Are you a “NEVER WAS” in the Rap game?

Are you still living in your Grandmomma’s house?

Have no Fear you DEA is looking for you! That’s right the DEA needs people to translate languages for them and that include EBONICS so they can keep up with the slang on the streets.

According to some job postings on the DEA website, the DEA is looking for people who’s duties would include “monitoring varying numbers of communications intercepts during any given shift” and then providing “reliable and accurate transcriptions.”

An agency official, said there is nothing “racial” about the job, and described white rapper Eminem as “one of the best speakers of Ebonics there ever was.”

“There are words that people use that I never used,” the official said. “It’s a dialect that certain people use, and we see a need for it.”

The DEA also sees a need for linguists who speak scores of other languages and dialects, including Jamaican Patois. The DEA is looking to hiring such linguists too.

So if your in your 30’s & 40’s please give up on trying to be a RAP STAR and get a real job, cuz it’s about time your parents and grandparents to live alone…..
