T.I. talks man down from roof

2010-10-14 by Satellite | 76 Comments
Atlanta-based rapper and part-time convict Clifford "T.I." Harris aided police in preventing a 25-year-old man from jumping off a 22-story hotel near his home.

After being allowed by authorities to talk to the would-be suicide victim, Harris urged the man that he can "make it through anything" and that "life's not that bad." Shortly thereafter, the man came down and met with Harris for several minutes. He was transferred to a hospital for psychological evaluation and later released without being charged for a crime.

According to an Atlanta police spokesman, Harris, who is slated to appear before a federal judge this week for charges stemming from possessing methamphetamines, "just happened to be in the right place at the right time."

The hotel is next to a rap station. He was on his way there anyway and the guy came down before T.I. got there and then he spoke with him. He is not a hero and I hope they put him away for violation.





Oh yeah....I forgot to add that he is talentless and a poor excuse for a human being. (I have personal experience.)

If I was about to commit suicide, and the only person that tried to talk me out of it was T.I., you wouldn't have read this comment because I'd be dead.

Seriously. It's nice what he did and all, but if a guy who made an assload of money and got famous by exploiting and perpetuating a social scene that I absolutely abhor was the only person who tried to talk me out of suicide...I don't even know.

Agentzero if you honestly think im gonna believe your claim that you've supported with zero evidence after following it with a statement that admits your complete bias against him... lol.

Okay, midnight, fit like, four or five chicks
in the drop '66 bumpin "Southernplayalistic"
as we ridin through the city lights, Monday Magic City night
Pass these around, momentarily they feelin like
gettin right, good girls, got 'em gettin busy like
big dykes, eatin so much pussy they forget pipe
All got boyfriends, tell me they don't hit it right
They come see me so they can come be freaks
in the back seat, everything's fast like a track meet
All I can see is titties, pussy lips and ass cheeks
Actually, no exaggeration, no imaginin
Real talk, my reality is yo' fantasy
Keisha, Kim, Tamika, Shay, Alicia and Gloria
Chasin this broad tryin to find euphoria
Name notorious, dick game glorious
Find me shawty when ya boyfriend borin ya

@Winsomniac-I would have tried to land on top of him so that my death was not in vain.

@TMobotron-The talentless part might be loosely debatable, but the rest is factual. The police did not hand T.I. a bullhorn and say "Here you go. Give it a shot. What can it hurt?". Its not a f@#^ing Will Ferrell/Mark Wahlberg movie.

he probably just sang "baby you can go wherever you like" in the megaphone. the guy probably recognized the song, but couldn't recognize the singer. the reverse psychology and curiosity got to him so he aborted.

he then met him and he was like "hey, i'm T.I dawg!"

and he was like "wut"

He'd probably let you jump, then go back home and make a concept album out of that event :p
