*PLEASE GET BRANDY ON THIS PODCAST*. Never Say Never is greatness, but *FULL MOON* is extraordinary. As far as female R&B albums, gotta give praise to Secrets by Toni Braxton, Butterfly by Mariah (sort of a pop AND R&B space), and B’Day.

Tank if this is your last album brotha I just want to take the time and say this. Brother you have graced this industry with top notch grace and skills. Your vocal skills, writing ability and stage presence is that of a true R&B artist! Many counted you out but your true fan base never did! You don't just deserve the flowers but the whole damn garden! I just want to thank you for your contributions to music! You have blessed us for many years my brother! Thank you!

The black church is Apollo for many singers and musicians especially in the south because we’ve experienced the boos in when they say take your time to the cheers when you’re praised. But honestly I’ve always felt gospel music is the foundation of R&B Jazz Blues and Rock&Roll

[@gdeus1376]

You right it is. Especially in tanks case.

[@okaygworl]

Right! It’s also bc many couldn’t afford instruments but there were instruments at the church 👏🏾

[@themarcinag]

Yep, and all those genres start with the blues. Church is such a great proving ground.

Apollo was super dum and hypocritical. They never boo'd garbage celebrity artists

This episode was cool, but it’s odd not seeing my playa partna J. Valentine. 💯😫

[@liteeyes1882]

I completely agree that the lack of Artist Development is seriously missing from R&B!!!! You can definitely see it in the younger artists who desperately need it, they have NO STAGE PRESENCE & breath control when performing!!!! That's why so many of the seasoned performers have lasted so long because they know how to perform live & work the stage!!!!

[@thomasjones6154]

Hopefully y’all can get Chris Breezy on here, maybe T Pain. This Podcast is dope as hell!!!

[@Sounzgudd]

Tank is RnB personified. He clearly loves and respects the art and has the musical ability. I feel for him you can literally feel the weight of it on his shoulders like he really aint done yet. Whew!

[@RiRiTheGr8test]

I just love everything about this podcast and everything about this man as an artist! Seeing the way he loves and respects the women in his life allows you to appreciate him even more! “Relationship,” is such an integral part of r & b. The connection this man shares with his fans is like a “chef’s kiss.” He “gets” it! The respect and appreciation he has for gospel artists lets you know his ear is top notch! That’s where it all begins. When you hear the people he names, you can’t help but to know why his “ear” and voice is so impeccable. Every artist he names, gospel and r&b is absolutely amazing!…Miss Diddy is correct as well, his humility is what “keeps” him. So many artists have lost the humility aspect of being an entertainer. I love watching but I lose myself in the comment section because there’s so much to say and I can never get it out because he always displays so much love for other artists. Tank should have been on somebody’s “panel” a long time ago, i.e. “The Voice,” “American Idol,” “The Four,” “Sunday’s Best,” I mean his ear is unmatched. And I would absolutely love to hear this man on the organ…I just can’t say enough about this man as a personality and an artist. Tank is the epitome of r & b, r & b personified, if you will. R & B Money is a incredible name for the label! I can’t wait to hear the artists he develops and releases. I can’t wait to get my R & B Money merch!!!…okay, I’ma stop cause I could just go on and on. Shout out to the way this man loves his wife - “look at my ring and look at your ring.” Miss Diddy has the honor of representing such a humble artist as well because this man would have the right to have the “big head,” but the fact that he remains so humble just makes it that much better! This podcast has been a saving grace during this time in music where music appreciation seems like such a lost subject or lost “art.” Thankful for this. Always looking forward to the next episode. And shout out to the chat during the premieres, I truly enjoy chatting with the other fans, we appreciate you Tank. You make it easy to be a fan 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Until the next time, 🥰🥰🥰 And, shout out to “Babbs To The Bone,” I loved watching y’all as a family; they say black families don’t really exist but you’ve definitely proven that to be untrue. Love seeing Tank and Zena together ❤! I would love to see new episodes of Babbs To The Bone!”

[@bernardrichardson7621]

I saw someone wrote in a comment somewhere that Tank should just do singles & not do albums anymore since they take up so much time to put together! I think that is a good idea because if you are a creative force & if you have audience that still loves your music but they want to hear stuff from you instead of always having to go to your catalog every single time but nothing recent sung by him! I say build your label & do your other projects but don’t put the gift that God gave you & put it up on the shelf! Tank should just record his music organically-(like put out singles & no albums no matter how much people want another album, just do singles) This still allows Tank time to do all other things that he wants to do without having to record another project & all that entails!

[@Ashley08888]

I agree! Tank need to be putting put Music like Ron Isley, Ron is 80+ and singing he's the 🔌, in 2022! -come 2050, imma need a Tank record.

[@angieyoungblood7799]

Thank you Tank for this podcast, your wife is right! all you need is the stand, the mic, the piano, and singing. I saw you at the V Saban theater and loved the show. Tank, you called out Luke James to the stage, and man! he can sing his ass off, he doesn't get enough credit. I love to see you, Luke, Eric Benet, Maxell, J Valentine, and Kenny Lattimore do a remake of the group UNV song something's going on, that would be awesome.

Day 26 was an amazing group that Diddy had! That group was one of the groups’ music that I remember when I started seeing my now husband. They’re music was the Shish! I wish they had worked out to last longer!

[@GregSchroederJr]

Tank is a true artist with an ABUNDANCE of talent. He reads the room and adjusts.. I was at a rather upscale event with predominantly older demographics attending, celebrating Jesse Jackson at the height of “When We”, and he very strategically, and comically, changed some of his set to keep their attention and not offend..

[@caliBornbEauty]

What I like to call growing up singing in the church is "the Gauntlet" It's your first stage. You learn to be prepared(forgetting words), working the crowd (stage presence), pitch and tone correction(vocal training), seeing your gift in action(confidence) and endurance for all those 3 : 30 services lol. When church folks can say you been singing since you were yay high... you have gone through the gauntlet. The best experience ever. I wish I had continued my pursuits... but I'll never forget my training in the Gauntlet.

[@Callmeharlowe]

A few things: 1) I’ve been waiting on this episode!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 2) The ladies did a great job with the conversation. 3) I missed J this episode! 4) Is it too late to talk to Bird Man? Lol Celebration is a BOP! Drake’s verse still is one of my favorite verses he’s done. We need a video! 4) Stronger the album was great, but I resonated MOSTLY with the last 4 tracks because of my own expectations of what a Tank album should be, not because it wasn’t good. (Or the dancing lol) 5) I understand why retiring is necessary in terms of time (especially after putting out so much music CONSISTENTLY between 2010 and now), but the fans will miss not having an album to look forward to in another year or two if retirement happens for real. We love you Tank! Your perseverance is commendable from being broke after charting, not being compensated the $700K, being willing to pivot as a writer/producer/background singer “in the meantime”, having the courage to create again, feeling underrated, losing your hearing, etc. It’s a very inspirational story! Whatever the next chapter is, I wish you the best 💛

[@keitae7290]

With watching this interview I feel a part 2 is needed with more back story on your upbringing etc as done when interviews are conducted with Tank and J Valentine toward their guests. Miss Diddy did a great job with asking questions and being so supportive as a fan even though she is friend a of his. When you are a phenomenal singer, song writer and a jack of all trades when it comes to R&B music (such as Tank is) being truly supportive and standing behind him every step of the way rather he makes the choice to retire or continue making albums is definitely the energy needed in your corner. My personal opinion I go off energy and vibes and you can truly see the passion in Tank when it comes to his craft and R&B music. I hope as a fan that feeling alone is reflected upon when the decision is made about his music career. Your flowers should be provided and celebrated everyday Tank as you touch so many lives with your music ❤

[@chocotaco1185]

This was awesome. As a day one fan I will say it is such a delight to see you get your flowers. And from none other than Mrs Dabbs. The ladies did a great job. Anita Baker saying we need you just solidifies how important you are to the industry and the impact you have made. Let me tell you i just knew i was gonna have a kid per album. Because them songs baby..... I have 2 fond memories. When i was 16 I met you whike working at checkers and my co worker decided to sing slowly to you through the drive thru window. I'm 36 and I still have that autograph. And when you came back to the DMV for a tour the redskins were playing and you kept us updated with the score during the show lol. While it is sad knowing this will be the last album there is joy in knowing that you plan to pass on those tools and give us more greatness. Taking the time to develop new real artist. I can't wait to see where your next Journey takes you. I know some dope music, real R&B is in the works. Can't wait for the final tour. May God continue to bless you and your family. Again Thank You for sharing your gifts with us all.
