Ugandan president's hip hop single a hit

President Yoweri Museveni has released a rap song and video that's become a sensation in Uganda.

He's 65, has been president for more than two decades, and now, he's Uganda's newest rap star.

"You want another rap?" - the song's chorus and name - has supporters dancing wildly.

Museveni has been president since 1986. Uganda holds elections again in February.

The new hit isn't exactly gangsta, though.

It's more poor-African-farmer than Straight Outta Compton.

The rap's lyrics have Museveni turning millet into a hen, into an egg, eventually into a cow and then a wife.

Political analysts expect Museveni's new rapping skills to win him more votes, especially among the young.
