Tank Clowns Brian McKnight’s ‘New Sound’

I think we all gave Brian McKnight the side-eye for his attempt at showing us how our p***y works (watch the video if you need a good laugh this morning), but Tank straight clowned the R&B singer during an appearance on Chicago’s The Morning Riot. When the hosts asked him what he thought about Brian’s latest musical attempt, Tank couldn’t even get past his hair.

“First of all, he’s got a Mohawk. Let’s start there. He’s 57 years old with a Mohawk. I don’t condone anybody over seven at this point with a Mohawk. The Mohawks have now become cute. [Background: It's for Willow Smith] And then, I don’t condone the switch between Harvard and then a a bad version of a hood singer.”

Tank then went on to mimic Brian’s “soft” voice and then they remixed the song all at 57-year-old, mohawk-wearing Brian McKnight’s expense for the next four minutes. Had Brian not clowned himself so bad with the song I think we’d just assume Tank was hating but this segment was great.

Check out the clip below and tell us what you think. Is Tank right?

    Truth is,Brian McKnight will be 43 in June. He looks so old though. Brian is ridiculous for making that video,he need to stick to singing love ballads that he is well known for.

    When is the last time tal did anything noteworthy in music. Second rate clown….i put this i the same category as Hammer doing adiss record aimed at Jay-z

  • Helado31

    This is coming from a man with multiple baby mommas who said that he wants to have 10 kids? Tank needs to shut up. Every time he speaks he makes black men look horrible. After that interview on Necole Bitchie I don’t understand why anyone interviews him. He has over 3 or 4 baby mothers and says that he wants more kids with different women. Loser. Smh. 

  • Yeah….OK

    BRIAN MCKNIGHT is 57!!!!!!!!!  Wow, I did not know that.  Even though I appreciate Tank for everything he’s done, I will always adore Mr. McKnight.

    Look here lizard-lizard, I’m sorry that people don’t give you the credit you deserve.  But thats no reason to try to ride on Brian’s shine.  He has paid is dues. So if you don’t like it cool, but don’t hate.

  • MIssK

    • Vee

    LOL That was funny. But I kinda suspect Brian McKnight did it all as a joke. At least that’s what I’m hoping, cuz that song was ridiculous. lol And he’s not 57, he’s about 40. But I see what Tank was saying.

    I tell ya my people sure know how to be crabs in a barrel.  who cares if brian is older and is trying a style switch.  support the man! DAMN! every chance we get it seems we love breaking each other down for no other reason than for a good laff and some twitter buzz.  smh

    • Vee

      No one is tearing down Brian McKnight but  seriously  a song that is something I would expect Chris Brown to do not Brian McKnight geesh.

  • Vee

    Brian McKnight probably wanted to do as song from his usual ballads but ugh….no I think he needs to stick his old formula and stay in his lane. BTW I don’t think Brian McKnight is 57. *off topic* Tank is fine  :)
