T.I. Released from Prison Today, Lawyer Confirms

XXLMag.com has learned that T.I. was released from prison this morning (December 22) and will be admitted into a halfway house in his hometown of Atlanta, later today.
XXL spoke with Tip’s lead defense attorney in his federal gun case, Steve Sadow, who confirmed the news. “He was released this morning from his place of incarceration in Arkansas,” Sadow said. “As I understand it, he’s on his way back to the Atlanta area. He has to report to a halfway house in Atlanta sometime this evening. And he will then spend somewhere between the next two or three months in a halfway house, ending his Bureau of Prison sentence.“
According to Sadow, T.I. will have a lot more freedom under his new living conditions. “A halfway house is more along the lines of a residential dormitory,” he explained of the rap star’s new stipulations. “You live within this house that is broken into areas for living, and you are permitted to leave during the day for certain reasons of which would be employment, medical reasons, things of that nature, and you return to the halfway house in the evening. So it’s a restriction on your liberty but it’s a way for you to reenter into society and not be confined within a jail type institution 24-hours a day.”
T.I. has been serving time in Arkansas’ Forrest City Prison since May 26, for possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as firearms from a convicted felon. He is expected to be finished with his federal sentence in March of 2010.

Games been fine without him? Eminem stan or something? Or maybe you think young money album was a classic?
The game right now is probably the weakest its ever been. Eminem..aint been killing nobody since forever. You say he killed wayne in drop the world you need ur ears cleaned.
Hip hop needs someone who is hungry again. Like wayne was in 07. Look about now all i see is people falling off. Rebirth is trash eminem must have spent months writing his forever verse. His verse on drop the world was average and someone who really dont seem to care anymore had better lyrics. Hip hop is dead. All there is now is haters and a bunch of stans.

Gotta agree with Asdfghjkl….you’re showing your hater colors. You right about hip hop bein down right now, I wont say dead cuz there are artist still makin good music and have great lyrics, its just on life support. And yeah Eminem did kill Wayne on Drop The World…everyone gives Wayne too much credit for every song he does when he doesnt really kill every song, Drop the World is not one of his best

Ok if you listen to the lyrics you will see that lil wayne is on point the whole time. Normally he says like three words of relevance then talks about women. This time shady says about four relevant lines then talks about nothing at all. Lil wayne does get to much credit…shady gets so much more. He slaughtered everyone on forever but drop the world he didnt kill wayne you can argue he shaded it but thats about it. For example lil wayne and kanye use autotune and even if they have good lyrics it was trash cuz they used autotune. You see? Eminem used that accent which in my opinion was worse than autotune but nobody says about it. See? Thats what you call hate little boy. I knew some stan would respond with eminem is amazing and kill lil wayne on drop the world. Put it like this the eminem of renegade isnt coming back. Maybe if i rap fast and say a bunch of shit about how amazing i am il be considered the best like lil wayne or eminem? Only thing i hate on is new hip pop and fanboys like you.

oh and another thing, eminem’s whole verse was relevant in drop the world. he stated his pain and then how he was gonna fuck everyone up. is that not what “droppin the world” is about? get outta here man.

i myself think that wayne was better den eminem i liked how he flowed with the verses ane eminems was a regular verse from eminem dat would switch from topic to topic. Stop givin him too much credit like wayne in 08 and btw wayne was tryin more to make a rock album by singing den a rap verses which eminem did for him in the track.Cnt wait for some new ti music on another note
