T.I. and Tiny visited 106 & Park yesterday (February 1) to talk about the passing of “Soul Train” creator Don Cornelius, and what he meant to the culture.
“It was about him creating a platform for us to be able to see ourselves,” Tip said. “Every Saturday morning after cartoons I was waiting and hoping Run DMC or somebody was on there. If not for him, we wouldn’t have had that. And not just my generation, but generations before me.”
Tiny actually appeared on “Soul Train” as a member of the group Xscape. She remembered what the experience was like.
“When I first started out we were on Soul Train and it was a great experience. It was the first time I realized they lip sync. So, you know it was something different,” she said. “He paved the way for a lot of us to make it.”
The couple was asked about rumors that tiny was pregnant. Rocsi tried to pry the information out of Tiny without success.
“Well, now y’all know I can’t give it away,” Tiny said, before T,I. interrupted.
“Hold up, wait a minute. The television channel said y’all gonna have to watch the t.v. show.”
I guess we’ll find that news out on VH1’s “T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle.”
