t.i.Atlanta’s #1 rapper T.I. has admitted possessing unregistered machine guns and being a felon in possession of a illegal firearm. The only chance that he has to avoid a lengthy prison sentence is by teaching kids not to make the same mistakes he did.

Last month T.I. plead guilty to weapons charges and will be sentenced after completing 1000 hours of fair community service.

Clifford Harris(aka T.I.), must spend at least 1 000 hours talking to young groups about the wrong side of guns, gangs and drugs before reporting for about a year in prison .
“I’m looking forward to closing this part of the book of my life,” Harris, 27, told reporters after the hearing. “I am aware that I have a long road of redemption to travel.

T.I. pleaded guilty to possession of unregistered machine guns and professional silencers, unlawful possession of machine guns and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.

Harris is one of the most successful rap artists. His sixth album, “T.I. vs. T.I.P.,” was released on the 3th of July 2007, debuting at # 1. He appeared in the 2007 film “American Gangster,” which starred Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe.

T.I. will have to serve a year in prison and three years of supervised home detention plus a total of 1,500 hours of community service and pay the $100,000 fine.
He was arrested Oct. 13, just blocks away and hours before he was to headline the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta.

Harris, who is co-CEO of Grand Hustle Records, grew up in Atlanta. His first taste of success came with his 2003 album, “Trap Muzik.” In 2004, warrants were issued for his arrest on probation violations for a drug conviction, and he was sentenced to three years behind bars
