[alberts1985]

Shut up

[leontraveler99]

This is well done!

[ALPINESWATCHES]

When I say niggy, you say nothin. Niggy. Nothin. Shut up.

[bafoiiii]

[MrGrevy]

How far music has fallen.

[vitadude]

I say.......Rise of the planet of the apes is a great movie , hope the next one is good too! Everyone should check it out!

[NightWolf428]

Brilliant

[sigbjorntrumbaugh]

This is awesome man! congrats!

[opheliamoonstone]

@sigbjorntrumbaugh I don't know why everyone thinks I'm a man...

[sigbjorntrumbaugh]

@opheliamoonstone Sorry but the man in congrats man is more an exclamation in itself than me setting a gender for you. Just a force of habit I guess... Anyway, congrats wo-man!

[opheliamoonstone]

@sigbjorntrumbaugh LOL no offense taken. I understand the expression. It just made me laugh a little. 

[abc123singwithme]

eargasm x'2343454

[WorldWideMMAFights]

Trent Reznor doing the beats

[OIOcellOIO]

Probably the best rap album since Run D.M.C.

[chachaleeroy]

niggy, nothin- SHUTUP

[kidcopernicus]

Saul Williams is a real dude. Realest dude. Realized dude. Knowledge is knowledge...

[sugafoot777]

love it!

[joshua1auhsoj]

the part when they are going down the steps at the end is cool

[BongLeach]

horrible video interpretation ! 

[whitebloodrain]

is it weird if he looks like a penguin?

[JMRSplatt]

Thank you also for not illustrating every single word he says. Good vid.

[eatnogoat]

16 people were drunk and thought they were going to hear Ziggy Stardust.

[YEREMAYAH]

15 people that don't like this must be mentally disabled or something. This is pure art. LOVE IT

[pslipy]

*nothin

[BillyCrash233]

This is brilliant........Awesome lyrics!

[pjorgenson1979]

When I say niggy you say nuthin...niggy...NOTHING!

[Tmangman1]

@pjorgenson1979 shut up ;p

[nocturnaldrew]

Remarkable work. I thought this was the official music video when I first saw it. It really reminds me of some of Saul Williams' other work. I feel you bring in a salient historic piece with the Shirley Temple clip, and the juxtaposition of the clip with the music set up for an illuminating contrast.

[ThePoopChef]

awesome video editing, thanks for not playing this over some random anime shit like 99.9% of the user created music videos on youtube.

[opheliamoonstone]

Thanks... I like this video. I pretty much put it up right when the album came out since the song wasn't on youtube at the time.

uuuuh....fucking anime

[28g34ajbsd]

@opheliamoonstone Yeah, this actually has a connect with the song.

[killwhitey88d]

@opheliamoonstone whoa you mean this is user generated , I thought this was official , great video , this is why i like youtube

[ecntlr]

haha the second time he said " when i said niggy you say nothing" I said nothing and all i heard wass shut up

[killbbob]

where can i get this i know its kinda old but its dope

[indigox91]

he's like a combination of two of the greatest things; David Bowie and black people

[greenearthfashion]

lol i love this

[mrnye66]

@indigox91 voted down, a little racist don't ya think. i think this is exactly the opposite of what niggy is going for in the world

[twnslick]

@mrnye66 I feel like it kinda mocks the idea of institutionalised racism, much like the song does. I get whatcha mean and all, but it seems very apropos to me.

[mrnye66]

@mrnye66 umm i don't remember exactly what I said, but i doubt i was being racist. what about the guy spouting off nigger, nigger, nigger up there, eh? some contrast i drew about niggy being bo jenkins gets voted down though, alright then. I guess I'm just too edgy and racial for this crew. I bet saul would've laughed about it. Later bitches

[ALPINESWATCHES]

@mrnye66 when i say niggy you say nothin

[LordAkaneon]

@ALPINESWATCHES NOTHIN!

[ALPINESWATCHES]

@LordAkaneon shut up

[modemmack]

I personally prefer Figgy Moonpowder. That's Stephen Colbert's rock alter ego.

[71atreyu]

A good dis to 50 cent here.

Great lyrics as well.

not a big fan of the trent reznor production if that's what it is.

Rather listen to some of Saul's spoken word honestly, straight to the point!

Hip Hop is Dead...

[BadWolf0223]

@71atreyu Agreed that i would rather see him on Def Poetry, but you cant blame him for wanting to pursue the chance to work with reznor. Besides, i like what he and saul have done as far as sticking it up the major labels asses.

[shawnmyers]

NOTHING!

[drkrunk68]

White people car him curtis?

he talking about 50 cent?  hahahaha!

[thedudeman69]

yeah that's called a diss

[starmonkey17]

Niggy (sounds like Piggy) ...Nothing... This is sooo Trent Reznor, I love it!

[hiercolloquialism]

it really isssss. i agree fully

[90blacktsiawd]

I thought it was a pun of David Bowies Ziggy Stardust

[KyttenHime]

Thats because he and Trent work together :)

[iCruzader]

i painted niggy on my metal lunchbox... now where do i send the picture???

[AnthonyMishima]

Reznor is even better as a producer in the end. There is no stopping the Trento. Shoot.

[LordOfZombies]

colonel sanders? is that you?

[Cmndr95]

this is one of the greatest songs i have ever heard

[thethreeeg]

shut up

[revilo314]

Is Saul williams real, or is he robot? I can't tell. He looks like robot in this.

[silentsmokeNIN]

lol this isnt the music video. this is shirley temple from way back

[KKcutie08]

wt?

[AnonShawi]

side effects may include simply being who you are

[xElvis9110x]

this is the best video ever.

[idunnoification]

i was hopin to hear about how cool blunts and liquor and wearing gold is....damnit

well i guess thats what radio is  for ha ha ho ho

[opheliamoonstone]

lol. Why?

[bluballzzz]

this is racist

[0u8shirt8]

Niggy Tardust is black and I can only assume he chose his own name. How is it racist?

[xElvis9110x]

I guess since he's a slave but he's payed so it doesn't matter

[sparkydeltorro]

"so what you niggers wanna do? elevate the race or love these other mother fuckers too?"

love that line

[abcevan]

I watched this video when I was in the nude. =)

[manniefaces]

That's hot . =)

[earvesicle]

i dunno.. i wonder how david bowie feels about this?.. ill take ziggy over niggy

[Aueneye]

I bet Bowie has this on his I-Pod as he does his workout.

[Drummydrum]

I bet he has it on his I-Pod when he's eating junk food too.

[Aueneye]

Tsk tsk, Bowie doesn't eat junk food. Bowie just is. He absorbs the energy around him.

[Moshpitdisciple]

@Aueneye

And white people call him Curtis.

[Aueneye]

@Moshpitdisciple : Curt people call him whitest.

[TotalKaosE]

Saul said he took the name and switched it around, hes a fan of Bowie

[opheliamoonstone]

no shit

[stgm]

only idiots aren't bowie fans

and saul sure isn't an idiot.

[travbaby420]

Mr. Williams is one of the most well spoken hip hop artists out there. All these sellouts making music that all sounds the same and taking the art out of music need to stop and take a long look at what they represent and turn this shit upside down

[thebone420]

no shit commercial hip hop sucks but who the fuck says "well spoken"?

[jetblackscreams]

well i would, he's very well spoken and conveys his thoughts clearly in every verse.

quite poetic lyrically...imo

[Drummydrum]

People who are educated.

[revilo314]

Humans and talking animals.

[skunkmasterD]

saul williams - a prophet

[rconary]

This is one of the few albums I have bought in years because not supporting Saul Williams feels morally wrong.

[TinyVessels00]

@rconary There are just some things you cannot bring yourself to download illegally.

[dpn840]

Saul is rediculously underrated.

[lacurvadevillena]

i agree !! tricky is the man !! but in this case Saul rocks

[kevlonk]

Saul Williams for the mutherfucking WIN.

[Natokowsky]

what film is this?

[InKa4484]

it's an old shirley temple film. I don't know the name of it i just know it's not Heidi.

[OriginalDarkAardvark]

the little colonel

mr bojangles is a pimp dancer

[InKa4484]

ok i guess it's called "The Little Colonel"

[SexyPianist89]

HAHA David Bowie has Ziggy Stardust and Saul Williams has Niggy Tardust!

[InKa4484]

Does Trent Reznor do any of these vocals? It kinda sounds like he's singing with this guy for the chorus.

[starltrubymoon]

yes

XD

trent reznor and saul williams joined for the niggy tardust album =3

[InKa4484]

i could tell that by the beat but i didn't know if it was trent's vocals but it is kinda obvious.

[ArtistSceneGuide]

this sounds like a genre of music called "gay rap"

[Conscious]

you even listen to the words?

[InKa4484]

he was masterbating to homoerotica while this played in the background so probably not.

[WonderBread006]

funny ass title

[SsarverSumed24]

Nothin!

[eye9637isis]

I saw Saul Williams and his dj CX Kidtronik perform back in 06.. Quite entertainers and I'd be happy to see them LIVE again!

[SsarverSumed24]

NIGGY!

[kevlonk]

NOTHIN!

[SsarverSumed24]

SHUT UP!

[SsarverSumed24]

NIGGY!

[SsarverSumed24]

When I say NIGGY you say nothin!!!!

[larrieux123]

this vid is is perfect for the vibe...love it.

[stitchizstl]

search youtube for stitchiz

[ratsnasty]

genius.

[keilyngodson26]

Yall crackers think Saul is just entertainment, just like this little whitegirl and her personal "niggy." I know better.

[iamdiscotits]

This "cracker" knows that Saul is a fucking genius. His words flow almost seamlessly into pure art. I just wish more people knew of him.

[screwball82]

It's getting there....since supporting NIN, he's getting more recognition. He's also in K Pax :-)

[SsarverSumed24]

I may be a cracker. But still, Gotta Love Saul. He is indeed a Genius.

[rootd22]

I'm there with ya. Sounds like Tricky which is always a good thing

[subbassone]

It's like the whole Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" / Wizard of Oz thing about it!... Saul is dope!

[FrankyBangaz]

damn...im on a whole nother level now.

[kraeckelium]

The David Bowie is very inventive

[kraeckelium]

Bowie reverence I meant of course

[theancientenemy]

I knew I loved this album once the vocoder at the end of this track kicked in.

[cam60558]

dna, break and this best off album.

best album bought in ages, like years

[Ellsswhere]

Actually I think DNA and Black History Month are phenomenal... and I think sunday bloody sunday could have been messed with more, too similar to every other cover, overall great album

[draciedul]

I happen to think this guy got fucked up

[AbsoluteOblivion]

lol.

[yearnull]

im still debating but this may be my favorite song off the album its between this, sunday bloody sunday, and skin of a drum

[rottenhamland]

theyre all damn good.

I am not a U2 fan but saul williams did a great job covering sunday bloody sunday.

[Tritium8]

amazing performance of the whole band yesterday... still thinking about it.

music shattering nationalities and the stupid fascist thinking which goes along with, we - them ...

we are all from this earth ... so let's grow up, shall we? ;)

thx

[dagoninfinite]

ok, now he teaches her hood dance LOL

[Tritium8]

Damn,

i'm so lucky... gonna see him perform in a week.

Poolbar Feldkirch, Austria...

and hopefully he'll have the double Vinyl with him :)

then 3h trainride after the show/work at 2am.

mad but will be worth it.

cu there ppl

5stars btw, brilliant video

[Infortunium]

its meant to be ironic, the song is about just that

[Infortunium]

Saul williams is a great poet, & just to inform the song is about the sellout "Curtis (50 cent) Jackson" the song describes him perfectly example being the MtV spend a day with 50 cent crap I am just glad that there are more people out there like him him trying to bring back what rap was when it started, rap about real shit vs just making nonsense bass & beat, he offers free downloads of this album btw cause the music industry is corrupt, greedy, & controlling.

[Nosajrv]

when i say nigga you say nothing nigga nigga.

when i say nigga you say nothing nigga "nothing"

shut up

[opheliamoonstone]

umm. Yeah. Hence the name of the song.

[Eman607]

Ohhhh shitttt

[DRIZZY2005]

NOTHING!!

Shut up.

[hash322]

duuude that dance is G!!

[comradepinko]

This is a brilliant video to go along with the song. Excellent choice, keep up the good work.

[hapnoodle]

Wow, brilliant stuff. Thought this was an official video for a hot minute. Now i think it should be. Send a link to Trent. No joke.

[gannz1]

if anything the fact that hes doing something "new" with music just further shows that he is a smart and talented person, if you cant appreciate his poetry you should go back to you bubblegum bullshit rap, go listen to some lil'wayne and let the media control your life some more and stop posting comments about people who have taken control of their lives and are doing something new with hip-hop

[gannz1]

wel saul williams is possibly the best POET of our time, and you say we are stupid for admiring his "intelligence"? im willing to guarentee that just by judging by your statement that saul williams is more intelligent then you are. saying hes just a black man with a big mouth and no talent is quite ignorant of you, just because he has strayed from mainstream rap somehow make him untalented?

[lpmonky]

Tip: If you want someone to give a damn about you're opinion, try not to label those with an opposing view idiots, it usually works. Otherwise, shut up! You have the right to your opinion, but I can't respect it if you're going to be so close-minded. At least try looking into his other stuff... or perhaps understanding what it is he's trying to say. In fact, while you're at it, try understanding what it is YOU say, because you don't seem to be able to.

[ubs16]

where is your's,sir? you have no talent,come back when you make an album that was actually sold worldwide,llukax.

[MiSFiTxMAFiA]

Does anyone know if Saul performs at NIn concerts occasionly?

[ChaChing86]

the video has an underlying message, to those of u who refer to it as stupid...i would tell u to read btw the lines. hate is a strong word, but i hate the ignoranous. look at the setting, look at the butler and his role in the video. gosh!

[opheliamoonstone]

lol

[Xelrces]

Shit happens, ChaChing. This video is obviously a satirical portrayal of the underlying message. Therefore it is to be taken in good humor. We're out of the "dark ages"(for the most part) of black subservience and racicm so please get over it.

[hiriwabosi]

are we really out of it??

[synthzor]

song is sick. especially live.

WHEN I SAY NIGGY, YOU SAY NOTHING

[michaelgrube]

I love Saul Williams but this video is just stupid.

[maverick2215]

i saw him in ann arbor the shit was crazy

[numbchucking]

I'm going to see Saul tonight, hells yea, pumped.

[opheliamoonstone]

have fun. My friend went to see him in new orleans and she patted him on the stomach. awwkward.

[opheliamoonstone]

lol

[Lokiate]

What the fuck is this bull shit? Why is it every time theres a black guy on here, all the little 13 y/o skin heads crawl out of the wood work? Leave that shit at Stormfront you fucking pecker heads.

[Metahar1]

this is seriously facinating.

[Sandbag209]

Looks like he's taking a shit at 2:33.

[windowlicker1]

lol @ the funnyniggers guy

good video and song.

[funnyniggers2]

ahhh.... The good old days of dancing niggers owned by rich white girls. I love it! I have a dancing nigger video as well on my youtube channel.

[opheliamoonstone]

you sir, shock and disgust me. wtf.

[saunied]

please post your stupid comments, theres nothing my family enjoys more than a demented soul grasping for worth by spreading hate. Its so cute to see your pathetic efforts of finding value within yourself...What a laugh riot! I know its not right to laugh at the desparate, but the effort you have gone thru is hysterical! ps: is it true that all white supremists want to sleep with their mothers?

[opheliamoonstone]

you sound more idiotic. Just let stupid people be stupid. Give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves with it.

[BoomSelekta]

Kill yourself.

[avelione]

ppl say different things of where exactly did Trent add his vocals, and I say: he could add his vocals ewerywhere and you could not notice it : P

[twce]

awesome song. great job on the vid!

[R0alley]

You say Nothing...... NOTHING!!

Lol

[Aueneye]

Man, the music on KFC adverts has improved no end.

[verbalweaponry0]

I love this song. Reznor is a god of production. And Shirley Temple is one creepy little bitch :/.

[RumaldoC]

LOL this is true!

[jonezysan]

Good to know Saul Williams is a fan of David Bowie.

[hiriwabosi]

lol. Is that Colonel Sanders?

[Bugle25]

i have to agree with Thublihnk...Llukax is really out of it...and by the the way prick Saul is brilliant writer,poet,and actor,who can rap,he is not a hip-hop artist..maybe if you were a little more intuned you would understand what the song is about..
