Bomani Armah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Armah achieved popularity via the MySpace-released 2007 single 'Read A Book.' The song admonishes listeners to read books, use deodorant, and brush their teeth, in a satire of crunk-style songs which advocate a more 'gangsta' lifestyle, set to a loop of an excerpt from Beethoven's Symphony No.5. Success of the single grew when it was used as the topic of a short animated film which aired on BET's The 5ive. Animated by Six Point Harness Studios, the video features stylized cartoon stereotypes who are directed (often by force) to carry out the advice presented in the lyrics of 'Read a Book' by a crunk rapper."
