Although T.I. helped many youths with his "Road To Redemption" show, there were some that he wasn't able to help, like episode 5's Mario. "Mario, man. ... Mario reminded me a lot of me and my homeboys when I was his age ... in a lot of grown-man situations," T.I. says. [watch here] "And I just thought that — or hoped that — I could have a positive impact on him before he got himself into a situation that he couldn't get himself out of." [watch here] TIP went on to say "I heard he was arrested for attempted murder" [watch here]
In related news, T.I.'s latest effort, Paper Trail has arguably been his best album to date.
