This group would have been legendary for hip-hop. The healthy competition between the three of them would have produced a sound that is not to be fucked with.
I agree..if 'Ye had've done a CRS album it would been better than Watch the Throne album..imo..WTT was mainly a flashy album..that didnt really have any true meaning besides the usual "i make money"..CRS wouldve had better material and they could have gone on to be one of the best Supergroups of all time..if not the best
@Kausachun Velasco Thom Yorke apparently personally curated the samples for the album which is pretty fuckin cool. I'm so sad this project is lost forever.
Peruano ML Man what the fuck are you talking about. Kanye isn’t that superficial anymore and what are you implying about Lupe? Because he literally dropped two of the best rap albums this decade had to offer
I've made peace with the fact we're never getting anymore CRS music. Even the little we got was amazing. Not sure how well these 3 would even blend together these days or how they would have a few years back with the drastically directions their careers took. The time for crs has passed and we ended up w other great music anyway
I cannot believe I completely forgot about this song. Mind blown. The memories that came rushing back, man. Wow. Playing this off my PS3 with the Spinning Earth wallpaper going. Drinking Gin & Juice by myself. Depression. Amazing!
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).
this song is about the 3 classes that we have in this world. Pharrell talks about the rich class.Kanye about the middle class trying to make it to the big leagues.Lupe about the lower class and the struggles they go through day to day. people pay attention to the lyrics and to this good song!
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.
The whole songs is Thom Yorke's "The Eraser", just with CRS' vocals. FYI for the viewers. Either way, props on both group/individuals. Thom's vocals are spectacular.
@@Supreme_Kai You're romanticizing the making of this lol. Lupe took The Eraser, used the beginning for the beat, used the chorus for the hook and rapped over it. Literally nothing deeper than that. Thom had zero involvement outside of sample use and doubt he knows what was happening to this day
@@Marceles45 wrong Thom actually recorded with them and went through samples compiling enough to form an album, hence why he was set to get an ep billing on the album

I love this song so much. I'm going to the Chicago show for Kanye's Glow in the Dark tour. Pharrell and Lupe will both be there too so I really hope they perform this song!
on of my ex is a huge Radiohead fan, never understood why, thought they were just another band that wouldn't know anything. But man Thom yorke really floored me with this and it just a sample of his voice have to give him the props and respect he so deserves
"It depends what it sounds like," Lupe said. "We gotta make some more records. Everybody is mad busy, Kanye is doing his record, Pharrell's in the studio, I'm working on my record, so we gonna wait til everything settles down some." -- Lupe Fiasco on a possible CRS album
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.
FINALLY!!!! a Hip-Hop song that I can see being popular today that has meaningful lyrics. If anyone can introduce anymore to me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. Peace love and Harmony
(But they love it and they love it) The more you try to erase me (And they love it and they love it) The more that I appear, oh (and they love it and they love it) The more, the more you try the eraser The more that you appear
Lupe, Kanye and Pharrell are forming a super group called the Child Rebel Soldiers, this is their only song with all 3 of them so far,their album is coming out something during the ending of this year so look out for them.
Why is this piece of art buried on YT and not being played up and down on radio? I can’t believe I just discovered this in 2024
Well you missed out in 08 but you on the track my guy...

+Killian Kaiser Or it would have ended up like "The Firm"
+JoEClove Not true, you must not have listened to all of WTT. No Chruch In The Wild, New Day, Murder To Excellence all had a lot of meaning to them
Wouldn’t have lasted long lol. You gotta think, ALL 3 of them in a room working together? Too many creative differences lol.
the fact that they couldn't make more music makes me almost cry
Wouldn’t have lasted long lol. You gotta think, ALL 3 of them in a room working together? Too many creative differences lol.

Pharell delivered one of the dopest verses I've ever heard from him.

I cant believe this has been up for 13 years and only has half a million views.....I've been coming back to this video since it was uploaded
People don't know and honestly it's not for them at this point anyways. Real ones only.
The video has alot of sybolism . Crazy
Been coming here since '08...

hopefully these 3 great artists will continue to create perfection
All four of my favorite artists in hip hop, and electronic/alternative. A hell of a combo.
Let's start a petition to have these 3 cats get together and drop a 5-10 track album.
There is 4 of them

Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Bought a big house and a whole lot of rangers
A fresh new couch and a whole lot of trainers
A closet full of clothes and some brand new dangers
And some Mexican floral arrangers
A great big TV that'll entertain us
Some colorful commissions for some high-paid painters
Someone to take the rap so that I stay stainless
And a new relationship with a banker
Two pinky rings for my manicured fingers
A trained German Shepherd that bark when it's angered
To watch my possessions and look out for strangers
And a fifty-foot yacht with an anchor
Young supermodel that shall remain nameless
Ups and the downs, the sames and the changes
All the money in the world don't make it painless (No)

My favorite song from when I was like 13. Simpler times.
2024 and I’m still in awe of Lupe’s verse
Take time to the timeline where this group kept making music together 🔥
When this first dropped!? Wooooooooo
BEST COLLABORATION EVER
the simple a song is, the better
CRS would've been the new A Tribe Called Quest!
all the pictures of these guys are wicked epic this deserves to be like an album cover definetily!!!!
one of the greatest songs of all time

man this shits hot aye luv this beat these three r the best rappers ever
this has got to be the greatest collaboration ever
Please CRS get back together! We need you! We're begging you!! This is life! Everyone needs you!!! The culture of music needs you!! Please come back!
Had the potential to be the best Rap Group
I might forgive Kanye for being out of pocket for a decade if CRS dropped a new single.
I can't believe Thom×kanye happened in 2007
