TALIB KWELI x KENDRICK LAMAR - THIS N!GGA GOT BARS (VIDEO)

Some footage my boy Daylan Williams of Hip Hop Official shot over to me.  It's old footage he decided to bring out the vault, if any of you attended the FREE MySpace show in November 2010 you should have seen this.  If not here's your chance to change that...and read below for Daylan's description.

This was shot at the world famous Roxy in West Hollywood for the Myspace/Talib Kweli free Thanksgiving show to celebrate the (pre) release of Gutter Rainbows.The footy has been sitting on the drive so I decided to cut this performance for fun. Talib put it best when he said, "This n---a got bars right?" at the end of the piece. Hence the title.
It's always dope when new school and old school connect, not that Talib is old school, but ya know.  Enjoy.
