Georgia Grammy Winners React
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On his way to dinner to celebrate his third Grammy, Atlanta rapper-actor T.I. said he was “honored to be honored in this fashion. This is a result of a lot of hard work during what has been a very hard year”.
The artist born Clifford Harris (pictured above with fiancee Tameka “Tiny” Cottle) said he wasn’t sure when he would be in Atlanta, as he still has lots to promote — including his MTV reality show “T.I.’s Road To Redemption:45 Days To Go,” which debuts tomorrow night at 9 p.m. on the cable channel.
“This is something I wanted to do to kind of take the focus off of my situation,” T.I. said of “Road”. He is facing a sentence of 366 days in jail next month after pleading guilty to weapons charges. “And instead,” he continues, “use my experience to help those who may be headed towards the situation I unfortunately find myself in.”
During the series he will help seven at-risk teenagers, as well as give fans glimpses of his personal life. “I’m proud of the show,” he added. “And I’d like to say ‘thank you’ to Atlanta for just supporting me.”
What did you think of his performances of “Swagga Like Us” (featuring Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne) — which won him best rap performance by a duo or group — and “Dead and Gone” with Justin Timberlake? (See YouTube clips BELOW) Planning to watch his MTV show?

Didn’t watch it. Won’t watch it. Couldn’t care less about watching.
Award shows are nothing more than a chance for entertainment “celebrities” gather and bask in their self-created glow and tell each other how wonderful they think they are.
I’ve got MUCH better things to do with my time.
