Essence’s August 2007 issue is a dedicated to 2007′s “Do Right Men”. If you have a subscription to Essence magazine, you may see these three fine football players Braylon Edwards, Dhani Jones, and Kerry Rhodes at your doorstep – or in your mailbox rather (you wish).
If you were one of the unlucky ones like me – you got Tyler Perry on the other cover…well, unless you find Madea sexy. On the flip side, Tyler has come a long way to reach the pinnacle of success he’s at so its well deserved.
See the rest of the SINGLE millionaires, doctors, designers, athletes, musicians, and ministers right here that Essence covered in the magazine. And woah nelly…you can even email them.
Nothin like a fine black man….esp. when they’re husband material lol.
The young man 2 the far left of the cover is something serious!!!!
The middle guy is hairy as fuck….not a good look
& I thought TP was gay
Both are the gayest covers I’ve seen Essence do since the Boris Kodjoe dilemma.
Tyler Perry needs to “Come all the way out the closet”. LOL.
….He looks like Madea with facial hair.
…….Hey Ladies, Madea wants to meet you LMAO!
I think the word you’re looking for is pinnacle not “pentacle”. Step your grammar game up forreal.
Nice covers, those 3 guys are freaking sexy!!!!
Can’t wait to see “Why Did I Get Married”, I loved the play, I hope the movie will be just as good if not better!!
……….Freaking sexy MINUS the hairy chest….
Sexy! I ain’t feelin the chest hair though on the dude it in the middle. Looks like he just laid stomach first in the sand. Besides that they are lookin riiiight.
I won’t hate at least essence is trying to uplift the brothas lord knows there are tons of people tearing them down then claiming there ain’t no good men.
don’t all men have hair on there chests :p wtf lol, some ppl wax it off, i’m assuming thats what those other two men did, but this guy digs the hairy look i guess, some women actually like but i think most don’t..
Why they gotta be shirtless.. why cant they be appealing to the eye with sum clothes on..ahem(MiddleMan)..im just sayin his chest look like taco meat and its not the least bit of sexy
The middle one, ummm, his hair not lookin so good, but wooooooooo, yes, hallelujah, some fine young black men (fuck reggie bush), maybe i should subscribe to Essence
i love dudes who have some hair on their chest like dude in the middle.. and i don’t know why.
You know what, to think about it, i don’t think they’re so sexy anymore, theyr’e aaaight.
The dude with the tattoo is too SEXY.
They not cute…at all to me.. their body is just appealin to my eye..
Both covers are ok….I don’t really agree with Essence list. I would never claim Brian mcknight or Shemar moore as Do Right Men…no thank you!
The one in the middle needed to shave his chest and plat his damn hair FOR THAT PHOTOSHOT. How u gon claim u husband material when u can’t take care of urself. Makes me think how u gon take care of ur woman.
The two football players on the right and left are very handsome indeed.
IDK ABOUT TYLER PERRY I KNOW HE SAYS HE IS STRAIGHT BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME OTHER WISE. BUT I AM VERY SURE THAT WON’T STOP ANY WOMAN FROM LOVING HIM. LET’S FACE IT THE MAN HAS MONEY IN THE BANK. AND WHERE THEIR IS MONEY THERE IS ALWAYS SOME WHORE TRYING TO GET IT!

>>>>>> I don’t know about Shemar (fill me in), but Brian “Wife Beater” McKnight is certainly NOT a do right man. He’s single? I thought he was still with that asian chick.
Y IS MY BOO LOOKING STEREOTYPICALLY GAY IN THAT PIC?
The cover models aren’t all that cute in the face but they have nice bodies. And Tyler! I don’t believe he is gay, but he IS looking a little “How You Doin?” in that pic. Damn Essence! Why you wanna go and do that, that, that?
I BET THEY WILL DATE ANY BODY ( INCLUDING MEN ) EXCEPT A TRUE 100% BLACK WOMEN…(NO HALF IN HALF) 100% BLACK QUEEN
Why Essence?? Why Essence?? Why didn’t I get this cover???? Like you, I was stuck with Tyler Perry’s a$$. WTF????
I’m applaude Essence in trying give brothas a good image. I like the cover. I just have a problem with men without shirts on ( if they are not playing a sport). It’s a personal problem and it pisses me off. I need help yall!! lol
Ooo lawd!! Damn, damn, damn! Kerry & braylon can definitely get it!! Now the 1 wit the ground beef on his chest just f**ked the pic up lol. I pray to gawd I get that cover.
Oh, Essence. Why did you do me like that????? : – (
I too got stuck with Tyler Perry’s a$$. I do not support this two different covers for the monthly edition. You would think that Essence would give their subscribers the best cover. WTF????
I am a subscriber to Essence magazine. I would have most definitely preferred the cover with the three brothers as opposed to ‘how you doin?’ Tyler Perry.
I HAVE NEVA LIKED LIGHT SKINNED MEN (, I KNOW I’M FINNA HEAR IT, LOL), BUT HAVE ALWAYS LOVED ME A SEXY DARK CHOCOLATE BROTHA FA SHO! I LOVEEEEE DIS COVER! EXCEPT FOR DAT HAIRY CHEST, I HATE DAT SHYT WIT A PASSION! SHAVE IT OFF!, LOL AND @#10, NO, ALL MEN DO NOT HAVE HAIR ON THEIR CHESTS…
There is not a thing wrong with these fine ass men. Shoot, you don’t see men with bodies like that where I am from. If I wasn’t already taken, I would be emailing my ass off right about now. LOL!!!
Now that’s some eye candy!
Why are they put on the cover greased up and bare chested? They look like slaves up for auction. Essence you could have done better to get you point across. Those pictures do not scream Lawyers,Doctors, Ministers.
AND I CANNOT STANDDDDDD MEN WHO WEAR THEM SEASHELLS AROUND THEY NECK!!! MY GAYDAR BE WORKIN OVERTIME WHEN I SEE DAT SHYT! TYLER PERRY ACTUALLY LOOKS KIND OF DECENT ON THE COVER. AND U KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT EYES. THEY TELL A WHOLE STORY. AND TYLER U LOOKIN A LIL TUTTI FRUITY MAN.
More sexy, shirtless, brothas,,,,minus the dayum TACO meat at:
http://www.ctgmagazine.com
-Sign up for your copy TODAY! Launches in January, I think
P.S. The guy with the TACO meat is Eagles player Dahani Jones. He’s MAAAADDD intelligent, well traveled, speaks multiple languages, etc. Shyt! With a man like that I can get over a hairy chest REEEAAALL FAST!!!
Nothing like a little eye candy to get my day going. Thanks!
I bought this issue of Essence last week…LAWD HAVE MERCY Kerry Rhodes is BEYOND fine. That man is blessed and highly favored lol…
I don’t understand why women need to find a reason to hate? WTF!
So what if the guy is hairy, does that take away from his looks? Or the fact that he could have a really beautiful personality, as well as, know how to treat a REAL woman? I swear females amaze me w/ all the hating ya do…and then got the nerve to wonder why ya single! SMDH!
VIRGO IF U WERE REFERING TO ME THEN UR DEAD WRONG! DONT GET MAD AT ME BECAUSE I DONT LIKE HAIRY CHESTED MEN. THAT IS MY THANG. OH WELL, IF U DONT LIKE IT, AND SINCE WHEN DID WOMEN STARTED HATING ON MEN?, LOL AT FINDING A RESON TO HATE. HOW I FOUND A REASON, WHEN HE IS BARE ON THE COVER WITH HIS CHEST OUT FOR US TO SEE?, LMAO, YALL KILL ME WITH UR OVER THOUGHT OPINIONS AND FALSE ANALYZATIONS. KEEP WONDERING ABOUT ME…….
REASON*
the men look good, ALL of them. Except Tyler Perry, but he is a successful brother that still seems to be in black women, so I have nothing but love for him…But back to the cover, I would take anyone of them, especially if they are husband material too.
@ 39 – You must be incredibly self centered to think my comment was directed specifically @ you…were you the only one on this forum hatin on this man’s hairy chest? No. So I suggest you take your juvenile comments else were…
sexy but looks kinda gay
#41, I SUGGEST U TO GROW UP AND GET READY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES WHEN U SAY STUPID SHYT TO PPL, AND I KNOW YA WEAK AZZ COMMENT WASNT DIRECTLY TOWARDS ME YA FOOL….
damn, CL just took me to eye candy heaven. it`sz a damn shame i have to come back down! Tyler Perry actually looks very nice on the cover.
Oooo Lord those are sum sexy black men!!!! I’ma have to pick me up a copy today cuz there aint nuthin like sum fine chocolate to start out ur work week ya digg??!!!!
Braylon the 1st to tha left is sexy looks way better than that monkey Reggie Bush!
The 1st to tha left on the Cover that is!
Dude to the far left is all kinds of fine. He reminds me of my 1st boyfriend.
LoL @ all the desperate women, not doing a daggone thing for themselves that are going to be e-mailing these men till the keys fall out their keyboards.
When I opened up this mag and seen that Brian McKnight was one of the contenders, I was a bit puzzled…..really
But besides that they look wonderfully amazing, hairy chest and all. I’ll take’em, all of ‘em. LOL
I personally don’t find any of these men to be very attractive, however, they do have some really nice bodies! I must say that I commend them on being positive and successful brothers though!
hairy chest….ughhhhhhh but he kinda cute tho…ima hav 2 chek it out further
Dayum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing like a fine azz chocolate brotha……………..darker the berry, the mo I want em in my, oooooooooooooopssssssssssss!!!! gonna buy that issue. #2 what tripppppppppppssssssss me out bout alot of folks is how they think TP is gay, yet when they have proof that Shemar sweet azz is gay, they go on and on about how fione he is and what they still will do to him, no wonder so many sistas walking round with aids and diseases, nazzy azzes. Like alot of u don’t believe Shemar is gay, why? because he is so fione? or because he is so fuggin light? have proof of him on gay beach, yet lot of u still deny it, yet u down the hell out of Eddie, TP, etc……all I noticed are much darker than Shemar. Told your azzes ova and ova that shim was gay, go back to some of my comments.
@ 52 – there was no proof that it was gay beach…whereas TP dresses up as a woman quite frequently and there is somethng off about his sexuality…can’t say the same for Shemar…
LOL @ #48….I don’t know why women would waste their time emailing these dudes. I mean in all honesty are they even reading those emails…c’mon now lol!!!!
Alllllrighty Then! That’s what I’m talking about. Good way to start my Monday morning off. They could have did without the middle dude. He is NOT cute and that carpet chest is just gross.
You can just look at Tyler and tell he’s gay.
Hey Candi and Mika!!
HEYYYYYYY FOXXY! GIRLLLLLLLL, GUESS WHO I HUNG OUT WIT SAT NIGHT??????……..MR WIPE ME DOWN HIMSELF! WIT HIS FINE AZZ…SHORT, BUT FINE, LOL
LOL @ the carpet chest. The one on the left is looking kinda sexy.
Hey CL fam!
hmmm nice chocolatey men on the cover of essence to start my mondai morning… thanks CL!
and that pic of TP just screams ‘how you dooooin?’
The one in the middle…toooo much chest hair. Its all neatly arranged on his abs, what? lol
Dude on the left got that fire! Mmmm.
