In all honesty, I myself can sing, taught myself listening to my OWN VOICE over Casio speakers on my keyboard. And I actually can sound pretty good singing other artist's songs, but just trying to sing a Mint Condition song, like Pretty Brown Eyes? Ayo, believe me when I tell you, Stokley Williams has NO RIVAL singing-wise. I am HARD PRESSED to name a male vocalist who has his incredible range. The competition is none with Stokley.

Migos is a rap group. A band has a bass player, Guitar player, Keys, Sax, etc.. The whole nine. Me being musician myself, I can tell you that there are definitely black bands and black musicians never went away. They are either playing Neo-Soul lounges in your local city, Cruises, or in the church. The problem is that White Owned record labels have a monopoly on Black music and refuse to sign actual Black bands.
@peaktopeaksound
@peaktopeaksound 7 лет назад
This is why Mint Condition have always been underrated, despite them making relevant music..White owned labels that whore out Black Culture have turned away from signing and pushing black bands in all shapes and forms.

I would really like to hear him do an entire album by himself. I am beyond inspired by Mint condition and their talent /longevity....He seems to be very funny also as he had me laughing a lot....thanks Stokley!

Prince is GOAT! Straight like that! He tried to wake us up. From writing slave on his face to the lotus album which represents the spiritual awakening that opens the crown chakra to decode the secrets of the world. Then he did the THIRD EYE GIRL BAND! He was trying to tell us to pay attention to our temples and how they work. Many of us don’t know what the temple (body) can do. We have more then one body. We have seven light bodies. When he did purple rain I believe he was saying let purple (the color of the crown chakra) reign as in rule. Stop letting out red corvette (root chakra) drive our life’s decisions. Yes he was talking about a woman but he was an expert in double speak, making things mean several things depending on the level of the person who’s listening. The cherry moon was a heads up to the blood moon tetrads we had. Which is very rare! Let’s go crazy: he was telling us to stop being assimilated. Do what resonates and feels good to u. F what other ppl think. Be who u are at all times. He also warned us about 9/11. Saying “bin laden getting ready to bomb”! He was an esoteric writer like Shakespeare mixed with Beethoven and Mozart! That’s why he dressed the way he did. He came to me in a dream before he died. I won’t go into what happened here. But let’s just say, he had prepared for his transition to the higher dimension! He ain’t dead. He came alive when he left he’ll on earth !

PR does represents the Purple Crown Chakra raining down on you. Godlike infinite timeless depth. Also the lotus flower is connected to the number 7 in numerology, with Prince being a number 7 Gemini (interview with his photographer confirms his love of numerology ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tMHmWE1EqDc.html). I never picked up on the red corvette root chakra link, but it makes complete sense given his use of the purple crown chakra on the same album, PR. He was indeed an expert in esoteric doublespeak, which the elite uses to fool the masses. From the moment he wrote SLAVE (Agenda 21) on the side of his face, he became a whistleblower of sorts, warning the public of upcoming changes to public policy & market strategy etc. His release of the song Crystal Ball in 1998 (originally made in 1986) is his warning of the upcoming 'War on Terror". Note that the Bin Laden riff was done around this time too! P was the most bootlegged artist in the world. Starship Troopers was also released around this time (see rob agers analysis of this).

Also note Prince sampling Ancient Egypt's golden age with Emancipation. There's a lot to uncover from that period. Pay attention to his interview from that time period. The one where he said him and mayte met in a past life in Egypt. Doublespeak! And how he was inspired by a rebel egyptian king that went against the grain. His way of reasoning his actions during this time.

thats crazy because there’s this deeply spiritual woman I follow who has a dense backround with yogis and such. she said prince came to her in a dream before he transitioned and said he was prepared or something like that too

What he said about genius being a diff breed, seeing world before we do, etc. Yes, that was Prince. Just on whole other level. He was probably too deep for himself at times...lol! He was obviously human but very special and extraordinary. It's hard watching these vids now that we actually can, but he is not around. Love him and miss him!

I was playing a gig in Phoenix a few years ago and in walks Micky Free, (I had no idea who he was but he looked like a rockstar). He complimented us and bought the band a round - he told me his name and I instantly knew him from the Charlie Murphy story. After a bit I said “I gotta ask” ... without any hesitation he cut me off mid sentence and said “Yes, it’s true! All of it - even the pancakes!” He was super cool to talk to and he gave me his card with an actual phone number and email - a real down to earth person. That was my only Prince moment - true story!

I was a 18 year old kid at that Rolling Stones Tour in LA 1981 when Prince was booed off of the stage. He was the opening act which included J Geils & George Thorogood and we didn't know who he was. I remember people were throwing their shoes at him till he quit! He left halfway through his 3rd song but I remember thinking, He HAD to be Someone to open for The Rolling Stones... I mean how do you get a gig like that? Fast forward a little more than one year later and he releases his 1999 Album, with Little Red Corvette, Delirious, and the title track.. and then after that followed it up with the Purple Rain album. I Still put his Super Bowl performance as one of the best ever.. (along with U2's post 911 Super Bowl show). If you haven't seen his performance..check it on RU-vid.. Best live performance of Purple Rain EVER.. and done in the falling Miami rain.

Met Stokely and Mint Condition a few times between 1992-1996... My sister from Minneapolis dated ( James Popeye Greer ) their Manager and also Co-Engineer for Jimmy & Terry @ Flyte Time Studios, so I got to hang out alot at concerts backstage and in their Hotel room... They were so Awesome Live and Stokely was The Man on Vocals and Drums... What tripped me out was seeing The Time drummer ( Jellybean Johnson ) playing Rhythm Guitar with Mint Condition on a few shows... And when Stokely wasn't playing, Chris Dave played drums and later joined the band ( he a badd boy too )... Those were some of the best years of my life... I really thought I was the sh## back then...

He lived in the dual nature of the zodiac and as a Gemini ♊ myself, I totally understand that shite. _Prince_ is my Muse! He is my mentor indeed and growing up listening to him, made it easy to free the _Real_ me, not what the world wanted to see. Hands down, he's my favorite genius 💝👏💯😊
