It’s a VERY T.I. Christmas On Sandrarose.com!

I hear that the Grand Hustle offices looks like the inside of Santa’s toy factory! The toys are part of a stash that T.I. bought for his 6 kids for Christmas and he doesn’t want them to see.

It must be hard buying toys for kids who have everything. But T.I. and Tiny came through with special, unique gifts for their children. Click here to see one of the toys that T.I. bought for his kids this Christmas.

Meanwhile, yesterday while out running errands I placed calls to the labels to inquire about Christmas goodies for my readers who have supported their artists all year.

Grand Hustle came through once again in the clutch with offers of tickets, backstage passes and other goodies that I can’t mention yet!

Tracye Bryant of Grand Hustle and Kind of a Big Deal, wants to make one reader’s Christmas wishes come true.

She is giving up two front row tickets and two backstage passes to T.I.’s Grand Hustle Christmas Explosion next Tuesday (12/23) at the Macon Centreplex Coliseum in Macon, Georgia.

The winner will also receive two expensive, hand made scarves that T.I. will sign when you meet him backstage.

There are other goodies that I can’t mention, but you will love!

To qualify for the Christmas goodies, all you have to do is be nice. Once again, the Say Something Nice Challenge is on!

The nicest comment in any thread will win the tickets. Good luck!!

Many thanks to Tracye Bryant (Grand Hustle and Kind of a Big Deal), who is pictured here with her good friend Bankhead (V-103).

I hate where I live… especially when you start handing out stuff regarding HIM. Dayum DAYum DAYUMMMMMMM!!!

On a side note-

Is the grand hustle comedy show still going? Tryna catch that during my vacay.
Amulet

I really appreciate that they are giving away something like that, my sister would go crazy if she could meet T.I.

She thinks the world of him.

Just like I think the world of 50 Cent ;o)
Amulet

So Tracye Bryant and Kind of a Big Deal, please let me win those tickets and that would be my gift to my sister,

;Since I don’t have a gift for her (it’s a recession) and all.

I thought that was BOB………….

How about we call this ” The Kiss Somebody(Sandra)A S S Challenge”……….
blackbeautyk

Wow first thanks Sandra for looking out for your readers, even though I think you can be harsh sometime, but one can I say you don’t sugar coat anything. That was wonderful for T.I. as well as Tracye and Grand Hustle to give away the tickets along with the rest of the prize package. He is really a stand up brother. In spite of what he is going through he still gives back to his community, and I can honestly say it’s not because he is facing time, but because he really truly cares and I believe he gets joy out of giving.
kwallace577

i live close enough to be in macon if i wanted to. and i am a big enough person to say something nice if i wanted to.

but the macon telegraph might find out i am in town and put my arse to work and i don’t feel like saying nothing nice right now about “Kind of a Big Deal”.

so i’m not b/c i can’t.
cinnamonkisses97

I would love to be one of T.I. kids , are they adopting anytime soon????
Amulet

@goat, my sister loves T.I. for real.
She said that he is very lyrically profound.

She always talk about him, she is 32, and that’s the only rapper she listens too. Her husband can vouch that.

So no, I’m not kissing ass. I don’t see anything wrong with their picture. They look they are chilling and laidback. And yes, my sister loves T.I.
Amulet

Now if 50 cent was on this page too, I would be all over it, unless I took today off from work ;o)
MRSJONESK

Sandra,
Is this the post we should say something to? Come on, give us something funny like that crazy azz wedding we had to say something nice about.
MRSJONESK

Are we commenting on the pics of Tracey and Bankhead?
goat76

@Amulet………..The Whole Say Something Nice Challenge……Is Kiss Somebody(Sandra)Ass Challenge……..

I like TIP and the GrandHustle Fam too……Why would somebody have to say something nice…..Doing it because Sandra said do it for the tickets…..Looks like ass kissing to me………..
Amulet

@goat, there is nothing really bad to say about this post/picture anyways though, for real.

It’s whatever though…
MRSJONESK

T.I and Tiny are one of the best couples in the ATL. I am so glad that they have not lost touch with the meaning of FAMILY. Tiny is a great mother and a wonderful wifey to T.I.
In spite of all the negative media, they have weathered the storm and have proven that true love conquers ALL. T.I has proven that being a rapper doesn’t have to be a thug and disrespect women to make in the industry. He has matured into a wonderful mature businessman and trendsetter. They have managed to keep family sacared, intimate and personal.That is something to be commended for. I do admire that. I want to wish their family a very Merry Christmas and may God continue to bless them and their kids.
sdsthomas

Sandra, just when I think ur like the Grinch who stole Christmas, you go and do something special. Thatz really sweet of you looking out for your readers. You really do have some devoted readers so I think we all should get cars considering the fact we should have to endure all of the love you show our President Elect (In the voice of Oprah, “You’re getting a car….you’re getting a car… (smiling). Much love to you always because I’m still on here daily with mad cookies to prove it. Anyway, TI truly has a big heart. I had the pleasure of meeting him years ago during one of Hot 107.9 Ryan Cameron’s trip to Jamaica. It was hilarious seeing him take off his shirt on stage trying to hang with Bone Crusher. He really is the sweetest and the love he has for his family is admirable. I wish them a Merry Christmas and Tiny, continue to stick by your man and let the haters stay haters.

I am a TI stan who lives in the A. His lil skinny butt has swagger for days with his cute self. I mean just cute for no reason. Ok let me gather myself..lol I am PMSing so I don’t have anything nice to say today.

was it fun ckarin?
====================
I had fun because I was with one of my BFF’s, but the party was kind of lame…Also, the last Grand Hustle contest was suppose to include dinner w/ T.I. But, Grand Hustle’s Rep. Hannah Kang, forgot to include the dinner portion when she shipped my party tickets…When I informed Sandra that they left me hanging, they shipped me a gift card to nice restaurant(which I still have money on!) to make up for the mix up…It was only messed up, because I really wanted to meet T.I. and I didn’t get an opportunity.
MRSJONESK

LOL@ CaramelDrop. I was just telling my friend the same thing about that darn pony. Don’t have a few drinks, hell, talk about halucinations!!

I think I may be afraid of that pony. It’s very close to a real one.

There are a whole lot of nice comments in that Brandy post.

If I was yall I wouldn’t fall for this. Last person who won a TI contest was not happy with the results.

Sandra you’ll be better posting a riddle and the first to solve it wins. Or wait till 4 or 5 o’clock close the thread and then do a lotto number 1 to the closing post number and pick a winner.

PPl shouldn’t have to be forced to lie.
MUNCHOSGIRL

NOT IN ATLANTA SO DOESN’T MATTER, NOT REALLY A BIG TINY OR TI FAN. I HONESTLY THOUGHT SANDRA WAS GOING TO SAY TI HAD PRESENTS STASHED FOR THE NEEDY IN HIS OFFICES, (HITS SELF UPSIDE THE HEAD, WHAT WAS I THINKING?) IT IS GREAT WHEN YOU CAN SPLURGE LIKE THAT FOR YOUR KIDS.

I LIVE HERE IN MIAMI AND WAS READING THE MIAMI HERLAD THIS MORNING, WAS TOUCHED AT HEART BY A WISHBOOK WISH LIST, MOTHER OF 3, LEGALLY BLIND, AND DEAF IN ONE EAR. SHE IS ON SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME AND PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, BUT STILL HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFUCULTIES. SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING TO A SMALLER PLACE BECAUSE SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS PAYING HER QUARTLY WATER BILL AND RENT. HER WISH LIST IS FOR HER YOUNGEST (13 MONTHS OLD GIRL) NEW SHIRTS, PANTS AND COLORFUL LEARNING TOYS. HER SECOND(9 YR OLD BOY),SPIDER-MAN DECORATIONS FOR HIS BARE ROOM, A BASKETBALL AND UNDERSHIRTS, AND FOR HER ELDEST(11 YR OLD GIRL), HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL AND CHEETAH GIRL POSTERS, BOARD GAMES AND A DICTIONARY FOR HOMEWORK, FOR HERSELF POTS, PANS, AND DISHES. THIS IS ONE OF THE SIMPLEST LIST I HAVE SEEN.

GOD BLESS ALL!

http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

@Muchosgirl…I agree.Nowadays most folks get caught up in recieving expensive gifts (Wii, PS3s,PSP). It’s the simplest things that bring the most joy in life.

I commend her for being not being selfish and asking for a 2009 BMW. Instead she asked for pots, pans and dishes to cook for a meal for her babies. She also asked for Spiderman decorations for her son’s room-she is truly trying to turn her house into a home despite having to cut back on space. Simply beautiful.

Is anyone in the ATL area listening to V103 next week when they start the Wishlist? Last year I listened to the letters Frank and Wanda read over the air; I was moved to tears! It breaks my heart knowing people are out there TRULY struggling. And to hear the stories of why they are in the position they are in, it gets to be too much. Once you tune in, you have a greater appreciation for what you do have. When I think about it, no matter what life brings me to, I know that I am truly blessed.

Looking at the picture, I will say that Tracye Bryant and Bankhead are a great representation of the true meaning of the christmas spirit – love and giving. You rarely find two individuals who can step up and stand out to help others in the community. Tracye is a remarkable individual, and her own success will be greatly magnified –through her commitment in helping others.

T.I., as usual, has been a very influential prson in the urban entertainment community. T.I. represents the true holiday spirit by helping others throughout the year and not just during christmas. When I read about the toys he and Tiny purchased for their children, I can, without a doubt, appreciate all of the time and effort they have put forth to make sure thousands of children can experience what they can offer to their children.

@ Munchogirl is that a family you’re going to sponser. I wanted to do the dear santa thing @ the post office…. but then I realized I am a dear santa letter myself, lol.

@yvonne79,
Frank and Wanda started this week or last week with the wish lists. I have been in tears every morning. It really does make you appreciate what you have even more that ever! Frank and Wanda are great for helping others during the Christmas holiday.

I’ve been helping families for the last two months so if anyone has any money in overflow, please help a sister out…

We still have over 200 kids left on the angel tree who still need sponsors, with the economy the way it is he have more kids this year, than ever before…More kids, very few sponsors…

I had a child put on one of the angels, all she wants for Christmas is food…
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

@MrsJones…I’ve missed it?!? I could’ve sworn she said this morning she was at the office until 7pm last night waiting on folks to drop off their letters because of the deadline. I will make sure I tune in tomorrow.

@ck..a baby put on the angel tree that all she wants is food? My lord, bless her heart.
Ecstracy

@ck – where are you located?

yall, My hubby and I went shopping for our kids last weekend. Now we don’t have any little ones, our kids are 20, 17, and 13… but we were in the video game aisle looking for some Japanese anime for my youngest and I heard this little boy asking his Mom if he could just have some new crayems and a model car. I politely changed my mind about spending $52 on one game, and I went and gave him $25. Then I wrote my 13-year-old a letter about that story and put it under the tree. I think he will appreciate it. If he does I will buy him 2 video games and if he doesn’t, I didn’t raise him as well as I thought, and I did right by that little guy who just wanted crayons. Either way I felt really good when all was said and done and I think it will teach my child a valuable lesson.
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

^^^It took us an entire month to get rid of the tags for the Sickle Cell and AIDS children. For a while, we didn’t think we would be able to get all of these children toys because no one wanted to sponsor a child. At the last minute, we had someone take ALL of the tags of the tree. We sent a mass email throughout the company trying to figure out who it was;no reponse. Three days later, someone dropped a truck load of toys off with security. We still don’t know who it was but I cam glad these children will have something to open on Christmas.

@ck…what do the children need? Do you have a list?
Ecstracy

Thanks Yvonne, but I wasn’t thinking about myself (even though I did feel all warm and fuzzy afterwards) I was just thinking about a little could make one child so happy. In this age of video games and cellphones and crackberrys, this little boy just wanted crayons and hotwheels. My kids are good, but they are spoiled. I think I need to go old school on them and put fruit in their stockings like I did when they were little. My kids used to get reaaly happy over some apples, oranges and raisins. (Disclaimer: We grew up so poor that I was grown before I knew that fruit was NOT a proper gift.)

@ck – do you have paypal?

…yvonne, it’s an angel tree and so it all depends…Ecstracy, no we don’t have paypal, people just come to the school and pull an angel off the tree to help…and, those who want to give financially are encourage to give to United Way-Forsyth Co…

The fact that Tracye Bryant was nice enough to give a real blessing to a TI fan makes my day, Christmas is all about giving back. Orange is my favorite color and I love the jacket she has on. The fact that her friend Bankhead has on a matching jacket is so cute! I wish I had a boo to dress alike! Merry Christmas Tracye and thanks so much for blessing Sandra Rose with tickets/passes! Whomever gets them hopefully will be grateful beyond measure!

@ CKarin

I have little girl clothes with tags still on them (size 3T) and i have a few toys that I can send. It’s not much but maybe you can pair it with something that someone else have given to make a complete package.
