Run DMC to guest star on the most important album ever

[Sousa]

Michelle Obama is releasing a hip hop album. And, no, you wont hear her dropping any rhymes.

In her continuing efforts to fight childhood obesity through her Lets Move! campaign, the First Lady has partnered with Partnership for a Healthier America and the Hip Hop Public Health Foundation to release a 19-song compilation album to encourage kids to exercise and make healthy food choices.

Artists like Run DMC, Ashanti, Doug E. Fresh, Monifah and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks are all contributing their vocal talents to the album, which is called Songs for a Healthier America. Also featured on the album are Matisyahu, Ariana Grande and Blink-182′s Travis Barker, working under the moniker Salad Bar. The New York Knicks Iman Schumpert and Nils Lofgren of Bruce Springsteens E Street Band also contribute.

The album features tracks with names like We Like Vegetables, Veggie Luv, Get Up Sit Up and U R What You Eat, all designed to get kids thinking about health and diet. Ten music videos are set to be released with the album and will be distributed to schools in New York City, with other major cities to follow.

While Mrs. Obama isnt rapping on the record, she will appear in videos for the albums singles, the first of which is out now. Watch the video for Everybody featuring Jordin Sparks, Doug E. Fresh, Dr. Oz, the Hip Hop Doc and an appearance by the First Lady:

I can feel myself getting less fat already.

I thought this was gonna be about a HHH album.

Ann album featuring Ashanti would certainly have been big news in 2001.

[DJ Ice]

Having Iman Shumpert rapping on this is just a really, really bad idea..

[GhostMachine]

Get some Eric B and Rakim and maybe some Big Daddy Kane on that shit!

Well at least she's up for putting herself out there and trying something.
