1) Tank (stylized as … Read Full Bio ↴There are mutliple artists with this name:
1) Tank (stylized as TANK) is the name of two British heavy metal bands, both of which stem from a band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward (ex-The Saints, ex-The Damned). The band's brand filthy metal was loved by both punk and metal fans. The original band is known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motörhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motörhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Heavily influenced by bands like Motörhead, they were a productive force of the NWOBHM movement, and are still making music in the 21st century. After legal and creative disputes, Algy Ward led one version of the group while guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans led the other (Tucker/Evans Tank).
2) Tank is the stage name of an American R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Durrell Babbs.
Tank was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 1, 1976 and he was raised in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion — his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve".
The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. He also co-produced the smash hit single "One Minute Man" by Missy Elliott in 2002.
Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, in which he also had a cameo.
Tank sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has recently worked on Kelly Rowland's second album Ms. Kelly on the tracks "The Show" (a duet with Tank himself) and "Ghetto" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Ghetto" is also set to be the album's second single.
Tank released his 3rd solo album entitled "Sex, Love & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The first single of this album is "Please Don't Go". Tank has also formed a group with Ginuwine and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single will be a remix of "Please Don't Go", with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and search for a fourth member to follow.
Tank, along with Tyrese, are set to perform in West Oakland at the Paramount Theater on November 2, 2007.

Besides that, he was also known through his songs, 三國戀 (Romance in the 3 Kingdom) and 給我你的愛 (Give Me Your Love) which both are the ending themes for two famous Taiwan drama series. TANK also is the spokesperson for computer game, "激戰" (GuildWars) and composed a song for the game.
Since then, "TANK" had became one of the most popular keyword among new artists to be searched in search engines.
While TANK was choosing songs to be fitted to his debut album, he had uploaded several songs and had set a poll on wretch.cc to be listened by his friends and let them vote for songs to be fitted in his new album. To his surprise, thousands of fans came to his blog to listen to his songs.
TANK's debut album, Fighting 生存之道 (Fighting, The Law of Living) is a fusion of Hip Hop, RnB, Rock and traditional Chinese music. The album has been on the Taiwan album sales chart (G-music chart) number 1 spot for 3 weeks beating Tank's own idol, A Mei, Guang Liang and Rainie Yang.

Pure Hatred
Tank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's one type of person, that I love to hate, there's one in here, hangin' round some jailbait
Just wait for an hour, the pleb will demonstrate the girls he gets are ones that inflate
She might need a little persuading, to tell you how much it's worth
There's a cavity, you are invading it's the value, not the pride that hurts
Oh yeah all I got for people that are just like you is pure hatered
Knock you down sideways, you won't feel a thing
So any marriage thoughts are just an inkling
The last time, was really amazing
There's no way that I would die of thirst
It's not the real reason I'm straining
It's the voice not the head that hurts
Oh Yeah all I got for people that are bred like you is pure hatered
So what's the attraction of wasting all your life
With a girl your mother said would be a good wife
So stuff all the flowers, the tassles and the like
Don't give up your job without a good fight
It's not just a bed you're making, you're soon to wear maternal skirts
It's not your parents sheets you are staining, I bet your first time really hurt
The song "Pure Hatred" by Tank is a straightforward song about the lead singer's intense dislike for a specific type of person. The song opens with an aggressive chorus that establishes the song's central idea: "All I got for people that are just like you is pure hatred." The lyrics then dive into the singer's hatred for someone who is hanging around with underage girls and inflating his sexual prowess. The verses are full of insults and jabs at the person, including references to him invading someone's "cavity" and being "bred" a certain way.
The song's second verse takes on a slightly different tone, as the singer shifts his focus to the person's girlfriend. He questions the attraction of wasting your life with someone your mother recommended as a good wife, and tells the person to "stuff all the flowers, the tassels, and the like" and not give up their job without a good fight. The song concludes on an even more aggressive note, with the singer telling the person they will "soon wear maternal skirts" and reminding them that their first time probably hurt.
Overall, "Pure Hatred" is a vitriolic song about someone the lead singer despises. The lyrics are full of fury and insult, and the song's aggressive tone further emphasizes the singer's intense dislike for the person he's addressing.

Give it some time and he'll show you the kind of women he manages to attract - the fake, inflatable ones.

If you want to pay for her services, you may have to convince her to give you a price.

You're entering a space that she defines as valuable, but it's not her sense of dignity that you're violating - it's her price tag.

I have nothing but intense dislike for people who behave like you do.
Knock you down sideways, you won't feel a thing
If I hit you hard enough, you won't even feel the pain.
Her brother thinks he's still inside a big ring, so that's what your man says, so put him in a sling
Her brother has an inflated sense of importance, and your boyfriend is repeating that misinformation, so you need to teach him a lesson.

If you think you want to marry her, it's just a vague idea in your head.

I wouldn't be desperate enough to have sex with just anyone.
It's not the real reason I'm straining

Once again, I feel nothing but intense dislike for people like you, who act in a certain way.
So what's the attraction of wasting all your life
Why are you throwing your life away like this?
With a girl your mother said would be a good wife
You're with a woman who your mother thinks would make a suitable spouse.
So stuff all the flowers, the tassles and the like
Forget about all the superficial things like flowers and decorations.

Don't quit your job without putting up a strong effort to keep it.

By having sex with this woman, you're not just creating a sexual relationship, you're headed toward becoming a father.
It's not your parents sheets you are staining, I bet your first time really hurt
When you have sex, it's not just your own sheets that you're soiling - and the first time was probably painful.

Thanks for putting this on Youtube. I remember this from my teen years. We bought up all the Heavy Metal imports we could in those days at B & D records in Springdale, PA. Very few people know Tank in the US.
