If not for him, we wouldn&#8217;t have had that.  And not just my generation, but generations before me.&#8221;</p><p>Tiny recalled her appearance on the show in the &#8217;90s with her group Xscape.  &#8220;When I first started out, we were on &#8216;Soul Train&#8217; and it was a great experience,&#8221; she said.  &#8220;It was the first time I realized that they lip-sync, so it was something different, but I loved it.  He paved the way for a lot of us to make it and be seen.&#8221;</p><p>The couple also addressed rumors that they&#8217;re expecting another child.  &#8220;Ya&#8217;ll know I can&#8217;t give it away,&#8221; said Tiny, before T.I. interrupted to tell them to tune in to their VH1 show, &#8220;T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle,&#8221; to find out.</p><p><span id="more-112066"></span></p><p><center><object width="480" height="270" id="kickWidget_176704_437150" name="kickWidget_176704_437150" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://serve.a-widget.com/service/getWidgetSwf.kickAction"><param name="movie" value="http://serve.a-widget.com/service/getWidgetSwf.kickAction" ></param><param name="FlashVars" value="affiliateSiteId=176704&#038;widgetId=502288&#038;width=628&#038;height=386&#038;playOnLoad=0&#038;js=1&#038;autoPlay=0&#038;revision=80&#038;mediaURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bet.com%2Fvideo%2F106andpark%2F106guestrewind%2Ft-i-tiny-106-and-park-869%2F_jcr_content%2Fleftcol%2Fvideoplayer.mrss%3Ftype%3Dembed" ></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" ></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" ></param></object></center></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.rap-up.com/2012/02/02/ti-and-tiny-remember-don-cornelius-address-baby-rumors/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
