Talib Kweli gives fans a peek at his life in rhymes from his point of view in the video for “Rare Portraits”, which follows the MC from the bottom to the backstage area to the spotlight where he performs the Oh No produced track for a packed house full of screaming fans. The video directed by Joel Clare places a magnifying glass on the hard work of climbing your way to the top – in this case center stage – as Kweli drops autobiographical verses that detail a few of the chance meetings and history-making moments that have gone on to define his career as a world-renowned MC. The primary footage is mixed with archival clips of Kweli’s earlier years with Blackstar and more. Check the footage below to watch the official video for “Rare Portraits” from Talib Kweli.
