News T.I. and humility: Still not on speaking terms
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Nov 13, 2007 at 5:09 PM
You'd think federal weapons charges that could land him in prison for 10 years might have taught rapper Clifford "T.I." Harris the value of humility.
Ha!
I realize cockiness is to hip-hop personas what sunlight is to photosynthesis, but the video Harris posted yesterday on the social networking site StreetCred.com was especially obnoxious.
The video begins with Harris, wearing a bathrobe and a baseball cap, strutting to a couch in a dimly lit living room. After sitting down, Harris asserts his innocence and thanks a long list of people, including his lawyers, recording industry colleagues, and even the judge who's letting him stay at his house while he awaits trial.
He then takes house arrest fabulousness to a new level, referring to himself as "the King" and pulling out a cigar.
These are the actions of a man who watches Scarface repeatedly, never quite realizing it's a campy work of fiction.

Well if he is as innocent as he claims he is, then i guess he should have nothing to worry about , which might explain the subtle "cockiness" he displayed, after all he stated in the video that he pleaded NOT GUILTY , so it's obvious he knows something that we aren't aware of. But what i do know is that the man deserves a fair trial, even though i'm not a fan of his music, i am a strong believer in the rights of people recieving justice, and i hope that this trial unlike most celebrity indictments doesn't get tried in the court of public opinion , before this man is even able to prove his case.
