Officer James Polite says the hip-hop star joined the crowd outside the 22-story building Wednesday and told officers he wanted to help. Police said the man agreed to come down in exchange for a few minutes face-to-face with T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris.

T.I.'s publicist says the Atlanta native heard about the situation on the radio and drove to the building to help.

The suicidal man, whose name wasn't released, was taken to a hospital.

The good deed follows recent legal trouble for the rapper.

He spent last year in prison on federal weapons charges. More recently he and his wife were arrested on suspicion of drug offenses last month in Los Angeles while he was still on supervised release.

Kind of nice to see rap and hip hop do something useful instead of talking about sex and drugs.

But sex and drugs are great...

Seriously, though, that's pretty 'hip' of that 'homie'.
This story would be better if he freestyle rapped to the guy telling him not to do it.

I'll quote my friend here:
"You know that feeling you get while hunting? Those chemicals are somewhat similar to those released by methamphetamine.
Those chemicals your brain releases when you're on a rollercoaster? Rather similar to what you get on LSD.
As for sex, I'm not sure, but it seems like a lot of dopamine and a small amount of adrenaline.

You love those chemicals as much as I do, but I just happen to know a more efficient way to get them."

Also, I don't want to infer anything derogatory, but it seems inevitable, so here goes:
You'll change your mind when you have some really great sex.

Rapper helps man from committing suicide?

If I gotta listen to a bunch of it I'd jump too!

Kidding aside, I notice this rapper is facing parole violation(s) and wonder if this whole deal wasn't engineered.

I tend to do that to discussions.

Interesting hypothesis, Joey. I can't say either way, but it sounds like something somebody might do.
