Michelle Obama Releasing Rap Album ft Dr. Oz

-

"Songs for a Healthier America" will promote the first lady's focus on healthy habits.

The First Lady of the United States is about to become the First Lady of hip-hop.
Michelle Obama has teamed up with Partnership for a Healthy America on a rap album called "Songs for a Healthier America!
Obama does actually not sing on the album, but she does make cameos in the form of spoken word pieces. But don't be disappointed, because Dr. Oz does rap on one track, entitled, "Everybody," which also features Doug E. Fresh and Jordin Sparks.
The upcoming 19-track CD supports her "Let's Move" anti-childhood obesity campaign. 

Jay-Z’s much anticipated album dropped last month and it was pretty good. Now, America is waiting, watching closely for the next big rap album -- first lady Michelle Obama’s.

The first lady is debuting the Songs for a Healthier America album to spread the word about getting active. The album will include songs like, 
“U R What You Eat”, 
“Veggie Luv”,
 “We Like Vegetables”, and “Get Up Sit Up.”

No, Michelle Obama isn't trading formal speeches for informal rap battles, but she did recruit some big names for the album.

“Everybody. Tell somebody. It’s your body. Come on.”

“Hey Dr. Oz.”

“What’s up Doctor O?”

“Time to get involved, let the whole world know.”

“Just the other day, they see me on the show. Didn't know I had style, didn't know I had flow.” And there’s “Hip Hop FEET” with DMC and Artie Green.

“This is the song that we call ‘Go’. Finding Your Energy Thresholds. Stop moving so slow, cause slow’s too low. But, if you’re moving too fast, I gotta say whoa.”

A writer for The Daily Beast says --

-- when Beyonce released “Move Your Body” in 2011 to promote the launching of Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign.

You can make your own judgement about the rap videos, but a re-focused effort on America’s obesity problem seems to be making a dent.

The U.S. recently fell out of the top spot as the world’s fattest country, getting inched out by Mexico. Nearly 32.8% of Mexico’s adults are clinically obese, compared to 31.8% in the U.S. (Via New York Daily News)


Still, there’s currently no release date for the album and no word yet if President Barack Obama, who has some singing chops of his own, will make the cut.
The album hits the streets next month. Watch the video for "Everybody," 
Checkout Jordin Sparks, Doug E. Fresh, Dr. Oz, Ryan Beatty and the Hip Hop MD....and definitely don't turn away until Dr. Oz's verse:

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Take a tour of Tyler Perry's massive new studio on a former Army base in Atlanta, Georgia

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
