And he's making money doing a legitimate profession. He owns his own record label. Who cares about his past?
Heres the thing: no matter how many hours of community service T.I. does, it will never make up for the crap he puts into the minds of his listeners.
And I could say the same thing about rock and country music. Where was this author at when Marilyn Manson was spewing neo-Satanic crap and promoting a goth culture among suburban white teens?
Ahh, so since the author doesn't condemn EVERY possible bad thing in the music world he shouldn't talk about this subject?
Look, if neo-Satanic goth "culture" were as pervasive as is Hip-Hop/Rap then I could understand your concern.
