[Darth Biscuit]

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Rapper T.I. helped police persuade a man not to jump off the roof of high-rise hotel roof in Midtown Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon, police said.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, talked to the man about how a person "can make it through anything," Atlanta Police spokesman James Polite said.

"T.I. just happened to be in the right place at the right time," Polite said.

Good thing that man was able to catch T.I. between jail stints.

Did you read the article... that's why he was in ATL...

Harris faces his own life crisis this week when he appears before a federal judge, who is considering revoking his probation on a weapons conviction.

Well I quoted all you needed anyway... plus that part about him being in ATL for a court appearance...

I heard this morning he was attempting to jump off a radio station not a hotel and that TI was in town for his court appearance and heard on the radio that this man was attempting to jump so he ran over quickly to see if his celebrity status could help.

Seems kind of fishy to me.

did he talk him down or rap him down?

Maybe he hopes the court will look favorably on it. He just got out of jail a few months ago and now he's going back... Maybe this was his way of doing pre-community service

[Boltergeist]

He probably talked him down by offering to share some stuff in his car

Yup heard that too. Radio station, not a hotel.

My money's on he set this all up to look good and have a swell of positive press immediately prior to his court appearance.

I mean honestly, who jumps off a radio station building?
