Says a lot about Prince...he was a mentor and didn't want to be the only great one--he wanted everyone to be great!

Wow! finally someone says it,he wanted everybody to be great. He influenced me as well . I never met him,but I absorbed his whole vibe for being great..Once back in the heyday of Diamonds and Pearls era..people in Europe thought I was a part of his team. My look at the time was inspired by his output in the Universe. Any way,thanks for that beautiful comment. He wanted others to be great. Rest In Power Prince.

Prince was "once in forever artist". Mint Condition, you're breakin' my heart with such lovely words about your mentor. Thanks for posting this interview Michael McIntee.

Always wanted to see Prince and M.C.perform together being that they're both from Minneapolis. So glad that happened💜💜

I can't say nothing but I love Prince.I will always be his fan til I die. I'm lost for words right now such a amazing person.

The they were soooo underrated . I would die if Prince admired anything I did.

Prince "a once in forever artist" indeed.

Prince was a musician 1st and he respected fellow REAL musicians. Prince had excellent taste . I'm a Mint Condition fan too.

no, I take that back, Prince was beyond a genius at every aspect of music cuz he did every genre and won at it....

That was so decent. MC is so underrated I'm happy to hear P recognized and appreciated their talent!

A beautiful, articulate interview about the genius, unique painter of music.... the Artist of Minneapolis. Thank u :)

Beautiful interview! My all-time favorite band paying respect to my all-time favorite musician. Prince was truly magical and powerful.

Thank you.💖 Mint Condition. Very well said. 💜 💜 Prince knew Greatness when he met you. God bless you all.💛. Rest in Peace Beautiful Precious 💜you're truly missed 💜.

I love Mint Conditions albums! Prince knew they had the better band.

+Blu Muzik Correction...pure opinion! And MY opinion is, they were awesome then and I continue to listen to their older music. They are still just as handsome and seem like great guys, but I'm just not interested in their newest music. Again, my grown woman opinion ☺️

You were right in your correctionMiss Blu.....a lot of these younger folks cannot appreciate good music if it kicked them in the head good....I saw Mint Condition last year and they still got it....still making dates still touring and still could out do any of the tired lame music of today...To be truthful music died after the 90's.....So for folks to say THEY WERE AWESOME IN THEIR DAY.....NEWS FLASH AND CORRECTION THEY STILL ARE....I find it disrespectful that they are the last R&B band....the last.....and the lack of respect given to them by some folks.....So much love to you Blu....for standing up for the real.

I can't calm down, lol. Never will:-) Stokely Carmichael was from the Carribbean, correct? But for sure, he was an instrument of change to be remembered.

Touching and personal remembrance. Thanks. Keep the music going.

Love Mint and Prince!💜❤️

Love these guys and it still baffles me how underated they are. Along with their awesome talents to go along with Jimmy Jam, Terry AND Prince as mentors, they got the Minneapolis sound down pat.

Stokley speaks his mind...100

Everyone is taking the sissy comment the wrong way. Stokely was basically saying he influenced many guys. They started wearing eye liner, long curl, ruffles and so on. Everyone wanted to emulate Prince. Mint Condition had respect and love for Prince. They had the opportunity many never had. To tour with him, jam at PP. When a statement is said. Reading between the lines is important. Prince was 100% sexy man. He was in touch with his feminine side. He loved beautiful women.

So a man in touch with his feminine side is sexy? Lord have mercy! I personally think it's disgusting....There's nothing good about a that....

blacks have such a beautiful and rich culture.

Sad but inspiring video. Great job guys ! I know it had to be hard to talk about the loss of a close friend . He will be forever missed

I dont know how I came across this video but I am so pleased I did. Such a wonderful, warm and genuine tribute by two lovely guys. I shall now have to check their music out.

Stokely is in one of Prince's later videos. Idk the song but it's a slow one showing the band. He heavily supported the Minneapolis sound. As Great as he was, he gave back from his experiences & was confident enough as a man and a musician to allow, help & teach others to shine.

He did backing vocals on "Call My Name", and was seen briefly in the video.

I really wish Mint Condition would come out together with more music!!!❤❤❤ Much much love and respect for these brothas my childhood homies!!! Hey Stokes and Larry. I'm truly very proud of y'all!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

One of the best interviews Ive ever seen.

Beautiful. So many stories, memories that people have shared. Some serious like this to some down right hilarious. All enjoyable. An interested man. Loved and missed.

Great interview, thanks....

Mint condition...such a great band....

Michael McIntee, thank you for sharing this interview. This is another testament to the real man Prince was. Date: October 7, 2016

Prince was a genius at every aspect of music itself....

Real Player talk Non Musician's will need 30 years B4 they recognize Who Brother Nelson was...

Prince had great-sounding music, but the music does not stop because he left this world

I really liked their introduction to the welcome to the mint factory album with stokely's drum cadence....

I agree, PRINCE is a ONCE in a FOREVER artist! There will NEVER be anyone who can meet or beat his amazing ability ((this includes Elvis and Michael - who I am a fan of both))

Mint Condition a great group

Excellent. Raw, real, intelligent, passionate. HONEST. Thank you for sharing.

Stokley's glasses lo👀k like he got em right off the carousel in the store.😂🕶😂🕶🤣

Jimmy & Terry got them Ns thinking they Earth Wind and Fire.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Stokley on the RnB Money podcast (had me cracking up)

Saw The Tribute To Prince Enjoyed It Very Much Also Letting Me Really Know More Of Prince Thank You Mint Condition Prince Will Be Missed Greatly💜

Maestro is the word

I like these guys

Two underrated Bands Mint Condition and The Roots

prince was murdered ,wake up ,and speak up

Stokley did the theme for Sunyatta Amen.

Shame about the background noises, wrong time to wash the dishes man. Very cool boys anyway.

and ST.PAUL sound is Stokley! Cut from a pedigree cloth! McWatt influenced, Professor taught! #RONDO

Prince battled Warner Brothers Records for the rights to his music for 18 years, So there is no way he died without a will. That is just straight bullshit. He would have never wanted them to take control of his intellectual property.

ALL I HEAR IS WAS.....WAS IS PASS TENSE, HE IS WHETHER DEAD OR ALIVE. MOGUL....... 👍

OMG

He lost me there when he got technical around 7.10, obviously the man must know what he's talkin about.

It’s hard to believe that Prince did not meet the members of Mint Condition prior to the celebrations ?

I lost count of how many songs Ive heard where artists sound EXACTLY like prince especially deep and soulful house records. Its kind of weird though its like its acceptable to blatantly copy prince

U know ?

they said you know about 5000 times a piece ...shit!!

Really Stokely...."Sissy look." No sir. #Love41another

So do they really believe that Prince died w/o a will?

Don't agree about the "sissy" part, Prince was no sissy.
