Saul Williams: DNA

[IMADRWILY]

I wanna see a music video where NiggyTardust goes on a Terminator-esque killing spree at a southern plantation, freeing all of the slaves.

And then later he leads an army of slaves to destroy both the Union and the Confederacy, creating a nation of Africans and Native Americans.

[vivianziereisen]

Dark and sexy, love it.

[Distrakt]

Stupendous!

[MrCageTV]

So I know there are a lot of people saying Trent had nothing to do with Saul's work, in which you would be right that I don't think Trent wrote any of the songs, but he produced a lot of the album and brought awareness to a larger section of the population then Saul did alone. Give credit where credit is due.

[leurbantoaster]

is Saul aware that you can't hear this song on his official website?

[floppies]

transcend and included hip hop

[danrienstra]

Finally, hip hop that actually means something. I'm tired of everyone talking about much money they have and how many girls they fuck. Finally something real.

[stateofpink]

Trent brought back hip hop in a new way. The way it's supposed to be! IT'S DA BOMB!!!! XD

[AfraRe1]

Damn 

[letsgoforajoyride]

he has some lyrics for sure, real words not some recycled mainstream hiphop rap garbage..

[Lovertits9]

yeah... this is the hip-hop we have today thanks to trent reznor.

i love it.

[letsgoforajoyride]

this is so undermentioned album, i guess im kinda glad for that,, i can enjoy it a bit longer before the bandwagon jumps on

[cjeam9199]

@letsgoforajoyride why for you as soon as something becomes popular does it become uncool? That's uncool in itself, & you are on the bandwagon that only likes stuff when it's new and no one has heard of it. If you wanted to be really original, find an artist you like and enjoy, & support and promote them all the way, even if people laugh at you for it.

[08Domonique86]

@Lovertits9 You do realize Saul Williams has been around since the early 90's doing poetry and music, right?

[LimbicTides]

@Lovertits9 Seriously? It was a well produced album, but Reznor has nothing to do with Saul Williams work. He's been around for years.

[june18th1988]

@LimbicTides here here! people giving all credit to trent, who I love, sound like idiots! Saul Williams is the man to thank here!

[blahblahblahman]

@Lovertits9

It's not fucking hip hop, and it's not "thanks to trent reznor".

[facade3]

This is what Tricky stopped doing....this track is hot...always dug Saul Williams...

[mooncooninc83]

He has consistently been one of the very few Black voices in music/art that truly searches within to see how he can uplift us by feeding us pure artistic sincerity.

[alexhallgren]

Black music used to be all about God until the record industry started pumping that gangsta sh*t. I miss the good ol days.

[Mikediah]

I see what you mean. Sort of. I think like all music it was more REAL. Then assholes in business suits got their disease all over it. Heh.

[neberu55]

sounds like a cross between rap/ poetry and futreistic music very cool.

[jamezthompson3]

This is some real futuristic Hip Hop! Dope shit!

[thecall4]

damn son this video and convict colony video is trippy as waaaaa!

[arcademachineiac]

Another song I can't stop listening to. Just grabbed up the album. Slick lyrics and bass tester beats.

[driftrhyme]

this is real hip hop. Dude is the truth, light, and future

[1PostPoMoMaN1]

That's bad news for me. Saul Willams married to a scientologist... are you sure?

[Mikediah]

You know I don't hate Scientology right now, they're actually right about some things. (Aside from space aliens, perhaps.)

[MaBu888]

To me what they do, not just their bullshit creation myths - this is what makes scientologism dangerous, stupid and did I say dangerous. I suggest you wikipedia or youtube about its abuses.

[Mikediah]

Excuse me sir, thank you, but I don't trust Wikipedia at ALL. ha ha. Really, I'm being serious. I do know that Scientology does have occult roots, for sure. NicNasty1981 makes a valid point about them being "Satanic". L. Ron Hubbard was part of the Golden Dawn I believe, so it is based on SOMETHING. However being fearful off the bat of a new religion is kind of a bad thing. It's alot like the Masons, because it's private. That's why all of this fear gets generated. Neither group appear bad.

[Mikediah]

HOWEVER, that doesn't mean one should throw their trust to them.Christianity started much the same way. Scientology on the negative does look like a mash-up of different occult influences. Which is again, how Christianity started. I went to their website, not sure if it's still up, but it had a video of working class people being neighborly. More than a little suspicious. Considering they cater to the upper class. +However on the positive they are against Psychiatric drugs, which are very bad.

[MaBu888]

You bring up good points, though you haven't seen their collective dark side. It is still IMPOSSIBLE to exit this religion without bad consequences to one's life conditions, unlike from some other religions.

[sundiatasoulbefree]

Dang...i think this simple video might be one of the most amazing videos i have ever seen i love LOVE LOVE the end when the camera comes back in to focus!!!!!!

Not to mention his way with words is like a whole nother language!

Saul is a effing BEAST!

[HipHopProtesta]

Out of this world!!!

[DRIZZY2005]

Saul chopped and scerwed love this shiz :) "Let me see you pop that thang right there girl in your seat, feel the heat"

[tayshona1]

I actually understand the message in this

[Avantgardefunker]

aw man this is soo tight!!

[kirkstate]

on some futuristic baambata type ish

[schoolemk]

love all his work simply amazing and conscious motivation!!!

[the2coreys]

Amazing!

[estevancarlos]

married a scientologist? hm. la is strange.

[hoffaods]

anybody got this instrumental ? help meeeeeeeeeeeeee lol

[NekolasM]

Hey now, being a scientologist doesn't automatically make you a nutter butter looney (though it probably helps.) You don't know anything about this woman as an individual. Saul does know her, and if you follow his music you also know that he is not an idiot when it comes to religious philosophy. If she were a fanatic he would not be with her. Period.

[NicNasty1981]

$cientology docturn involves a "fair game" policy in which people that are critical of the Cult are to be sued, lied to, or destroyed. They seek to activly control governments, google Operation Snow White, and theyre responsible for 1000s of deaths. Speak out against them and see their fair game policy. Theyre dangerous and are banned in greece and now Germany, France and Belgium are seeking bans. Theyre not a kooky cult and are seriously dangerous and Satanic.

[opheliamoonstone]

*comes in pants*

[brayshizzle]

very simple video that works with this fucking amazing song

[MaBu888]

Enliightened face in existencial truth waves fingers in the proverbial aether.

[YungHoodz]

So glad i came to chck this page out, to see a DNA video, fuck yeah, Saul finish a new album and come back to NYC

[DealerDirekt]

Ohh Shit Sauls DNA in a vial I GOT % ON IT

[wallywacko]

um, why didn't someone tell them it was all out of focus?? ;)

Excellent track. The blurriness works really well.

[x0xLYRiCAL]

<333333333333333

[Flucas90210]

Saul Williams or Nine Inch Nails?

[shasaki1]

You're ahead of this time Saul!

[dust540]

way ahead...

[Flucas90210]

I know right.  Sometimes I wish he would come back.

[shalee01]

excellent song! one of my favorites from the n.t. album. listening to your music for a pretty long time now.

I'd love to create some images to go with "The Ritual" but I'm quite aware of the copyright issues if I uploaded the video on youtube. (kids aren't aware of that lately)

[dust540]

great Saul!
