"Us Placers" by K.West, Lupe, Pharell, & Yorke
Beautiful song. Seeing this video is the first time I heard it... but it's from Kanye West's "Can't Tell Me Nothing" Mixtape. I love how the haunting production complements Yorke's (of Radiohead) voice. This video was done by a fan named Va$htie. She dug the song and decided to do a music video for it with some friends. Obviously she has some directing experience because the video is clean and professional. Using child stand-ins was a brilliant way to skirt around the lack of musical artist involvement. The kids do a wonderful job and some of them nail the mannerisms of their personalities.Va$htie and co. are getting their well deserved attention. I discovered the video on K.West's Blog (which is finally back to form after months of M.I.A. due to Mr. West mother's tragic death). I'm glad to see Kanye West back in the blogosphere!

the7000club:Pharrell Jr. is awesome. Lupe was nice too. Kanye, though, seems like a future Football player. Decent but way to big for West.-MPB
