Tank Disappointed People Aren’t Supporting His Music: Maybe I should have been born white.
Tank goes on to say that perhaps race plays a factor in the success of his musical career:
Maybe I should have been born white then all of my music would go straight to mainstream and pop radio instead of urban ac.. A format that continues to kill the true R&B artist! (Not mad at white artist just to be clear!) 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! #letterfromaking
What are your thoughts — do you understand his frustration or or should he be grateful on his success thus far in the industry?

I feel where Tank is coming from. It’s hard getting people to support what you put your heart and soul into. His first single “You’re My Star” I supported it HEAVY when I had my radio show. Even then people were telling me to not play it because they didn’t like it. Tank is too talented to stop making music BUT his musical roots did begin with gospel music so maybe he should return to his roots by writing and producing and maybe making several appearances on songs here and there. I will take this piece and submit it to him to give him an idea of where he can go. Quitting is not an option especially when you’re blessed with a God given talent.
His race certainly does not affect his ability to sell music. He is another one who uses the race card when it’s convenient for him.
To add – after a while “the fans” will no longer support those who when convenient “bite” the hands who feed you & your family.
Maybe sometimes in life you should watch what you send out.Because you may not like what you get back.
Tank is just now realizing that he is transitioning to the “Has Been” stage. So it’s time to take the reality tv show path. lol But really, no one is looking for Tank, and if he wants someone too look for him, he needs to re-brand himself. Promote Promote Promote.
Yeah, the fact that he’s not white is the problem! Not that his music isnt as good, or he has said some pretty insulting things DIRECTLY to his fan base….. It’s because he’s black.
Idiot!
