I'm still amazed that his speaking voice is SO different from his singing voice. He's got to be one of the best singers. Absolutely love him and Mint Condition.
Stokley keeping it real. He said they used to fight in the early days. All the boy bands had their fights and arguments, but still was like a close knit family. But despite that, they came together and made great music that would last forever! They dont get the credit they deserve, but thank you guys for the good music!
People don't give y'all credit for _Nothing Left to Say._ That song is so sick. It's now a Quiet Storm classic. I know y'all are a band, pero whenever I think about Mint Condition, I think about you, Stokley. Great interview, fellas.
LaChele How and where in the world could you even find the album where "Nothing Left To Say" is on..? I couldn't even find a digital download on amazon. Thats the only Mint Condition I don't have..
For some reason it's a good song, but I just don't like the chord breakdown at the end of the chorus. But classic???? Um I'll pass on that one as well. Nope it's not a classic. Good radio single, lots of airplay, but not classic. When I think of songs that are classic by MC, you have to think of "Pretty Brown Eyes" "So Fine" "Forever In Your Eyes" "The Never That You'll Never Know" etc......:-)
Mint Condition was one of my Favorite R&B Groups ever I used to go home after school when I was in the 5th Grade and watch Video Soul so I can hear Swangin that was my song back then
No.. Mint Condition was a GREAT BAND and didn’t need no help , no collaborations needed. Just like Tony Toni Tone didn’t need no help doing what they do. Love and Respect for Our Last Great Band. Still in Mint Condition if you ask me.
A professional person with or without a college education does not signify how that person's vernacular is used I am not a college graduate but yet I am a professional, it all goes by how you were raised you could be raised by parents from the projects and still conduct yourself with a sense of professionalism am I right
I bought that 4th album when it dropped, noticed it wasn’t a big, but it was good to me. Because it was Mint Condition. I still have it. MC is still my favorite band for my generation. Looking forward to seeing Stokley this week. 🔥🔥🔥
ME-Tube Your Space! Except that's NOT what happened. He met Toni and became involved in her music. Keri chose to leave. He came back after they broke up. By then, black radio was dying. It's hard to promote when no one is playing your music. Did you even listen to the video?
I disagree - "nothing left to say" is one of their biggest records, when they perform it live they get a crazy response, especially at the essence music festivals. "Believe in us" has over 1 million streams and views online too...These were recorded well after keri left the group.
waynesworldizm After Kerri left things changed but not because he left. The industry changed and the budgets they had dropped significantly. That was more of a factor than one member leaving.
Yes, Kerri was right to protect his marriage; but was he right to leave his steady job without securing another job? "What kind of man..." man does that? 🎼🎤🎵🎶
A man running after a woman instead of running with her is who did that. You do what you ARE. One could tell by the wedding that it was all for show. Corporate sponsors! WTH. Oh well. Did they get their investment back when it failed? Not a TB fan.
He thought Toni could carry him. Not paying close attention to the person. She was a big big spender, loved that rich life. Big family too! Plus, they had an autistic child. Very expensive. Marry your head to your heart people no matter who you are, first, then marry the person you love. Who can know the future? No one. Just saying, not practicing marriage counseling without a license😂
I love that show. Keri has a great ear for music and is a genius! Plz do more episodes IDK HOW PPL MISSED THAT! the way Keri breaks the songs down is extraordinary
My favorite R&B Group. I miss the real music, real singers overall A excellent group of musicians/ Entertainers with helluva Skills/Talent. Real Ass Musicians
MINT CONDITION ONE OF THE BEST BANDS IN THE WORLD I CAN HONESTLY SAY HOW MUCH THESE GUYS HAVE TOUCHED MY HEART WITH THEIR MUSIC I AM SO GRATEFUL TO GOD HE ALLOWED ME TO HEAR THEIR MUSIC AND HEAR THE LOVE THEY HAVE FOR MUSIC THEY HAVE TOUCHED SO MANY HEARTS THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
Depends on who you ask. Luxury Brown was the shit. I think they were better live after Keri left. No shot at him but the band honed their craft even better after Keri left. Would love for him to reunite with them anytime
I thought he only played the drums not piano plus writing all the music they played with him he is under rated that is wrong he is a very smart artist and was the brain s of mint condition
Can anyone explain to me how long VLAD has been in the streets grinding to be able to get so many people in the music industry interviewed. This boy is in the hip hop culture and community for sure.
Kerri got a new hustle that pays well aka Toni Braxton's baby daddy (child support) and former "house husband". Sure he was able to save up some mad money while married, women do it all the time when they marry rich.
Why is he comparing Mint Condition with Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5. I can't believe Stokley said that. FYI - Michael Jackson decided to do his own thing when the brothers didn't want to tour anymore because they got married and wanted to do something different. they still toured but then they didn't care as much. Michael was single and still loved touring and making music, and he had a lot of ideas for the music, so they wished him well and he did his thing.
One of the best male voices in R and B!!
Very underrated and slept on
Fax 🖨 💯
I'm still amazed that his speaking voice is SO different from his singing voice. He's got to be one of the best singers. Absolutely love him and Mint Condition.
Yessss my husband and I go to see them quite often. They are awesome
Definitely top 3 vocalist for me
Mint condition still dope after all these years!
Johnnie Alexander yesss
Johnnie Alexander Yes!
yep
FACT!!!
Forever
Stokley keeping it real. He said they used to fight in the early days. All the boy bands had their fights and arguments, but still was like a close knit family. But despite that, they came together and made great music that would last forever! They dont get the credit they deserve, but thank you guys for the good music!

Mint Condition was one of my Favorite R&B Groups ever I used to go home after school when I was in the 5th Grade and watch Video Soul so I can hear Swangin that was my song back then
Andrew Anderson man foreal my daughter been singing that since 2yrs
Andrew Anderson mine too👍
Mine too
Man swangin still is my favorite song till this Day!
Life's Aquarium is a masterpiece. "This Day This Minute" is still probably the best wedding song nobody ever heard
pj w that's a beautiful song I want to use it for my wedding. Another good wedding song is On and On by Mint Condition
yup. on and on is a great song as well.
pj I agree!
Facts of life
El writes some of the best ballads...
I am LOVING that new song he did called "LEVEL" that is MY JAM right now!!
Yes
Man! I love me some Mint Condition! The last real band!
*The Roots?!*
naywahn I think she meant jazzy/r&b band. Roots are too, but I'd still consider them hip hop
Frankie Beverly and Maze still tour.
Definitely the last SOUL/JAZZ band!
Can you imagine if Mint Condition and Tony Tone Toni did a song together! 😍
😍😍😍😍 OH MAN!!!! Yes!!!
I’ve ALWAYS thought the same thing. Both bands sound similar and it would be phenomenal!!
Yasssss 🔥
No.. Mint Condition was a GREAT BAND and didn’t need no help , no collaborations needed. Just like Tony Toni Tone didn’t need no help doing what they do. Love and Respect for Our Last Great Band. Still in Mint Condition if you ask me.
Ohhhh yes that would be fire
You can tell Stokley be staying humbled
Aaron Williams that’s the Minnesota gentleman Spirit
Terry E. Rucks 💯💯💯
'Forever in your eyes' beautiful song 💕😘👌🏽
Stoke's parents are like college professors.... just in case you are wondering why he's so well spoken
A professional person with or without a college education does not signify how that person's vernacular is used I am not a college graduate but yet I am a professional, it all goes by how you were raised you could be raised by parents from the projects and still conduct yourself with a sense of professionalism am I right
Debbie Tucker - True!
Because she thinks black people are supposed to talk like ignorant dumb shits and if they actually have sense they are too white.
Isn't he married to a teacher? His daughter is a smart and involved cookie as well.
Treyvon M That's not what she said. You sound ignorant AF.
Love Mint Condition really underrated. Amazing artist Stokley.
O
The Sankofa album by Stokley is a beast!!
This brother is one of the greats! Amazing voice.
Stokely you soooo fine
im just shock his speaking voice sounds nothing like his singing voice lol
Right
I didn’t realize it until I read this comment lol
Right?! Sounding like Donny Simpson. 🥰🥰🥰
I totally agree
I said the same thing!! I was like "Wow!"
There music makes me feel like oooh la la..it makes u feel. 💕 Love them...cause "You Don't Have to Hurt No More"... Love that song.
Don’t over look how young and healthy his skin looks , he’s in his 50’s.
I bought that 4th album when it dropped, noticed it wasn’t a big, but it was good to me. Because it was Mint Condition. I still have it. MC is still my favorite band for my generation. Looking forward to seeing Stokley this week. 🔥🔥🔥
I love Kerri and Stoke. This guy is an amazing musician.
I met Stokley at Ronald Reagan airport in DC very nice and humble guy. Very handsome as well💙💙
ONE the best singer out their hand down!! STOKLEY, the man!!
My favorite Band to this day!
Keri should've never left mint that group was unique and the shit
Chocolate Thunder Cherry HE PROBABLY LEFT DUE TO PHYSICAL BLOWS. LOTS OF FIGHTING. WHAT MEMBER WANTED TO STAY IN A GROUP SO DYSFUNCTIONAL.
ME-Tube Your Space! Except that's NOT what happened. He met Toni and became involved in her music. Keri chose to leave. He came back after they broke up. By then, black radio was dying. It's hard to promote when no one is playing your music. Did you even listen to the video?
jilesnstyle Does it makes a difference? Music today aren’t being promoted unless you have the money to promote it. At lease they became legends.
ME-Tube Your Space! It does when you're presenting probabilities as facts. I was responding to that.
Mint Condition are not legends.
You don’t have to hurt no more is my forever jam
My favorite song too. Smile
I LOVE that beautiful video by Mint Condition called "Nothing Left To Say"
It's just PERFECT!!
4:17 is when they talked about Keri Lewis
Thanks
Kerri Lewis was a big loss to Mint Condition. They still make good records but with him they made GREAT records.
I disagree - "nothing left to say" is one of their biggest records, when they perform it live they get a crazy response, especially at the essence music festivals. "Believe in us" has over 1 million streams and views online too...These were recorded well after keri left the group.
pj w I think the track so fine is amazing it's starts with such a beautiful lady the kind you find in a dream
waynesworldizm After Kerri left things changed but not because he left. The industry changed and the budgets they had dropped significantly. That was more of a factor than one member leaving.
Mickel Smickle. Yeah and a beautiful man too which is the man who is talking in this damn video he Stokely SO FINE AS HELL Williams.
I agree, and that Mint sound isn't there without him. They know it as well. And i'm even skeptical about listening to Stokley's solo album as well.
Favorite Group Ever💗💗💗 This group is the definition of Real Music! The Best Group Ever!!!
Seeing this interview ,got to go to storage and get my cd so I can blast you send me swinging in my truck
Love M.C fan since first CD...Stokley WOW sooo handsome
I hope they all reunited and do more music together again RESPECT TO mint condition
Yes, Kerri was right to protect his marriage; but was he right to leave his steady job without securing another job? "What kind of man..." man does that? 🎼🎤🎵🎶
I really lol at this comment 😂😂😂
A man running after a woman instead of running with her is who did that. You do what you ARE. One could tell by the wedding that it was all for show. Corporate sponsors! WTH. Oh well. Did they get their investment back when it failed? Not a TB fan.
@@alexisstewart572 Stokeley kept it classy. Good brother!

MegaBISP 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Kerri got a new hustle that pays well aka Toni Braxton's baby daddy (child support) and former "house husband". Sure he was able to save up some mad money while married, women do it all the time when they marry rich.
Kerri never had custody of those children and they been divorced.
She had to pay him alimony for several years though.
Why is he comparing Mint Condition with Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5. I can't believe Stokley said that.
FYI - Michael Jackson decided to do his own thing when the brothers didn't want to tour anymore because they got married and wanted to do something different. they still toured but then they didn't care as much.

Uh, NOT!
This dude gives a boring interview
