CRS - Us Placers

[SaidaE6]

One of my favorite songs

[TBDM214]

if you put all three of the verse together. it makes perfect sense. and this is why i love REAL hip-hop. it has meaning.

[nateju1727]

wrecking the replay button

[MissUmiLove]

This makes me feel inspired!

[kidkidkid123]

Every song that samples Radiohead is soooooooooo good.

Hey everyone, I think I found the secret to making an awesome rap song!!

[vjacobo89]

@kidkidkid123 i have bad news for you crs sampled thom yorke not his band, radiohead still good though

[thegreathegmoney]

That "Or tryin' to keep that balance after MTV, that's a Real World Challenge" was amazing.

[1LIFEtoWIN]

This obviously the work of lupe he loves radiohead so of corse he would get a hook from their singer and get kanye and Pharrel to drop some verses I really know why ppl want a CRS Album

[44standaman]

i still cant believe lupe produced this......its sooo classy

[skylineiiigtr]

@44standaman This isn't his song. Thom Yorke made it.

[theblessedprince]

kanyes part is the best

[44standaman]

@theblessedprince it really is!!!

[SAVXD]

One Of My Favorites Of All Time.

[evanmwstuart]

Everyone knows pharrell killed this track... Right... his verse is way better than everyone elses

[jchadavoine]

Kanye, Lupe, Big Sean, j.Cole, Wale, and a few others have a unique style/flow that is sick..! Thumbs up if you agree!

[alan151769]

Love this song!!!

[pbeez]

lmao how'd you find a pic of thom yorke with his collar popped as if he was part of this crew?

[WhiteSkinnyKid]

Thom Yorke woud never ACTUALLY join CRS. He's a musical genius and Radiohead is my favorite band of all time, but the dude is a TOTAL asshole... And him and Kanye already "fought" at the Grammys.

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@WhiteSkinnyKid he aint an asshole hes just unentusiastic about everything people think hes being an asshole bt he just being his old lazy self. he dnt like being famous either

[WhiteSkinnyKid]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 No, I love the man to death, but he is an asshole. He is rude and bitter... and a genius

[folred]

I wish kanye wasnt in the song he kills the flow...

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@folred he got the best verse man, u thnk cos someone spits fatser flow and spit more syllabls they are better, kanye is closer to spoken word but his lyrics were better.

[folred]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 hahaha your comment made me lol

whatever you say man...

[flamer4448]

@folred funny enough, he had the shortest verse :P

[zinko10115]

@folred sorta see what u mean

[crackalacka1515]

@N3wEra89

thom yorke is from england... this song would not exist without him.

however, i am from america, so yes. god bless america... and england :)

peace and love people!

[MrHearington]

the more dislikes....... the more, the more, i play this song

[countchunkula]

I wish Thom Yorke was an official CRS member and Jonny Greenwood on guitar.

[razorsharpandonpoint]

@countchunkula hell yeah that would be dope as hell two versatile producers(kanye is a genius when it come to samples) with a great lyricist with thom yorke vocals and johnny greenwood on the guitar ??? that would be insane

[joshuax298]

so sick piano couple backing singers lyrics simple but sick

[PotatoeShinz]

Best beat for their flow imo.

[bubrooske10]

@samuraimonster dang u think dark twisted fantasy was better than graduation it was good but wasn't classic like is others in my opinion

[drummerpants]

@bubrooske10 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is MILES ahead of Graduation

[fontauzzzzzzzz]

kanye killed it!!! the best

[redsoxganAJZ1982]

dear Child Rebel Soldier, we want an album

thanks,

the world

[Bolt646]

ah, before kanye was a huge faggot.

[kurtyfuzzkid]

@Bolt646

ye was never a faggot and still isnt. he makes better music than anyones there is, there should be a top 100 things kanye did instead of top 100 songs because he shows everyone up whenever he releases anything new

[abSOULuteD]

@Bolt646 Do you know what that word means?

[Nashir95]

CRS - Us Placers - Unknown Verse (UK)

LISTEN AND RATEE!!

[DanCho90]

Comparing this trio to the Heats:

Lupe= Wade

Kanye= Lebron

Pharrell= Bosh... if that haha

[RealMadrid1138]

@DanCho90 Don't Compare them to sorry ass Heat.

[DanCho90]

Comparing this trio to the Heats:

Wade= Lupe

Kanye= Lebron

Pharrell= Bosh... if that haha

[RealMadrid1138]

@DanCho90 Heat Are BooBoo Bro.

[KiddHuGe]

amazin track.. B2beef<

[WildAceXXXGBell]

Lupe's voice makes me happy

[kidcudder7]

lupe still doing his thing, kanye went in the wrong direction, pharrell went back to making beats and is with N*E*R*D. so the only one who has really really changed is kanye :(

[SunMoonStars1111]

@kidcudder7 have you heard Kanye's new album? It's incredible!

[SamaraiMonster]

@SunMoonStars1111 his besr work yet this new album.... i thought Graduation would be his best only.... then My Twisted Dark Fantasy came out... WICKED

[DonPBeast16]

@kidcudder7 changed for the better

[JjX101]

THIS TRACK HAS BEEN RAW SINCE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

THEY SHOULD STUCK WITH THE GROUP

THE WOUDVE TOOK OVER

BUT NOW KANYE IS A FUCKBOY DEVIL WORSHIPPER SORRY DIEHARD FANS ITS TRU

WATCH RUNAWAY

THE FULL THING

BUT KANYE IS A FUCKBOY

[KamikazeLive]

I miss the GOOD Kanye West.....

[Windchimer94]

lupe is like...the only MC i rly respect now adays. hes sick and deserves to reconized alot more than what he gets. he IS real.

[PhasersOnFunky]

One of these things is not like the other

[HakeemNicks88]

Lupe is sick. period.

[49ersOwnAll09]

Chicago + California + England = Dope

[halfaday1]

yup the loser video, video of all the new loser,s lol

[SteveOrules447]

Anyone else think Lupe has one of the sickest flows in all of hip-hop?

[RedzTV]

Lupe killed it. Kanye was weak.

[ishereal1991]

damn too bad kanye isnt as good as he use to be. but Lupe is still has the best lyrics in CRS

[bango31]

@ishereal1991 Kanye's new album is one of the best things to happen to music in the last 5 years.

[ishereal1991]

@bango31 anything is better than his last album. that made me want to put acid in my ears. but Lupes album is going to be Amazing. its going to make Kanye look second best once again (:

[bango31]

@ishereal1991 Hahaha I wouldn't take it THAT far. I thought there were some decent tracks. Overall though, I agree...it wasn't his best work. Then again, I also appreciate it for what it was...a dark album written during a dark time in his life.

[gangstabanks88]

Damnnnn... Child rebel Soldier go hard. but nowadays Kanye is a fake ass... pharrell 2

[PwnUser815]

@gangstabanks88 You serious man...Kanye and pharrell dope as fuck!! You heard kanyes new album...amazing!!

Actually better then Lupes The Cool imo...

[gangstabanks88]

@PwnUser815 I already listened Kanyes' album, all the beats are the shit! damnnn. he's a excellent producer, but still a fake ass... his lyrics are very hedonistic... He's part of the mainstream cRap (obviously i'm talking about what his lyrics represent nowadays) Lupe's word is very real.

[Uwanem]

This is dominate with a grp of flawlessness. Compliments each other

[focus2aus]

Yeah wouldn't call this is a sample. IDIOTEQUE is a song written from a sample, that is VASTLY better than the sampled song itself

[tearbear90s]

thats a dope group

kanye need too get back too his dilla iish

lupe always dope though

thom yorke madd niice

[cradleofjohannes]

i'm only gonna give this a thumbs up just cuz of thom yorke...

[PwnUser815]

@cradleofjohannes lol really...wow.

[DarkAngel9587]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[krentistthedentist]

Thom Yorke and Kanye West are two of the most gifted and visionary human beings making music today. Fact.

[dualeddy]

@krentistthedentist Kanye West is a fuck. Fact.

[Greeb17]

@dualeddy Hi Taylor Swift 

[H4rdw00d]

@krentistthedentist thankyou for pointin that out my dark twisted fantasy nov 22.. lets get it

[MALOCHSKATES]

All City Chess Club>Child Rebel Soldier? Idk but they should both release albums.

[KingBlade15]

music for the soul...

[potsterr]

@42darklord nvm just saw your video and got an answer, geek

[42darklord]

@potsterr Dude my point is that this is a Thom Yorke song that they just jacked

[MrSirballer]

@42darklord its called a sample..

[42darklord]

@MrSirballer Actually, Sampling is when you take a piece of a song and then manipulate it to fit in with your song. These people just rapped over a song that they didn't change at all, therefore this is not there song at all

[MrSirballer]

@42darklord If I'm not mistaken, it is illegal to copy a song or even parts of a song without permission. So Thom Yorke was probably honored to have his track collaborated on by these 3 great rappers. And it is "there" (their) song, just over Yorke's track.

[42darklord]

@MrSirballer I very much doubt that Thom Yorke knew about this. And if he did he would definitely not be proud of it. And no, this is not their song. Writing lyrics over someone elses song does not count

[MrSirballer]

@42darklord First off, they didn't just write lyrics, they rapped. Second of all, a song includes a chorus, verses, and the beat. These rappers made the verses (the majority of the song). And it's funny how The Eraser became more popular as did Thom Yorke after this collaboration. :) Oh yeah, and why would he not be proud of this?

[42darklord]

@MrSirballer My point is that all they did is rap over a track that has already been made. They didn't manipulate the song at all. They could have sampled this song in an interesting way to make something NEW. (Also i just hate kanye, he's a self righteous bastard)

[MrSirballer]

@42darklord Agreed about Kanye..respect his rapping but overall he's a douche.

[Tman376]

@42darklord I think being a good producer is sometimes knowing when NOT to change things.

[Oman2020]

Can't wait for an album. I wish Common was in CRS too!

[TheKillerwins]

CRS are Genius

[mizzmodel33]

@42darklord it's called a "cover". this song is off of a mixtape, and if u didnt know, thats what every single artist is known to do on a mixtape. k.

[YaMAnBOOGie]

Lupe Is Saving Hip Hop along With J. Cole.

[frontmoney21]

God, this is a fucking classic.

[SofarOff]

What a way to see the cover of Time

I know that nigga wish he was standing in line

To see it .As if he didn't do it....

wow that line is so powerful. I underestimated pharrell

[42darklord]

Why don't they actually sample the song instead of just rapping over it. I mean Kanye calls himself a good producer, yeah right.

[potsterr]

@42darklord it was lupe fiasco who produced this

[42darklord]

@potsterr What did he produce? This is already a song dumbass

[potsterr]

@42darklord just told you cause u were talking as if kanye "arranged" it.. stop being so fucking hateful, u ugly or something

[gunclap86]

new crs track later on cant wait

[addetakis]

Listen to the original instead for pete's sake!

[DrDoman22]

great rap artists + thom yorke?

YES! :)

[soulmman]

CRS Broke up after stopping work on their album.. Apparently they said they just didn't work together.. But when I listen to this song I beg to differ.

[sgtmeatwhistle]

@soulmman actually, if you read anything from kanye talking about mos def joining kanyes label, G.O.O.D. music, you would know that apparently CRS is still a possibility.

[soulmman]

@sgtmeatwhistle The fuck does that have to do about anything?

Mos def isn't even part of CRS.

[warsuxletsparty1]

@soulmman they never broke up. Don't know your sources, but theres a new song out, called Don't Stop! so they didn't break up.

[Tman376]

@soulmman Where did they say that they didn't work together? All I've been able to find is Lupe flatly saying that they were done in May, and then they came out with a new song just a few days ago for G.O.O.D. Friday.

[sasuke2146]

@Tman376 they song was two years old just release now

[702CitY]

Great lyrical content on this track. I love lupe..I wonder if he'll truly retire. I hope not, or at least I hope that he'll at least be making mixtapes because lyrically, I never get tired of hearing him.

For everyone saying Hip-Hop is dead, go check out the underground world where Hip-Hop is at it's rawest..that's what I did when most songs out couldn't entertain my brain enough with their lame lyricism..but everyone has their own flavor, just that it's not mine :)

[1dmugger1]

underrated song

[RicHimself]

@1dmugger1

Actually it is not underrated. Voted for one of the best Songs in '07, by Rolling Stone Magazine

[imaeniac]

one of the most underrated songs ever.

[frendo123]

why is this not on itunes????

[situationofchaos]

man i wish this song had more bass with a kick drum but its slick anyway

[NaiJorJul]

3 best mainstream rappers in one song?! is that even aloud. now their missing mos def and talib kweli, and maybe some atmosphere. and wowowowowow

[slpayne3]

@NaiJorJul man, you just blew my mind! could you imagine all them collaborating? hopefully they would leave their egos at the door!

[NaiJorJul]

@slpayne3 I know right jizz would be comming out my ears. haha jp but seriously. it would be amazing

[thangQanime]

@NaiJorJul dont forget cudi

[SaSuke7731]

wat duz crs stand for

[Hidaeyo]

@SaSuke7731 Child Rebel Soldiers

[Hidaeyo]

@SaSuke7731 Child Rebel Soldiers

[xXLifeInTheSaddleXx]

@SaSuke7731 child rebel soldier

[PunkFictionProdction]

lol am I the only one here who realizes that Thom Yorke is probably Jesus?

[squarerabbits]

@PunkFictionProdction Jesus wouldn't join a boy band.

[Sicckmaster]

Banks can't hope to be that multidimensional and deep. So in conclusion of my argument, whoever is the best is NOT always the one who has the best flow, at least in my opinion. Banks and these guys are two WAY different styles and approaches anyway.

[Sicckmaster]

For instance, Lupe will make music for everything; the streets (Gotta Eat, Tilted, Pressure), his life (Gold Watch, Go Go Gadget Flow, Superstar, Fighters), the world and its issues (Hurt Me Soul, American Terrorist, The Instrumentation, Little Weapon, Conflict Daimonds, Kick, Push, Kick Push II, Daydreamin'), tracks about love (Sunshine, Paris, Tokyo), the rap game (Dumb It Down, Hip-Hop Saved My Life) and even storytelling (The Cool, The Coolest, Put You On Game,Streets On Fire).

[Sicckmaster]

If you ask me, dudes that talk about the streets all the time, like they don't shit else, just prove how much of a nigga they really are and by nigga I mean a truly ignorant muthafucker.

[Sicckmaster]

I'm not saying I'm soft with my music or anything. I'm just saying that I would really rather hear Lupe talk about life and the pressures everyone faces and the world, then hear about how Lloyd Banks is going to get that money and rob niggas and fuck bitches and drive expensive cars (that might not be his). Those subjects are so shallow and played out. Banks can be pigeonholed as a stereotypical rapper, no matter how good his flow is. His lyrical content ain't shit.

[Sicckmaster]

If you just look at flow and focus on flow all the time, while it is the most important thing about Hip-Hop, you also miss out on other attributes, like creativity and production and versatility. That is one of the problems of Hip-Hop/Rap and its fans, everyone is always focused narrow mindedly on who has the best flow. What if Lloyd Banks was talking about kidnapping and raping someone, but his flow was the shit while he was doing it? Come on man, you can't tell me that's not right.

[Sicckmaster]

Shit, I even have Hunger For More on my I-Pod and I really like "I'm So Fly" and "On Fire", but I never thought that Banks was as good as you say he is.

[Sicckmaster]

Believe me 69, I have heard both Hunger For More and Rotten Apple numerous times, as well as Banks work with G-Unit. When it comes to street Hip-Hop and G-Unit, Lloyd Banks is probably the most lyrical, but outside of that, you got to be fucking kidding me!

[Sicckmaster]

Not only Hip-Hop, but I listen to dudes like Mr. Hudson, Coldplay, Green Day, Creed, Kenna, Chrisette Michele, Hey Champ, Japanese Cartoon, NERD, Labi Siffre, David Axelrod (I could go on forever). Sorry to get so offensive, but I don't confine myself to one artist, even though Lupe is my favorite artist. I expand my horizons and look for a whole bunch of music. I try to stay open-minded and I don't let people accuse me of being closed. I do like the original Thom Yorke version of this.

[lpncg13]

fuck this is good

[hazeddon]

If only these guys would just get that album out already.

[QuadCityRiverBandits]

cold[1 week ago] best song ever and lupe

[McBeastiepants]

CRS is short for Child Rebel Soldier. Lupe Fiasco is Child, Kanye West is Rebel, and Pharrell is Soldier.

[rutgernoah]

wat the frick is CRS

[Mrgreatism]

Child Rebel Soilders ftw

[Sicckmaster]

Hip-Hop needs a CRS album. That would be straight dopeness, raw and uncut. The lyrical presence and meaning of the album would be off the charts. It would probably be the most lyrically endowed album of this generation, especially considering all the garbage being shoved in peoples ears these days.

[Sicckmaster]

It may even become a CLASSIC Hip-Hop album. They need to get back together and actually follow-through on it.

[hazeddon]

lol so true, hopefully they get their shit together and release the album this year.

[SuccessIsMyDestiny]

@Sicckmaster Lupe just announced recently that they are currently working on a debut C.R.S. album, but they've only made 4 songs so far.

[Sicckmaster]

@SuccessIsMyDestiny I know man, I posted this comment before I was aware, but like Lasers, it does not have a specific release date.

[rytnutcase69]

@Sicckmaster Dont think you've listened to much else apart from this then

[Sicckmaster]

@rytnutcase69 No its not that I haven't listened to too much else. I just think that when you combine Lupe's lyrical complexity and meanings with Kanye's raw emotion with Pharrell's unparalleled creativity well... your sure to get an explosion of talent not seen thus far since way back when. I am deeply rooted in hip-hop. I listen to dudes like Jay Electronica, B.o.B, Talib Kweli, Wale, J. Cole, Wu Tang, GLC, Charles Hamilton, ect. Don't you dare question my interest in my own genre of music.

[rytnutcase69]

@Sicckmaster WOW sorry i am questioning it, because i've seen better lyrical talent then this, lloyd banks.

[Sicckmaster]

@rytnutcase69 Look man, Banks is decent lyrically and all, but there is no way he is touching Lupe. For one, his concepts are limited to street-related material, just like any other mere rapper. Lupe is so much more than a simple rapper, he is an artist. What is the most thought-provoking thing that Lloyd Banks has ever said in his lyrics. You have to listen to Lupe's songs again, just to find meaning in the lyrics. I think that is phenomenal.

[rytnutcase69]

@Sicckmaster Aye lupe is good, but when your praising kanye he's just got shit flow and lyrics tbh, i mentioned lloyd banks because the way you were talking it sounded as though these were the only 3 people who had talent

[Sicckmaster]

@rytnutcase69 Naw man, that is not what I meant. I mean together, as a GROUP they have an abundance of talent. I reevaluate my comment about the most talented GROUP today, but Lupe shits on all of these dudes. Kanye's flow is wack, but the emotion he puts in his music, some of his lyrics, and the way he produces his songs kind of make up for that, at least for me. Not only that, but I like the fact that Ye does not fit into this moniker of "gangsta" like everyone else wants to do. He is himself.

[Sicckmaster]

I bet some of you are so used to listening to either simplistic lyrics or deep lyrics told in an uninteresting way, that you cannot fathom nor appreciate this song.

[agonzalez1571]

@Cybergig00 pharrel verse not strange at all . str8 fire

[108MiALEE]

chidita la rola, aunque lo mejor de ella es la inigualable voz de THOM YORKE!!!

[Version]

I wish they were still doin ish, maybe kayne's attitude about autotune had somethin to do with it

[jacksonrrr]

Hip Hop died in 06'

[TheInkPassion]

@jacksonrrr Hip Hop is not deceased its power napping.

[Luda1985]

@jacksonrrr

underground will never die

[jacksonrrr]

I'm talking commercial

[sayes2jess]

i LOVE this song, never gets old to me..

[KickIt722]

better than the original. plus, the vid is sick!

[EmmyLuxeMakeUpInc]

not everyone can write a rap.

I resepct your opinion, but surely even you must recognize how small minded and ignorant you currently sound.

[ennqq]

everyone can write a rap? well why won't you go write some then, genius? i love thom yorke and radiohead as much as the next guy, and no i don't think this is better than the original, but i just don't understand why you have to shit on other people's creative efforts in such disrespectful manner.

[KickIt722]

@Scott17quebec Yeah dude, you obviously dont understand what rap is all about. I didnt say I didnt like the thom yorke version ... i like this one better. so dont go off running your mouth like some big tough guy. And dont go running your mouth like you know the whats what in every variable of music, because obviously you dont understand rap if you think this is bad.

word.

[crazyyungsta08]

hey this is good music man...only because its rap doesnt mean its goin to tal only about girls money and other mainstream bullshit....this is actually good hip hop....listen to the lyrics

[Scott17quebec]

@crazyyungsta08 You're right. After studying the song a lot, I understood there was a message (wich is pretty surprising). I still don't like it, and don't think at all it is musically creative, but I do respect it. But big Radiohead fans like me get angry when we touch their precious songs. Until the result is good... (Sorry for bad english)

[EmmyLuxeMakeUpInc]

I dont think this song is for the closed minded people who dont like to see genres of music mix. "Omg Thom Yorke is so much better than Kanye why is he on this track!"

fucking loonies.

[TheArtistik2]

all verses are great i my opinion

[Cybergig00]

PHarrell's verse is a bit strange.

Rest of the song is perfect.

[RocBre011]

pharrell's part is the best, listen to what hes saying.
