That you can't worry about what the next man is doing. As long as you have a plan and stick to it all that matters is that folk are contributing. If they are helping alot or alittle is up to them, but anything helps.

Now, I personally don't know how much the sista is doing, but to hate on her for what you BELIEVE what she is doing to be small is just childish.

How u know what's going on behind closed doors?

I do know this. For ME? Her music is part of the reason why I was even active in College. When I left for school in '95 I was in a place where I wasn't really certain about what I was about and to hear somone talking about shit in a way that (even know I still know very little about the math, and 5% lingo) SPOKE to me? That shit made all the damn difference. I thought I was alone in that regard. I was like, oh shit. OTHER people think like that.

That shit was powerful to me and prolly to countless others. IMO that in and of itself is ministry.
