A nerdy wordsmith has abandoned his career as an English teacher to become a full time RAPPER. Suit wearing Mark Grist, 30, has made the move after he became an internet sensation when he was filmed "annihilating" a student in a rap battle. In the clip the hip hop wannabe can be seen using his superior linguistic skills to demolish 17-year-old rapper MC Blizzard. Now Mark, from Manchester, has made the decision to swap Shakespeare and Chaucer for Snoop Dog, 50 Cent and Dr Dre.
