“Mistakes build character, and character takes you places money cain’t. Jail, for example.”
I will tell you this: if I was sentenced to a year in jail, none of the things that I did in the weeks leading up to my incarceration would involve shooting a video where I pretended like I was in jail. I would probably go out to some fancy dinners, and spend a lot of time with loved ones, but at no point would I get in the car and head to jail for a few hours to make believe that I was in jail. That shit might have seemed really cute to me before I was arrested (for buying all those guns with silencers, sorry!) and put through a months-long, heavily mediatized trial, but it would not seem cute to me now that I was facing 12 months cut off from my family and friends, and perhaps ending my career despite the cultural glorification of imprisonment in the hip hop community (of which I am a part in this hypothetical situation, neat!).
But of course, my theoretical desire to avoid spending any more time in jail than I had to in the theoretical event of being forced to go to jail for crime is just one of the differences between T.I. and myself. Other differences include: the need for lots of guns with silencers or the lack thereof, a working relationship with Mary J. Blige.

When I realized my first instinct was to actually draw a scale of “Jailitude” with T.I. and Paris Hilton being the ends of the spectrum, because there WAS a spectrum, I decided it’s time to go to Africa and work with orphans. Love you guys!
“Other differences include: the need for lots of guns with silencers or the lack thereof, a working relationship with Mary J. Blige.”
Maybe one of those things necessitates the other.
It’s kind of like shoving a Handycam up your butt the night before a colonoscopy.
Don’t Forget Me.
Remember Me.
Not, “Don’t forget to remember me.”
Oh, I nearly forgot to remember!
Go to jail.
My brain just ate itself.
Wow, Gabe. Mary J. Blige still won’t return your calls? What’s the 411?
Is it just me is videogum in a different font now?
It’s just you.
Yes, T.I.’s relationship with Mary J. Blige may be a working relationship, but as the gossip blogs have made clear again and again your relationship with her is intensely physical, Gabriel.
I will never not love T.I.P., with his devilish grin and foghorn leghorn accent. That’s my incarcerated boyfriend!!!
These kind of videos always conveniently exclude the buttrape.
gabe please get a life,You will never be as successful and charming and wealthy and multi talented like T I so stop fussing about.
