The Dirty Laundry for December 8, 2010

The Dirty Laundry

T.I.says he's using his time behind bars, again, to become a "better man." Yesterday, the same day his new album, "No Mercy" came out. Here's the letter:

"So here it is...NO MERCY, the most honest and intimate installment of my life story as promised. Hope y'all enjoy it and it lives up to the very high standards I've set for myself or anyone who's to be considered one of the best. I must admit it takes a lot to go through as much as I have and still keep the love in your heart and in your art. But at the end of the day, if that's what it takes to produce the music that keeps the world of hip-hop evolving on it's axis....Then even the lowest of the lows of my life was all worth it. Thanks again for your prayers, your time and attention. And remember....It does'nt matter how long it'll be before the next time you see me. What matters is that I'll be a better man before that time comes. The longer I sit, the smarter I get.

I'd like to give a vey special thank you to all the fans who've been writing me and lifting my spirits everyday. I read all of them. Although I would never be able to write you all back...I'd like to list as many of you individualy as i can and thank the others collectively. It's a relief to know that there still are people who see a man with a life and not just another headline in the news. Most of you sound very concerned and optimistic at the same time about my situation. Let me assure you all that I am deffenitely keeping my head up. I don't consider myself done by far. Also many of you are convinced as I am that God has a plan for me that he's preparing me for. How do you tell God Almighty that all you wanna do is LIVE LIFE ??? What if all you wanna do is be a father to your kids, a husband to your wife, and son to your mother while providing insightful motivation through music and lending a helping hand when posible to those who need it most.

Well guys...That's the topic of discussion between me and the MOST HIGH at the moment. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out. Who knows maybe you can look foward to hearing the dialogue between us set to music on the next album...which I'll be announcing the official title to sooner than later. But until then, thanks again for all your understanding, love and support. Y'all take it light and be eazy."
- Love King.

Here are some excerpts from Lil Wayne's interview with Billboard.com:

Lil Wayne spoke on his visitors, writing, “I'd have to say the visit from Diddy was most surprising because there's a lot that you're required to go through and to think he did just to see me is more than cool. But again, everybody has been more than supportive. I never felt alone.”

Billboard asked Weezy a two-part question about T.I. going back to jail and if he thinks prison actually rehabilitates inmates. Wayne answered, “No comment.”

When asked to name the most important thing he learned through his prison experience, Lil Wayne said: “I've learned about my strength and inner peace. I've shown myself how patient I can be. The most important or positive thing I've gotten out of this is the ability to be so humble.”

In fact, Weezy closed his written interview by saying that the first five things he’s going to do when he gets out of prison is “kiss Reginae, kiss little Dwayne, kiss Neal, kiss Kameron and kiss my wonderful mother Cita.”
