This makes me want to be hardcore. Minnie was hardcore and she says in this video that many can replace her, but that's not true.

Why is interest in this video as intense in Tanzania, as it is in the U.S.?

It's been a long time since we've spent time together Minnie, but you have always been a major influence on me. . so glad i was able to spend time with you back in the day. . sure love you, always fun, always seriously hard working and dedicated to our people.

Dear Minnie, you were an inspiration and always a lot of fun. The only thing bigger than your smile was your heart.
