Since being released from an Atlanta halfway house last month, rapper T.I. has been working hard to rehab his image and what better place to do it than on The View, and RadarOnline.com has video of his cozy interview.

The tough hip hop star looked surprisingly at home with the women as they chatted openly on Tuesday about drugs, prison and ..... shopping for machine guns.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, T.I. served a seven-month stint behind bars following a 2009 arrest on gun charges after he attempted to buy three machine guns in the parking lot of an Atlanta grocery store.
