"The one thing he wishes he could do is vote. His recent conviction on federal weapons possession charges makes him ineligible to cast a ballot. So the 27-year-old multi-platinum selling artist decided to get other young people to do their civic duty as the spokesperson for the Hip-Hop Caucus's new Respect My Vote campaign. "I can't vote," he told PEOPLE in Washington D.C. on Monday. "So I said, 'Okay, so if I'm going to have to be minus my own vote then the least I could do was urge the masses.' I can replace my vote with at least a million, two million others."
Why do all rappers have such gigantic egos? What makes TI think he has the kind of influence to take 2 million non-voters and turn them into voters?
I don't even want to know how many voters Kanye West thinks he'll be drawing in.
TI then when on to say "It's negligent to sit around and watch an election pass by and not have an influence whatsoever on the outcome. That ain't sexy."
That ain't sexy... more inspiring word have never been spoken.
