By far, one of the MOST underrated statements EVER!!! This is the problem, the goal is to sow instability in our community. If I love you brother....I can come to you and DISCUSS (!!!!!) an issue before I start ish, with you!!
@@scipiowilliams1510 man.....if we could just solve that puzzle as a culture we would really be feared. They fear us and we are still broken....can you imagine where we would be if we got it ALL together?
@55:44 I do kinda get where Tank is coming from. NE set a standard during his lifetime that was duplicated by many. But, who inspired NE? Say what you will about Little Richard, but he was correct, the originators aren’t acknowledged.
I’m late to this interview. The most powerful thing Tank shared was, “Black male R & B singers talking about love, pouring into your children and loving your woman is the threat”. In heavy rotation is negative music, not music that brings families together. Right on Tank!!!!
Tired of Jamie Fox’s puffy party stories especially when suge couldn’t go in because snoop said oh helllll nah don’t let him in. Matter fact yeah we deff need Jamie fox on drink champs uncensored
Tank brought all of his entertainment energy to this interview, his acting, his Broadway stage presence, his r&b swag, and his stand up comedy timing. He owned this interview from start to finish!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This man is a great story teller. I’m mesmerized listening to him talk about his early days as a background singer. He’s also real and honest. Great person!
“Our violence isn’t the threat, our love is.” 28:00 I literally typed this up, framed it, and hung it up at my office as a reminder to my clients. Thank you for this Tank 😊
This is one of the BEST interviews on DC. I didn’t expect this interview to be so dope, funny, honest, and with jewels being dropped. I look at Tank with so much more respect as a artist and a person. Thank you guys for this!
Indeed!! Tank’s intellectual depth & hilarity has changed my perception of him! I WILL be supporting him (buying tickets & paying for his songs from here on)❤️🥰
you can tell Tank was serious when he says his calling was to be a pastor lol, his ability to tell and break down a story is incredible. he keeps you engaged the whole time, genuinely one of the best speakers ive heard. i reverted to islam but id definitely show up for a Tank sunday service every now and then lol.
A lot of people didn’t know Tank can write, arrange, produce, mix and master his own shit. Most of your favorite artists could NEVER!!!! Tank is a slept on artist in R&B and an artist I wish got a lot more recognition. This interview was one of the best drink champs episodes it was very real.
The fact that Tank gave props to R Kelly as the King of R&B just made me like him more! You can’t be a real R&B head and not acknowledge that! Hes the reason we have artist like Tyrese & Tank.
I loved that too, but hate the way he down played The Dream. The shit I’ve seen The Dream do on instagram live, he is also on that level of 1 man operation in a studio.
R.KELLY LET THAT BE KNOWN, LONG BEFORE TANK... AND US IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY ALREADY COINED THIS FOR HIM. OUTSIDERS (NON BLACKS) JUST NOW CATCHING ON.
You articulated the way I felt after watching this perfectly! I don't think I've ever heard him talk for more than 2 mins before this but this was really great insight to who he is! Far more depth than I assumed and a very likable and engaging personality! N.O.R.E. platform is really great too!
Tank and Jamie Foxx are the ultimate storytellers! This was such an entertaining, insightful, funny, and authentic interview! I LOVE me some Tank too 😍
This is hands down one of the best drink champs!! Tank needs his own show. He is very entertaining just by authentically being himself. He's an awesome story teller
I Love the fact he gives Aaliyah the reason who he is now in the industry. Many ppl really don't know Aaliyah was the inspire and put on for Tank. I Love the Appreciation❤💚💯
JOE is a guy who writes and produces his own record and doesn't get a lot of recognition as well. He has been doing it for a long time and super underrated. Fire interview though one of the best ones by far.
Tank is sounding like a preacher. I have never watched a Tank interview but this has got to be one of my favorites. Who would have thought Nore and Tank would bounce off one another so well.
This interview was amazing! Tank is real and down to earth. He is a real one for real! Thank you N.O.R.E and DJ EFN. You both are appreciated for all you do.
@@shawnstrickland7313 because you’ve never been great at something, making you a potential target for haters of all sorts…being a failure is the safe life and you’re very well protected by being subpar.
Y'all I felt this interview all over my body, spirit, and soul.....Tank came to give DC'S all of him. I laughed , cried, watched in awe, kept saying he's a real one, etc. I've been a fan of Tank, but I've never seen him in this light before - I loved all of it. HAND CLAPS for DC'S for bringing us real interviews and for NORE and DJ EFN. I was so locked in on this mans words, honesty, and transparency. Like someone mentioned - this was one interview that NORE didn't and couldn't even if he tried to talk over TANK - wasn't happening LOL!!!!!
“Our violence isn’t the threat. Our LOVE is.” - Tank This gent has the tonality, wisdom and swag that is unmatched. Salute and love from #TeamHoltz 🫶🏽🧡🫡🔥
Why does Tank not have his own podcast?, he always delivers a great interview. He can definitely do in the podcast space what Keith Sweat has done in radio
Definitely one of the best interviews of the year! Funny, down to earth, real, etc. Tank definitely feels like the homie. S/O to the Champs for getting Tank.
I watched this doing my overnight shift and let me just say my coworkers probably think I’m crazy because I was literally laughing out loud so much! Big shout out to Tank because this man is a complete GEM! ❤️❤️❤️
This was a dope interview. Funny, entertaining, educational and deep. Tank is well connected and relatable! Talent is undeniable! This interview showed his depth. Loved it!
September 11, 1997 was my first concert. I remember Tank singing those vocals. I was blinded by Timbalands diamonds. Aaliyah was amazing but thinking back, Mary and Bone Thugs was the headliners. AMAZING concert to top. Dru Hill was there also 🔥
Shaddup!! I remember that tour! They came to down and was at my hotel and Aaliyah’s dancer was in need of a haircut. Met Mary J and the whole roster was fire!
Nice to hear Tank talk positively about R. Kelly! A few years ago on social media, some artists / celebrities were talking down on R. Kelly back when he got accused of allegedly keeping women in one of his apartments… I remember that Tank was one of them that made a "negative" post regarding R. Kelly. Now in 2023 they’re finally keeping it real and are giving R. Kelly his flowers!
I’ve learned from this interview that it’s ok to support people from afar and still not be ok with their actions. Respect what you respect they do best.
His confidence is sooooo attractive! Amazing storytelling, and captivating. I can listen to him speak alllllllllllll day! This was one of thee BEST episodes 🤗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👑
I saw Tank perform last night and his spirit was so beautiful. That man can really SANG... and LIVE at that. Tank stayed and performed for us until the very last minute that he could even after the show was over. I was so touched by that. I can tell that he is an empath and could feel the love in the room. We didn't want him to leave or for the show to end. He was also dropping gems for the men. I've always loved Tank and his artistry, how he connects with the people, but I found a new found respect for him last night.
Raphael Saadiq is an R&B OG who writes, produces and performs his own stuff and gets hired by others to write and produce for them as well. Not so much underrated, but needs to be more recognized more
In case anyone didn’t know, I’m 99.999% sure Tank was talking about Aaliyah’s uncle, and head of their record label, Barry Hankerson, when he said a man was keeping $700,000 from him that he was owed.
Tank is funny as hell 😂😂 he’s been in this game a long time we’ve seen him background singing to becoming who is today. I’m proud of him and he deserves so much more.
I love the respect Tank gives R Kelly musically. I still listen to R Kelly and always say he’s the best. Forget the outside stuff, you can’t not listen to him and say he’s the best.
Outside of the sex crime stuff, I never thought R Kelly music was that great . Stevie Wonder is the Best . Marvin Gaye's was better. Micheal Jackson was better . Luther was better .
“the outside stuff” oh you mean the sexual assault of young underage girls ? you listen to his music and somehow separate the child molester from the music he was making while molesting children? fuck R Kelly
There's absolutely no way that I can look into my rnb DNA and strip away jodeci, new edition, r. Kelly and Brian McKnight....now that deserved an applause 👏 🙌
I love Nore! He is geniune and you can tell he really respects all the guests on the show. And EFN. Tank made me respect him even the more. I didn't realize how much he put into this music game. He deserves to be more celebrated.
Knew he was an amazing singer/song writer. Had no clue Tank was such a beautiful conversationalist. Now, Tank…pass the torch by starting a Podcast for R&B! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Ye, I don't know one tank song. I would just time him out. However, now I just may dip into his catalog and give him a try. Now I see he has something going on in that head of his. 🏆
Tank single-handedly made me a fan of his when he started R& B Money, with J Valentine. He is so well deserving of all the continued blessings that come his way. He epitomizes a real man, exuding always, a selflessness raw, honest, and genuine perspective. Got to love this man!.
"Sometimes we're chasing things we already have" I really respect NORE for that man cause Tank is that dude. A lot of Rnb dudes cut out of Rnb cause Rap is mainstream but Tank is Rnb soul to the core.
NORE's remarks starting at 2:47:00, where he says "I'm hearing a bit of you fighting for something that's already given to you" shows how insightful he really is. I hope Tank can really marinate on those words and I'm glad NORE decided to say that out loud not only for Tank but also for the viewers. That was very big and kind of him to say.
This is such a REAL interview. Tank is immensely talented. I've been a fan for a long time. I appreciate his musical ability even more after this interview.
N.OR.E. has a really good soul/spirit too. He does so well giving people their flowers, but I hope he knows how significant he is to it (us) all, as well. He is really in his element right now.
I agree! A few years ago on social media, some artists / celebrities were talking down on R. Kelly back when he got accused of allegedly keeping women in one of his apartments… I remember that Tank was one of them that made a "negative" post regarding R. Kelly. Now in 2023 they’re finally keeping it real and giving R. Kelly his flowers!
Tank needed his flowers 💐 he deserved this‼️ it was so refreshing listening to him. He made me smile so many times. & he age like fine 🍷 wine he gets better with time.
This is the interview I never knew I needed. Tank took us all to R&B school and why RKelly the artist is the king of R&B music. Also how to pay your dues in your journey to success. 😎🙌🏿🔥🔥🔥
Tank is really telling the truth when it comes to writing singing and producing and being number one on the chart in his era he does that and he did that. Y'all got to put some respect on tank name.
Listen, this was one of the best episodes EVER! Tank, you are the realist with it and I appreciate you for that! You are loved by your fans always!!!!!!
As a straight woman who finds tank extremely attractive for numbers reasons, hearing him speak on the pride event makes him even more attractive and more of a man's man. Salute to you for leading with love.
❤️🔥🔥This was a really good interview. Tank gave some gems in this. @1:27:52 "Our violence isn't the threat, our love is." Loved this interview. Great job guys!!
I have never watched Drink Champs but this is a fabulous interview! Tank is an intelligent man who really is confident in himself and his talent. His experience and wise words could benefit today's young artist. Great podcast!
Man. I just listened to the TGT album today and trust me I went and bought the album as soon as it was released in my area. When I tell you that I'm so hurt knowing the fact that the Three Kings album was so damn fire and they just fell apart hurts me til this day. I was ready for TGT2 and 9 years later I'm still upset that they didn't make another album. 3 of my favorite artist came together and made Magic. That album is timeless.
1:39:45 he's talking about Barry Hankerson and how his albums under Blackground Records were not available for sale for many years until recently. Barry did that same promo stunt with R Kelly. Pocketing the money promoters were paying to book them and telling the artist its a promo show meaning they don't get paid but it's an opportunity for them to promote their album....
@@dcarr2506 A closet what??? Don’t disrespect the Man he’s been out before it was Internet.. Everyone don’t wanna know about who he likes in his bedroom.. I just like his voice when he sings even tho it’s sexual songs I don’t think about “Tank” when I’m listening to it an wondering if he likes me or not .. that’s unrealistic.. keeep people sexuality behind closed doors if your not Fuking them don’t worry about what they like….
This interview makes me wish D'Angelo didn't take a huge break after "Voodoo". He would have eclipsed RKelly imo as far as who wrote, produced, performed and sung the record. Tank is a a legendary act. This was one of the best interviews. Need more r&b legends from that era DAngelo story needs to be heard
I REALLY enjoyed this interview! Tank’s personality had me wrapped 🥰 up the whole interview. Tank is hilarious first off down to earth and just seems like such a genuine person the vocals and eye candy 😍was definitely a PLUS! I love how he’s giving other artist their flowers 🌹🌹🌹 as he’s being honored 💯. I would love to see him work with some of the ladies more H.E.R,SZA Jazmin Sullivan Summer Walker etc. and when he told NORE “clap nxgga!” I fell out 🤣🤣🤣
Lissen I have gone down this Tank rabbit hole and don't want to come up for air. Such a big personality..funny, well spoken and real. He is very entertaining
I will forever Stan for Aaliyah. Because of Aaliyah I learned of Tank back in the day. Loved their work relationship, huge fan of Tank musically. Glad he’s finally gettin the recognition and love how he always gives Aaliyah her props for her music ear despite her being one of the posthumous underdogs!
@@wwenewyork7570 you couldn’t possibly be a fan of Aaliyah if you don’t believe she hasn’t been properly recognized musically by her peers and the music industry. So much body of her work hasn’t been properly honored and she hasn’t received half of the praise some of the artist who came out during the same time as her has. But if you believe she has been treated just as fair, go off!
@@tokblast umm yeah she hasn’t got all the Praise she needs but I wouldn’t call her no underdog. Aaliyah is HIGHLY respected in the industry and people ALWAYS talking about her. You tripping
@@tokblast the industry do be tripping a lil bit when it comes to her but then not really, they gave her the titles QUEEN OF URBAN POP & PRINCESS OF R&B!
@@wwenewyork7570 being respected and spoken HIGHLY of doesn’t equate to not being a underdog. Two totally different things. So again, if you feel as a fan of hers that she isn’t an underdog, that’s cool. We see things differently and if that defines me as tripping than I will continue to trip!
When Tank said, "our violence isn't the threat, our love is".....got chills because that is absolute FAAAAACTS!!!!
EPIC QUOTE INDEED….”our violence isn’t the threat OUR (BLACK) LOVE is” ASE
By far, one of the MOST underrated statements EVER!!! This is the problem, the goal is to sow instability in our community. If I love you brother....I can come to you and DISCUSS (!!!!!) an issue before I start ish, with you!!

The reason I searched for this video.
Tank tells stories so good that NORE didn’t even have a chance to talk over him!
😂😂
First time ever lol
Big facts 💯
True, but Irv Gotti might gotem.
For real lol. Every artist need to be like tank and keep nore humble lmao
This interview deserves an Oscar. Tank is a LEGEND....
Yesss ! I love his mind
Yeah this was 1 of the greatest drink Champs interviews ever! Not up for debate!
He controlled that interview with such ease & poise ❤
NORE was drunk and hell and that made it even more entertaining. This was awesome.
@55:44 I do kinda get where Tank is coming from. NE set a standard during his lifetime that was duplicated by many. But, who inspired NE? Say what you will about Little Richard, but he was correct, the originators aren’t acknowledged.
@@musiclove5935 True. Alot of them aren't credited out loud but you do see the influence in older artists who followed their blueprint.
I’m late to this interview. The most powerful thing Tank shared was, “Black male R & B singers talking about love, pouring into your children and loving your woman is the threat”. In heavy rotation is negative music, not music that brings families together. Right on Tank!!!!
Black Love Is A Threat!!!!!!!! PERIOD….
When he said that, immediately hit!!!
FACTS💪🏾💪🏾
I am here today.
@@PastorBlessed1. Mkkk
I think we need Jamie Foxx on Drink Champs I can imagine the stories.
Definitely agree!!!
Damn. That would really be dope because this guy is naturally funny and has unlimited stories 😂

I was laughing out loud all by myself life a mad man.
Yeah he’s an amazing story teller
I agree😁
“Our violence isn’t the threat, our love is.” 28:00 I literally typed this up, framed it, and hung it up at my office as a reminder to my clients. Thank you for this Tank 😊
Awesome I need that for real
He’s right tho cause he remade a white girl song I can’t make you love me and her song went mainstream and his barley did his version is way better
THAT WAS A SHOT AT 'WHITE SUPREMACY' ... THEY RATHER SEE US HATE THAN LOVE.
Yea it’s just one of those things when jealousy comes in but what ever gotta regulate
I felt this
This is one of the BEST interviews on DC. I didn’t expect this interview to be so dope, funny, honest, and with jewels being dropped. I look at Tank with so much more respect as a artist and a person. Thank you guys for this!

@@qlm_gaming3614 great joke fam. Very witty. Here’s some of that attention you were seeking ✊🏽

This was one of the best drink champs
I was!! Go watch his Hollywood Unlocked interview with Jason Lee it was sooooo funny! It’s old but it’s so good lol
Tank is a great storyteller. He speaks like preacher or poet
That’s that church in him.
Tank and Jamie Foxx are the ultimate storytellers! This was such an entertaining, insightful, funny, and authentic interview! I LOVE me some Tank too 😍

This is hands down one of the best drink champs!! Tank needs his own show. He is very entertaining just by authentically being himself. He's an awesome story teller

So true
JOE is a guy who writes and produces his own record and doesn't get a lot of recognition as well. He has been doing it for a long time and super underrated. Fire interview though one of the best ones by far.
I truly agree, I'm a huge Joe fan and he is so underrated to me as a songwriter and producer. Jon B is another one too.
YESSSSS Joe is super underrated!! that's that grown folk kinda music pure talent
Joe produces maybe 30% and not at rate Tank does. He ain’t messing wit Tank.
@@Hi_Its_Me_Taiyep !

Tank is sounding like a preacher. I have never watched a Tank interview but this has got to be one of my favorites. Who would have thought Nore and Tank would bounce off one another so well.
Totally Agree💯 !
Tank come out the church he's bad on the hamon organ
Omg he does, I literally just told my sister this, he needs to go on and surrender to the call, let the Lord use him.
Because they are good conversationalist, some ppl are socially awkward or are in character they don’t have the natural charisma
"The R&B universe, needs TGT" That's some real ishh. We need R&B that's hits the soul...and show generations what's it's missed and need.
This interview was amazing! Tank is real and down to earth. He is a real one for real! Thank you N.O.R.E and DJ EFN. You both are appreciated for all you do.
Tank lectures with a smile, the drinking didn't hinder his message. That's a legend.

Tank is funny as hell 😂😂 he’s been in this game a long time we’ve seen him background singing to becoming who is today. I’m proud of him and he deserves so much more.
💯
Tank…The singer, the writer, the producer, the performer, the thespian…The realist! Well done Tank…well done!
Well said
I love the respect Tank gives R Kelly musically. I still listen to R Kelly and always say he’s the best. Forget the outside stuff, you can’t not listen to him and say he’s the best.
Respect
Outside of the sex crime stuff, I never thought R Kelly music was that great . Stevie Wonder is the Best . Marvin Gaye's was better. Micheal Jackson was better . Luther was better .
simple as that
“the outside stuff” oh you mean the sexual assault of young underage girls ? you listen to his music and somehow separate the child molester from the music he was making while molesting children? fuck R Kelly
Agreed
I had never seen Tank like this before. This interview will go down as one of the best ever I have seen across all podcasts. Tank is RnB music.
There's absolutely no way that I can look into my rnb DNA and strip away jodeci, new edition, r. Kelly and Brian McKnight....now that deserved an applause 👏 🙌
That is for Real especially R.Kelly the king of R&B I don't want to hurt nobody!!!
I don't understand how anyone would or just could, it's just music.
💯 factzzzzz
@@lateshiachilds3640 Just Music ? No, music is powerful it sets tones and changes moods
This was definitely one of my favourite drink champs interviews. Tank's energy is everything! 😊
Easily one of the best interviews. Never really watched a full interview with Tank. Pure brilliance.
I didn’t realize how freaking intelligent and articulate Tank is … wow
That's what I'm talking about. Dude is brilliant
That cap goatism
Tank is low key hilarious! Loved this interview
This is by far their best interview. The authenticity of this interview is unmatched. 2:46:06 solidifies it. Big shout to Tank.
I love Nore! He is geniune and you can tell he really respects all the guests on the show. And EFN. Tank made me respect him even the more. I didn't realize how much he put into this music game. He deserves to be more celebrated.

I am so glad Tank got his flowers. He deserves so much more.
Tank is a top tier story teller like Jamie Foxx. Every interview I've ever saw of him has me laughing my ass off.
Knew he was an amazing singer/song writer. Had no clue Tank was such a beautiful conversationalist. Now, Tank…pass the torch by starting a Podcast for R&B! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
He currently has a podcast on Spotify and to my understanding he is going to incorporate more R&B stuff🤗💯💫💥💫💫
Dope shit for real Carpe 👌
So glad Tank gave Kellz his RESPECT as an Artist 💯 "NOW THAT'S A REAL MAN TALKING"
When he said “at what” - talking about the Game - I died laughing. Love Tank!
I spit my water out I laughed so hard...😂😅 His comedic timing is nice....
I hollered!
Tank is a master storyteller.
Tank is a great conversationalist
Truly enjoyed this 👌🏾
Ye, I don't know one tank song. I would just time him out. However, now I just may dip into his catalog and give him a try. Now I see he has something going on in that head of his. 🏆
*TUNE ...I would just tune him out.
This only opens doors for other great RB singers! Good interview Tank, let's hear it for Drink Champs!
Tank single-handedly made me a fan of his when he started R& B Money, with J Valentine. He is so well deserving of all the continued blessings that come his way. He epitomizes a real man, exuding always, a selflessness raw, honest, and genuine perspective. Got to love this man!.
"Sometimes we're chasing things we already have"
I really respect NORE for that man cause Tank is that dude. A lot of Rnb dudes cut out of Rnb cause Rap is mainstream but Tank is Rnb soul to the core.
Tank is hands down a pure class act. Loved this !!!!
NORE's remarks starting at 2:47:00, where he says "I'm hearing a bit of you fighting for something that's already given to you" shows how insightful he really is. I hope Tank can really marinate on those words and I'm glad NORE decided to say that out loud not only for Tank but also for the viewers. That was very big and kind of him to say.
🎯
Yes 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Very well said..
@@pillowjones Thank you!
This is such a REAL interview. Tank is immensely talented. I've been a fan for a long time. I appreciate his musical ability even more after this interview.
I hollered so loud too many times during this interview. Tank is most definitely a PK. Pastor Tank. This dude is everything 🥰
N.OR.E. has a really good soul/spirit too. He does so well giving people their flowers, but I hope he knows how significant he is to it (us) all, as well. He is really in his element right now.
Speaking of R&B you know who else does R&B and has worked with Aaliyah that should be on Drink Champs...#MissyElliott
I agree
They keep saying they want her on
She doesn’t like doing interviews
They need to do queen latifah also
I mean they’re both from the violator umbrella… she’s the goat.. i don’t see the hold up
One of the best interviews ever!! I love his realness and the fact that he gave R. Kelly the respect he deserves thank u Tank... One Love Brother .
I agree!
A few years ago on social media, some artists / celebrities were talking down on R. Kelly back when he got accused of allegedly keeping women in one of his apartments…
I remember that Tank was one of them that made a "negative" post regarding R. Kelly.
Now in 2023 they’re finally keeping it real and giving R. Kelly his flowers!
Tank needed his flowers 💐 he deserved this‼️ it was so refreshing listening to him. He made me smile so many times. & he age like fine 🍷 wine he gets better with time.
Honestly, Tank is funny af. This was dramatic and entertaining 🤣
Dramatic asf
This was a DOPE ass interview!!!! We need MORE R&B. singer's on Drink Champs!!! I love this shit NORE and EFN🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
Usher up next 😎
Def agree more R&B singers
Yes I agree
Definitely Trey Songz
2:42:17 I love how Tank talked about Aaliyah! ❤️ 🕊️
Thanks! I was scrolling for the timestamp😂❤
@ You’re welcome! 😁
Wasn’t ready for the emotional moment with Aaliyah conversation. Best interview on here ever!
What's the number
@@christopherayettey4390 ?
Time stamp
Oh my bad, like 8:36. Probably too late now?
@@MrsJones-oj3cp yeah seen it now lol thanks though
This is the interview I never knew I needed. Tank took us all to R&B school and why RKelly the artist is the king of R&B music. Also how to pay your dues in your journey to success. 😎🙌🏿🔥🔥🔥
You didn’t need it.
Tank is really telling the truth when it comes to writing singing and producing and being number one on the chart in his era he does that and he did that. Y'all got to put some respect on tank name.
The Dream?😮😏
@@eidnaspelia Dream Dreammmm no ma’am the dream ain’t droppin panties like Tank 😂😂
Tank’s sense of humor should have a fan base of its own cause this nigga funny AF!
Listen, this was one of the best episodes EVER! Tank, you are the realist with it and I appreciate you for that! You are loved by your fans always!!!!!!
I love how Tank gave R.Kelly his flowers. He’s the king of R&B
💯
💯
Cannot be denied
As a straight woman who finds tank extremely attractive for numbers reasons, hearing him speak on the pride event makes him even more attractive and more of a man's man. Salute to you for leading with love.
Agreed💯
@727kj 👌🏽👌🏽That was very well said 👏🏼
🎶 👑💪🏿💜💜💜
@@kennishaestes3610 thanks queen
Tank just went to another level with the eloquent speaking; his speaking Spanish; and his passion.
Tank definitely has been called to preach. you can feel it and see it! Multi talented brotha since way back when!!! Much respect
Excellent point. Jesus given gifts overflowing in Tank.
Normally I don't watch a podcast this long but Tank was straight up real plus funny 🤣. That story about R Kelly tickling him was hilarious 😂
By far the most entertaining drink champs interview so far. I wasn’t expecting to laugh so much 😂
Top 5 the Pusha interview was another great one
ua-cam.com/video/Yy4UH1TbpQQ/v-deo.html
Tank is that MAN! He's amazing and this episode gave what needed to be given!!!!
This is one of the dopest interviews I've listened to in a very long time! Cheers to Tank for all the gems
❤️🔥🔥This was a really good interview. Tank gave some gems in this. @1:27:52 "Our violence isn't the threat, our love is." Loved this interview. Great job guys!!
Ne-Yo
I have never watched Drink Champs but this is a fabulous interview! Tank is an intelligent man who really is confident in himself and his talent. His experience and wise words could benefit today's young artist. Great podcast!
Man. I just listened to the TGT album today and trust me I went and bought the album as soon as it was released in my area. When I tell you that I'm so hurt knowing the fact that the Three Kings album was so damn fire and they just fell apart hurts me til this day. I was ready for TGT2 and 9 years later I'm still upset that they didn't make another album. 3 of my favorite artist came together and made Magic. That album is timeless.
1:39:45 he's talking about Barry Hankerson and how his albums under Blackground Records were not available for sale for many years until recently. Barry did that same promo stunt with R Kelly. Pocketing the money promoters were paying to book them and telling the artist its a promo show meaning they don't get paid but it's an opportunity for them to promote their album....
Wow enslavement ONLY. Worded differently...
Tank is a legend .. I can’t believe I just started getting to know him in my 30s I been listening to his music for years
Tank is a closet... Nevermind.
Wow well damn 😕
@@dcarr2506 A closet what??? Don’t disrespect the Man he’s been out before it was Internet.. Everyone don’t wanna know about who he likes in his bedroom.. I just like his voice when he sings even tho it’s sexual songs I don’t think about “Tank” when I’m listening to it an wondering if he likes me or not .. that’s unrealistic.. keeep people sexuality behind closed doors if your not Fuking them don’t worry about what they like….
This interview makes me wish D'Angelo didn't take a huge break after "Voodoo". He would have eclipsed RKelly imo as far as who wrote, produced, performed and sung the record. Tank is a a legendary act. This was one of the best interviews. Need more r&b legends from that era DAngelo story needs to be heard
@@Bunnii90Whoa. Easy cowboy! I said what I said and so did he. Unprovoked in a interview this cat mentioned men with men. I'd have never known.
I like how Tank didn't let Nore over talk or cut him off when he was making a point or telling a story.
I REALLY enjoyed this interview! Tank’s personality had me wrapped 🥰 up the whole interview. Tank is hilarious first off down to earth and just seems like such a genuine person the vocals and eye candy 😍was definitely a PLUS! I love how he’s giving other artist their flowers 🌹🌹🌹 as he’s being honored 💯. I would love to see him work with some of the ladies more H.E.R,SZA Jazmin Sullivan Summer Walker etc. and when he told NORE “clap nxgga!” I fell out 🤣🤣🤣
Lissen I have gone down this Tank rabbit hole and don't want to come up for air. Such a big personality..funny, well spoken and real. He is very entertaining
You wanna do the nasty with him huh?
I will forever Stan for Aaliyah. Because of Aaliyah I learned of Tank back in the day. Loved their work relationship, huge fan of Tank musically. Glad he’s finally gettin the recognition and love how he always gives Aaliyah her props for her music ear despite her being one of the posthumous underdogs!
Aaliyah Is no where near an underdog you tripping
@@wwenewyork7570 you couldn’t possibly be a fan of Aaliyah if you don’t believe she hasn’t been properly recognized musically by her peers and the music industry. So much body of her work hasn’t been properly honored and she hasn’t received half of the praise some of the artist who came out during the same time as her has. But if you believe she has been treated just as fair, go off!
@@tokblast umm yeah she hasn’t got all the Praise she needs but I wouldn’t call her no underdog. Aaliyah is HIGHLY respected in the industry and people ALWAYS talking about her. You tripping
@@tokblast the industry do be tripping a lil bit when it comes to her but then not really, they gave her the titles QUEEN OF URBAN POP & PRINCESS OF R&B!
@@wwenewyork7570 being respected and spoken HIGHLY of doesn’t equate to not being a underdog. Two totally different things. So again, if you feel as a fan of hers that she isn’t an underdog, that’s cool. We see things differently and if that defines me as tripping than I will continue to trip!
Tank tells stories how Teddy Riley tells stories…AMAZING!!! It makes sense that songwriters would be great storytellers
Bruh Tank had me full of energy in this interview. Much respect to this brotha and this positive energy and his infectious spirit
‘Clap, nigga!!!!’ 😂😂 Great interview from start to finish. He’s a storyteller and a great one at that! ‘Nothing On,’ my favorite Tank joint 💯
That’s one of the best songs he wrote. He slowed it down down
