T.I. Responds To Gyantunplugged/Atlantic Records Contest Winner Personally To Offer Support & Advice!

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

During the holiday season Gyantunplugged.com, in conjunction with Atlantic Records and Grand Hustle’s TI came together to giveaway a laptop computer for a lucky reader.

An essay contest was set up and one lucky winner was selected.  Ralph, age 14, sent in a truly moving letter that stood out amongst all the others. And after we posted it here on the site word got back to T.I. himself. And guess what? He responded to our lucky winner personally over email.

We felt it appropriate to not only share it with Ralph, but you all as well.

Hey Ralph,

What’s haaapnin’? Happy New Year to you champ.  I just wanted to reach out to you to say congrats on winning the contest and a new laptop.  You deserved it.  I read your essay and I must say that I admire your maturity, your intelligence and your self-respect. You’ve shown a lot of courage and integrity going against the grain and opposing peer pressure.  It takes a real “G” to stand up and do the right thing when everyone else is doing the opposite.  I SALUTE YOU bruh!!!!  See most of your lil buddies just doing what they’re doing cuz they don’t know any better yet. They think it takes all that to be considered a “Real Nigga”, when all it really takes is for you to be real with yourself.  That’s what you’ve done.  All the smoking, drinking and fighting in the world can’t make you any more of a man than you’d be without it.  Matter fact it does just the opposite.  Believe it or not, I bet 1/2 of the guys in that lil crew that’s doing all the “thuggin” don’t really wanna be apart of it either.  They just scared that if they don’t do it that they won’t be “cool” and cats might call em “lame”.   Remember this Ralph. Being smart and saying that a life of crime ain’t for you does’nt make you a “SUCKER”.  Being stupid, doing things that only lead to prison or the grave doesn’t make u a “GANGSTER” either.  Life’s about learning, growing and making a better way for your moms, your kids and anyone else in your family that comes up after you.  The only way you do that is by getting the most education you can so you can create opportunities for yourself and prosper.  Let them other lil niggas get in trouble, you just concentrate on getting da PAPER!!!! U dig???  Again, it’s great meeting you…

Be Eazy & keep up the great work.

Sincerely  – King.

Let Ralph be the shining example that your personal story could inspire a nation. Or just inspire one. And perhaps if your lucky it can inspire a superstar.

Thank you T.I. and Atlantic Records.

Gyant Giveaway: TI/Atlantic Records Laptop Contest Winner Selected!

Monday, December 20th, 2010

The Gyantunplugged, Atlantic Record, TI contest has been done since last week. With so many submissions it was truly difficult to select a winner. Each easy was thought provoking and well written. But we had to make a decision.

And the winner is…..

Name: Ralph Adje

Age: 14

Hi. My name is Ralph and I’m a young male living in the hood. I feel that constantly I’m being pressured by my friends to do illegal things such as; smoking, drinking, and beating up innocent people. But if say “No” to them they call me names, or maybe try to beat me up. But I always manage a way to escape.

T.I is one of my role models. I heard about some illegal activities he’s been doing, and the consequences he had to suffer. I sometimes wonder if I follow my friends I may suffer same consequence or even greater. I’m a good student it’s just that peer pressure can change me into something else. It is so hard to remain on the straight path because the environment I’m in and my friends.

I’m a person who would one day become a rapper or computer software engineer. I am currently planning to release my mixtape. If I don’t make it big, I have a back up plan of being an engineer. If I win this laptop it will keep me busy from the streets, and help make one of my dreams come true. I will try my best to stay on the straight and narrow path unlike T.I (no offense).Thank you for reading my essay.

Congratulations Ralph!
