Rapper TI Stops Suicidal Man From Jumping Off Building

[RuffneckRy]

Some of these coments LOL! A black guy went to jail, so what? It happens all the time!

[Ichibaz]

"J-lo unless i'm not coming down" is Jello, i wanna meet barack?

[Ichibaz]

TI is aunthie in the transcription?

[antimatter07]

nazi the look... subtitles are evil

[ItsAllGood5225]

All the people leavin comments sayin what he was locked up 4 r idiots cos ur wrong y dont u go and find out why he was locked up and when u do still dont tell evry1 about it as if ur a fuckin genius . . Fuck you people

[lauren6452]

@spaik007 Ti is the greatest rapper in the world

[parisianna87]

Sounds like a set up, but then again maybe it isn't?

[bkny718s]

i never heard of this ever .. but what if just for a second maybe he paid the guy to do or say thoes things to get favor in court has anyone thought of that

[blackburgerKING]

bless you TI ! see u in heaven :D

[feldman30012]

T.I DID THIS FOR PUBLICITY!

[hioncheesenips]

Didn't the young turks commit genocide against the armenian people?

[dramost]

whats sad about justice is that we judge someone for his wrong action, and we forget all the good thing the men did. i mean sure youve got to be punish for your bad action but you gain nothing for his good action and thats not true justice

[asntoful]

yes boss............. asi se ase man

[lucas1821000]

nd a ve isso ai eim ¬¬

[MrDopekid7]

T.i. daa KiiNGG!

[IIBEZII]

Saved by your creation.

[Thephobia21]

WHEN UR RICH THEY DONT GIVE A SHIT

NO MERCY

[MrNikk2fresh]

Exactly why is weed illegal its less harmful than alcohol imagine if everyone smoked a joint: World Peace

[Kreator613]

@MrNikk2fresh you know, everyone says that, but what happens when your average stoner runs out of weed?

they go nuts.

[cujomade101]

Rap still sucks huge dick!

[fishonegg]

@cujomaso does your mum ;)

[RatchetSouth]

quit hatin on TI

[Narceoda]

They kind've looked at it the wrong way. I don't think he changed his mind just because "a celebrity walked by"... it's the fact that it's likely that guy felt, among many other things, that no one gave a shit about him.

It's the fact that we usually associate someone's fame with their importance in life and society, and that someone so famous (And so so important) would take the time out of their life to come help you, which in turn makes you feel important and worth it.

[marswun]

t.i set the whole thing up cus he didnt want to go to jail, just like road to redemption,

[Scorpion24]

Those two are so stupid which i guess is why they are on youtube

[rainbowsavage82]

regardless if he a fuckin rapper or a fuckin burger flipper he still had the heart to step in i really wudnt give a fuck wat he is he saved a man's life......mama always say once ppl knows sumthin bad about you they will hold it over your head all your life unless you givin them somethin....

[GCrAcKa808]

good on T.I → the tv show in the video fuckin blows tho

[paramojose]

He told him...."You can have whatever you liiiiike...."

[arandomdude33]

you guys are fucking retarted

[bigdeuce02]

Probably the most Noble thing He's Done. Plus I did'nt catch any of this on the regulated Media Networks. So..........

[NeilioXtreme]

Oh, he just broke the law (multiple times), but it's OK, he had a publicity stunt. That's TYT for you, making nonsense.

[LazieBoiBB]

FUCK T.I.'s BITCH ASS.

[redopaclipce420]

.............

[ManMan60100]

Real niggaz do real thing - The Notorious B.I.G. P.s. Tip really cares! Just like that show he had helping out the youngstas! -Man-Man 6-0 hustler (Check me out @ manman60100 on youtube).

[CocoaBrownSkinLady]

lmfao @ 0:35

[lauralikes]

ti is sooo fuckin fine

[TheGreenerItGets]

Cool beans.

[Madorem]

social responsibility what you know about that

[nataniellek]

Not funny Anna.

[metalrox555]

@nataniellek Nah, I found it pretty funny

[HavokTheBadBoy]

@OLDUNCLEFRANK Dude You have no idea what rap is if you really think its all about killing people you need to examine it alittle more

[cousinbecky]

who the heck is ti?

[diz096]

@cousinbecky Who are you lol cousinbecky.... Should get a lamer name.

[GiftedKidd]

@cousinbecky ur joking right?

[sdrawkcabgnipytmi]

@cousinbecky

my reaction exactly.

[Chris12163]

Remember, Celebrities have power that us normal people don't have.

[OldUncleFrank]

So wait a minute, when are these damn rappers gonna make their mind up? First they're all about killing people and how that's so great and now they're going out saving people's lives? You would have thought that'd be against some kind of rapper code wouldn't you?

I ain't buying any of it. What's he done that he don't want you to know about? If one of these rappers helps you you can bet he's killed your dog at least.

How about sending up a real musician next time?

[BreakingLondonOn]

@OldUncleFrank Are you serious, it's hilarious everyone judges rap when they know absoulutly nothing about it, everything you said proves you know nothing, i've listened to rock AND rap my whole life, rap code? wtf Rappers are all about killing? wtf then how do eminem, lil wayne, and T.i. all have children they care for every day if they kill people and support it? your just ignorant

[ihavemonkeysinmybutt]

@OldUncleFrank Wow. another uneducated Bigot on You-tube. please don't breed. your one of the many reasons this country is going down in the slums.

[ThisPageStaysREAL]

@OldUncleFrank Send a real musician next time? I guess the "real musicians" couldnt be botherd to help save a life. Because a rapper steps up to the plate, all you can do is spew some negativity? Wow.. you're a real credit to the abortion rights movement arent ya Unc?

[Joxman2k]

D'oH!

:P



[Useyno]

He's black plus he's a rich rap star/actor/former hustler and he's from the South that's enough to work against you.

[BorgKing001]

I guess this rapper took a page out of Tom Cruise's playbook

[TheManSand322]

It's not the power of celebrities, it's the stupidity of Americans

[GlobeNinja]

@TheManSand322 just as cenk was saying that i was reading your comment, couldnt agree more.

[NecroArmorLink]

I want Cenk and Ana to talk me down a ledge!

[dotd53]

What's sucks is that TI did get sentenced to 11 months for having a personal use sized amount of Ecstasy. Which in my opinion is a drug that people should be allowed to take at their own discretion.11 months for some hits of Ecstasy that he was going to use privately. It's not like he was a dealer or using it to harm someone else. He is just an adult that wanted to get high and yet our country believes it has the right to dictate what substances you can put into your own body. Fuck the Drug War!

[etf2929]

@dotd53 u dont take hits u clown its a pill in boston we call it the e pill

[dotd53]

@etf2929 fuck you you fuckin' chowder head. i know what e is. i know it's a fuckin' pill. where i'm from we don't use pussy ass terms like 'pill'. where i'm from it's called a hit. You probably also say 'marijuana cigarette' instead of joint you pussy ass bitch. fuck you and fuck boston.

[inteltag]

@dotd53 where u fr0m that they say a hit??? iv never heard 0f that in my life and i heard s0 many namez 4 it??? evry 1 callz it a pill cuz its a fuckn pill???

[MidwestKid616]

@dotd53 Ecstasy is the most likely substance to make you commit rape

[THADI0US]

@MidwestKid616 Ecstasy does not make you commit rape or anything for that matter, it's like saying black people are more likely to commit rape than white people, it's bullshit ecstasy doesn't make you want to rape people it will probably get you horny, but wether you act on it is your choice and anyways you don't have to rape someone to have sex.

[inteltag]

@THADI0US u d0 if u ugly lol but 4 reals ppl that say that never p0ppd b4 or if u getting th0z ideas you probably shouldn't be lol 

[THADI0US]

@inteltag Ugly, can you define it?

[Palmer640]

@dotd53 It's not like he made the drug himself, so yes he was 'fueling a drug dealer', so to speak.

And if you knew anything about politics and microeconomics, it really has little-to-nothing to do with putting a substance in to your own body.

Also, 11 months is pretty light, so he got off easy either way.

[dotd53]

@Palmer640 ur right i don't know anything about politics or microeconomics. i never have time to study those subjects 'cause i'm too busy fucking your mom every day.

[Palmer640]

@dotd53 Wow, are you fucking 12 years old or something?

[xAvodinhx]

@Palmer640 support your argument on why you think he/she's 12 years old. To me, their opinion on the subject is perfectly fine.

[Palmer640]

@xAvodinhx It would be different if he was disagreeing, but he replied to what I said saying something childish like "I was busy fuckin your mom" or something stupid like that. Very pre-teen 'child-edque' if you ask me.

[CCGamingStudios]

@Palmer640 He's right, the whole drug issue IS stupid, regulation of drugs being legal and sellable would actually decrease crime and increase the economy, and a drug like ecstasy or marijuana usually never have an effect on society. hell, if anything, tobacco should be against the law, it's much worse.

[bolcrackexpress]

@dotd53 No dude thats not why he got 11months... the fact he was in possesion would never give him that much time it would be breach of conditions... "for violating the terms of his probation, specifically for possessing ecstasy, testing positive for opiates and associating with a convicted felon"

[aznboyyeah]

@dotd53 ti was caught with weapons...u dumb fuck

[ninatheresar]

@dotd53 seems like you have no idea what you're talkin about. He's been in jail because he was caught with guns. stupid MF.

[amberlynn2109]

@ninatheresar the FIRST time he went to jail for having illegal armory. Then he got out for maybe 3 months and he, and Tiny, got busted with a bunch of weed and ecstasy (while on probation for the previous charge)

the 2nd time he went in, it wasn't that publicized.

[horuseyes]

I dont even know who TI is.

[bestkeptsecretout]

Baby Boy My Lil Brother Don't Sweat Small Stuff 11 Months Would Hurt A Chump

Not A "Original G" Like TIP!!! Hey "To All His Fair Weather Friends And Fans" Kiss T.I. & Lil Wayne's Ass When Ya'll Bouncing To His Joints And Having Fun With His Music It's All Good Yet Soon As It Start To Sprinkle Rain Ya'll Run Away Like Roaches When Someone Turn On The Lights That Just Ain't Right!!! I'm Just Saying!!!

[UndeadLight]

If I'm ever on a ledge I wan MC Hammer...

[kazooga1234]

@UndeadLight screw those celebratys i would want a youtuber

[furionmmr]

ana looks hot

[cindyluvsdemselandjb]

ehhh if this is true, then good for TI. but i'm not fully buying. this seemed to come right around the time when TI suppose to go to court??? =-=

[dgallegos4201]

He's still a criminal.

[Heatherbtime]

@dgallegos4201 but drugs are not a good reasons for people to go to jail anyways..

[spaik007]

I have no idea who rapper TI is.

But he did good saving that guy from himself.

[YABOYSUPERFRESH]

@spaik007 look up these songs (their by TI)

"what you know about that"

"what ever you like" (witch is wat tha lady was talkin bout at tha beggining)

"why you wanna"

"you dont me"

and a recent song "im back"

also look up "track 7 of fuck a mixtape'

[lovejessica531]

@YABOYSUPERFRESH how about "no matter what"

[YABOYSUPERFRESH]

@lovejessica531 oh yeh ifergot haha, that song go harrd as hell, iuse 2 claim it as mytheme song haha juss bcuz it was hella iLL

[lauren6452]

@spaik007 Ti is the greatest rapper in the world

[afonscp]

I'm not buying it.

[ThaGenius101]

...and TI is still going to get 11 months in prison. But Lindsey and Paris gets off scott free with cocaine charges.

[mylightside]

Who the fuck is TI? Seriously USA. I will never subscribe to the "Fat, ignorant, overly patriotic" stereotype that gets thrown at Americans, but the level of celebrity worship in your culture is insane.

[whydoesthismatter]

@mylightside Yeah because paparazzi started here

[sushanalone]

id be convinced if he tried to convince a guy but he still committed suicide, that would sound like a true story.in highschool i used to discuss about imitating such scenarios to get fame. old school tricks.

[sushanalone]

Smells like fish, and a movie.

[tafxkz]

around 18 years ago there was a similar story where Micheal Jackson does an impromptu dance to save a man on a ledge

[elmirasahar]

Honestly, and i know i am going to get a lot of shit for this, but this is BAD. i honestly think more people are going to attempt suicide for attention. Dont give people who do this media attention. if someone is stupid enough to end their life because of some "bad luck" LET THEM.

[BreakingLondonOn]

@elmirasahar you clearly have not the slightest clue about depression, or what real problems are like, because at one time I didn't, and i thought the same as you, but seriously, there was a bus driver who was minding his own buisness in my city, and 2 kids from a school group walked right in front of him, nothing he could do, not his fault but could you live with that?? next time you need cheering up I hope everyone says to you what you just said, if your stupid enough to end your life over bad

[elmirasahar]

@BreakingLondonOn heres the thing, i have people in my family who have depression. I GET THAT. but there are some kids who do it for such LITTLE things. and it pisses me off, because there are so many people who would wish to HAVE that life, and this person just throws it away.

[BreakingLondonOn]

@elmirasahar luck, go ahead.

[jalexander305]

Oh well I lohan can walk after repeated drug offenses so should T.I all weapons aside the celebrity double standard doesn't apply to rappers ask lil Wayne

[A86]

@jalexander305 - It doesn't really apply to any black celebs. Wesley Snipes is no rapper and he got 3 years in jail. O.J. Simpson just walked on a technicality. Had the prosecutors not been corrupt enough to plant evidence his black ass would have been in jail just like they do with other black celebrities.

[cherri7]

@A86 i read that wesley snipes didnt pay taxes for 10 yrs. no matter what race you are they;'ll put you in jail for that....

[A86]

@cherri7 - Wesley already paid back all his taxes. It's not like he still has an outstanding debt. Besides, how often do they arrest celebs for not paying taxes? I think they're trying to make an example out of Snipes.

[ASRIBEIRIO]

To make a correction, it's not at all clear this was a legitimate attempt at a suicide. Psychologists have long identified there is a huge difference between someone who does commit suicide and someone who attempts to commit suicide. Failed suicide attempts are usually cases where the person has no real intention of committing suicide, but instead is using it as a means of seeking out help. My guess is that he was never really going to kill himself, otherwise he would be dead.

[ASRIBEIRIO]

Uh, for people that suffer from depression the whole concept of ups and downs is mostly non-existent. You lose the ability to derive happiness from the "ups" - or you become so depressed you shut yourself off from any possible ups.

[rania3830]

this is a PR stunt pure and simple. And this stunt still didn't save him from going back to jail. yesterday he was sentence to 11 months in jail. so he still has to go back to the slammer.

[treid100182]

This is bullshit...pure propaganda.

[njabulani]

he should've let him jump. Life won't get better cause T.I. said so.

[hothotheat3000]

This was completely staged, and his ass is STILL going to jail!

[lawquiet314]

too bad this didn't help him in court because he was just sentenced to 11 months

[grahamkeithtodd]

well done TI for showing COPASSION! a quality that is all too rare these days!

[terrazzo82]

i like hearing anna, cenk just say's obvious shit and repeats himself, Like we didn't get it the first time.

[gongoozler18]

@terrazzo82 He has to repeat himself for the slow people in the audience like you.

[LilJay03]

That's all it took to talk him out of suicide? A lady who called it in said he was on the rooftop for about an hour. If he was serious about killing himself he wouldn't have waited that long, because he knew he would've probably chickened out. Now is it staged? I don't know. Did T.I milk that opportunity? Hellz yea. And meanwhile Lohan and Hilton are holding cocaine and shit and they jsut get sentenced to rehab. :/

[wssher]

At least the man wasn't down low....

[ipwnm00bs]

@wssher TO THE WINDOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

[LordOfFreedom]

A nice story, though let's hope people don't start faking this to see celebrities lol.

[RoundSquareX]

There was a guy my supervisor in the Navy knew who jumped off the tower of our aircraft carrier, he talked about how he was one of the guys who had to spray away the blood off the pier. Suicides happen, it just doesn't always get talked about. And sometimes our response to people in need just fucking sucks. "It will get better" what a joke to someone in deep chronic psychological pain.

[JuanLMFAO]

im going to threaten to commit suicide and ask for Demint, so i can tell him he started the recession!

[Efficacious24]

Alan Greenspan (former Federal Reserve Chairman) now works for John Paulson's fund. Guess what John Paulson's fund's BIGGEST position is right now? GOLD. . Don't say you weren't told. Protect your families wealth. Visit: goldsave.co/

[moviedude22]

LOL not gonna lie..Ana sold that first quote for me. COMPLETELY. she done good. "Stacks on ice..."

[supertaj1800]

yeah, T.I. paid for this story, it was for sure a show.

[ananez89]

this is a nice story eventhough it all seems set up. oh and Jim DeMint started the recession

[34601k]

@mailmanstancan Dude shut the fuck up.

[VolatileReaction]

@mailmanstancan So no one who sings about violence can do something good in real life? You should not be the one calling others dumb, especially when you have such a poor grasp of the English language. Have you ever heard of grammar? It's what humans use to properly construct sentences.

[MrBawbawbawbawbaw]

@GJNCA its fake.

[akirafactor]

This is what happens when you listen to too much lil wayne or little greasy as I call him.

[MrBawbawbawbawbaw]

publicity stunt

[MiZZVMN]

@MrBawbawbawbawbaw Definitly.

[vegetabro]

THIS DOUCHE SHOULD HAVE DIED t.i. did not say nething any idiot couldn't say go suck t.i.s dick u fucking pussy i'm not for suicide but a celeb to take u down bitchass

[GUCCImontana420]

TI still a dumbass for getting caught with a pill charge after lawyers got his ass off the gun charges, smdh

[Leadman1989]

i don't mean to be a debbie downer

but this guy is just gonna kiss a bus later on

[2pac4realu]

The moral of this story is......Pick better publicity stunts!

[readynow12345]

HE's going to prison hahahaha, and tried to bitch up in front of the judge, oh please don't send me to prison im such an influence on the young folks, God sent me, this is my calling, this is the biggest joke mother fucker in the world, not only is his music horrible, he's a little bitch.

[kousoulides]

T I is the KRAKEN??

[greattimed]

Erm... So all TI did was talk to the guy AFTER he was off the building???? Oh please TYT seems to be on the money regarding politics and economics but simple entertainment fluff..... er not so much. TI did not do anything.

[VolatileReaction]

@greattimed From what I understand, the man only came down when he was told that he could talk to T.I. (or TI or whatever it is).

[Phoboskomboa]

I love that he heard about the story and rushed over.

TO THE TI MOBILE!

[Reggis420]

4 people think Jim DeMint didn't start the recession

[krazy1113086]

yeah right...didnt TI just get out of jail?...i will bet money tht this shit was staged...just to get TI sum brownie points...of course hes gonna do sumthin to try and look like the ultimate good guy...

[megagagnon1]

The great philosopher/politician Sharon Angle told the suicidal man "If life deals you lemons, make lemonaid". Then she quietly walked away from the ledge and let TI take the credit.

[p717]

Cenk skimmed Bill Hicks's "It's just a ride" monologue. That particular soliloquy would be the perfect bit to use when someone is suicidal.

[MegaFisher1234]

why do peopleeven litsen to these people they are a stupid democratic news station on youtube.

[xanos4225]

@MegaFisher1234 Because of DeMint. It's his fault.

[Bystronicman08]

@MegaFisher1234 It spelled LISTEN and if you don't like the show don't watch it.Just leave the video if you don't agree with.Whining like a little bitch solves nothing.

[VolatileReaction]

@MegaFisher1234 "stupid democratic news station on youtube"

Don't you mean a stupid progressive commentary show that posts clips from their podcast onto YouTube? And people "litsen" because they're entertaining.

[LegendaryAsshole]

Cenk is a realist damn right Cenk.

[JayRocFly]

its fake people, its to reduce his sentence

[Mr1700]

you're suppose to do good. thats society. you do good because its expected and you are punished for crimes. ti needs prison. if ti doesnt go to jail then they need to realese thousands of prisoners who had hard times and chose to do something illegaly.

[jeanselina]

@davefgranger if you want to meet a celebrity, pretend to be suicidal.

[dcincdsr]

i wouldnt be suprised if TI set it to up reduce time on probation.

[TRUTHS2YOUARELIES2ME]

@dcincdsr I believe you hit the nail right on the head. Excellent observation!

[osoblanco91]

I would have been like "JUMP YOU PUSSY!!!!!"

[Finiras]

i would be like, huh TI, who the hell is that?

[Bizzer10]

When i read the title, i thought this was an Onion story

[nett103]

@Bizzer10 The Onion thought about doing a similar story but thought it was too outlandish and unbelievable.

[upabittoolate]

This is definitely a work. 

[neverine2000]

total publicity stunt, I bet he has a new album coming out....



[thegreatestbak3]

maybe it was a setup

[Gabrielregalado2]

4 people tried to commit suicide and noone cared

[KidFromNewYork]

Ana, work on your delivery a bit... "so what happened was this guy was on a 22-story building, and this was on the news" just tell us the story first

[nemo3590]

@moonmilk15 That would have been me. I'd never heard of him before this video.

[nemo3590]

If I stood on a ledge and threatened to jump, would it be possible to get Ana to come over there and talk me down?

[StoneTNo5]

stop being a pussy and jump lol

[ephii5]

the guy wasnt gonna kill himself if he was really gonna do it and was really srs he wouldnt of told any one and of just killed him self in his home the fact he went 2 the top of a building shows he just wanted attention
