Watch an Awesome Rap Video Tribute to ‘Mad Men’

Are you sick of talking about Kreayshawn? Hey, so are we! Let’s forget about her for a few minutes while we meet Kellee Maize, a Pittsburgh rapper who’s been rhyming since age nine and who espouses some pretty laudable ideals. Her new song, “Mad Humans,” prominently samples the theme from Mad Men, and the video features Maize and a small army of women that look like we imagine Joan Harris might after her first consciousness-raising session. Maize definitely wears her politics on her sleeve, spitting lyrics like “puttin’ the patriarchy to bed” and including shots of Don Draper types making out in the boardroom. Watch the video after the jump, and download the song for free (in exchange for a tweet) here.

[...] LOVE! Rapper Kellee Maize sampled the “Mad Men” theme song for a song called “Mad Humans.” It’s sorta all about feminism: “Puttin’ the patriarchy to bed / yeah, you heard right, that’s what I said!” Maize is rolling deep with ’60s housewives wearing strings of pearls and vacant stares. Just wait till the girls from the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce typing pool see this. [Vimeo via Flavorwire] [...]
