Rapper T.I.'s New Reality

“Ain’t I been to jail enough times for you to know how to treat me when I come home?” 

STUNNED BY DRE
That's what Clifford Harris asks his wife Tameka Harris during the first episode of his new reality show "Family Hustle" which premiers tonight on VH1. Mr. Harris also known by his fans as T.I. embarked on a new hustle where he puts his family life out on the table for all to see and VH1 is banking on a hit. We think they will get exactly that as T.I.'s fans will get their hunger for more fulfilled. The rapper has seen his share of legal troubles and did his time. Now he is out and focused on expanding his hip hop empire across film and television and is taking his family for the ride, naturally.

There’s Ward Cleaver, Mike Brady and now T.I., a family patriarch and provider, loving husband, and charming father of six attention-seeking children. T.I. is handsome, wears a shawl-collar cardigan well and has phenomenal teeth — teeth that could get you out of some sticky situations by shine alone.

Rapper T.I. moved from prison to half way house, almost home

If you're a fan of Atlanta based rapper T.I. you will be happy to know that he has been released from prison and is now at a halfway house. The pint sized rapper who is serving a 366-day sentence after pleading guilty to gun charges in March was moved from Arkansas’ low-security Forrest City facility to a halfway house in his Atlanta hometown. So basically the boy is home!! well almost. He is scheduled for release March 26, 2010. We're just hoping he doesn't feel the need to make a dark album about his short stay in the cage. Just come home and make the music you've gotten us all hooked on over the years.

After finishing his sentence, T.I. will still have to complete 500 hours of community service and about 23 days of home confinement. T.I. reached a plea bargain after being charged with owning three machine guns and two silencers, which constituted a significant parole violation. The rapper was arrested the night of October 2007’s BET Awards and placed under house arrest, during which time he wrote songs for his latest LP Paper Trail.
