It's Always Better as a Reality Show

Filed under: TV News > Music Minute

ti.jpg

TV producers can make a show about anything!

According to new reports, T.I. is turning his legal drama into an eight-episode MTV reality show.

Cameras will follow the rapper through many of his 1,000 hours of community service leading up to his yearlong prison sentence.

Shooting starts this summer.

T.I. begins serving his sentence - on gun charges - in early 2009, and MTV will air the series shortly after that.

Hey, he needs money to pay off his legal bills.

Work is work!

    Ha good. He should have gotten longer than a year and why would I want to watch a show about a thug doing community service…I can't think of anything more boring or inappropriate. Entertainment world loves to glorify criminal activity.

    This is the problem with society. Why would you give a CRIMINAL a reality series??? Do you really think the show will be replete with moral lessons and remorse? Doubtful.

    MTV is worthless anymore.

    I never thought I would say this but…MTV needs to be taken off the air…or re-vamped so that DUMB SHIT like this doesn't get aired. I HATE all of the reality shows that they're trying to pimp.

    He should not be making a dime from anything to do with that community service.
    That violates his parole. I hope he can pay for some more legal fees because he is going to get them in triplicate.

    Is it true that Americans can buy guns in Walmart? Why is it so easy to get a gun when the gun crimes are so often? Just wondering.

  23. truthh says – reply to this


    23

    BOYCOTT MTV- they just PAID into this violence that the rappers bring to the table. This is a shame- he was caught buying three silencers. Silencers are used for only one reason: to kill silently. MTV should be ashamed. Now he's getting paid for his violence and drug abuse. It's bad enough he's going to laker games and TV shows. This piece of crap needs to be in jail for a long time. He had drugs and weapons plus the many other violations over the years. Buy guns get a reality show- BOYCOTT MTV

    oh, please. and what message is "The Hills" sending to kids? that it's ok for young girls to grow up and be materialistic, self-centered cunts? at least TI's show will show some of these knuckleheads running the streets that being a so-called "thug" has consequences, even for celebrities.

    As exploitative as it is maybe it will serve as a lesson to the brainless morons that actually watch MTV. Or maybe they'll aspire to go to prison, either way it serves a more valuable purpose than Tila Tequila.

    How messed up is that? My bad I forgot about that show on BET about Lil Kim called "Count Down to Lock Down",I watched it once.Hated it.Thanks for the warning. I will be sure not to watch. TI is 100%punk azz.

    Re: atl –

    Haha i was gonna mention that load of shit justification in my first post. Likely, i'll give you computer if the 8 episodes show anymore than 2 hours of consecutive community service stuff. Most likely we will watch TI laugh with his "homies" go to the studio, and lounge around his house.
    In the final episode he will feed as a line like,

    "Yo i jusss want da youfs to learn from ma examples ya know?"

    When he's out of jail, he'll release new music with many "witty" metaphorical references to trying to carry a shit load of guns onto a plane.

  42. Poetic says – reply to this

    Good, I'll watch it. I love T.I.. And no, he's not perfect, yes, he's made mistakes, but I met him 2 years ago when he came through my city, and he's extremely polite and sweet. Atleast he's doing something positive. How many other celebrities do you know actually tried to make something right out of a wrong they had committed. But, since he's black and a rap artist, he gets no credit. Oh well, I still love him!!!
