Atlanta rapper T.I. reported to federal prison in Arkansas today to start serving his 366 day sentence for trying to buy guns and silencers from undercover agents.

I know there are a lot of skeptics about T.I. and his new found attempt to be a positive role model. Let’s face it, there’s nothing positive about what he’s convicted of doing. But I do like that he’s trying to turn his negative experience into an example of “what not to do” for all the young kids that idolize him. There’s definitely something gained by owning up and taking your consequence like a man. We’ll be curious to see how his lifestyle is once he’s back out as a free man.
