MTV is developing an unscripted series with the self-proclaimed “King of the South.” T.I has teamed up with Music Television to present an eight-epsiode reality series chronicling the rapper’s community service tour and other life-changing events as he prepares to begin serving a one-year prison sentence on weapons charges next spring. MTV will air the show some time after the Atlanta-based rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris, enters jail in early 2009.

“We began the conversations in the middle of deliberations over what would happen to him,” executive producer Michael told Variety. “The original idea for the show had him staging a series of interventions in each episode with people in danger. But when we visited him under house arrest, it felt much bigger and more powerful than we anticipated.”

    T.I. YOU ARE BEIN SO FAKE. THE SHIT YOUR TALKIN ABOUT IS BULLSHIT. YOUR A DOPE BOY AND SING ABOUT BEIN A DOPE BOY BUT THEN YOU TELL OTHERS NOT TO HUSTLE AND MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES YOU MADE WHEN U WOULDNT BE WHERE YOU ARE WITHOUT THE MISTAKES U MADE. YOUR SHOW REDEMPTION IS A SERIOUS MATTER THESE PEOPLE NEED HELPRIGHT NOW HUSTLIN IS THE ONLY THING KEEPING THEM GOIN AND YET YOU DISCOURAGE THEM FROM THE ONE THING THAT THEY CAN DO NOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMALIES. GOING TO SCHOOL AND PRACTICING FOOTBALL DONT PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE, HUSTLIN DOES. SOMETIMES ALL U CAN DO IS HUSTLE DAY TO DAY. EVERYONE HUSTLES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER FROM THE PRESIDENT DOWN TO THE DOPE DEALERS. SOME ARE JUS BETTER THAN OTHERS. SO DONT HATE CONGRATULATE APPRECIATE AND PARTICIPATE.

    TI is doin his thing. Alwayz gonna b haterz. Just cuz a nigga fall and jus so happen to fall on a lump of cash dont mean its gonna happen the same way for the next. What he did is like 1 and a million. Its a million niggaz coast to coast hustlin illegally and takn fed chances, but only a small percentage turn that type of hustle into something positive. So congratulate TI on beating the odds.
    He’s music does talk about dope and shyt but there is a message!

    I don’t think TI is knocking anyones hustle. You’re right, every one has a hustle. You just have to chose your hustle just like you chose your battles. Sometimes a quick buck aint always the answer. All money aint good money. Sometimes it takes a threat on your freedom and the foundation you’ve worked so hard to build to realize that a hustle aint shit but a hustle cause everybody’s got one. It comes down to what makes sense. Putting your family at jeopardy and risking your life and your freedom doesn’t make sense. I did that shit once, faced 15 years and got off with a lawyer but I’ll never forget what I put my family and my kids through. I have to stay on a narcotics registry for the next 5 years and the shit happened in 1998. Just think before you make your decision. That’s all he’s saying. I know the economy is bad but if hustling like you’re talking about was the only answer, then everybody would be doing it. That just goes to show there’s another way of doing things. Don’t let your pride be your downfall.
