MySQL equal to X and greater than Y

Question

Having ones of those moments..

Basically all I want to do is say

SELECT * FROM gg_Crates WHERE minutes...

equal -1 AND also bring back result for where minutes is greater than or equal to X

X is a variable so the results will always bring back the -1 as well as anything greater than X

Answer 1

How about this:

SELECT * FROM gg_Crates 
  WHERE minutes = -1 
     OR minutes >= X

Answer 2

You can also try this query,

SELECT * FROM gg_Crates WHERE minutes = -1 
UNION
SELECT * FROM gg_Crates WHERE minutes >= X
