While teaching college students who only know Puff Daddy because of his sons and Jermaine Dupri because of the Rap Game tv show, I realized I'm the Black version of Jack Black in School of Rock.

If you're watching Rae vs Ghost, then you know what the music sounds like in my head when I walk around at night.
