Dear Auntie Sandra,
I was just on your website and I saw the picture of T.I. leaving NYC offices after meetings. The comments that your readers posted about the old white guy standing next to T.I. are hilarious, but please inform your readers that he is none other than David Ritz!!! The author behind the autobiographies of Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Etta James, Aretha Franklin & Ray Charles. He is a literary legend and he has made millions off of his books. So he is nobody to make fun of.
If T.I. is getting his assistance with this book, it WILL be a best seller believe me!! Thanks for your posts and please continue to keep us informed.
Much Love,
Jenett
Well it just goes to show that you can’t judge a book by its cover. No pun intended.
Ahh…I really don’t care who he is…he still looks crazy…
those damn drawstring pants killing me!

Basically
But is she trying to say he is nice with the pencil?
i didn’t read the comments, but if I know the SR fam, they went in. it’s all in fun though.
Blank stare.
Sidebar: I never noticed the white men in the photo in the initial post. I was blinded by Clifford’s smile.
Anyways, folks must realize that on SR no one is exempted from ridicule. Not even Sandra, the owner of this site.
I also hate when we give ‘shine’ to a celebrity for writing a book when a ghost-writer completed the process for them.
Same thing for artists who claim to write and produce their own songs, but really have a camp behind the whole process doing the work the entire time.
Fall back! Can’t claim props for something that you truly didn’t do!
TI illiterate behind can’t write a book! Can he even read a book???
What the fukk ever….that dude still look crazy as hell and I’ma keep
AND IsaiahsMom
at “Fall back! Can’t claim props for something that you truly didn’t do! TI illiterate behind can’t write a book! Can he even read a book???”
I was sayn the same thing. I love TI but I HATE his talk game…hate to hear him give interviews. He just sounds so fake and #wannabeintelligent but just ain’t got it.
Oh ok Jenett, he still looks like the hamburglar. I don’t know why she would think he should be exempt from being made fun of for writing books. Whatever Girl….

I agree.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Couldn’t have said it better myself
He’s cute, but he shouldn’t speak unless spoken to…
I’m mad somebody said he look like Hamburgular! Y’all are a fucking mess!
He looks like Phil Collins and Hamburgular mated and produced a baby.
i’ll have to youtube some ti interviews. i can’t think of ever seeing/hearing one. trying to sound intelligent never works. reading helps to improve your vocabulary. part of comprehending what you’ve read is looking up words new to you (for their meaning). this increases your vocabulary. so when people say they dont read books, blank stare. there are other ways to improve ya vocab also, dont get me wrong.
TI means well. you may not think he’s well spoken or he’s trying too hard, but i wouldn’t dismiss him as an idiot either. but yeah, side eye to the whole ghostwriter thing that seems to be so common for celebrities. written by “said celebrity” WITH mr. ghostwriter.
Jenett…Girl Bye!
As if money and status exempts one from laughter…
Okay. back to work.
*lurk mode*
Just because he is an author doesn’t mean he has to walk around with the tools he uses on his shirt. If he was a plumber would he feel the need to walk around with toilet bowls on his shirt, LOL? @Isiah’s Mom, you know Phil Collins looks better than that (i’m a stan of his,
