Rapper T.I. can’t be outdoors enjoying this Memorial Day Weekend with his family, but he CAN help families enjoy their weekend with their loved ones that are behind bars. The ATL native had a charter bus named “To See a Love One†pick up families from both Atlanta and Alabama this weekend for visits to Forrest City Correctional Facility in Arkansas, where he’s currently serving an 11 month bid. Check out Tip’s statement to MTV after the jump. @MarisaMendez

The Game Talks His Way Out of 135mph Speeding Ticket!!
Last night, The Game caught a BIG break by 2 cops that turned out to be fans of his. While on his drive home, the rapper was clocking 135 miles per hour (wtf?!) in his Mercedes Benz. He really lucked out because that’s not only a MAJOR speeding ticket, but also a wreckless driving ticket, some sort of endangerment ticket and MAD points on your license! Not to mention, that’s truly endangering not only yourself but those around you! A crash at 135mph is killing EVERYONE involved, on SITE! Please, please consider that a blessing and NEVER do that again!!! Read on for Game’s account of the incident. @MarisaMendez
Female Rapper @Kreayshawn Signs Million Dollar Sony Deal After Her Track “Gucci Gucci” Blows Up!!
So last night I’m hanging out on the mean streets of Twitter, and I see Miss Info tweet about a girl I’d never heard of, getting a million dollar Sony deal. I figured she had to be something big, having signed such a huge deal off of this “Gucci Gucci” song (from what I was reading)…so I had to check her out and she’s SO dope! She reminds me of a female version of Lil B (they’re from the same area..The Bay…so it makes sense) and her music is just really fun and catchy. After the jump, check out the video for Gucci Gucci, and click on Info’s link above to read more about her deal. Congrats and looking forward to more music from you!! @MarisaMendez
