Tank Clarifies His Stance Regarding Yung Bleu

AllHipHop spoke with Tank before his performance at Famelive’s event at the Globe Theater in downtown Los Angeles, which kicked off LA Fashion Week. Tank clarified his position regarding the tweet Yung Bleu made proclaiming himself to be King R&B.

The “Please Don’t Go” singer is familiar with Yung Bleu’s work. Therefore, he had nothing but kind words to say about him.

“Oh yeah, I know him. I have his number, so I support him,” Tank told AllHipHop. “Listen, and even after the exchange, I have no ill will toward the kid. I still love his music. His song came on the radio today, and I turned him up.” 

The song he heard was Yung Bleu’s collaboration with 2 Chainz and Chris Brown, “Baddest,” and “Collaborative Lies,” featuring Kehlani.

Tank continues,

“I love anybody, especially my young, Black kids that are being successful, that are not in the hood doing no dumb s###.”

New Album Coming

Tank is preparing to release his new album, “R&B Money,” in terms of his own music. Furthermore, he is undertaking a headlining tour to promote the project. A fan favorite, “I Deserve,” will also be celebrated as his No. 1 record.

Tank’s love for fashion was evident before he hit the stage when he sported a Mastermind top with Bottega jeans and a YSL shirt.

#HipHop4Her: A Real Life “Friends” Situation

During college they say we meet our lifelong friends and I believe that’s true even though it may take a while for them to appear. I believe I have met my lifelong friends and was fortunate enough to live with a majority of them for an academic school year. I lived with four of my girlfriends my senior year of college and I must say it was a lot of good times and quite a few bad times.

We got to see the bad sides of one another as well as share and celebrate the good times. But overall I would not regret living with my friends; I would do it all over again if I were able to. It was a good experience because we all learned about each other a little more. It opened our eyes to the type of people we are and the type of friends we are to each other. I had opportunities to get to know some of my friends more than I ever did and relate to them more than ever.

Buzz Feed had a great list of what happens when you live with your friends, and it reminded me of my situation.

However! Being that there was so much estrogen, PMS, and relationship issues in the house getting to us our attitudes conflicted with one another. This is how we learned to deal with each other accordingly; we knew when one of us had an attitude, when someone needed a shoulder, or a shirt to borrow. What I learned about my friends and myself is that we may not always like each other or want to laugh with one another but at the end of the day we still care for one another.

Even when we got into a big argument at the end of the school year, feelings were hurt, and some left that argument more guarded. But we remained friends because we saw more than a friendship. We saw a sisterhood and the ability for us to overcome this issue. I saw us living together as a lesson. I am glad I had that opportunity because I will forever remember us partying and laughing together, more than I will remember the issues. I think that’s what’s most important.

#HipHop4Her: Friends Of The Boyfriend

When two people come together, it’s like two worlds become one complete one. His family becomes familiar with you and vice versa. Your friends tell you if they approve or not and his friends… well they don’t really put too much thought into it. Everything is fine, until you realize that his friends aren’t the best influence. The more you get to know them or just evaluate their behavior the less you begin to appreciate their company. How can you deal with the inappropriateness or their lack of maturity I should say?

It’s hard to just accept his friends when you have a good man, and his friends are bad influences. They aren’t exactly faithful to their girlfriends, their unfitting jokes, and just their lifestyle altogether frustrates you. I’m sure no woman would want these kinds of behaviors to rub off on their boyfriends. However, what can you say or do to help the situation?

As long as your boyfriend knows how his friends are and knows how to handle himself around them then it shouldn’t be so bad. It’s different if his demeanor changes when he goes from being with you to being with his boys. There should be no reason for him to switch his ways, even if it’s to impress his friends. Regardless, you should come first and he should always respect you and the relationship.

But if he does act different, put him in the doghouse and explain to him how you feel about his friends. Also bring up that he switches how he is with you compared to how he is with his friends. Although his behavior is expected to change, it shouldn’t be to the point where he’s acting single or embarrassing you. Since you can’t really make his friends vanish you have to find some way to make it easier for you to deal with them AND for you to trust your boyfriend with them.

#HipHop4Her: A Moment To Be Alone

Life grabs a hold of us and just doesn’t seem to let go. We’re in a whirlpool made of schoolwork, our careers, babies, boyfriends, family and we’re girls. Somehow women have a way of making time for it all and forget to have “me” time, not realizing how essential having time for ourselves can be. We all wish we could be at every place at one time because we don’t want to miss anything. Sometimes we have to drop everything and just take a moment to get to know ourselves. Since we forget to care for ourselves it’s easy to lose touch with fashion, makeup, hobbies, what we like and what we don’t like. It’s important to know who we are as a person.

There are some of us who can’t seem to stay away from what needs our attention. OR it could be that we are so attached to our men, careers, family and friends that it’s hard to disconnect. Yes, everyone will miss you but just go M.I.A for a day. Tell your man that you need a day of pampering and even try to make him pay for it. He’s probably the reason you need a day to yourself anyway. Go get your nails done, hair done, go shop, or splurge on an item you’ve been eyeing. I would even suggest looking for something new to try like yoga, an African dance class, or a cooking class. Just something or someplace where you can focus on yourself.

Stress is even more of a reason to take a day off from everything. We shouldn’t let life take a toll on us, because it does get hard, and then it becomes unbearable. But by taking an occasional time out, you can avoid the feeling of an overload. As much as we’d all love to pretend to be Wonder Woman and possess her awesome outfit and accessories, unfortunately we’re not. We become tired and the days wear us out. So do something that will benefit your well-being.

#HipHop4Her: Is Loneliness & Boredom Eating Away At You?

As women there is this inner urge to want to be in a relationship even when we’re not 100 percent ready. What exactly is eating away at us? It can be a numerous amount of things that causes women to continuously want to be in relationship after relationship. It could be that our golden years are coming to an end our internal clock is on its last grains of sand, the fact that all of our friends have become wives and mothers. We are lonely or bored.

While the other reasons can justify a woman’s dedication and push to find a man, fall in love, get married and make babies. Being lonely or bored just isn’t a good enough reason to be with someone. That’s exactly why you have good friends, who can assist you in experiencing life. Of course it’s easier to do all this with single friends, so it’s fine to go searching for friends who want the same as you do.

Not even as a woman, but as an individual, people need to take out that time to just enjoy you. Enjoy being alone, eat alone, sleep alone, go to a movie alone and travel alone. There is so much people can find out about himself or herself by just being alone. Learn what you hate, what you love, and what you like when you’re in the mood for it. If you don’t know yourself as a person, how can you expect for other people to know the true you. Saying that you would like to enter a relationship with someone due to the fact that you’re bored, is just saying you need a companion and nothing more. You’re not looking for substance a full on relationship, but a comrade.

Loneliness and Boredom can give off similar feelings. There’s the feeling of emptiness, the feeling that you’re missing some thing in the world. You’re missing out on being with someone because society makes it seem more fun to be in a relationship. There are other ways to treat boredom besides being in a relationship. Find something you actually enjoy doing, maybe not on a daily basis, but weekly. Loneliness can suck sometimes, but you have to stick it out until Mr. Right comes along.

#HipHop4Her: Are You Tired of Being a Pushover???

#HipHop4Her: Are You Tired of Being a Pushover???  | FM Hip Hop

 

Enough is Enough: Take a Stand against being a Pushover!

In a cruel world, it’s so hard to be nice to people. People often take kindness for weakness and that’s when they begin to take advantage of you. As women we’re more susceptible to being push overs and allowing people to walk all over us. In the beginning it goes unnoticed, but after a while it becomes over whelming, and you realize you’re tired of this person/people taking advantage of you. That’s when you say enough is enough.

Don’t be a Pushover!

It’s time to grow a backbone, stop allowing people to do whatever and say whatever they please. Re-evaluate yourself, if you noticed that you are not likely to say how you feel or defend yourself then people will continue to act the same way towards you. They will continue because they know you won’t say anything about it. An example would be friends constantly asking for favors because they know that you won’t say no to them. There’s nothing wrong with doing favors for friends but there has to be a limit of course.

Let’s Just be Honest!

Another way to know if you’re a pushover is if you say sorry, even if you did nothing wrong. What exactly are you saying sorry for? Many times people say sorry during three different occasions, when they’re genuinely sorry, when they don’t want people to be upset with them, or because the other person won’t wave their white flag. Don’t say sorry just for the heck of it, know why you’re saying sorry and acknowledge if you did something wrong. If you didn’t then don’t apologize when you don’t even mean it.

Never Settle for Less!

Don’t become a settling Sally, because you rather avoid confrontation. There’s absolutely now way to avoid confrontation your whole life. It’s bound to happen. It’s okay to disagree with your friends, family or lover. They should be able to live with the fact that you have your own opinion. You should be able to say how you feel when you feel it. Just because someone says one thing, and you say another doesn’t mean you just go along with the program to steer clear of a heated conversation. Speaking up will let others know that you’re not a doormat, and you actually have a say-so.
