Query: Loosing that Mint originality...

A long-term Mint fan, I was displeased with this one. Mint Condition seems to be taking the generic hip-hop route that many other R&B bands are selling out to. Gone are the salsy interludes that show just how well this band can jam--they are replaced with electronic hip-hop loops. A handful of the songs retain Mint's original groove, but the majority attempt to break into the mainstream by emulating music that's been prooven to sell records...
