Michelle Obama joins SNL’s Jay Pharoah to rap about going to college — VIDEO

WASHINGTON — First lady Michelle Obama joined “Saturday Night Live” star Jay Pharoah in the “Go to College” comedy rap music video released by College Humor in an effort to raise awareness about the importance of a college education.

The video is filmed throughout the White House, as FLOTUS sings and raps with Pharoah.

“South side Chicago we all know we had to do overtime every night to make it tomorrow and everyone could really make their dream true,” FLOTUS raps. “Hey kid, listening in Michigan that could be you.”

The video is part of the “Better Make Room” campaign launched by the first lady’s Reach Higher Initiative targeting 14-19-year-olds “to inspire every student in America to take charge of their future by completing their education past high school, whether at a professional training program, a community college, or a four-year college or university.”

While this may be the first lady’s first full-on rap debut, Obama is no stranger to singing and dancing.

Noting her talents, famed Barack Obama impersonator and YouTube star Iman Crosson — known by his stage name Alphacat — asked FLOTUS “How many calories do you burn every time you ‘turn up’?!”

The first lady responded with a Vine of her own posted by the White House that went viral.

Holding up an actual turnip, the first lady bobs her head to Lil Jon’s hit “Turn Down for What” and says “Turnip for what?” referencing the famous lyrics.
