Things I Love: The “Tiny and Toya” show**
Posted by Miss Info under about miss info , good for me , life beyond rap , relationships and family , things I love , videos[73] Comments
**well, maybe Tiny more than Toya but still….
anyone on twitter knows how I feel about T.I.’s ride or die chick, Tameka Cottle. In fact, I’d like to sample her signature “Yeeah, Beh-bay” and use it as my ringtone. But seriously…the first episode drama with Toya’s confrontation with her drug-addicted mother on the streets of New Orleans, and Tiny’s sad struggle with her father’s Alzheimer’s afflication…it’s compelling television. Set DVR to series record.

I like toya because it does seem like she a ride or die chick and her attitude is genuine, yet I just can’t keep stop asking myself is something wrong wit her every time she opens her mouth. The way her mouth forms I be wondering if she had a stroke or something of that nature. I aint clowning or hatin. I actually love that they display that black family love. Regardless of whatever is going on in their lives you don’t know what’s going on. They keep it family all the way and I respect that

I would but Toya’s accent annoys me. And Tiny’s mom sounds like the wife of a old Southern plantation owner.
I’m afraid I’ll need English dubs if I’m required to sit through this.

When I saw the previews, I thought the show was just gonna be “The BabyMama’s of Atlanta” but after sitting through the first episode, I have to say that it’s actually a really good show. I love the fact that they’re dealing with real drama and not doing it in a “reality style” way.
Plus I can honestly identify with Toya, and the whole never loving after Wayne. Ion’t love Wayne, but after being with someone that long and trying to build a life and knowing you cant??? Yea….I’m a be home on tuesday nights from now on.

as much as i like this show…i feel like my becoming a viewer of this show is perpetuating/acknowledging some of the whack ass programming on bet…so i think i’m not going to keep up with it. watch me backtrack and watch every single episode plus all the reruns and specials about this show. i doubt it. i know it’s reality tv, and it’s real life and compelling stories. i don’t blame them…cause i actually like tiny, but i’m just tired of all these reality shows. i don’t think i will continue to watch it, even if it’s an empowering women storyline thing. i won’t watch the salt n peppa, or chili show either. i’m so tired of REALITY tv…so i’m really sorry tiny and toya, because as much as i want to watch your show. i can’t. gosh. i’m going to be missing out on some good drama though. tiny’s mom seems like a real good mama…and toya, wow, i guess she’s lucky in a way.

I just wanted to check out a few comments about the show and then i learned that the world is so narrow-minded and prejudice and that will never change, reality show or not. And I quess you people have not traveled very much to this part of the world, because the way their speak is called ACCENT, look it up. And by the way BET is not a video channel, it is CALLED, AND NAMED, BLACK, ENTERTAINMENT, TELEVISION. SO, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THATS’ WHY WE HAVE A CHOICE TO WATCH OR NOT WATCH AND PLEASE PEOPLE USE YOUR REMOTE CONTROL AND FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU LIKE. O. K. AND STOP BEING IGNORANT.

Why hate the fact that tiny accepted her man award on his behalf? you bitches would of talk shit about her if she did not get up and go get his award. It was a honor to see her rep her man when he could not be there to recieve his award. I know you bitches are going to still be watching the show even when you said your not. Why cause you want to see what it is that T.I. see in her. He loves her so get the fuck over it. Tiny is not trying to please you bitches. Her obligation is to her man.

Just watched the show online….
*blank stare*
Wow. You actually like this Miss Info? Wow.
I know alot of people will tease both Tiny & Toya about alot of things. And there’s tons of things to rag on Tiny about. However, my biggest gripe is that neither of these women are really interesting enough to have a reality show. The show is boring and just plain bad. Miss Info if you wanna see an intersting show about families struggling with a loved with an addiction, try Intervention on TLC. Now that’s some ish there.
Toya is the more likeable of the twosome in my opinion,I think you just like Tiny cuz she’s like a bad car wreck. But uhm….yeah I won’t be catching anymore episodes of this nonsense. As a black woman from the South I am taking what’s left of our collective dignity and identity and in the spirit of Corretta Scott King, boycotting this hot mess of a television travesty. SMH and hangin it in severe shame.

i love Intervention and this other show Obsessed. But the reason why I like Tiny and Toya is purely sentimental. I find Tiny compelling for a few different reasons. I think that as a girlfriend/mom everyone wonders why her, what does he see in her. And when I see how she carries herself (as bamma as it may seem) I think I see what it is. There’s something very endearing, at times naive, and uncomplicated about her. Also, she makes me laugh….sometimes at her but not in a mean way. And finally, I’m so different from those girls but I still like seeing what crazy things they wear, the party girl scene, the baller wives lifestyle….
so, there you have it. The production value isnt high art, but I’ll take it.

I hear that. Sometimes things don’t have to be a grand production to be able to appreciate them. I may not watch too many episodes but I’m pulling for Tiny in general.
Now if we can only convince YOU to pitch a reality show then we’d have something grand.

I understand. I just hope everyone doesn’t take this as gospel as to how we roll down here. It’s a snapshot of one clique only. LOL I guess there are those who wonder why Tip is with Tiny. We’ve known down here for a long time how they really get down and if they showed the real story and backstory it would make much more interesting television than this ish. I’d even take a very special ep where Toya puts Nivea on blast. Now that ish would be hella real. But following Tiny around while she opens a nail shop (sigh) and Toya pining over Wayne…I just can’t. Keep me posted on the highlights tho. LOL

ok so you must have the best life in the world right? Who are you to judge her for her actions? That’s her life and how she lives it is definitely up to her. She clearly mentioned not growing up in a loving family or household and there is NO LOVE more unconditional than that of your childs (and God)and if someone, anyone tells someone who hardly hears it that they love them…that means just as much as a piece of bread to a starving person. And yeah she has to get out and do her but my momma’s life goal was to raise her kids properly and to a certain extent aint shit wrong with that! Better than raising some hood rat slut or bum ass nucca. Parents should make their children their priority

When you put your life on national TV people are going to give their opinion of you. That’s why there are millions of websites with comments sections just like this one. G$ is just 1 of a billion people, including yourself to give his opinion. Not trying to get all in you guys’ debate, but this reminds me of what someone replied to one of my comments last week on this site. Too many posters on here taking everyone’s opinion personally instead of just giving their own opinion and falling back.

I never said that I have no problem with her having sex and a child at a young age…BUT its not uncommon in households where you have a drug abuser for a parent and/or missing parents. Its unfortunate and speaks volumes on the impact drug abuse has on our communities. And so what she still loves her ex-husband..the heart wants what it wants. And besides before he was Weezy F. Baby he was just Wayne. Also as long as she parents properly she sets more than one example for her daughter and when ever has loving a man been a category in how well a role model someone is?!?

I like Tiny for the simple fact that T.I. seems to have a real genuine love for that woman and that’s something I can respect. He could clearly have any woman on earth (and still does…) but he’s riding with her. That could be part of the reason as well. Like many Hip Hop/athlete wives they’re willing to put up with the cheating and whatnot…

i thought i was the only one who really liked the show! Toya has an interesting story to tell so does Tiny! and people need to remember she has had money long before TI and those checks are still rolling in from co-writing TLC Waterfalls! now Toya I know you were young but why and how Lil Wayne! geesshh! and I wish she would tell the world how old he really is, hes not an 80′s baby im thinking ’78 or ’79 but hell take 82 to his grave, i guess!

Why not if MC Hammer is getting a reality show why not Tiny and Toya. Not a big fun of reality TV. I stick to what I know best, 24, Family Guy e.t.c lost track of Lost from season 3 or 4 and can’t even bother catchin up, then BET, sports all the way and every now and then MTV.
Tiny’s cool. Like, what is it about her physical features? Is she too good for T.I.P or not good enough? C’mon Tiny is aiight sorry but I got a glimpse of her assets no disrespect to T.I and she scored well especially in the chest area. That being said there’s something about Weezy that every chick he’s been with, I tend to lose interest in them. Even Lauren London is starting to look regular, i’m feelin Cassie though and RhiRhi.
Plus is it too early to start the FREE T.I campaign??!! what the hell FREE T.I

Well a reality show is just that, watch it don’t watch; it creates this right here, something for us to talk about. either you’ll like it or not, think of it as the movie that flopped, or not BUT….. (i know I’m gonna get it for this) ” is it just me or does Tiny sound like one of the autobots in transformers? I’m still trying to figure out the name of the robot.

I like the show it shows how women can be strong even if there man is gone away for a min. or if your man has moved on with his life. Now the show has some good points to it so that’s why I like it but I know if tiny came out with another cd I would get it cause she is my girl an has a lovely voice. But I know that tony needs to be strong an try to help her mother as much as she can we only get one so try to keep her off the street an show her that you love her an not the street because we all need that kind of love sometime in our life. But she is doing a good job so far just keep at it. And tiny if you have not fulled your dream all the way you need to I just wish I could get some of my things out there an you can so go for it. you don’t have to stay with it just to you fill better about things because we see that you love to sing you get it from your dad like yourr mother said so go for it girl. I would buy it hopefully you can buy my record one day to just remember the name Nikki Pooh she is coming out soon with her first recording I hope you like it when it hit the stores. But there’s not much to do here in Birmingham so I will have to go other places to get heard an signed.

When I got married, I had been so stressed out because of every little thing I had to put together for the big day. I had little idea about the best ways to take care of the wedding speech. At that time I uncovered this fabulous wedding speech guidebook that helped take considerable pressure off my mind and also really helped made my wedding day a success!
