Young Jeezy giving back..School supplies.

Things like this is the reason why I like him. I know some of you love your 'conscious' rappers to the death and you tout them, but I am sorry. I just don't SEE THEM DOING THINGS LIKE THIS ON THE REG. I have SEEN him do it though. Thanksgiving. Christmas and now school.

Listen to WHAT HE IS SAYING NOW. Since you tear apart the words (the ones you chose to hear in his rhymes anyway.....) so much.



Yeah..yeah..yeah...it is 'for the camera'. I guess next you will tell me he ran the kids down and took the stuff back too huh? lol Ya'll kill me.

For everybody who STILL doesn't get why T.I. was given the chance he was..Stuff like this.

Now let me preface it by saying that he is not the ONLY ONE who gives back to his community. By no means. He is not the only ONE WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD, giving back to his community. Not in his hood, county, state or country. What I am SAYING is that he can give like this twenty times over, NOT HAVE IT FILMED (as he has done), STILL KEEP GIVING and bring back more positive things back to not only HIS COMMUNITY BUT WORLDWIDE. Over and over and over again. I guess if he was only doing this 'after' the sentencing/conviction, there would be some validity to the 'backlash'. He has been doing it the WHOLE TIME. From Nu Finish on back....Giving mortgage free homes AWAY to needing family. Not just turkeys on Thanksgiving Day. Whole houses. Not just Toys for Tots on Christmas Day. So I don't buy the whole 'he is only doing it because of that sentencing' logic.

What I am hoping is that some of you that I know will get even HALFWAY to where he is at staturewise so that some of the things in the past can be overshadowed by what you have done. I truly do. Some of you I am even helping so that it can HAPPEN. Then if (Hopefully it doesn't...) something DOES HAPPEN, you will be able to say what you have done. What you have given back. What you DO BRING TO THE TABLE IN A POSITIVE WAY. Not on some excuse shit either. More like on some 'I may not have always been 'right' but I always cared about XYZ so this is what I have done to support that...' Never know when that kind of good thinking may come back to help YOU.

T.I. visits school and causes an uproar....

"“I thought about asking a guy who snorted cocaine and got arrested for DUI when he was 30 to come and speak to our kids, but President George W. Bush was unavailable..- Principal of the middle school in response to a parent's angry letter.



T.I. visited a middle school to talk to the kids about bullying, staying in school and the like. I know you can't please all of the people all of the time and he DOES HAVE A RECORD. understand that. He also known and sometimes, hearing it from a guy who has been through some things helps. Especially if he is a hometown guy, as was the case with T.I. as this school was in Atlanta.

The quote in the title is the principal's response to the an angry letter he got in regards to T.I.'s record and visit.
