Shout out to the crew over at Dollar Van Demos. I've been checking their videos for a while and that has lead to me checking out many dope artists featured in them. What they do is a fresh concept. And what's even a bit fresher, the Dollar Van is being featured in a new series of commercials for McDonald's plugging their new breakfast dollar menu. Definitely a good look. Check out the behind the scenes look featuring WordSpit, Joya Bravo, and the creator of Dollar Van Demos, Joe. Also check out Joya Bravo's McDonald's spot.

I caught this video from the good folks over at SoulCulture via email. Check it out."When Blu and Ta’Raach came to London in 2008, SoulCulture swung by their hotel room to record this conversation piece in which Blu responds to those who want another Below The Heavens from him, explains a little about his production alter-ego GODLee Barnes, and discusses the current climate for releasing music."

What I'm Watching....Mos Def - History featuring Talib Kweli
Two of the illest MCs in the game get together for the umpteenth time to hit you with a track off Mos Def's Ecstatic album. I always liked black and white videos for some reason. Seems really artistic and mysterious.

When She Speaks, You Listen: Tha Lady Blogga "Chick Rules"
Let me just say that I am glad to be here with you guys for another decade.
As the New Year came in, I sat pondering what in the hell I was going to write about. I knew what I didn’t want to write about but what I wanted to address, was a mystery.
So I started thinking about my favorite topic… And here’s what I came up with.
I am usually roasting the dudes on this one but ladies, this one is for you. Chances are if you get mad at this post, it probably applies to you…
Ladies, for 2010, I’m going to need you to step your game up. Develop some self- respect and get your self-esteem levels on high. Some of y’all are out there giving us a bad name and I am quite sick of it. Being a man’s groupie, mistress, sidechick, arm piece… any thing less than his woman in 2010… is unacceptable. Why would you settle for something someone else has? Are you that incapable of getting your own? It kills me to listen to women talk about how they are excited that they are sleeping with another woman’s man. What kind of slore are you? There are a bevy of single men on this planet and you have to use someone else’s?? Aside from the fact that the disease count is ridiculous, doesn’t it make you feel less of a woman? I now I would. I deserve nothing but a man’s 100%, how could you be happy with 30% on a Sunday?
Oh and for you women that have men but feel the need to occupy another, your day is coming too. You have a man. Guaranteed, the same bullshit you are doing to this man, some chick is doing with your man, probably better though. If you have a man, why is it necessary to call someone else’s? You don’t need to discuss your problems with him. Don’t you have friends for that? And I’m sorry but if you had a guy friend and he has a girlfriend or is married, you need to fall back a little bit. Not disappear but fall back. If you are texting or calling him at all hours of the night, probably when his wife or girlfriend is asleep or not around, you are in complete violation. If you are emailing him some shit that you wouldn’t want anyone to see, you are in complete violation.
And please, if you are one of those women that like to snuggle up to someone’s man when their woman isn’t around, but act incognegro when she is, you are on my shit list. I actually had to check a chick on this back in High School and it has been a pet peeve ever since. She would kiss my then-boyfriend hello when I wasn’t around, but if I was with him she would just say hi. That urked my nerve. At the end of the day, it is about respecting me and my position. I have seen women throw their ass in a man’s face when his woman wasn’t around but then do the opposite when they are. Ladies, I don’t care how friendly you are with someone’s husband/boyfriend, you need to respect their woman’s space first.
And men, if you are in a relationship but don’t care enough to let the woman you’re trying to holla at know this, then you deserve what’s coming to you when you get caught.
Smooches…

I was talking about this dude earlier and decided to throw up one of his joints as a late edition Music Monday! Truth be told, I use to dig his music. Apparently he still tours and what not but with other white R&B dudes taking all the spotlight (*coughs* Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake *coughs*) I haven't noticed. Well, enjoy this joint and happy late Monday!Follow the madness: twitter.com/madbloggers
