Why did they put "Touchdown" overseas? That song could've been big with Eminem on it.

Oct 13, 11:05 PM EDT Rapper T.I. Arrested Before Awards Show
ATLANTA (AP) -- Grammy-winning rapper T.I. was arrested Saturday - just hours before he was to perform at the BET Hip-Hop Awards - in a parking lot where federal officials said he planned to pick up machine guns and silencers his bodyguard bought for him.
T.I., born Clifford Harris, is charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as possession of firearms by a convicted felon. Harris was in federal custody, said U.S. attorney's office spokesman Patrick Crosby, who would not disclose his location.
Sydney Margetson, a spokesman for T.I.'s label, Atlantic Records, declined to comment Saturday evening.
The arrest resulted from an investigation that began this month. A federal firearms dealer told the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that a man was inquiring about buying a machine gun without registering the weapon as required, according to a criminal complaint filed Saturday in U.S. District Court in Atlanta.
After trying to buy several machine guns from an undercover ATF agent, the unnamed person began cooperating with the government and said he was buying the machine guns and silencers for Harris, the complaint said. The bodyguard said that he had bought about nine firearms for Harris, and that the rapper had given him cash to buy guns four times, the complaint said.
Harris brokered the deals through the bodyguard because the rapper is a convicted felon, the complaint alleged. It is against federal law for a convicted felon to have another person get firearms on their behalf.
The 27-year-old rapper arranged to meet with the bodyguard Saturday to exchange cash for weapons, the complaint said. After his arrest in the shopping center parking lot not far from the awards show, agents found three firearms in the vehicle he was driving, including a loaded firearm between the driver's seat and center console, according to the complaint.
As the awards were being taped in Atlanta on Saturday night, federal authorities were still searching T.I.'s home in East Point, about 15 miles southwest of the city.
Agents found six guns in a closet, including three allegedly bought by the bodyguard for the rapper last month, according to the complaint. Five were loaded, agents said.
T.I. had been expected to perform at the BET show, which is to be broadcast Wednesday, and was nominated in nine categories. Instead, the rapper was noticeably absent from red carpet festivities before the show began at 6 p.m.
The co-chief executive of Grand Hustle Records won three awards at last year's inaugural BET Hip-Hop Awards and received nine nominations this year, including CD of the Year, Lyricist of the Year and MVP of the Year. His sixth album, "T.I. vs. T.I.P.," was released July 3 and debuted at No. 1.
T.I. won two Grammys in 2006, including best rap/sung collaboration for "My Love" with Justin Timberlake. He also hit the big screen in "ATL" that year, and he has a role opposite Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe in "American Gangster," set for release Nov. 2.
T.I. grew up in Atlanta and was selling crack by the time he was a teenager. In 2004, warrants were issued for his arrest on probation violations for a drug conviction, and he was sentenced to three years behind bars. It wasn't clear Saturday how much of the sentence he actually served.

Oct 19, 12:34 PM EDT T.I. Asks for Bond While He Awaits Trial
ATLANTA (AP) -- T.I.'s lawyers asked a federal judge Friday to release the rapper on $2.2 million bond and allow him to have monitored home confinement while he awaits trial on weapons charges.
Defense attorney Ed Garland proposed putting a person in T.I.'s home 24 hours a day to monitor activities there.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, would also have to submit to electronic monitoring. Only those on a preapproved list of visitors would be able to enter the home. Harris would surrender his passport and his right to drive, and would submit to random searches of the home and random drug screening.
Several record company executives, including some from Atlantic Records, were seated in the courtroom. Officials said they were prepared to offer signature bond on Harris' behalf in excess of $1 million.
Prosecutors countered that because of Harris' criminal history and because he was arrested while allegedly trying to buy machine guns, he poses a flight risk and danger to the community.
Harris was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday on weapons charges, including possession of machine guns.
His indictment followed his arrest last Saturday for allegedly possessing unregistered machine guns and silencers and of being a convicted felon in possession of firearms.
Harris, 27, faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count.

Oct 26, 11:15 AM EDT Gun Charges Put T.I.'s Future in Limbo
ATLANTA (AP) -- With all the questions swirling around Clifford "T.I." Harris Jr. since his arrest on federal weapons charges, perhaps the most pointed came from the judge who is hearing the superstar rapper's case.
"Mr. Harris is an exceptionally gifted and talented musician. He is exceptionally generous and has reached out to the community," U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman said during a bail hearing last week, with the defendant sitting before him in a navy pinstriped suit. "Somebody who has so many gifts to do good and do well ... risks it all by showing up at a gun deal."
That dichotomy has been on the minds of many in Harris's Atlanta hometown and beyond: How could a man at the top of his career risk it all in such a public, foolish act - just blocks from a stage that would only increase his fame? Or does this drug dealer made good, who recently watched his best friend die after a highway gun battle, actually need illegal machine guns for protection?
At 27, Harris is years and seemingly a world away from the criminal life, having grown into his self-proclaimed title of "King of the South." But authorities say that on Oct. 13, about an hour before a scheduled performance at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, Harris showed up to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers. He already had three guns in his car - one of them loaded - when he was arrested, authorities say.
Harris is charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as possession of firearms by a convicted felon. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.
Baverman was scheduled to decide Friday whether Harris could be released on bond.
To persuade the judge, his lawyers have proposed a $2.2 million bond, and offered to augment the GPS electronic monitoring with a live-in monitor while Harris awaits trial.

Nov 13, 3:14 AM EST Rapper T.I. Says He Will Be Exonerated
ATLANTA (AP) -- Rapper T.I. expressed confidence he would not be convicted of federal weapons charges, speaking publicly for the first time since his arrest in a video posted on a hip-hop Web site.
In the short video posted on Streetcred.com, T.I., who's real name is Clifford Harris Jr., said people should not believe everything reported in the news.
"I look forward to being exonerated on all charges," Harris said in the video. "And I say that with the utmost sincerity."
Harris thanked his fans and lawyers. He also thanked the judge in his case for allowing him to be on house arrest.
Harris also said in the video that he is using his free time to read, write and work on a new album.
Harris was arrested Oct. 13 in a midtown Atlanta parking lot just blocks from the BET Hip-Hop Awards, which he was to headline later that night. Federal authorities say the 27-year-old rapper tried to buy machine guns and silencers. He was released on bond Oct. 26.

Nov 20, 7:14 PM EST T.I. Challenges Evidence in Weapons Case
ATLANTA (AP) -- T.I. says evidence collected against him and statements he made to authorities in a federal weapons case were illegally obtained.
Attorneys for the 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris, filed motions Monday in U.S. District Court seeking to suppress evidence seized from his vehicle and statements he made on the day of his Oct. 13 arrest.
The attorneys allege the vehicle was searched without a warrant, consent or probable cause. They also allege that Harris' detention might not have been proper, statements he made to authorities may not have been voluntary, and agents may have failed to honor his rights.
The motions didn't elaborate on the basis for the legal challenges, but said more details would be filed later.
There was no immediate ruling by a judge. A spokesman for federal prosecutors, Patrick Crosby, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that his office would respond in court.
Authorities say Harris tried to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers in midtown Atlanta about an hour before a scheduled performance at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. They say he already had three guns in his car, including one that was loaded.
Harris faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each weapons charge.
He is free on bond, but is under house arrest. A pretrial conference was scheduled Wednesday.
The rapper had asked to host a Thanksgiving Day gathering at the home where he's staying, but the plan was scrapped after the government opposed it. His bond conditions require court approval of visitors.
A charity event he is sponsoring to give turkey dinners to the needy will go on Thursday, but Harris won't be there, according to one of his record labels.

This CD isn't matching the sales of his previous CD's. I may be wrong, though. Its right where his previous 3 albums have stalled at. Around the 1.15-1.25 million mark like Trap Muzik, Urban Legend and King. He could've been on the rise to 2 million if his current situation would'nt have stalled his momentum.

Rapper T.I. and His Girlfriend Expecting a BabyFRIDAY JANUARY 04, 2008 07:00 PM EST Rapper T.I. (real name Clifford Harris) and his on again, off again girlfriend Tameka "Tiny" Cottle of the '90s R&B group Xscape, are expecting another child together, the musician's rep confirms. Cottle, 32, recently posted the news that the couple are expecting a baby boy on her personal Myspace page, which has garnered many congratulatory comments from friends and fans. This will be the fifth child for T.I., 27, and his second with Cottle. The couple are already parents to son King Harris, 3. News of the pregnancy comes in the middle of T.I.'s house arrest sentence in Georgia for illegal weapons charges. The rapper was arrested last October for allegedly trying to buy machine guns and silencers. He was released on a $3 million bond until the outcome of his trial, which is still pending, but must be under home confinement. – Jessica Herdon www.people.com/people/article/0,,20169577,00.html
