea of not guilty to the weapons charges. Lawyers for Harris proposed that he be released on a $2.2 million bond, along with separate bonds backed by his record company, record company executives and the equity of his two homes.


Judge Baverman is not playing around. He doesn’t care about your Free T.I. t-shirts and he doesn’t care about T.I.’s property value. He doesn’t even care about the bigwigs at Atlantic Records and Warner Brothers who put up their own money to back T.I.’s $2.2 million dollar bond.
He wants to see $2.2 million in cash, upfront, like a ransom straight out of a South American corporate kidnapping. He even asked for equity in T.I.’s mom’s property, until the lawyers told him that she didnt have any. What the hell! What’s next…does your grandmother have any savings bonds, Mr. Harris? A coin collection?


Here’s just some of what TI’s lawyers proposed:
-TI gives up his driver’s license and his passport.

-He submits to random drug testing.

-He pays for a court-appointed monitor to live in his house, and watch him 24 hours a day, making sure he never leaves, and searching everyone that goes in and out of the house. There would also be some sort of electronic monitoring (ankle cuff?).

-He offered equity in his homes, worth $1.5 million.

-And 5 record execs signed bonds for another $700,000.

T.I.'s Gun Collection


The Feds held a press conference today in downtown Atlanta to display the collection of revolvers, automatic rifles, machine guns and pistols found in rapper T.I.'s home and car. Although T.I. claims to be a collector he is also a convicted felon and popular rapper who obtained the weapons by illegal means and that is what makes this is a national news story. Plus the rapper was in possesion of drugs.
