Former Rocafella artist Beanie Sigel took to the stage in his native Philly and broke it down for the home team.

Unsurprisingly, he took off on Jay Z (as he has made a habit of doing pretty much every time he’s grabbed a mic in the past few months or so), but Beans aimed the rest of his frustration at a surprise target.

One Clifford “T.I” Harris was the subject of Beanie’s latest barb and while he doesn’t say Tip’s name, it’s crystal clear who he’s referring to.

Let’s just say many in the hip hop community believe T.I. “worked the system” and his bodyguard to get the relaxed prison sentence he did and Beans is one of them.

Add the fact that Beans got a much harsher sentence for a lesser charge and he just might have a case.

Atlanta rapper T.I. was officially been released from a low-security federal prison in Forrest City, Arkansas today (December 22).

The rapper, born Clifford Harris Jr., is expected to report to Dismas Charities Atlanta West correctional center tonight, where he will spend three months.

T.I. was sentenced to 366 days in prison after an October 2007 incident, in which federal agents caught him attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers.

After he has finished his stay at Dismas Charities Atlanta West, the rapper must complete 500 hours of community service, in addition to another 23 days of house arrest.

T.I. is expected to work during the three months he is confined to the halfway house, according to reports.

T.I. is expected to be released to a halfway house sometime in the next few months for his role in an illegal firearms case.

The Atlanta rapper’s activity in the highly publicized weapons scandal ultimately led to a sentence of one year and a day and he is months away from returning home, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, is expected to be confined to his home for a year after he is released from prison and the halfway house on March 23.

A prison spokesman indicated that Harris, like many offenders of the law, are often released to halfway houses when there is no direct threat or danger to their environs.

That process typically begins at or around 18 months prior to the end of said sentence. In Tip’s case, it would clearly have to start sooner.

“It’s not uncommon for inmates to be placed in community corrections for the last portion of their confinement to help with his transition,” noted Bureau of Prisons spokesman Edmond Ross.

They may not have always seen eye to eye, but both Ludacris and the self proclaimed King of the South, T.I., aren’t so visually impaired that they can’t see when the city they both call home, needs them.

In an effort of philanthropy, both rappers donated $10k to aid victims who were affected by the horrific storms in Atlanta just last week.

The damages were estimated at $60 million, left 10 people dead and devastated over 400 homes.

So as to expedite the process of recovery, The Ludacris Foundation teamed up with Home Depot and Sam’s Club. Additionally, Luda’s charity is planning a food drive and gift card giveaway.

The hype over Lebron James’ documentary More Than A Game has grown much like his celebrated arrival to the League in October of 2003 and has unsurprisingly heightened with the recent announcement of a soundtrack that will accompany the film. A portrayal of his life as a pseudo-celebrity high school basketball star, More Than A Game, also includes his teammates, coaches and other significant people who helped him become the man/player he is today.

In retrospect, his accomplishments since becoming the next best thing in the NBA (besides Kobe), have afforded him relationships with the likes of Jay Z, T.I., Drake and Lil Wayne, all of which are either featured or have solo tracks.

Below is a full list of artists (in no particular order) who were tapped to help bring Bron Bron’s project to life.

Drake- “Forever” ft Lil Wayne, Eminem and Kanye West
Mary J Blige – “Stronger”
Jay-Z- “History”
