  • from 1:46 TI sounds like my granmama

  • Fair enough, T.I. isn't perfect and isn't a role model but at least he is using his life and his experience to show kids the right way forward in life. He isn't saying be like me, he is saying look at what I've done and where I've gone wrong and be better yourself.

  • Seriously? Total PR Stunt...

  • LMFAO MAN TI STILL IN FED'S U DUMB ASS.HE STILL LOCKED UP ON VILATION ON DRUG CHARGES!IF U DONT KNO JACK STAY OFF THIS WALL

  • He don't give a fk he just doing that to get outta jail, hypocrite, he just ganna go back to doing the same thing he always did once he gets out, I think he's been out idk who cares.

  • what does 'no im po' mean?

  • and where is T.I now ?

  • hmm get rich first thennnnnn party! i like!

  • i don't see why everyone gives a shit seems 2 me too many people are obsessed with celebrities and their lives and not worried bout their own everybody judges others and i think judgin' is necessary, but they judge before they even look at themselves for a second the man claimed to be a gangsta talked bout poppin' off constantly then all of a sudden it was bout money i jus' wonder if people eva gon' realize how much bullshit is in this music and industry

  • Is this a Part of a bigger episode?

  • What he's saying is misleading considered the actions but I do have respect for this man -- He's going out of his way and taking time out of his life to speak to kids, that's the bottom line.

    Oh and "What are you celebratin'? This is not the time to party!"...very well said. LOL.

  • WOW T.I that so amazing..... wat a man! wow..impressed!

  • @ Str33tFiGhTer1 - I'm hard pressed to disagree with you. Every time he say's gettin his Life back on track, he ends up Back in Jail. He's always talkin about how he sick and Tired of gettin LOCKED up, yet B Y EXAMPLE he's NOT setting a very good example for the youth. Worst of all, he's GOT 4 children of his OWN. Now I like TIP and his Music, but his actions speak louder than anything. And we can't very well be expecting more albums from such a talented artist when he's always behind bars.

  • @shyjayb Ya know, as much as I would like to disagree with you, you're right but I think you're only kinda right. Now I was truly one of those people who thought he was finna get his stuff together. Seems I was wrong. However, I do feel as though he's actually tired of the incarcerated cycle he seems to entrap himself in. Hopefully this last time will be the last time because I know we all tired of hearing "I'm sorry."

  • lol that nigga was buyin a machine gun and a silencer hahah

  • This is all bullshit. He more or less admitted in the beginning he did it to save his own ass. Hes obviously an un educated gun toting drug addict. This shit is hypocritical to the max.

  • TI has got some good points to what he's saying thats for sure. But actions speak more than words and his actions have lead him to jail twice now. What gives him the rights to talk to these children and think that he can tell them what to do and what not to do.....nothin. He's a fuckin punk. Gooday.

  • Why the fuck was T.I buying guns?

  • @6Fail9 why not?

  • @Shahin38258 cuz he is smarter then that?

  • @6Fail9 touche

  • @6Fail9 to protect himself!

  • @whoscarednotme ahh don't feed me the bull shit..

  • @6Fail9 do u even know the story n shit about why? if not look it up on your own..i wasnt feeding you any bullshit!

  • ti should have his own crackdown show haha

  • fools need to get off T.I. about going to jail a 2nd time. for what? 2 pills of ecstasy?? that ain't right, sure he violated probation but he is on probation for GUNS, not drugs. I'm not saying at ALL that he is not in the wrong for having/doing drugs, but does it really deserve another 11 months in prison?? How is that teaching him a lesson? Drug rehab would've been much more useful and sensible in my opinion, but our judicial system is all fucked up and trying to "set an example". Free T.I.!

  • @lilmissIsis he doesn't deserve it! :( #FREETIP

  • what a fucking loser, saying no to parties and yes to school?! hahaha fuck that shit, smoke da weed and fuck school

  • Hey, T.I is telling the true, lol if you guys say that he is talking shit, than you are gona be sorry for telling bullshit like that.

  • Dunno about "number one artist in the country". But the rest is the truth, if you aint got nothing to celebrate, why the fuck should you party?

  • no offense to TI or nothin' but why did they pick him to speak on this subject? obviously he didn't stay in school and obviously he parties.

  • I say no to T.I. and yes to parties!

  • @poukichi cool story bro

  • T.I.'s a fuckin pussy.

  • @Str33tFiGhTeR1

    Go fuck your granny punk!

  • @alexcomplex1 AHAHAHA that was probablly the worst dis i ever heard...not in a good way.

  • ti is a fag

  • Cmon now you believe this shit....haha look into his eyes

  • thats is so fucking true the richer you are the better the party's will be because u have the money to get want u want for the party and have the money to get what u want at the party

  • i have so much respect for him :]

  • @ProPeace2014 how? he's a fuckin loser

  • @Str33tFiGhTeR1

    because he has some amazing ideas , he's really smart , and has taken his experiences from the 'hood' and used them to help other young people.

  • @ProPeace2014 His rap sucks...he's about to go to jail and he thinks he has the right to tell children what to do. On top of that he's going to jail again....he's a fucking thug hypocryte.

  • @Str33tFiGhTeR1

    mmm , the fact that he's about to be thrown back in the cage bothers me ., :/

  • ay DONT get me wrong, i like t.i. but i jus think its kinda wierd that he did this right before going to jail for a year, and as soon as he got out he did something wrong again and now hes going back to jail already! kinda makes me think fix ya self before u start preachin to folks cuz if the kids see that hes going bak theyll be like t.i. was bull shittin!

  • @Realill100 the point is if you can save yourself save the rest of them.think samrt before you talk stupid.

  • @Realill100 cause he is talking about what happens when u do something wrong. not everyone is perfect and that is what he is trying to say.

  • bitch dis T.I.P Cuszo and he was jus make in an exsample

  • @Realill100 this is a kind of comment that would gather hate. I understand what u saying & u are right. but ! To preach is to express ones understanding of the world & the different places it has taken him. no one can preach about the future all our lives are directed by mistakes. it takes generations to straighten out. support & help the ones who take the first step in coming face to face. "I always new the right way. but i never took it u know why ? it was to dam hard." "sent of women"

  • @Realill100 dnt get me wrong ti is a good rapper and maybe even a good person but he was bull shittin he needed a lighter sentence so he had to do sumthin to lower it

  • @Realill100 "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" - Ben Franklin. It takes a lot to change a lifestyle and uproot all the problems. TI might never stop getting arrested. But the kids who haven't already made the mistakes can benefit from being told, by someone who knows all too well, not to let the seeds of delinquency take root. I see this as a positive thing.

  • @Realill100 Practice what you preach is a little misunderstood.People can say that all they want but life is all about mistakes and you will continue to make mistakes regardless of who you are.T.I. has been around things like that his entire life and you can't all of a sudden become a saint.It's like people with drug addiction.They just can't change that overnight it takes time.T.I. made another mistake but he will continue to make mistakes life every human being.Only God makes no mistakes.

  • @Realill100 A bad example is still an example

  • sweet vid

  • if i wz those kids i wouldn't of just sat there...i would've went up and screamed like a fan :P

  • EMINEM AND T.I. are the realest rappers. Seriously.

  • @xPenelopeRenesmeex them 2 & chamillionaire hes underated!

  • This is mentally draining, and incredibly tiring.

  • I WISH I HAD THIS MAN AROUND ME

    he seems smart an i bet he got sum CrAzY STORIES

  • Don't kid yourself: T.I. didn't get a reduced sentence because he did good things for the community, he got a reduced sentence because he took the cheese.

  • all eminem s fans COPY AND PASTE,today october 10 we have to beat up justin bieber,you have to see not afraid .paste it on others videos.dont see justin faggot bieber videos

  • @RadioActiveXbox360 not cool.

  • @xPenelopeRenesmeex What isnt cool?

  • i remember seeing this and a few other lectures with this thing on vh1 called behind the music with ti or something and the next day i remember they said he got arrested for having X in his bus with his girlfriend

  • excuse u but eminem is the top arist son

  • i don't care if it's real or fake, at least TI is making some sense and presenting an image of a minority actually doing something and gving a shit...rock on, TI...

  • what does he says at 1:25 parties only get better when you what'??

  • T.I. has a point though, true stuff...

  • I'M GETTING TIRED OF THIS XFINITY AD!

  • the lecture he gave educates me too, so true

  • Real nigga. Reminds me of 2pac, almost. Good on him. Much respect

  • @anonymootle except tupac was a rapist and a douche....

  • @trickstaboy Nah. But your opinion aint much to me, since you're no doubt a Weezy fanboy and think Soulja Boy is the best rapper 'eva'

  • TI is such a great guy and an amazing rapper, (:

  • It's important that a guy like this talks to young people.. year an besides hes an impressive rapper..

  • I'm starting to respect T.I more now. But why the fuck should he make songs about bitches,cars and money when he makes so much sense?

  • @nonofyall Because he got money and parties got better,means he can do what ever he likes.He is done.

  • @TadsKadsNekadNebusi That's also called selling out.

  • 7 time felon high school drop out? definately not a role model. lil ti is a fucking bitch and id knock his pretty ass out if i saw him publicly dont call me a hater either. because dude is a fucking prick and trys to always use big words to make himself sound smart. ol clifford needs to take a fucking english class

  • @lv71389 lol no... i think his big ass bodyguard would beat ur bitch ass back to ur trailerpark before u even get within 20 feet of him

  • @2Trill2ILL i dont live in the trailer park and i remember back in the day when rappers didnt need "bodyguards"

  • @lv71389 man i would knock yo bitch ass out 4 sayin some stupid shit like that nigga i dont give a fuck cuz you a7 time felon and and high school drop out like thats something 2 be proud of ole dum ass lil boi im from louisiana and growin up was harder than a bitch but you dont see me thinkin like a stupid ass nigga , instead of dowin ti want you try to find awy to get some money like that nigga insteadof callin him abitch . fuckin hater

  • @MrKoopa5252 you wouldnt do shit what are you 13? you type like my 8 year old sister when shes mad. as ti would say you are flabbergasting my peripheral and i digress but my conglomerate is fufilled like kat williams says aint nothin worse than a smart dumb nigga. ok so thats the couch right?

  • TI is the word!

  • i cant believe you guys actually like TI. Hes an ok rapper..and when it comes to actually being there for the community he isnt there. public speaking just to help himself out..why hasnt he been doing this before? He raps about the dumbest shit hes not real. only like one or two songs are. hes just as bad as soulja boy. only diff is people that have been commenting here saying TI is this and that actually exist cause they want to think hes real cause he lived a hard life. Fuck that shit lol.

  • dyu knw wah .. he needs to carry on with thiss,, not only is it better for him

    but ddem boisz n girls will learn sutiin ..

    dnt knw if he means what hes doin , but it was real good of him to do so ..

    hope the girls and boys learn from it :)

    he doesnt have to change ala dem but if it contributes to atleast someone going to school more and wantin to do sutin more den it'l help :)

    bless himm

    still hesz chooong hehe xD xxx

  • T.I.P. KING

  • I love T.i....one of the best rappers out there...but is he the best person to set the right example for kids? His lyrics seem to oppose what he preaching to the children... Now before people respond with ""shut up hater""... Seriously think about it, then respond appropriately.

  • @0403555555 to a certain demographic, yes. songs are just songs, and while they obviously carry SOME meaning, T.I. speaking directly to the youth (i believe) carries a whole lot more --- as he seems to want the best for these kids and not to go down the same path he went down (and raps about)

  • @0403555555 shut up bixth

  • lifes not about money, cars and clothes..

  • @murk619 lifes not about money, cars and clothes, but it gets a lot better when you have those

  • STAY in school

    STAY out of gangs

    say NO to drugs

    and oh yea its the king BITCH

  • omg T.I. is soo deep. esp the one with the dead gang member in the coffin. dayum life hits u hard then

  • u kno u powd do b home studying... i luv d accent

  • ya you fucking stupid ass kids and teens, stay in skool and stop drinking underage and getting drunk and stay off the drugs , your not impressing any one and no one thinks your kool when your getting drunk or doing drugs

  • @Jsouthwell2006 maybe u shud stop talkin lyk that and be more presentful to them.. then they just myt learn fromn yu ina gud wai . fool.

  • @l1nz1b maybe you should learn how to spell, fool

  • He kept it 100% with them kids, thats my guy

  • Ti looks like a chinise

  • @AddictedKitteh so???

  • The King has returned all who tried to foal his place need to stiep aside and thank god he doesnt want to make you the courts jester.

  • Wow... TI really surprised me. He didn't bullshit those kids at all. He let them know that real shit. "ain't nobody gonna want to come back home with you to your mommas house." LMAO!!! So true tho.... Glad he's finally out.

  • @copiagueeagle Yeah, well that's the reason they wanted him. He can actually speak to them, not just give them some crap.

  • its not rap, its hip hop ;)

  • Actually i got respect for T.I

  • meek mills flamerz 4 coming soon.. bo starks is dissing ti an meek mills, who is this dude

  • yea ti is the best he does speak the truth  i jus dont no y he got all those wepons

  • to all those people bitching about how he got off easy as a celebrity should watch his larry king interview, t.i. said it best there, yes it may seem like he got a light sentence but he also got house arrest before the jail time and 5 years probation after, and the legals system felt like he would have a more positive effect on society if he continued to speak to kids like he has instead of being in jail

  • tom myers is a fuckin pussy whiteguy. someone should kick his fuckin ass. his daughters are hoes anyways.

  • he aint lying bout that if you teenagers stay partying and skipping school trust it will come back and haunt you, and you will realize in the real world, you wont succeed with some kind of education

  • @rememberthisize wont succeed without some kind of education. Whatever you teenagers do seek knowledge it will get you everything you want in life.

  • Man eminem is trash as fuck dat nigga be gettin his lyrics from 50 juss like every other G-unit nigga haha

  • @gnote7414 wow!

    are you serious he be gettin his lyrics from 50?

    did he know 50 when he came out with his first album Infinite

    do your research

    type in Eminem Infinite you know that was in 1996 he didnt know 50 there

    so shut the fuck up you don't know shit about hip hop if you think em suck

  • @LiamBTV

    he sucked then aha

    and he still does

  • @gnote7414 wow you seriously think em' sucks your fucking retarded

  • @LiamBTV how bout u just get off em's nuts?

  • @gnote7414 how about you get of 50's and G-Unit's nuts?

  • @LiamBTV or how bout u learn some good comebacks u retarded fuck

  • T.i.p. a strong dude .. Pac would have done the same thing and did.

  • Now that I think about it this makes so much sense wtf am i celebrating :S

  • speaking the truth thats is a real hip hop artist

  • How am I a Hater? Because I'm rapping about the truth....T.I. was found guilty for doing a criminal act. But there are people out there that thinks that he should be free..

    If he was putting the AK in your face would you be telling me to fuck off?

    He don't know you are care about you , so basically you are just a fan...not using your brain.....Goodluck in the world fools....

  • @CautionMusicEnt SO LAME!!!

  • i think tip is dope..but reading all these comments some of you act like he's the first rapper to do anything good for society. a lot of you need a hip hop education..and stop listening to studio gangstas..

  • if u think t.i is a snitch ur wrong cuz he paid 3 mill to lower his sentence and the reason he bought those guns listen to the song ready for watever u will get it

  • u this fellas this is a real rapper and someone who is really the guy who is gonna bring hip hop back and eminem is gonna bring it back to

  • @zzzzzkillaxxxxx eminem is going to the new style

  • How do you guys know if this is simply a publicity stunt or if he cares. The video says he is order to do this by the courts. Its not like he is doing this voluntary.

  • If you listen to some of his music (even his older music) he spits about how much he helpd the hood and how people should try to help young black males instead of critcizn them, or us for tht matter...dude genuine wit his shit

  • It ain't good how celebs get short ass jail time for a crime that a normal person would get 30 years for, and he still talks about killin people in his music but then he tellin da kids to act all good, also he doesn't finish his words....

  • you know why? cause celebs spend loads of cash. their amazing for the economy

  • @qazzzie because there's a thick ass line between entertainment and real life. Music is music it shouldn't have the hugest affect on anyone's life. Besides, for all those who think he doesn't want kids to take the right route in life he BEEN putting positivity in his songs before all this even happened. Everyone wanna find a loophole instead of accepting the fact a celebrity just might care about the community. Grow up.

  • T.I. is freakin amazin! His music is raw & his style is tight! I luv ya tip!!! xD

  • Ti change so much after the death of his best friend but is all for the good

  • I love that quote THE PARTIES GET BETTER WHEN YOU GET RICHER.

  • He had machine guns, silent pistols and drugs............all of that shit = 35 - life yrs and he's getting an year

  • is there a full length movie of this?

  • Good for tip. He's actually a rapper making a difference.

  • At 0:56 her throws up the pitchforks.Gds was started in the chi ,this nigga dont know nothing about the gds.I used to be one!Free larry hoover,lol.

  • I like t i

  • pure wisdom

  • Hold On, Back In The Day, He Was A Hardcore Artist, Then Gus Last Year, He Snitch But Everybody Says He A Change Man, Im Confuse Is He A Change Man Og Still A G On The Inside, Im Not Hatin Or Anythang, Im Gus Sayin Wat Is He Tryin To Do. Sooo Um Any Request

  • @lujankody he neva snitched he paid $3 mill to lower is sentence u idiot

  • Oh Watever, & 'U Idiot' Well FUK U, BITCH
