T.I. has been evasive in interviews when discussing his [article id="1607943"]jail sentence[/article] for felony weapons charges, simply saying he did his time and now he's back.

But on Thursday (August 19) night, the rapper opened up a little bit more about his time behind bars during an appearance on

el-live-819?cid=fullepisodeaccess" target="_blank">"Jimmy Kimmel Live." Although he cracked plenty of jokes about his experience while incarcerated, he also revealed he taught a class called "Self Enrichment" to his fellow inmates.

"In my stay there, while I was there, I just noticed that so many cats that I was around was like, 'When I get out I don't know what I'm gonna do,' " the Atlanta star said.

Tip said he subsequently went to the warden and proposed the class, which he said he hoped would "change criminal ways of thinking."

Kimmel made a few cracks, asking if attendees had to take tests.

Tip laughed, but the MC -- who also mentored troubled youth as a part of his MTV series "T.I.'s Road to Redemption" -- was serious about his message.

"It was moreso an open coversation and just comparing points of perception and how you look at things in life," he said.

T.I. also spoke about his forthcoming album, King Uncaged.

He confirmed that Kanye West, Young Dro, Mac Boney, and The-Dream would make the cut; recently he said that [article id="1646058"]a previously discussed collaboration with Lady Gaga collaboration would be reworked[/article], or perhaps scrapped entirely.

Since December, he's recorded over 100 songs that were contenders for inclusion on the album.
