KiD CuDi Ft. MGMT & Ratatat – Pursuit of Happiness Video (Alternate Version)

This KiD CuDi x MGMT x Ratatat song has been one of my favorite tracks out since KiD CuDi’s album has dropped.  The beat, the hook, and just about everything else make this song classic to me.  Here’s the alternate version of this great song’s music video as well as the original that can be seen here.
