Clifford “T.I.” Harris and his entire Family Hustle clan is featured in the recent issue of InTouch Weekly.
“Mainstream” media has finally picked up on the fact that Tip, Tiny, and the their extended family are basically a modern day Cosby Show.
InTouch’s cover article features Tip and and his crew poised in a Huxtable-inspired shot… complete with Cosby sweater and an inset of the older “Cliff” and crew as a reference.
As if we didn’t already feel that way…

When asked his thoughts of the comparisons between “Family Hustle” and “The Cosby Show”, Tip revealed:
It’s flattering, though I like to think of us as a unique piece of our society, The Huxtables are more conservative, older and from a different environment.
But we share unity, strength and prominence.
T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle airs on VH1 Mondays, 9PM EST
What are the obvious similarities (& differences) between the two “Cliffords”?

I love them! I know that people are always hating on Tiny but for whatever happened in their relationship they chose to stay. They seem happy and don’t care what anyone thinks
being that we know the Huxtables were a tv family (fake) then it only implies that the Harris’ are emulating a fake persona. kudos to the producers who came up with the concept tho!
This article is nonsense. The last thing we need is kids today thinking that having 4 baby mommas and going in and out of jail, and not knowing how to enunciate your words or speak proper english is equivalent to being the modern day cosbys. RIDICULOUS!!!
Thank you, these people are the last thing that should represent the modern day African American Family, it’s a slap in the face to Bill Cosby, and African American families. This may be a shock but many of us come from a two parent household, with parents that were professionals, and didn’t hae outside children. A convict, with how many baby mamas, no children born in wedlock. It’s people like this that set us back for real. How about being educated, marrying before having children, no criminal record, and making money in a manner that has a positive influence on society. This is some bullshit, glorifying this mess!!!
Are these two even married or are they still just playing house? The Huxtables would not have went for no shackin’ up. Cliff and Claire were lawyers and doctors, not rappers and singers. Nice try though. I love the photo, it’s a nice spoof.
I was thinking too. Right on.
I was thinking *that too
I have to give it to T.I at least he’s teaching his kids how to get their "Hustle On" alot of parents should take note of this, Tiny hang in there Boo and make your haters your motivators.
The most obvious differences are the names. Cosby was Heathcliff…
yuuup…. you got me on that one.
Lord have mercy…Bill Cosby’s head is gonna explode! Damn…we done got him all quiet and they come out with this.
I need to borrow Tiny’s booty inflate machine….
Anyway the Harris crew is unique and represent the hip hop era, while the Huxatables were more so conservative highly educated folks. I can appreciate both shows I love to see us in a family unit wIth a father teaching his boys to men.
YES TINY NEEDS TO LEAVE ALLLL PLASTIC SURGERY &/OR ANY OF ITS PRODUCTS TOTALLY ALONE. THE INFLATED LIPS AND FAKE HUGE BUTT W/HER NATURAL SKINNY LEGS JUST ADD TO HER ALREADY WEIRD LOOKS. CUTE KIDS EVENTHOUGH T.I.’s OLDEST SON WITH THE SOCIAL ISSUES COMES OFF GAY TO ME…….JENNY JONES!!!
tiny and ti’s kids TOGETHER are not cute…they should stop breeding. i mainly say this bc theyre breeding their kids to be all about money and show business when really those two little boys are too homely looking to be on Nickelodeon. that episode left a bad taste in my mouth. Tiny shouldnt be on tv either with her deformed figure.
you are NASTY if you can’t say something good SHUT UP!!!! I find the show entertaining,nobody’s calling each other the b word, pulling /shifting each other’s wigs, jumping on tables. throwing wine bottles at people cussing at each other, acting like animals for ratings….dumb a$$
lmao….just bc theyre not calling each other the B word doesnt mean its really any better…from what i see all they do is teach their kids that life is about $$$ the way he is constantly dangling stacks of cash in front of them. let’s be serious…he is not this educated, family man. he pops pills, drinks sizzurp, goes to jail constantly, and teaches his kids that making money is all that matters…yeah, good luck with them.
LOL this was sooooo mean! I haven’t heard "homely" in years; that was a funny throwback. But I think they are really cute, both King and especially Major. They’re sweet kids, but I wholeheartedly agree that their premature dollar-esque preoccupation is a bit offputting for me personally. Too many references to money, with small children counting rolls of money = boogie ghetto. But I love Tip no matter what.
I misspelled bourgie in my haste, but yeah… bourgie ghetto, but cool.
YEP KANDI BURRESS CREATED A WORD THAT TOTALLY DESCRIBES HER!
THE YOUNGEST LITTLE BOY IS SO ADORABLE!
I LUV THEM
I disagree Major is so cute. He is raising his sons to be men but they do not realize how hard it is to make it in the business. There mindset right now is my dad is TI so I already have clout and money to back me.
The children are cute and adorable and they should keep procreating cuz THEY CAN AFFORD TO FEED THEM!
Sadly,it seems like the dysfunctional people who can’t provide for their children are rapidly procreating. While the ones who are comfortable and well rounded are not having children and if they do its 1 or 2.
Then the children bring the dysfunction from home to the schoolhouse & the cycle continues. And I’m not saying b/c you are poor you’ll fail at parenting but dog-gon-it people with good sense please procreate to balance this mess out. I’m through venting TGIF!!!!!
I’m not into hip hop music and only knew about T.I. from what I read in the papers. I knew about Tiny from her previous reality show. When I watched their reality show I was quite surprised at how I misread T.I.
If this is how this family is in REAL life and it’s not an act for their reality show I applaud T.I. and Tiny. It’s refreshing to see a man who is head of his family, treat his wife with respect and guides his kids into becoming responsible adults.
Ti and Tiny can afford to feed their kids so as far as I’m concerned some of yall need to shut up and get your miserable ass off the computer! Everybody makes mistakes and the fact of the matter is the children are already here so why keep talking about how they shouldn’t have that many kids.
last i checked, their kids were already alive when they were caught doing drugs and going to jail..so……everybody makes mistakes? only low class ppl think going to jail is a "oh well everyone makes mistakes thing"…my mom never been to jail or arrested, neither have i.
NO COMPARISON!
1. Cliff didn’t sell drugs
2. Cliff didn’t spend time in prison
3. Cliff didn’t drink the purple
4. Cliff didn’t marry a PIG
5. Cliff’s kids act like they had sense
6. Cliff didn’t talk like a country bumpkin
7. Cliff and Clare didn’t have 3somes
Lol!!
And there you have it folks! Lol.
3 some??!! Where did that come from?
What the hell is that in back of Tiny?? lol…anyway, i don’t think they compare to the "Huxtables", but then again the Huxtables came off as the perfect black family, when in reality, nobody’s family (black, white, brown, whatever) is that wholesome
I dont understand how women w/children cld come on here an tlk abt someone’s child regardless how ghetto or uneducated u feel they are he treats his wife w/respect & treats his children well ppl kill me that cant afford to do alot of things got to hate on a person they feel shuldn’t have $ they have earned what they have an they are suppose to share there wealth w/there family
they are the huxtables how many families do you know that are the huxtables were fake a sitcom but the harris family is wonderful entertainment in my opinion this man is teaching his children hell the fact that he has all his children is a A+ in my book kids are adorable youngest to oldest and Tiny great woman and wife stop hating i love there show keep it up harris family
i meant they aren’t the huxtables
