My kids have known this always. My wife always sides with them. So she does too. I denied it for a long time and pretended to love it. But today I am announcing it. I do not understand rap.“Rap is a way of life bro’. Wanna rap? You gotcha live like us - the ghetto clothes. You gotta dress right … like a gangsta. Give attitoood and you’ll get it.”, the guy offered me the first AHA experience about Rap.
He walks in to your office and in a move that has clearly been learnt from hours of watching soap operas. He whips out his resignation letter and hands it over to you. Your heart skips a beat.

Here is the person for whom you went out on a limb and got an extra bonus payout and not to forget the schmoozing time with the big cheese that you spent highlighting this team member's achievements.
