Today, T.I. reported to an Arkansas prison to begin serving his 366 day prison sentence. SOHH
caught with some T.I. colleague, including Bun B and producer Jim Jonsin, to see what final
words they had for Tip.

Jim Jonsin, who produced Tip's hit "Whatever You Like" had a unique plan to ensure that the rapper
 is able to continue making music in prison.

"I was trying to see if he could get an iPod in there so he could write some music while he's in there.
 He doesn't think that that's possible.  T.I. look, what I'm going to do for you is I'm going to contact
every crooked cop in the system and I'm gonna find a way to get you an iPod so you can write some
music," said Jonsin.  "So any of you corrections officers that want to try and get T.I. an iPod just contact
 Jim Jonsin and I'll send out ten bucks and an iPod so you can buy some lunch or maybe I'll get you a beer
 tab at your local bar." (SOHH)
Bun B told SOHH that he doesn't think T.I. needs any advice to get through his sentence.
"Tip's a very intelligent young man, he's very resourceful. He has a very sharp sense of understanding life
and situations involved in it. I couldn't give him any more advice than what he probably knows already.
Just to keep God first, stay focused and do his time don't let his time do him. Prison is not a place to
commiserate and make friends at. But like I say, all these things are things that I'm very sure Tip knows
already. I'd just tell him to keep his head up like anybody else and make sure he got an address on me
and I got one on him. So I can shoot him a kite, send him a picture or two. That shit go a long way I don't
think people realize. Tip's a good dude he's a smart dude. I'm pretty sure with God on his side, he'll be alright.
(SOHH)
T.I. turned himself in to authorities earlier today, approximately thirty minutes past his 12 pm deadline.
Rapper T.I. reported to a federal prison in Arkansas Tuesday after a court imposed deadline to begin serving
 a weapons conviction... A federal prisons spokesman said after the deadline that Harris was not listed in
custody. It's not clear if Harris will face any sanctions for apparently missing the deadline. Harris could face
more than eight years in prison if he does not meet terms of his plea deal (AP).

Tony Yayo Speaks On The Game's G-Unit Debut, "That Game Album Was Supposed To Be Mine"

Written by Cyrus Langhorne
G-Unit 's Tony Yayo recently spoke on his former associate The Game and why the West Coast rapper's
 The Documentary should have been his multi-platinum debut.

In addition to Game, the "Talk Of New York" also addressed Fat Joe and how he fell out of touch with
former Unit member Young Buck.
"Yeah, Fat Joe, K.A.R., I seen y'all only did 250 copies," Yayo said in an interview. "I didn't say 250,000,
I said 250

copies. You're not even on the SoundScan...Even the Cam'ron sh*t, it was all competition, as long as it
doesn't get carried away and become physical, I guess it just becomes a battle...That's the thing with Buck,
I had a little altercation in Miami with DJ Khaled at the radio station, sh*t could have got ugly, it was on
Tupac's birthday, too, he said he was gonna do a song with Khaled and that's when I started looking at
the n*gga funny. If 50 says he got a problem with a n*gga then we all got a problem with a n*gga...Game
is not even hot right now, he did a few records. Let me tell you something, Game is a lucky a** n*gga.
When I got out of jail, that Game album was supposed to be my album. All that 'This Is How We Do'
was supposed to be me. But 50 Cent] and [Dr.] Dre had an agreement that sh*t woulda been my album
 that did 5 million. He's a lucky motherf*cker man, I'll give it to him...He's bi-polar. One day he'll be crying
 and then the next he'll want to beef with 50 and it's G-Unot." (Forbez DVD)

50 Cent's Role As Police Informant Exposed, Rapper Speaks On New Film

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson 's role in the upcoming film Caught in the Crossfire has been revealed online
with the rapper starring as a police informant.

The name of the character the G-Unit leader plays has been kept under wraps, but Fif has spoken on his
reaction to filming in Michigan.
The movie has a police theme, with officers searching out crooked cops with the help of a police informant,
 played by 50 Cent. The movie's directors and crew are keeping a lot of their work under wraps. But the stars

 say they are enjoying their time in Grand Rapids. "It's quiet enough for me to enjoy myself," 50 said. "It's
laid back out here. It's not so much going on that I'm uncomfortable being out and about." (WZZM News)
  Fif's latest film project will reportedly focus on corrupt police officers.
Brian Miller , director and writer of the film, said Grand Rapids was an obvious choice to film,
even without the state's new incentives for filmmakers. The film, he said, is a story about two police
 officers and criminal informant who are caught in the crossfire between a gang-related retaliation and
 their own police department, with the life of a child in the balance. "It's a gut-wrenching thriller," Miller
 said. "It's a h*ll of a cast we put together." (Michigan Live)
The rapper's return to the big screen will be alongside established actors.
