Music Video
Though the group has yet to release a music video for the "Us Placers", an non-commissioned video was produced by music video director Va$htie. The video features ten-year-old child impersonators standing respectively in for Lupe, Kanye, Pharrell, and Thom Yorke. They illustrate the imagery described in the song's lyrics and hold up cue cards in reference to Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues". Despite its "zero-budget," unofficial nature, the music video was very well received, garnering well over two 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.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
