Cultural evolution turns Mao into a party rapper


In a desperate appeal to China's fashionable youth, the Chinese Communist Party has approved the repackaging of Mao Tse-tung as a rap artist.

Mao's favourite exhortation - the Two Musts - is to be set to music and released alongside pop versions of all the Great Helmsman's old slogans, such as The East is Red and Serve the People.

The rap album to honour the 110th anniversary of Mao's birth next month follows another record, A Red Sun, released to mark his centenary.

The Beijing Times said yesterday: "Ten years ago, the album A Red Sun brought a crimson tide of songs rushing through our music industry. This year, the China Record Company has finished the production of the powerfully red Mao Tse-tung and Us."

Must #1: To preserve the ideology of plain lizzle and hard strizzle.
Must #2: To practice the modest virtue of of bizzle.

There's also a duet with Jay-Z about the Second Five Year Plan.

I'd buy it.

I wouldn't ever take it out of the box, however. It just sounds like something a museum would want to buy off me.

Does anyone know somewhere I could order it?

I mean, there are just some things one can't miss out on.

I wonder if they'll ship them out here to the Westerm Hemisphere... lol.

I'm still waiting for Beyonce Knowles's Hip Hopera of the Communist Manifesto.

I'm already a big fan of Communist propaganda and Chinese rap. Finally my dream has been realized.

I guess it only makes sense. Capitalism already employs popular music to sell products and politics. Why shouldn't communism get in on the act? In fact, it's probably the lack of any good commie pop songs (and no, I'll count neither Bob Dylan nor Bruce Springsteen) that hurt the Soviet empire's market share.

Mike.

I'm already in the studio with my new collaboration Funky Fresh Fidel Castro with his former redder than red counterpart Nikita "neva nice" Krushev with their new hit single making the rounds on the often underrated mixtape scene on the streets of Moscow.
