janetDAYZ Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Due to the album's low sales of Tank's latest album "Stronger" (which only sold a little over 16,000 its first week) Atlantic stopped all promotion for the album- including the release of what would have been the second single "Stronger". As a result, Tank went to Instagram recently to rant about his displeasure of the album's failure by blaming it on the fans. His rant included the statement “Maybe I should have been born white then all my music would go straight to mainstream" - referencing Sam Smith and Adele's success on urban radio. Tank also criticized the music industry, the lack of musicianship and whether he should continue doing rhythm and blues. He later concluded his rant by ending with the following statement:"What I do know is that i will not continue to be faithful to something or someone that is not being faithful to me. I love you but I have a family. I have a mom and dad just like you. I have goals and dreams just like you. I refuse to work hard for nothing. I look better, sing better, produce better, write better, and perform better than dam near everybody and this is the thanks I get?.. Again I’m not angry I’m just tired.. Please enjoy my last real R&B album “Stronger” cause you’ll never get another one!"billboard.com Edited September 29, 2015 by janetDAYZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laveaux Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Ms. Tank is just not that interesting. She never was. Chile might as well call it quits and get that UnSung check. I heard UPS is hiring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Who is Tank and was he ever popular And music changes.. Either change with it or get left behindIDK who this is.. but man.. Is he right !!!Either adapt to the new style of music or parish.. I'm shocked and mildly upset that he thinks he's such a GREAT musician.. As if he moves mountains with his music... As if he wasn't a flash-in-the-pan.

janetDAYZ Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Joe, Tank's vocals are not all that grand.,,his tone is cool but its get tired after a few listens. I dnt like how arrogant he came off..some ppl are meant to be behind the scenes.. he's a decent writer/producer .he started off as a background singer and his voice suits that tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Was he the one that got dragged for the state of his living room or something? Has he EVER been successful as a solo act for him to be mad at flopping? I feel for him but like...reality check please. He has some nice songs but his voice is a little whiny for my liking. I do love Throwback Love from him and My Heart though. He's fine though and I love his work with Aaliyah.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure you don't have him confused with Ginuwine?Joe, Tank's vocals are not all that grand.,,his tone is cool but its get tired after a few listens. I dnt like how arrogant he came off..some ppl are meant to be behind the scenes.. he's a decent writer/producer .he started off as a background singer and his voice suits that tbh I agree but I like his singing better than Tyrese's. Yeah he did come off way too arrogant but he's still a nice looking piece of chocolate and i'd take him over Ginuwine and Tyrese who I think is unattractive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetDAYZ Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Joe, Tank is not chocolate lol this is the first im hearing someone calling him chocolate. Taye Diggs,Morris Chestnut,Tyrese,etc are considered "chocolate" men.. Not Tank, no one refers to him that way cus he is not considered "chocolate" in our community..and clearly u can see why if u darkskin...u darkskin, we're not technical about the diff shades of dark.
