'Sons Of Anarchy' Another 'Shield' Star
Monique Ruffin: Moms Change the World: Kenya Stevens
"I had a lot of work done to my teeth. Oral surgery, extractions, six, seven, eight root canals. Between January to February. As soon as I got out, I had a lot of stuff done...Of course for the pain they gave me oxycontin and hydrocodone...And then I'm like, wait―this shit makes me feel good. And it's legal. After the pain went away, I kept taking it. I had like five, six prescriptions. So I had, like 80 pills. Everybody else might have a drink or smoke a blunt, I took a pain pill...and eventually I developed―I guess―the beginning stages of dependence."
-- Grammy Award-winning rapper-actor T.I. reveals his addiction to prescription oxycontin and hydrocodone. (Vibe)

Jay-Z has been named "Greatest Rapper of all Time". T.I. is officially the "DUMBEST RAPPER OF ALL TIMES"! Just do your time and don't say another word..it's weird how he had all this work done prior/after he got out, but he released a new CD, did a movie, talked a bama off the roof of a building, commercials etc, etc. JUST STOP TALKING YOUR MAKING YOURSELF LOOKING EVEN MORE DUMB!

When these kids do these dumb things, I remind myself that they are kids. At their age I was doing dumb things, too. Since I wasn't rich or a celebrity, I didn't get into big trouble. Lighten up on them. Fame doesn't necessarily make you mature.

Wow, TI, the first step in getting better is admitting the fact that you need help. Is that what you are doing? admitting that you need help, so get help follow a few suggestions and keep it moving. You can overcome this if that is what you want. If you want something different you have to do something different short and sweet. No more excuses. If you are not in physical pain you do not need to take the pills, if your pain is emotional there is someone that can help with that as well. You will be in my thoughts and my prayers. I really like you as a person. Be Blessed

How does he sound dumb? And please anyone tell me how does the the word "justified" come up here. Meaning does it make it right, that's the question. There is no right or wrong, how a person deals with their problems, as long as your not harming anyone, because nobody has right over another person. How dare the people on here.

I like homeboy a lot and I am an old bastard. He reminds me of myself when I was younger. A little money and next thing you know you wake up a frigging junkie. I used to blame mine on the 'NAM,but I never had to do long time for it whenever I got busted. I was way past forty before I finally got a grip on myself and the reasons why. Even though I have said bad things about T.I. I will pray for him, because I believe he is sincere,but just don't know which way to go.
