T.I. said his community contributions helped earn him an opportunity to a plea deal.

“What people don’t take into consideration is the reason that I was eligible for certain agreements that they weren’t eligible for was because I made myself a useful member of society. Most muthaf*ckas catch cases and get time. My n*gga, you wasn’t doing sh*t when you was out here, so wasn’t no reason for them to keep you out here. Please understand the G code that I learned from, if you speak out your mouth that a muthaf*cka is telling on somebody and you can’t come with indisputable, irrefutable facts to support that statement, that makes you the sucker,” T.I. said. “You are now in violation of the G code. And there ain’t nobody, nowhere in naan jail sayin’ I was on they paperwork.” (XXL Magazine)

On G-Unit‘s 2008 Terminate On Site album, 50 Cent is assumed to be speaking on T.I.’s felony gun case and plea deal on the track “You So Tough.”

“Nowadays this rap sh*t ain’t adding up/ How n*ggas get caught with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months?/Oo-weee, don’t talk to me/ If you talking to him, you talking to them…/I got the best lawyers that money can buy/ they say at best they woulda got me 10 or maybe 9./I said, how do you explain how the homie breezed?/They said, you keep your mouth shut or you eat the cheese.” (“You So Tough”)

Grand Hustle’s Young Dro recently defended T.I. and said his boss would never snitch.

“That’s like my brother, I’ve known shawty for half my life,” Dro said. “50 [Cent] mean, but Tip ain’t never done nothing like that. As far as snitching though, my partner ain’t nothing nowhere near that bullsh*t and n*ggas know what’s up with our team. Everybody got their little sh*t to say about that but we know for a fact it ain’t nothing [where] we gotta go around like ‘He didn’t do that, hey, you know he didn’t do that,’ it’s evident you know what I’m saying? Shawty locked up in the jail right now — he’s ready to come home. He’s ready to knock down the walls of Hollywood, make sure y’all know the movie Takers is on the way, you gotta know the boy on the way back home, you gotta know as far as all these false accusations — on this side of Grand Hustle, we getting rich. We making the sh*t known, this sh*t goes further…” (Vlad TV)

The rapper’s one-year jail bid stemmed from him being arrested on felony gun possession charges in 2007.

T.I. was sentenced in March 2009 on felony weapons charges arising from a 2007 arrest, when he was apprehended just before a scheduled appearance at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. The Atlanta rapper pleaded guilty in March 2008 and struck a plea deal: a sentence of a year and a day would be contingent upon the star paying a $100,000 fine and completing 1,500 hours of community service; 1,000 hours to be finished before entering prison and 500 after his release. Also, post-prison, T.I. agreed to submit to drug counseling, a curfew, random property searches, DNA testing and a yearlong home confinement, among other conditions of the deal. (MTV)

  1. 50 done sign to MMG, boy it can get no better than this..I wonder what Ross think about this.

  2. 50 done sign to MMG, boy it can get no better than this..I wonder what Ross think about this…Not a good look for dem.

  3. forreal tho, with all the shit gunplay been yapping, I’d have done the same shit if I was 50. A nigga chain speak louder than a loud talkin interview

    • so 5 dudes jumping 1 is a good look when they got his chain?? LOL…where do they make u lames at

    • you actiin like they went lookin for gunplay he’s the one that tried to get crazy with 50 and got fucked up if somebody was tryna get the nigga that made you rich aint you gon fuck that nigga up too? ohh thought so

    • Man, i wish when they was whupping on that n***a, that instead of yayo ad libbing “YEAH N***A” he shoulda be ad libbing “where ur plate, where ur lobster, where ur seabass”

    • Nigga they jumped Gunplay when he wasn’t even looking. You bitch niggas justify anything of your favorite artist. Fuck outta here……aint’ no respect in jumping anyone bitch ass soft ass up northern lames/

    • Look at this cheerleader. Go eat come cats with your hatian ass. Nigga got the same name as his first & last name.

    • They wasnt worried about that nigga he came for the drama its not about being my favorie artist its about who came for the drama and gunplay came and got what he asked for listen to the guy in the fight video he said gunplay tried to hit 50 and run and they caught him and beat his ass you must be just a diehard MMG fan even meek was kickin it with 50 and them before the whole thing gunplay is an ignorant crack head nigga thats just fuckin stupid

  4. damn Gunplay I thought you was a G, now you pulling a G-Dep to escape a G-Unit asswhooping I rather take the L and keep my freedom, you don’t have any clue to how your sentencing will turn out

  5. And niggaz still have the nerves to tell me 50 lost the battle.

    • Lmao at this lame ass nigga. I bet Rozay’s titties taste good in ya mouth boy, 50 also dissed on yo nigga french montana #juheard you dumb fuck

    • At least we buy. All Rick Ross do is shipping. Not even selling. All the sales are thanks to his features.

  6. Its’s about time 50 & them had someone else’s chain insead of people always taking theirs. Buck got his chain taken from him in Chicago and 50 got his chain snactehd in Africa. that 1-2……step up your chain snatching 50 bc you still losing.

  7. this is so fucking childish this is why hiphop is dying because its the new wwe. stop the bullshit and focus on the music this is a waste of time.

    • ya but its just stupid i wasn’t always a big jayz fan but i respect that even though he beefs with ppl he doesnt ever lets it get to a level this stupid. i know in the past he did with un rivera but it seemed that he learned from it and focused on making good music. all the ppl that dont like my comment are probably on the computer constantly waiting for, as the boondocks call it, ” a nigga moment” so they can be entertained. i rather be entertained by music not stupidity. ppl may not agree with me but i can respect there opinion, but im also allowed mine.

    • Come on nigga, how Crackplay gonna pop all that shit he do against G-Unit and his nigga Rozay think he a boss??? Crackplay got what was comin to his ass and 50 wearin the MMG chain make Ross look weak, what fuckin Boss let that shit happen….

    • you act like im defending gunplay i stated that i thought this was stupid on both sides i know your riding 50’s dick hard but dont worry iwasnt talking bout your man i was merely comparing this to the wwe. i dont listen to rick ross or gunplay i just think the situation is stupid.

    • Guranteed if anybody tried this wit Jay they would get they ass beat too maybe by 20 people tho

    • Nigga please, I’ll repeat for you simple ass, MMG niggas think they hood, Ross think he a boss. They got checked like they should have. You ever see a mafia capo get his chain stole and not do a fuckin thing? Ross ain’t a boss, the nigga can’t even rap bout his real life…..lockin niggas up and makin Dunkin Donut runs 5 times a day

    • and im gonna repeat myself you act like im defending the motherfucker. who gives a shit. i can drop an unbiased opinion cuz i aint no dickrider. your breath smell like 50s balls and when is the last time 50s been in the hood without cops guardan him. he was once from the hood but dude is rich now so he aint going back there. damn your ass acts like your on his payroll and that dude dont give two shits and fuck about you. he would shit on you like he does lloyd banks and tony yayo and they re his friends so just imagine how he’ld treat your non significant ass. lol at dudes gettin emotional over thiss wwe bullshit.

  8. 200 niccas beating on one helpless weed /crack addict is not gangster shit , it’s a joke and childish

    • he tried to hit 50 and run and they caught him and fucked him up they didnt go lookin for him to jump him so kut the shit

    • You mean like in Africa.. when G Unit went in the crowd of 50k people and got that shit back right?

    • Getting your chain snatched doesn’t mean anything…what you do right after means everything…you can’t stop someone from hit you…you can whop their ass right after though. 50 jumped into a crown IN AFRICA and got a chain back…a chain that was not even real (no smart artist wears real jewelry at a concert especially in a dangerous place)…that to me shows heart…so really you cant compare Gunplay and 50 in this situation.

    • Don’t let some shit like facts fuck up the argument my nigga, them MMG fags…..I mean niggas is bosses for real (omitting Meek Mill from that cuz I fucks w/ the nigga)

    • You notice Meek don’t even represent his crew. You never hear him yelling MMG. It’s almost like he’s embarrassed being associated to fakeness. Meek’s takin pictures with 50, Young Jack Thriller. You’d never see Banks, Yayo, Mike Knox, Kidd Kidd, Paris or anyone G Unit affiliated takin pictures with Rick Ross.

    • NaW I mean like in NY where they shot him up in front of his house wired his jaw shut and took his Chaim and money

    • Nah.. that was Ja that got stuck for the chain. That’s how the beef started sweetie. As far as 50 getting shot up.. yeah that worked out real well for the shooter.

    • stfu. I live in his hood and NEVER got his chain and money taken fool.
      he was sitting in a car in front of his house when he got shot and
      another car pulled up beside him and drove off after the shooting

    • and ur such an idiot he didnt have his own studio at that time when he fought with JaRule. that was before he became famous, you don’t even know what the fuck ur talkin about, u aint abt this hip-hop life. this story is widely known and ur the only fool who doesn’t even know what happened after they beat this story like a dead horse. smh

    • stfu. I live in his hood and NEVER got his chain and money taken fool.
      he was sitting in a car in front of his house when he got shot and
      another car pulled up beside him and drove off after the shooting

    • IMO Meek made a good move signin w/ Maybach for the exposure. Ross got his shine off of Weezy, Meek usin the same tactic. If Meek Mill album blows, the nigga will buy himself out the contract and potentially sign to Roc or maybe just go independent.

    • they wired his jaw shut and took his chain??? lmaoooo you sound like a fuckin idiot

  9. @TeeDraper:disqus you must be an intern workin at MMG because NOBODY give a fuck about them like you. Your new name is now MMGeez NUTS.

  10. Lol this ain’t no street shit u niggas on here riding 50 when in the video he wasn’t doing shit. On top of that 5 people jumped a crack head and he still got up u get no stripes for that. Why he ain’t do that to the Supreme team niggas? He ain’t try that shit with real niggas. Let’s see 50 hold his own 1on1 wit no police. Real niggas in NY know murder incwon that beef in the streets. Even henchmen wwasn’t playing wit dem g unit niggas he smoke two of 50s cousin (no lie) and burned down yayo mama house. All 50 did was paid for the funerals and beefed up security

    • 50 threw the first punch. cmon you cant hate on 50 for this, Before you say how you know… ask the guy on twitter who recorded it on video. Actually you can hear it in the video when he says 50 was swinging to.

    • how u know what fif did…why would he dry snitch on himself..fact is there is a major difference between studio gangta’s and real…..people just mad cause he a real dude while most of your favorite artist getting pimped by industry…REAL talk…its mad funny how peeps feel extra tuff behind computer but would need diapers if they where face to face……………..

    • Can see you making shit up. Yayo mama house was shut up. Not burned. Besides it wasn’t 50’s cousin.
      Look where Henchmen is now. 50 said it right. “I see a rat rat on a rat”
      Just like Pac said. ” Promise to payback Jimmy henchmen.”

      Keep looking up to the wrong people.

    • NY right here so what the fuck you talkin about? Where’s Murda Inc? Their “Inc” got murdered.. that corp ain’t doin any business. Where’s the dude on Supreme’s team that shot 50? Fuck that’s right he’s dead too. I know Game is the guy that’s gonna finally give G Unit an L right? Damn.. G Unit shot one of Game’s crew when Game came to Hot 97. Hmm.. maybe the BAWSE will come through for you. Just after 50 gives him the MMG chain back.

      Can you imagine that though? How disrespectful is that? Imagine Rick Ross wearing a G Unit chain that he and his crew snatched from a member of G Unit after they beat him down? You can’t imagine that because that shit would never happen. That’s the difference between BOSS and a Bawse.

    • You mean 5-0 police he had with him?? That’s y he ain’t get In trouble bcuz they was off duty police

    • He real but er1 that know him say he fake even yayo was going at him. banks buck bang em smurf the list goes on and on. Even Shayne said he was locked up with niggas doing time because 5-0. Let’s not forget the realest nigga that ran NY knew he was a rat and had him shot up luckily he survived if the police wouldn’t of got involved that boy a be dead he had half of NY on his ass , which is why he ran from NY to Connecticut and hired police guards. FACTS … supreme wired dat boy mouth up

    • There’s nothing factual about any of that shit. Don’t take my word for it.. start with YouTube. See what Bang em Smurf himself had to say about 50- who ran what.

    • your n idiot and a obvious 50 hater bang em smurf even said 50 was about that life in the middle of beefin wit him and yayo wasnt even goin at him and also wha nigga you knw from the hood get rich and stay in the hood?? is jayz still in marcy?? fuckin idiot

    • 50 didnt have police with him he had his g-unit niggas the police actually saved gunplay with pepper spray

    • 50 didnt throw the first punch gunplay tried to hit 50 and run and they caught him and fucked him up

  11. lmao that nigga got ThrowPlays chain damn exposing these maybach fags one by one lol maybach music yeah they took an L to Gunit lol

  12. MMG do alot of talking but they have never backed their talk where 50 has.
    even the name mmg

    mercedes dont make maybachs

  13. LoL @ 50 “casually” wearing this lame nigga’s chain. My dude 50 is a real “Bawse” unlike “Officer Ricky”

  14. Gunplay, word of advise dude… use your legs next time ( RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!! ) LMAO!

  15. This is kinda funny and everything but the fact is 50 is corny and played out and this is his only way to stay relevant nowadays

  16. The real question is why was he or Gunit even at the awards? When was his last hit song or feature?…I’ll wait?

    • Why was he there? Performed in the Chris Lighty tribute, squashed beef with Fat Joe, stomped out MMG’s Gunplay, and pulled Diddy’s card when he got slick. I’d say a pretty good night for G Unit.

    • the song “new day” has moderate radio play. The awards generally support people who are about to come out. Street King Immortal is coming

  17. ppl keep saying they jumped gunplay…it was never one on one..to begin with…gunplay tried to swing…on the boss…and all the employees..acted accordingly….thats all

  18. @ :10 did this nigga roll a gutter ball? LMAO.. That nigga 50 clownin Gunplay on this video tho. MMG stay taking L’s smh.. If Gunplay was so gangsta like he say he is, he wouldn’t have been caught solo without a hammer on him

  19. ” ja rule is not a gangster he sings on tracks ” 50 cent

    ” I seen the lights go out so I start poking niggas” Black child

    “50 tell them how we had you crawling under tables” ja rule

  20. And yea 5-0 may have ended Jan rule rap career but dude is still paid in 08 he had net worth of 90 mill and don’t forget he won 45million dollars. Both 50 career an Ja as far as rap.. I just think ja was more talented as far as lyrics and acting.

    • Ja’s rap career ended because of irv. As soon as def jam dropped murder inc over the federal crime thing nobody else wanted to touch them. Murder inc is the death row of the 2000s. There were plenty of times between 04-09 where he could have dropped and sold fairly reasonably but so many album leaks and other problems let him just fade away. Ja still has succesful album in 04

    • They tried releasing Ja under Suge to give him more street cred after 50 went at him. That still didn’t work.

  21. It’s not like 50 took the chain. Also Gunplay is clearly currently in jail right now. I thought Mike Knox tried to say 50 was being positive…now he just jumped right in the middle. This combined with the French shit and the diddy shit makes 50 look like he was being insincere.

  22. I FUKS WIT 50 AND ROSS…. BUT ROSS AND HIS MAYBACH EMPIRE IS WAY HOTTER THAN G-UNIT RIGHT NOW…. 50 GOT PLENTY OF MONEY AND SOLD LOT OF RECORDS .. BUT ROSS MAKES WAY BETTER MUSIC , AND THEM NIZZAS OVER AT G-UNIT CANNOT DRESS FOR SH!!!T… THEM IS SUM COUNTRY DRESSIN AZZ NIZZAS,,, I WOULDN’T WEAR G-UNIT IF I WAS NAKED

    • You like the ghetto fairy tales huh? “I think I’m Big Meech!” You’re not. Your name is William. An overweight stressed out corrections officer with no money and high cholesterol. Go make music, just do it without being a complete fraud. Leave gangsta rap to gangstas.

    • Can you dress nigga fuck you worrying bout their outfit for bitch….them nigg you think can dress have stylist

  23. 50 keeps himself relevant in the rap game by beefin’ with whomever is hot at that time…since day one that’s what he’s done. He needs to just stick to acting and leave all this rap shit to the rappers cause last time I cked he ain’t put out a song worth a damn in yrs. You got ur money man leave all that petty shit alone. If u wanna do something hire lame azz Yayo a ghost writer. Lol
