T.I. Testifies at Best Friends Murder Trial!

1st …….

You can tell he really didn’t want to talk about it ……

WOW this is DEEP!!!

OH AN 2ND

I’m glad he testified. Ethical rights go before ethical street codes.

And to be honest…as I fix the # 4 comment. All street codes not ETHICAL.

I am GLAD once again that T.I. testified.

man thats crazy 4real….how do u tell yo boy mama he dead….thats some life changing shit right there…i dont care how G u claim to be…i give TI big ups for this real talk certified

I dont think he is a snitch but he is walking a fine line. Now if his testifying has anything to do with him only getting a year for the guns charge……not good.

This I will say also cause most want say it. 50 cent is 3 for 3. He was right about Rocsi. He was right about Buck and Game. He was right about T.I. He never called T.I. a snitch technically but he did say the situation was baffling and that his lawyers said they couldnt have gotten him a year. Call 50 a hater all you want but seeing T.I. on that witness stand cant help the street talk. If you claim to live by the street code, it is never good to be on video answering questions about street shyt.

Again….I applaud him for having the courage to testify. I just hope his gun bust had nothing to do with convincing him to do so. Hope the intelligent people see my conflict with this one.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO u are so right… but leave my man the GAME out of it..lol… and TI jus do me a favor and PLZ DO SNITCh.. we dont like tho’s… and FUCC 50

My thing is why they asked the dumbest questions and stuff. They showed him a picture of the dude dead when they know they were good friends. What was that supposed to prove. Besides that, sorry for what happen and I hope T.I. stop blaming himself for this. God already knew who he wanted and it wasn’t you.

@REDDOG shouldn’t be any conflict with his decision to testify. Firstly T.I has 2 options, handle it himself, or identify the trigger man. Street-codes don’t mean shiit, it’s over-rated. When caught very few people stick to those codes anyway. This is far from snitchin, this is logical.

Yea Reddog I feel what ur sayin but 50 is hypocrite if he’s cant call out TI when 50 snitch on wax remember “Ghetto Quarian, and “Many Man”, and lets not 4get the proven documents that has 50’s signature to have a restraining order on Murder Inc. know I feel u if he only doing this 2 get 1yr then I dont think thats right but by looking at the video and hearing TI speak and rap on this matter I truly feel he did this because it was the right thing 2do!!!!!

a fly is gonna fly in that judges mouth!

All2HOOD…That was the perfect subpost you posted to my bro Reddog.

You gets much respect for that.

If this was your best friend would any of you did the same thing? I would in a heart beat. This aint snitchin.

I DONT CONSIDER THAT SNITCHIN WHAT T.I. DID. **** A STREET CODE THAT SHE DONT HOLD NO WEIGHT EXPECIALLY WHEN IT’S YOUR FAMILY MEMBER OR BEST FRIEND THAT END’S UP GETING MURDERED. I WOULD TESTIFY TOO IN A HEART BEAT. T.I. HAS ALOT OF HEART TO DO THAT. I SALLUTE HIM TWICE FOR HIS BRAVERY. CAUSE HE MAY BE PUTTING HIS LIFE AND HIS FAMILY LIFE IN DANGER. BUT HE STANDING UP TO WHAT IS RIGHT AND HIS LOVE FOR HIS FRIEND AND HIS FRIEND’S FAMILY.

I agree witcha HANMAHAYES

ALL2Hood - Street codes mean the world to real street niggas. Call em crazy or whatever but they do. That snitching shyt dont apply to me, but if I was a head bussa or talked about the streets and proclaimed to be a street nigga….. it would behove me not to be on stand testifying to shyt. Like I said…..Much props to T.I. for doing it, hope he did it for the right reasons. Now..you and I may not live by street codes but some niggas do. The conflict isnt with his decision to testify but more so what his motive was to do it. In other words, if there was no gun charge would he have been trying to handle this himself and not testify? When did he get the gun charge? Was he tooling up to handle some shyt? That is the conflict I have with it. If they used the gun bust to convince him to take the stand. Not good.

THEFUTRE32 - There is no such thang as snitching on wax! You snitch to the cops to put someone in jail. Music does not do that. If that was the case Rick Ross would be snitching on himself and Jeezy and they would both be serving time. Oh and getting a restraining order may not be ganster but is not snitching. Matter of fact it is a move done so that if something happens between the two parties, it looks bad for the one who wasnt suppose to be around the other. Lawyers usually advise and handle this type paperwork…..the person just signs.

its good he kept his composure…..
why they kept asking so many dumbass cold as **** question?
how you gonna take a picture of you dead friends face WITH THE DAMN EXIT WOUND and shove it in his face like that.
that was ****ed up
**** what the street codes are,you got to look out for your star player,
quit worryin bout what other niggas is gonna do
just do you
no offense to not snitchin though,if thats your shit I respect that…..just saying

**** this lame azz street “Not Snitching” shit! At my age I have seen so many people break that code and free to this day while the more innocent parties are still locked up.

Now T.I. lost his best friend. His best friends child lost a father. His best friends mother lost a son. To all the people on this post. If you didn’t do the same as T.I. I would consider you a coward.

Very well put He-Man…..people get mad when I say that. Maybe all the regular folks will eventually stop with claiming this street code and promoting the stop snitching propaganda. That is for street niggas. Those same street niggas expect most white people to tell the police, so in a sense…..they only manipulating their own people and communities.

The reason they ask those questions are to establish a case. They ask what seem like the simpliest and dumbest of questions to show credibility of the witness. Putting the pic of his friend in front of him and asking him to indentify it and tell the story of how he had to tell his friends mom and child, shows that he is human. It makes the jury see him as a man that lost a friend. It paints him as an individual that is struggling with the death of a friend just like most people would. It fights against the thought or pic of T.I. as some street thug. Juries have to be handle with care.

Ok to everybody on this page. I want to get one thing clear. The gun bust was a Federal case. This here is a State case therefore the feds could careless if he testified in this case. I’m not saying he didn’t make some kind of deal to get a year, (because frankly if you don’t think he made some kind of deal to get off your delusional.) What I am saying is him testifying didn’t help him on the gun charges as far as time goes but I bet it did help him prove the fact that his life was in danger and he need to protect himself with his friends life being taken in the manner it was.

And for those that don’t think he made a deal on the gun charges I will say this. T.I was a felon. A felon caught with a firearm is an automatic 7 year bid. This man was trying to get fully automatics which also carry a mandatory sentence. So for him to get only a year is crazy. On top of that he doesn’t have to start his time for a year. Which really means he is not going to end up serving any time at all. Watch what is say.

I said all that to say this. These cat make music and either you like it or you don’t. Me personally I love his music because it’s entertaining. I don’t listen to it because I’m believing what this dude is saying is for real. That’s the problem, to many people look at rappers as real when only a small few of them have ever really lived the life they portray on wax.

F the street codes and the streets, people need to grow the f on up… Real talk, this snitching rule has more changes to it than Rhianna’s wardrobe.

You Right DROOPYS4…. TIP Is supposed to be doing major major time for
that. But this is America and money talks. That’s just the way of our system.
Plus on top of that. His bodyguard set T.I. up. T.I. is not the one they are
really trying to get. He is merely a pawn in the game, that will eventually
lead to the king.
Now on this snitching shhh….There is no such thing. This is 2008, and
nowadays niggaz don’t have any respect, alliance, or loyalty. Stop snitching
came from an era where you repected your folk in your clique. Your hood
and you didn’t step foot into marked territory. But now..everybody is
out for themselves. It’s no longer “Let’s get that cash”, it’s “Let me get that
cash”. I’m not a thug..but I have plenty of them in my family. Including my
father. lol These lame wanna be thugs are just straight punks with guns.
That being said.. there is no code. Especially not here in AtL. Everybody is
just running rampid. So what do you do? Do you wanna answer to the streets
or the government? Your homeboys don’t have your back anyway. Are they
gonna take care of your kids and your lady? Hell naw. They gonna try and
take your stash and your girl.

*sighs* wondering why somebody stuck on 50’s nuts all the damn time? ANYWAY I hope T.I. watches his back after this and I would testify my ass off too.

If somebody testified their azz off, they wouldnt have a face. The true face of an azz clown. G..G..G…Gee U Ugly! 50 cent comments or lyrics came into question about this issue. That is what made many question the one year sentence. 50 was labeled a hater yet again. Now that more has come to light…..seems he really wasnt hating……just posing some valid questions. Those people that judged 50 aint gone bring it back up. LOL!

Why somebody looking like they stole a fat down syndrome persons azz and using it as their face? LMAO!
