T.I. VOTES DESPITE CONVICTED FELON STATUS: Rapper hit up Atlanta polling center after re-examining Georgia law.
"Until he is sentenced in the federal case, he doesn't have a conviction yet," said lawyer, Steve Sadow of his 28-year-old client, whose real name is Clifford Harris. "Even though he is a convicted felon, he has a right to vote since he is not serving probation and hasn't started his prison sentence."
Because his jail term doesn't begin until late March, the rapper immediately got himself to an early polling station in Atlanta yesterday to cast his ballot for the next President of the United States.
"It's a relief," the rap star told the Associated Press Wednesday before voting for the first time in his life. "This what it is all about, not staying up late and waking up early to vote. Now rather than just talking about it, I'm being about it. I'm leading by example, and it makes me feel a lot better."
After standing in line for less than 10 minutes, T.I. emerged with an "I'm a Georgia Voter" sticker planted on his black vest. He signed autographs and took photos with several fans who were stunned to see the Grammy-winning artist at the polls.
A spokesman for the Georgia Secretary of State's office confirmed that T.I. was eligible to vote.

RSS icon Lil Wayne Supports Family Of Killed Child

During a benefit event on October 18th, Lil Wayne made an effort to ease the pain of the family, of one his biggest and most loyal fans. Ryan Slingerland was killed last month after his car lost control on a dusty road, before plunging into a tree. His death was included in the local newspaper where it was also mentioned of his love for Lil Wayne's music.
Kathleen Busch read the snippet, and knew Lil Wayne as she stays in the apartment next to him in Florida. She wrote the following note to the rapper.
"A few words from someone meaningful to Ryan would mean more than any amount of counselling or antidepressants. People on the outside see your fur and jewelry and wealth but we're all the same. This is your opportunity to do something."
Busch had sent the letter to her mother-in-law who took it down to Wayne's apartment and presented it to him, after being permitted by an outside bouncer.
The benefit concert, which was aiming to raise funds for the funeral, was enlightened when the parents of the child received a package sent directly from Lil Wayne, including two autographed magazines and a sympathy card.
Lil Wayne also revealed that same day, that he was expecting a son.

Lil Wayne Welcomes A Baby Boy
Wayne's son, Dwayne Carter III, was born Wednesday afternoon (October 22), at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, a rep for the rapper told MTV News. It's Carter's second child. He has a daughter, Reginae Carter, with Antonia "Toya" Johnson, his high school sweetheart, whom he married in 2004 and divorced two years later.
The identity of the boy's mother had not been announced at press time.
Wayne revealed during the BET Hip-Hop Awards that the birth of his son was imminent. He made the announcement during his acceptance speech, after being named Lyricist of the Year.
While changing diapers is in Wayne's immediate future, the MC is prepping the re-release of his latest LP, Tha Carter III. The rapper said the reissue wouldn't be like most reissues, which typically include only one or two unreleased tracks.
"I think we're gonna release Tha Carter III — a new Carter III with none of the same songs, though," he told MTV News recently. "None of them. Not one! We don't wanna call the [next album] we got coming out Tha Carter IV. That was the dilemma we were in. We want Carter IV to be what everybody wants it to be. This is something brand-new, so we don't want it to be some experimental thing, 'cause some people are not gonna like this. I don't want them to not like Tha Carter IV. But I do have an album coming soon, very soon, and it's gonna be called ... Tha Carter III: The Rebirth. The birth of a new beginning."
