Ugandan President to Release Rap Album

Which world leader has the dopest rhymes?  Well, if I knew what that meant, I might be able to tell you.  Either way, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni will likely put his hat in the ring.

Acknowledging a rap single that became a "smash hit" in Uganda, President Museveni has stated that after upcoming elections in the country that he may release an entire album of his raps.  "I was very happy with the reaction of the youth because that means they are very thirsty for the music of their ancestors," the 67-year-old Museveni stated in a news conference on Friday.

The leader, nicknamed "M7", performed two children's folk chants from his birthplace in Western Uganda at several election rallies over the last few months -- "Naatema akati" (I cut a stick) and "Mp'enkoni" (Give me the stick). 

Record producers then mixed the performances with hip-hop beats and audio of Museveni talking to the crowd about a genre of music that he said was new to him. 

"Today these young people taught me about this 'rap'. I was not following what they were saying. Well, I can even give you some rap myself," he says, before launching into a rhythmic rendition of the chants in his distinctive gravelly voice.
