The latest Verzuz<\/a> between Tank<\/a> and Tyrese<\/a> brought out the soul, shade, and stars as the TGT bandmates went hit for hit. <\/p>\n

The head-to-head started off with Tank performing \u201cColdest\u201d and dedicated his soulful version of \u201cI Can\u2019t Make You Love Me\u201d to the ladies. Tyrese shaded him for \u201cputting n***as to sleep on the first song\u201d before turning up the energy with \u201cWhat\u2019Cu Like.\u201d He followed by a blast from the past from Chingy \u201cPullin\u2019 Me Back.\u201d The mics were on and the TGT tension was thick<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Tank clapped back that he likes to take it slow and has the catalog to \u201cgo all night\u201d as he serenaded the crowd with J. Valentine for \u201cSlow\u201d and a mashup with \u201cSlowly.\u201d Tyrese swapped out his streetwear for some soul singer style in a black turtleneck, a blazer with sequined lapels, and matching bellbottoms. He came out fully in character, smoking a cigarette before SANGING \u201cStay\u201d with all his heart to girlfriend Zellie Timothy. Tank tied it up after taking that round, and gloated that his opponent went from \u201cone coat to another bad coat.\u201d<\/p>\n

After another round of \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know\u201d and Tank\u2019s Aaliyah collab, \u201cCome Over,\u201d vs Morning After \/ Signs Of Love Makin\u2019,\u201d Tyrese joked about not needing to watch the clock. Tank quickly quipped that the Baby<\/em> Boy<\/em> star didn\u2019t come prepared for timing or top hits to compete with his #1s. \u201cYou think because you sang a mid song longer, it\u2019s going to get better! It\u2019s just going to be a mid song sang longer,\u201d he said. \u201cIt just didn\u2019t make the song better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cWhen We\u201d star flexed his prolific pen with songs he wrote for other singers like Pleasure P\u2019s Grammy-nominated \u201cUnder.\u201d Tyrese perfected his audio to belt out the highy anticipated classic, \u201cLately,\u201d joking that he took over the crowd and wouldn\u2019t give them back during \u201cWhat Am I Gonna Do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Between audio issues, TSA delays holding travelers hostage, and The Millennium Tour Presents: The Boys 4 Life Tour tying up many of Tank\u2019s top collaborators, both seasoned singers had to improvise. Tank took it to another level when he went from riffing on Marques Houston\u2019s \u201cNaked\u201d to dragging Tyrese about suffocating in his turtleneck after a third wardrobe. <\/p>\n

The catchy and comedic clapback left Tyrese singing along, joking that Tank should\u2019ve tagged in Kim Burrell for his runaway runs. <\/p>\n

Some fans joked that Tyrese won because he had bigger hits that dominated the lineup and mostly performed solo. Meanwhile, #TeamTank claimed that writing all those hit songs like Omarion\u2019s \u201cO\u201d made him an elite artist and celebrity cameos are just part of the OG Verzuz game. That made it tough to call a clear winner between LeToya Luckett popping out to perform \u201cRegret\u201d and Tyrese singing his face off on \u201cShame,\u201d which Tank admitted was an undeniable \u201csmash record.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamie Foxx pulled up to make it \u201cDo What It Do\u201d with Tank and the mic was most definitely on!<\/p>\n

While Tank changed artists, Tyrese continued changing jackets. He stepped out suited and booted in a white tux to declare he \u201calready won.\u201d <\/p>\n

With the performance of another breakout hit, Tyrese might have been right. Jamie is a tough act to follow, but so is \u201cSweet Lady!\u201d<\/p>\n

The final guest for Tank was musical menace Trey Songz<\/a>, making appearance between seemingly constant court dates. Like many critical comments about the cameo, Tyrese wasn\u2019t having it and ran Trigga off the stage for sliding in a remix of \u201cWhen We,\u201d after the original came and went. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Tank closed out with \u201cMaybe I Deserve\u201d and \u201cPlease Don\u2019t Go,\u201d which even Tyrese was vibing with despite Tank getting on one knee to beg not one, but two, women in the crowd. It\u2019s giving DRAMA!<\/p>\n

All Tyrese needed to do was drop the mic with one question, \u201cHow You Gonna Act Like That?\u201d Tank didn\u2019t go down without a fight, joking, \u201cHow your band gonna act like that? How your jacket gonna act like that? You took off that turtleneck because that turtleneck was acting like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Tyrese fired back, \u201cYou\u2019re an opener not a headliner, we all a need a comedian before the main act comes outz.\u201d Tank dropped the receipts on being the only one to have \u201cfour headlining tours.\u201d He joked, \u201cFast & Furious is nice but you can\u2019t tour.\u201d Oop! The brotherly beef got a little serious, with Tyrese dissing the \u201chotel lobby\u201d bookings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Whew, that was a close one! Once again it seems that the real winners are music lovers. Both veterans brought the vocals and made it clear that R&B is still alive, even with Jack Harlow entering the chat<\/a>. They gave each other their flowers for decades of success and teased another TGT album, but Genuwine was M.I.A.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the Tank and Tyrese Verzuz? Was there a clear winner?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
