Pharoah is known for his Saturday Night Live impression of her husband President Barack Obama. 
The video was part of Mrs. Obama's new 'Better Make Room' campaign to provide teens with the resources they need to pursue higher education. 
The video is a funny, if slightly cringeworthy, send-up of thecelebrity culture that Obama has said she wants to turn on itshead to try to get more American kids thinking about highereducation.
The premise of the song is that Obama and Pharoah are explaining to two undecided young people why they should attend college after graduating from high school.  
In addition to rapping in front of the White House, the video features cuts of the First Lady laying down her vocals into a microphone while holding a headset up to her ear.
