Mint Condition: The Never That You'll Never Know

[MrCarlashley]

this was one of my favorite songs mintcondition is the bomb

[MrSeminole66]

One of my favorite songs. Ppl don't listen to what they're saying. One of the best bands in history that no-one will ever recognize. My favorite group is "The Deele." But there is not even a close third to Mint Condition. Nobody gets that second spot except them.

[enterpriseceo]

thanks for this post this was a very great song and group

[TheTheundertaker15]

i know stokley is the main character to mint condition but do any of the supporting cast even have names........just saying

[MyJunior1975]

@TheTheundertaker15 Yes, and they are as follows- from left to right on the album cover:

O'Dell (guitar), Lawrence Waddell (keyboards), Jeffrey Allen (keyboards, saxophone), Ricky Kinchen (bass) and Keri Lewis (keyboards).

[MySanders1]

THE COLDEST GROUP, THE COLDEST BAND!!! S T O K E L Y !!!

[ksand1976]

This is the modern day Earth Wind & Fire = BAND

Much Luv MC!!!

[1psychomyko]

Those 3 people dont know music...they get slept on just like Mr. Rahssan Patterson.Dope artist, too much talent, but the radio plays $3 dollar bill music. Which means phony & fake.

[1psychomyko]

Those 3 people dont know music...

[TheKillakeish1]

Artist Like This Get Slept On Because They Stay Original, So They Don't Get The Attention They Deserve.

~Shameful~

[delledean2020]

You know a band is good when it can describe your emotions at the time when you can't say the words yourself.

[Megutron]

this remind me of highschool...

[msliteyes]

Such a beautiful song and an awesome group...

[symoneraene]

@MsReed2009 lol..that's how it goes..sucks doesn't it? true talent never gets the recognition it deserves

[krimro]

Aye like 4real i grew up on the "mint" signing there songs for my fam. brings ack memories!!!!

[MissSLF2U]

Big Fan!! This band has always have mantained excellent story telliing with their music!!

[MrLgraham41]

These brothas are awesome!!! It's ashame that they don't get the publicty that they've earned.

[MissSLF2U]

@MrLgraham41 Not sure why this has happened with this band!! Their music is about love,relationships and yet i cannot remember them sweeping music awards!! But the artist or band that is degrading women,pants hanging off their butts,crouch grabbing 1 hit wonders..are having their music played on every station! I will NEVER understand the music industry!!

[ju56455]

@MissSLF2U yeah right i agree if it thug mcnasty the radios will make it a hit.

[mekagreen69]

Im Crazy in love with Stokely, Rick and Jeff....especially Jeff!!!

[jarbon5]

This is an incredible song! Could go on about how screwed up the music industry is nowadays, but that ain't needed. Besides, I'd rather enjoy the song:)

[MrMactab]

the last and possibly the final, extrodinary band we will unfortunately,hope not, have seen the end of bands like this one MINT KEEP PUSHING

[TuNee23]

aahhhhh! I am loving this right now!

[MrKevin619ism]

"Definition Of A Band". The best Mint Condition album in my opinion, but I love them and I buy their stuff even though they were always slept on. They are cold beasts. and they still in the game since 1991.

[LADY69in]

idk how this group didn't get the fame they deserved man. one of the best bands ever!!!!!! st8 real talent here. hope they make a strong comeback soon

[abdurraheem8]

@LADY69in first, 2 damn real for most people, second, they staid true to there music and didnt turn it into a tool for big money marketing cons and ploys. hands down, top to bottom, true skills. and there from twin cities! i got to watch there career grow from when they were just local talent. thanks for listening to my rants, i feel better know! peace. big ups minneapolis!

[bronxbabi100]

The BEST male group to come out of the 90's. HANDS DOWN!!!

[shyshotcaller27]

They don't know nuthin' bout this here. Love it! Still plays in the deck. Fo sho!

[bouncinbubblez]

They Always Come Right On Time for my Heart!!! ...

I Love Them!!! ... On point Always! ...Just what I need to Say and FEEL!

[lilmzsexytt]

this is a bad song sit back listen to words

[mdlsmith]

love this song.this song is the jam.

[LONBOX]

Can somebody upload the song MY DEAR?

[Apollos1824]

@LONBOX ITs already up!

[jwh1999]

Haha, the reason other artist don't remake Mint's songs is b/c no one can come close to the way Stokley sings, he's in a class by himself!!

[mekagreen69]

@jwh1999 OMG! YOU ARE SOOOOO RIGHT HIS VOICE IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!

[darkthoughtbox]

This is R&B at its best. Music isn't like this anymore. Boyz II Men, Mint Condition, Jodeci, and 112 held it down. I mean they all have their own style and were actually singing about something. Im a product of the 90's and I'll tell you. This is the stuff right here.

[highlightmaterial]

try t0 watch "south b0rder band" fr0m philippines!!its influenced by MINTC0NDITI0N...

[cnote3052007]

I was a little boy but i remember this song!!

[EMR80]

I'm only 29 but I grew up on this kind of music and I must say the R&B game sucks now. I love when these guys come to Minnepolis. The Caboost Club be poping when they come back home.

[woopinz]

HERE COMEZ THE WOOPINZ!!!! sHIT this joint reminds me of this chick that i was hangin wit and then all a da sudden jus stop fukin wit me (found sum1else). But shit her loss KEEP IT PIMPIN MC. while I KEEP IT WOOPINZ!!

[01261861]

I love this song. Just dedicated this song to my new love!!!

[stacycashew]

I am a big fan of Mint Condition's music, this song is soooo good that I have to put it on repeat. I am glad I got a chance to see them in concert the performance was outstanding.

[buttlikewat]

Their lyrics are so smooth, that's what got me hooked! These brothers really should be "larger" then what they are. I been a fan 20+

[cuquee]

I had there poster on my wall in high school! :) Best male group of the 90's and beyond!

[rabmusic]

I had this song on audio tape and played it 'til it broke. takes me back. One of my favorite bands.

[blacktsunamit]

YES SIR!!! What a song!!

[macmen85]

Very under-rated. They used no dap machines just played their own instraments and sang like hell. I hate when record labels push these guys, Silk and others to the side to focus on a bunch of losers. Damn, I guess we are the old folks now...sucks!

[Dru2000]

No one could sing like Stokley. Even at 42 he is still hitting the most of notes he hit in his 20s. Remarkably underrated band with a legendary singer in Stokley Williams.

[tulsa4life]

there great all there music rocks..this one is no different!

[TheMonolith75]

This my "sing-a long" song!! Soooo smooth,with passion!!! LOVE IT!!

[lavanit19]

this song take me back to the good ol days damn do i miss the 90's real soul musics

[tracitrae]

Exactly how i feel bout my boo right now :) I LOVE MINT CONDITION!!!!!

[mrk2k4]

One of the greatest love songs to ever come from the new school.

[TMTSM]

I feel like I'm floating....I love them...I love this song....I want to cry right now.....

[EMR80]

Dam I love this song I feel that way about some one right now she got my head spinning and shit. Iove is blind and makes you feel crazy you do things you will never think you would do.

[Tabu360]

Dam i love the hell out of this song. Mint Condition is underated.

[bouncinbubblez]

@Tabu360 - Lawd Me Too! ... Whew!

I GET Serious Chills from this Groove everytime!

So passionate and convicting!

[cmi7779]

@Tabu360 ....Very Underated for an Actual Band!!!!

[MGalarza002]

I love Mint Condition. I'm so sad I missed them last time they were in Boston a few months ago.

[nickipretti]

IF U OUT THERE DONNEAL TYUSS, STILL GOT LOVE 4 U AND THINKING ABOUT U ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!! GUESS I WILL NEVER KNOW. THIS IS NIKKI!!! AMBOY ST. , BROOKLYN YEAR 91- 93!!! lOVE U ALWAYS!!!

[latriceh6]

[fvckinfool101]

this song brings me back to the first love

[TubeGuest5178]

Stokely and Charlie wilson has that ability to make the hairs on my neck stand up! some artists with REAL talent can do that regardless of age!

[groove2227721]

Tight song. Cause you'll neva know! Neva know! Neva know! Neva know!

[MJRookieRook]

DAMN! My mother played this CD until it fell apart. One of my favorites and one of the best.

STOKLEY THE BOY!!!!

[lavanit19]

dang! i love the heck out of this song!!! always and forever the 90's! mint condition is the bomb!

[brianairmax]

joow Mint Condition still rocks like back in the dayss. Someone should upload '' My Dear'' from this album

[Lilac0617]

Luv it saw them in concert in Chicago and they so blew me away:)

[DanaProctor]

I can't express how much I respect these guys musically, their originality, their musicianship, they are truly the LAST of their kind.

[deaconkb]

all i can say is WOW!!! an absolutely incredible song.

This neva gets old!!!!

[PeekaPeep]

'Definition Of A Band' still remains my most played Mint album to this day because of strong, memorable tracks like these. I mean every song on there was so good I literally ended up knowing the lyrics to ALL of them in a matter of days just from playing the cd out so damn much, lol! From a '90s perspective, they were one of my Top 5 favorite bands along with Fishbone, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, Jamiroquai, and The Black Crowes. THANK GOD they're still recording and touring...

[ohhriginal]

omg! i remember when i was so into this woman! DAMN! i played this everyday!

[ohhriginal]

she's back in my life now. (thank you GOD)

[IAMlesliearnelle]

OH MY.....brings back memories...where is my CD!!!!

[khaleel11]

This is one of the best bands. Along with EWF and MAZE I love em!

[StarklingsArmy]

Huge tune!

I love this tune and Always!!

Peace to Mint Condition!

[4ateletuby]

I like the way he switches up his tone @2:23-2:27. Very Nice, Mr Williams :-)

[buttlikewat]

Mint Condition Performing Live in

Baltimore, Maryland Nov.15 @ The MeyerHoff ( downtown B-more) f/ Angie Stone.

[shininjuol]

Thanks for posting! Awesome song!

[mochacutie23]

i love the hell outta this song!!

[4ateletuby]

Aah I, wanna go out on a limb and say that Def of A Band is their best work, but I can't. All of their CD's are great..Yet something about this song and Aint Hookin Me Up and Change Your Mind AND both versions of Def of a Band are just sooo darn musical!! Mint is the truth

[cb4077]

I agree they are the truth. I would have to go out on a limb also and say Welcome to the Mint Factory, The Collection, and Livin the Luxury Brown are my top 3.

[4ateletuby]

I agree with you, also the Millenium collection. I listen to From The Mint Factory, daily.

[cb4077]

So do I. I see we know good music when we hear it. I keep it on at work and at home. I saw the Millenium Collection but didnt get it. The Collection had My Dear on it and I fell in love with it. The Collection(1991-1998) is the second most played Mint Cd at work and at home.

[jwh1999]

I love Odell's guitar solo on this track!!

[nebaioth]

Don't gag on his TIP...LOL!! That's a pretty bold statement. Surely you're overlooking a few. Great vocalist, though! I like 'em too.

[DanaProctor]

Man these dudes can put songs together, they just sick wit it. Man stoke is one of the baddest male vocalists ever, hands down!!

[sta2479]

a hip e.w.f

[sunshine2481]

OMG!! Love Mint Condition!! I saw them live 2 times!! Stokley! Stokley! Stokley!!! Makes no damn sense how talented he is!!! (And fine too! lol!) Hell, how talented all of them are!

[meganDY12]

3:20-23 that add lib! i love how stokely goes all...idk what to call it..all chromatic! i cant stop restarting this song!

[CKB1987]

Yeah Stokley can switch notes really fast, Coko of SWV can do it too its like their voices are made for runs and riffs!!!!

[CKB1987]

STOKLEY Betta SANG he know he got some vocals!

[illstreetfiyah]

this cd is so fire i remmember that i lost it once and bought a new copy the next day,then that one got scratched up so i bought another one!!lol anything for real classic music

[CKB1987]

Mines is scratched up but I got a tape for backup!!!

[illstreetfiyah]

[IMSJoseCuervo]

The Last Black Band...i own everything they ever produced...they come no finer...their harmony and musical prowess is on a diffrent level...

[hollyveeta]

Whew!!!! Talk about a band!!!!!! this is what you call LIVE music!!!!!!!

[black2skin2]

black2skin: The answer to your question is

like they say It's the never that you'll never know,but seriously speaking Mint condition is totally awsome. My man stokley

got some serious range .

[fatface29]

QUESTION, Why are so many people sleep on these awesome brothas? All most of them know is Pretty brown eyes. I want everybody to hear them. They're da bomb!

[Screamingdk]

The media gives the great ones no play if they can't control or own them

[170llcoolj]

@Screamingdk

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!

[black2skin2]

black2skin: These are some talented brothers. They be pipen their ass off.

[DanaProctor]

[wk33sa]

these guys are the re-incarnation of Earth, Wind and Fire, I swear, they make you want to fall in love in this fucked up century we call the 21st. We need guys like them back on the air waves, fuck the industry, they need an overhaul.

[jaypinky]

Thanks for posting this.I love this song from Mint Condition.They are a group of talented and friendly men who God has surely shown favor. Can't wait until the new CD drops in March. Just in time for my birthday!

[37scorpio]

This Song is tight.All their songs are tight. Very underrated group. Music industry only looks for the fly-by-nite-cookie-cutter groups that are one hit wonders. Mint will always have a loyal fan base.

[purplerose71968]

Hey 37sorpio you are so right, and thats why mint condition is still making music with lyrics that just makes you want to say whoa!
