I think I met TI walking this trail in Stockbridge about three years ago. I think he has a house in Stockbridge. I know one of his sons went to or go to one of the schools in that same county...maybe it was the one who was acting up. Anyway, he seemed to be a pretty down to earth brother. He was wearing this baseball cap, and I noticed there were two sisters walking about 20 yards ahead of him. They weren't real fine, but they both looked all right. We were walking in opposite directions, so when he was coming towards me, I stopped him, and asked if he was TI, and he said no. Then I asked him if he got asked that a lot, and he said yes. Then I told him I don't keep up with rap, and that I probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him. He knew I was older, and he gave me upmost respect. He may have been on a bike, I can't remember. Btw, this is one of those trails that don't go in a circle, but you walk it to the end, then you have to turn back around. So when I got to the end of the trail, turned around, and started coming back, I saw those two girls coming my way again. I know it's not uncommon for celebrities to have females walking near them, who are really body guards. Anyway, I guess they had reached the other end of the trail, and turned around. So I knew TI was coming not too far from behind these two sisters once they passed me. This time when I passed TI, I gave him a head nod. But his time, he wasn't smiling all that much. He just took his hat off, and gave me a head nod in return. When I saw his head, I began to think that was TI after all. I think this was near the time he was getting ready to go on trial because of that security guard.
I don't mean to derail this thread, but I always wanted to share this story. If if I saw him again, I would probably recognize him. Yall call him lame and all, but if that was him, he showed a better character than most of these brothers in this area. Not saying I would hang with him though. Btw, I'm not saying the brothers in that area act hood, but every time I speak to a brother down here, I wound up sorta wishing I hadn't. There's only a few brothers down here who I instantly clicked with.
