With a title like “Sex Never Felt Better,” you would think the video was going to be a Not Safe For Work type of situation, but in the video for the TGT single, Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank keep it PG visually, and rated R with the lyrics. Directed by Matt Alonzo, the men can be seen in the video hitting the stage to perform the track for their “fans” (aka, extras) in all black leather as the crowd goes wild. Later in the clip, you also catch a backstage glimpse at the men preparing for the show, and after the fact, dressed to the nines in suits and having drinks with some lucky ladies.

I would have loved to see a little more skin from these men (sans Tyrese because his hot factor has fallen thanks to his mouth), but Tank indulged us with a quick ab shot. The supergroup dropped the track and video to promote their upcoming album, 3 Kings, coming out for the fans on July 23. I don’t know about you, but we were over here jamming to the song, which despite a few questionable lyrics (“I wanna swim in it all night long”) is a must. Check out the video for yourself and groove to the song and let us know if it’s a pass or play for you. Enjoy!

In a very clear nod to former girlfriend aka “the closest thing to a wife,” Tahiry, Joe Budden recently solicited the help of fellow artists to jump on his new single. The song, which sounds a lot like “I’m On One,” features fellow rappers Fabolous and Lil Wayne. R&B crooner Tank is singing on the hook. As much as I wanted to dislike the song, it wasn’t half bad. And I could see myself dancing to it if it makes its way to the club circuit.

Man! It’s no secret that there’s a severe lack of real R&B out these days. But R&B veterans, crooners Tank, Ginuwine and Tyrese are fastening their capes to swoop in and save the day. The trio, known as TGT, have collaborated on a new song called “Sex Ain’t Never Felt Better.” And it’s poppin’, in a seductive, rock your hips kind of way. I’ve always felt I shared a connection with Ginuwine since childhood, (We share a birthday.) so it was good to hear his voice again. Really, no one else sounds like him. And as much trash as Tyrese talks on Twitter, his vocals are still on point. Then for the final verse, Tank comes in with a serious falsetto. It took my ears a minute to adjust but it was pleasant once I settled in. All in all this is a great look for these guys and if this song is indicative of what’s to come, I’ll be more than happy to listen and support. The group, which formed in 2007, signed a deal with Atlantic Records this past September. They expect to release an album later this year.

There are few artists who survive changes in the music industry and can continue to stay relevant more than a decade after their first song is released.

Tank is one of those artists.

Maybe I Deserve from his first album is still probably one of his most popular songs, but he didn’t stop there. He’s also the songwriting pen behind many of our favorite R&B songs sang by artists including Aaliyah, Fantasia, Omarion, Tyrese, Jamie Foxx, Donnel Jones, Monica, and Kelly Rowland and he recently released his fifth studio album This Is How I Feel.

The singer known for his sultry voice is showing no signs of fading into oblivion. He recently sat down with RollingOut.com to talk about his career, what it’s like working with other R&B artists and, of course, the ladies. Here’s what he had to say about the five things that make every woman hot:

Confidence: It’s going to be in your walk, in your posture, how you hold out your hand to introduce yourself, how you hold your head high like a queen.

Take care of yourself: Having your feet and hands all nice and done up — and your hair. I don’t care if it’s your hair, I don’t care if it’s the horse’s hair, but as long as the hair is done and it’s taken care of, that’s Hot.

Your outfit: If your outfit is going to fit, let it fit. Show them what you got. And if it’s not going to fit, then let it flow and let it vibe.

Have some goals: Have some ambitions. Don’t let being pretty be your be-all [and] end-all. Actually, have some type of education or idea of what you want to accomplish.

Have a love for kids: I love a woman that loves kids. That’s Hot to me. I love a woman that’s nurturing, that’s ready to take care of and comfort [a child].

The singer definitely likes the ladies and has two kids from his ex-wife and two more kids from two other women. He’s been romantically linked to Kelly Rowland and Robin Givens, but is single at the moment.

You can check out the rest of the interview here and if you just can’t get enough of Tank, here is a video he made at RollingOut.com. What do you think about his list?

So last week, singer Tank completely clowned Brian McKnight for his musical request to let women allow him to show them how their p*ssy works. Specifically, he said:

“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. And then, I don’t condone the switch between Harvard and then a a bad version of a hood singer.”

But low and behold, five days later, Tank shows up on the scene selling his package through the Internet in a random twitpic/instagram/NSFW body-baring photo showing us all that he has to offer. And though part of me wants to say Thank ya Jesus, the other half is like wait, did you just pull a Brian McKnight? (sans vocals)

While Tank was trying to clown Brian for being 57 years old and desperate—when he’s really only 42—he’s not too far behind him pulling this stunt at 36. Blame Eddie Long for my aversion to men taking pics of themselves in the mirror scantily clad with iPhones and then posting them for the world to see, but this just rubs me the wrong way. Had it been a photo shoot, he’d have my approval 99 percent but you can’t knock another R&B singer in your same lane for a desperate attempt to boost female fans and then do the same thing—at nearly the same age.

I suppose since Tank already has some hood appeal he thinks he gets a pass for this antic but I’m thinking pass DENIED. Am I alone or is Tank foul for this?

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?

You know how you listen to a good love song and think, “why can’t all men be like him?” Well Tank is giving men a little heads up on that in an interview with Sister 2 Sister. He told brothers to at least “act like you mean every word that I say.”

While the singer was just joking about pretending, he did say men could learn a few things from slow jams.

“Guys have gotten out of being patient and taking their time and really setting the mood and creating the atmosphere conducive for a woman to be comfortable and be part of whatever you want her to be part of.”

Am I the only one who wanted to yell “preach!” after that line? Men just don’t get how easy it is to get us on board when they know how to cater to our senses. But I digress.

As you might have guessed from his songs, Tank definitely considers himself a romantic, and despite a failed marriage he’s very open to giving love another try.

“I love the idea of love,” he said. “The love that I found that is going to help me really make someone really happy is the love that I have for my daughters, and that’s real unconditional love.”

Swoon. Check out more of Tank’s interview—in a bathrobe no less—here. Thoughts ladies?

Smooth R&B singer Tank may be absent on the entertainment scene but his daughter is just making her debut. The ab-alicious artist’s 4-year-old daughter recently completed a photo shoot for the company Haute Headz as a model for their Cameo Queen collection of hair accessories.

Zoey Babbs’ looks show the company’s goal of bringing boldness and elegance back to hair accessories. In one set of prints, the young model rocks a more tomboyish look in a white tank, jeans, and sneakers, with a gold headpiece featuring a jeweled heart. In another set, a pink tutu and Hello Kitty sweater with a silver headpiece make her look more girly and playful.

One thing that’s clear is Zoey is not shy in front of the camera. At four she’s already got a big personality, plus she’s a cutie!

Check out more pics of Zoey’s photo shoot, including a pic with her mother, Zena, on The YBF.

Had you seen Tank’s little girl before? What do you think about the pieces she’s modeling?

Spring is in the air (or, it’s coming anyway) and that means it is time for new love. Well, okay…not that kind of love.  This time we’re talking about BROMANCES! For those of you who don’t know bromance is defined as a close, non-sexual relationship between two (or more) men. I know some of you might be thinking “Yeah, can’t happen…not cute” but it really can be fun to watch. Here are a few of our fave celeb bromances…
