Sex Sells - I think I’ve been able to sell a couple more units because of my “sex symbol” status. But I’m really an idiot and I don’t think people know that about me. I know how to talk the talk, do the melody and put the beat to it, but sexy to me is just having fun and being comfortable.

Slick Talk - It’s not always about licking your lips and being like, ‘What’s up with you, girl?’ I don’t like all that, it's corny. I’m silly. That’s how I used to get my girls back in the day. I was like, ‘If I can make her laugh, she’ll be my girlfriend.’

The Love Below - Hmm, briefs or boxers? It’s kind of both, depending on the situation. But I don’t wear the cheap, dope boy boxers because they chafe your skin. You gotta keep your skin smooth.

One Night Only - I’ve had a female fan come up to me and say, 'You're lucky I'm married or I would (insert explicit description here).' Then say, ‘You know what, I am married, but so what! Can we screw tonight?’ That's not my really my style.

Ignore = Adore - If I’m doing a show and there’s a gang of women screaming, ‘Tank! Oh my God!’ and there’s one woman that’s not really trippin’ and she’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, he was good’, that’s the one I like. I have to figure out how to make her like me. I just sang four songs and an interlude! She’s supposed to be all over me! So, yeah, I go for the challenge.

Say Something, Baby - I like a woman who engages, a woman with confidence that just doesn’t have a problem saying anything to me. Like, ‘What’s happening, playa?’ I like a woman that can approach me because I am approachable.

Favorite Song - My favorite song on the album is actually the Bonnie Raitt cover, “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” The message is basically in the title. ‘I can’t make you love me. I’ve tried and done everything I can.’ I shot a video for it and Keshia Knight Pulliam is in it.

Keep It in the Family - I do let my kids listen to my music. Kids learn more on the playground than you could imagine. It’s better that they hear it from you and hear it the right way, than to learn it on some street corner. That’s my philosophy.

My Style - I’m a t-shirt and jeans kind of dude—very simple. This watch I have on I got for free at the Grammy's gifting suite and that’s the reason why I have it. I’m not into all of the chains and flashy jewelry.
