T.I. To Use Jail Time To Plot His Comeback

T.I. says he plans to use his forthcoming time behind bars to plot his comeback.
Starting in March, the Live Your Life rapper will begin a one year jail sentence for gun felony charges - after being arrested in 2007 for possessing three illegal guns and silencers. But T.I. isn't going to dwell on the negative aspect of being locked up, instead he'll spend his time working on his next career move.
"Presumably, while I'm there, I'll be able to strategise my comeback," T.I. tells MTV.com. "All those days will be spent speaking to people who are interested in being in the T.I. business. Preparing myself for the days those doors open, when I put my feet back on the ground of the free world."
"It's just months of planning. It's just a long time to roll the project out. I ain't gonna just be sitting still doing nothing. The wheels will be turning, just the car ain't going nowhere."
And the star is even planning to make a movie before he heads to jail.
"The film I'm producing over at New Line, For Sale, we're trying to put that together, and hopefully we'll be able to do that before March. We're getting offers every day, checking on our availability, on whether or not we'll be able to take advantage of certain opportunities, film-wise."
