    Two Crazy Things about this.
    1. She is reading the lyrics. True professional indeed.
    2. She still sounds just like this in 2023

      @@CeliniacForLife An anointing is a gift. Some gifts are not what we "normally" consider an anointing. Hip Hop has touched millions of people who felt they did not a voice until rap (Hip Hop) gave them a voice; all the way from the ghettos to the jail cells to black millionaires real black stories and experiences were being told from incredibly talented men and women in hip hop culture. That is a work of God; an anointing. All gifts and all walks of life matter not just the gospel and what we are "used to". 😆😆😆😄😄
