Music video

Though the group has yet to release a music video for the song, an uncommissioned video was produced by a director under the name of Vashtie. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xz8FXgLpI4 va$htie - "Us Placers" by Lupe, Kanye & Pharrell (CRS)] ] The music video features child impersonators standing respectively in for Lupe, Kanye, Pharrell, and even Thom Yorke who act out scenes described in the song's lyrics. Despite its low-budget, unofficial nature, the video was very well-received, garnering nearly one million views on YouTube alone. It has since gone on to have caught the attention of Kanye West, who expressed his affinity by posting the video up on his official blog.
