Andrew E., real name Andrew Ford Valentino Espiritu (born July 30, 1967), is a Filipino rapper and actor who rose to popularity in The '90s and Turn of the Millennium. He is known for releasing, among others, a lot of rather comedic Bawdy Rap Songs. He also founded Dongalo Wreckords (named after his birthplace of Don Galo, Paranaque City), which he uses to launch the careers of aspiring Filipino rappers, one of them being the pop-rap collective Salbakuta.

Lampshade Hanging: "Ang Bastos Daw" on the perception that most of his songs are "bastos" (perverted).

Gratuitous Japanese: He briefly stayed in Japan from 1998-2000, and even released a song called "Bakajanai" ("Not a Fool"), which is about the misfortunes of a tourist in Tokyo.

Abhorrent Admirer: Sort of. "Humanap Ka ng Panget" ("Find an Ugly Partner") actually sells the trope as a practical decision, reasoning that pretty girls (or guys) will eventually dump you for someone else, but ugly people are more faithful—to the point of caring for you in some cases! The music video for "Sinabmarine" has Andrew seeing Olive as this, somehow trying to get away from her advances, even if she actually looks pretty attractive.

comment
Moral Guardians: "Ang Bastos Daw" has Andrew dissing conservative elements that attempt to ban sales of his albums in many Philippine cities on the pretext of them being Dirty Rap.note He name-drops the cities of Baguio, Dagupan and Cebu; interestingly, the latter two cities are home to influential, conservative Roman Catholic archdioceses, and in an overwhelmingly Catholic country, their bishops are among the most politically powerful, or at least the most vocal about their conservatism.

Uptown Girl: The objects of some of Andrew E.'s songs. "Sinabmarine", for example, details him meeting a rich subdivision girl named Olive (and then of course them getting on with the action).

Shout-Out
 Andrew E. (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out / Sampled Up: invokedSamples from several well-known foreign songs. "Banyo Queen" riffs off of "Stand by Me". And "Honey" riffs off of "Talking In Your Sleep" by The Romantics. "Andrew Ford Medina" is clearly based on the "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone Lōc. "Humanap Ka ng Panget" is basically a translated version of "Find an Ugly Woman". "Sinabmarine" was based on "Yellow Submarine". It doesn't use the exact same chord progression, but roughly the same beats, and the parodised lyrics bear it out:

Subverted Kids' Show: The Sesame Street ripoff in the background of the "Pink Palaka" video, along with the eponymous "Pink Palaka" (Pink Frog—likely an Unusual Euphemism for lady parts) visually represented as a Kermit parody.

Unusual Euphemism
 Andrew E. (Music) / int_d848560f
comment
Unusual Euphemism: "Pink Palaka". It's strongly implied that by "palaka" (the Tagalog for "frog"), Andrew's really referring to lady parts. "Honey" has him referring to private parts of both sexes as pictures. In "Sinabmarine", the word chorizo (a Spanish sausage) is given the same dirty connotation as "wiener" in the Anglophone West.

Intercourse with You: In this case, not usually with the presumed listener, but a lot of Andrew's raps are about him, well, getting some action with random girls he happens to meet, and he's telling the story to the listener afterward.

Depraved Kids' Show Host: The video for "Pink Palaka" ("Pink Frog") features a rather dirty ripoff of Sesame Street, hosted by a hot girl named Jaycee who does a number of rather suggestive sexy dances whenever the video cuts to her.

Dirty Rap: Many of his Bawdy Songs qualify. Though this being the Philippines, it's a bit Lighter and Softer, sounds less aggressive, and is treated more comedically, than typical Western examples.
