T.I. originally thought his voting privileges were revoked as a convicted felon, until he researched and learned that under a Georgia law felons are eligible if they're not currently serving probation or a prison sentence.

"It's a relief," said the best-selling rapper, who stood in line for no more than 10 minutes on Wednesday before entering a polling center in suburban Atlanta to vote for the first time in his life.

"This what it is all about, not staying up late and waking up early to vote," he added. "Now rather than just talking about it, I'm being about it. I'm leading by example, and it makes me feel a lot better."

Lil Wayne has decided to hold off on releaseing his new line of Champagne. Sources say Weezy didn't think it was save to release the "Halo" champagne due to the country's economy. As we previously reported, earlier this summer, Lil Wayne partnered with Milestone Brands and Voirin-Jumeh to create Halo Champagne and had a release set for the end of this year. At the time Weezy said “I’m excited about this venture with Milestone Brands,” continuing, “Champagne is for celebrating. There are so many different business opportunities…I want to take advantage of it all. I’m ready to put my foot in a new door.”

In related news, Weezy has been making headlines lately for missing scheduled concerts. The promoter of one of these shows in Rochester, New York says that the missed concert will be made up on December 6th at the same venue (Blue Cross Arena) which Weezy refused to play at because it had a bad sound system. Original tickets will be honored and refunds for the missed show will be available till December 14th.

Eminem recently said in an interview that his new album will have "a lot of material". After he worked five solid months with Dr. Dre. Eminem said "For the last five months I've been working pretty much straight with Dre. There's going to be a lot of material, more so than I've had on an album with him producing before."

Eminem went on to say "Obviously his beats are insane but aside from that I can rap, I can write and not worry about what the beat has to sound like and how loud a snare drum is. All those things are taken care of for me. I feel like a spoiled rapper. I get to pick and choose everything."

T.I. will be featured in an hour-long TV documentary entitled "Walking With Guns", which will premiere on Sunday.

The documentary, which is presented by former United Nations ambassador Andrew Young, focuses on gun violence and is centered around T.I., who was convicted for attempting to buy machine guns and silencers.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, pleaded guilty to several charges last March and was sentenced to prison time, community service and supervised home detention. His community service includes warning young people about the dangers of guns, gangs and drugs. T.I. will serve a one-year sentence in federal prison in March of next year.

The "Walking With Guns" documentary follows T.I. as he visits a rehabilitation hospital in New York for patients who have been paralyzed as a result of gun violence and joins him on his tour across the country telling youth how to avoid guns and violence. All of which are part of his plea agreement.

The documentary was filmed shortly after Young, the former mayor of T.I.'s hometown of Atlanta, began to mentor T.I., 28, soon after his conviction.

The film, part a series called "Andrew Young Presents," is expected to begin airing Nov. 2 on TV stations around the country.

There was a screening of the film held on Sunday at the Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta. Afterwards, T.I. and Young spoke on a panel, along with Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, Atlanta Chief of Police Richard Pennington and rapper "Killer Mike" Render.
