I find this article very amusing.

Minister Mentor Lee proves he can reach out to today’s youth with the release of a hip-hop rap album, under his stage name, Em’n’em.

“Some people have suggested that I am increasingly out of touch with the aspirations of the young people of today,” said Mr. Lee, who was recently bestowed the title of ‘Minister Mentor’ after the handover of the Prime Ministership to his son. “So I gotta knuckle up and prove to these niggaz that there ain’t no diggety that me and my homies, we still be down wid it an’ shit, you know what I’m sayin’, son?”

The album, “My Name Is (MM Lee)” is the first hip-hop album to be made compulsorily examinable for the GCE ‘O’ Levels, and its first single, “The Real MM Lee”, has been hailed by the State’s Times music reviewer as “more chillin’ than the air-con at Whitley Road Detention Centre.”

For our readers’ edification, we are pleased to excerpt some lyrics:

THE REAL MM LEE
Em’n’em’ (Temasek Records, 2004)

Hi! My name is... (what?) My name is... (who?)
My name is... {scratches} Harry Lee
Hi! My name is... (huh?) My name is... (what?)
But call me... {scratches} MM Lee!
Ahem. Excuse me!
Can I have the attention of the class for o­ne second?

May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
For MM Lee will you please stand up?
I repeat, for MM Lee, will you please stand up?
Or else you’re gonna have a problem here...

Y'all act like you never seen a minister mentor before
But I been here for years, in this city of Singapore
Which I’m gonna rule till I’m a hundred and four or more
I’m gonna make a prediction, that whether or not there’s an election (Ahh!)
I’m going to return just like before
Hey, wait, no way, don’t ji seow me
He didn’t just say that, did he?
What about his son Little PM Lee? So what about him?
Who’s your daddy? I said, who’s your daddy? (Ha ha!)
Your daddy - he’s Em’n’em! (Chigga chigga chigga)
Harry Lee, you can’t eject me
Look at me, walkin’ around, grabbin’ them votes
Suin’ the pants of you-know-who!
Yeah, and you could be next too!
Some folks, they say they don’t like my views
But so what? It’s your citizen’s right to choose
And you folks, you just refuse to let me lose
So you ain’t got no right to sing the blues
My ass is o­n your lips, my ass is o­n your lips
So pucker up and give me a big wet kiss
That’s the message I want to deliver to all you kids
In my hood, the game’s played like this
Of course you all know that’s how it is
By the time you hit Sec 4
And you want cash to go to the department store
You know you got to play my game, if you want more of the same
It’s all planned out for you like a blueprint
You better listen close and get the hint
Follow it, or your face will bear my shoeprint (Owww!)
Careful now, don’t be tempted to rock the boat
You don’t want someone to come slit your throat
I don’t mean to brag
But all you niggaz be flyin’ my flag

Chorus:

‘Cause I’m Harry Lee,
Yes, I’m the real Lee
All the MPs, they’re just imitatin’
So for me, ol’ MM Lee, won’t you please stand up
Please stand up!
Please stand up!
Don’t you dare say I’m shady
Because I’m si beh steady
So for me, ol’ MM Lee, won’t you please stand up
Please stand up!
Please stand up!

Etc.
