Rapper T.I. is turning his recent conviction into a reality show for MTV.
The show will feature the hip-hop artist performing his 1,000+ hours of community service, which precedes his one-year prison sentence. Shot documentary style, the series will last eight episodes and will detail his daily routine while serving part of his sentence
T.I. (born Clifford Harris) was convicted on a weapons charge which stemmed from an October arrest last October just hours before he was to be given a BET Hip-Hop Award in his hometown of Atlanta.
The previously convicted rapper was charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers as well as possession of firearms by a convicted felon. His new album, Paper Trail, is due out August 12 and the first single, No Matter What, is currently No. 19 on Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks chart.

And yet another reason nothing good is on TV. MTV needs to stop putting this crap on the air, glorifying a criminal with his own 'reality show.'
I'd hate to run into the people that chose to put this trash on the air. It wouldn't end well....
