@DawrinISmyHOMEboy

That's a very bent comment.

[dualityofself]

Check out his cover of Sunday Bloody Sunday with Trent Reznor...it's incredible.

[dualityofself]

I've always loved this one.

[ahoyminator]

Great tune- just such a shame his pitch drops gradually below the pitch of the tune

[platypusmessiah]

Thanks for providing this video without the ads.

[ebolaking44]

Thumps up if your desire not to grab your feet and take it from Man, sent you here!

[DarwinISmyHOMEboy]

I've never noticed this before but; Saul Williams has absolutely fantastic teeth.

[minidx315]

0:19 sacrded me

[brvnodiaz]

It should be the soundtrack to every fight Jon Jones, Lyoto Machida has also haha

[hallorand9]

Trent brought me here.

[ShogunD23]

[ShogunD23]

[motofreak7475]

Anonymous brought me here...

[Palestine925]

Looking at the 3rd one, it seems more reasonable and relative but again how many people know what is going on, for example at the #Occupy movement. I've heard people saying they want to go, "Why?" another student ask, "I don't know, why not?". Not going to lie and sound like a hypocrite though because not yet have I been to an Occupy protest because in between my school work and job search, I am at home researching the movement before I join it, like most should do.

Just my opinion***

[Palestine925]

1. A forcible overthrow of a government or social order for a new system.

2. (in Marxism) The class struggle that is expected to lead to political change and the triumph of communism.

3. A dramatic and wide-reaching change in the way something works or is organized or in people's ideas about it

[Palestine925]

I wonder how many people are actually there (Occupy movements) for a cause instead of just to be there or even know what a revolution is. People support revolution without knowing what it was. I was at a Lupe Fiasco show last night where they had this "Knight Revolution" thing (Knight = UCF Knights) and if you tell people the definition of revolution without telling them it's revolution most would oppose it.

[davekeays]

"WE ARE ANONYMOUS!"

By bad, at first I thought you were free-thinkers but it is looking more and more like a simple mob being manipulated by another.

History tells me that while mobs look like they have their own mind, there is always someone behind the curtain. I would have wished we learned from history and didn't have to repeat this one.

[powemetal4life]

JON BONES JONES!! QUINTON RAMPAGE JACKSON! HELL YEAH

[rioson41]

Stargate Universe sent me here.

[WuffPakk7]

OCCUPY WALL STREET!

OCCUPY TOGETHER!

WE ARE ANONYMOUS!

[thinkahol]

thinkahol "There is an alternative"

[V4VEND3TTA]

OCCUPY WALL STREET ! ! !

[PainIs4ThaWeak85]

@V4VEND3TTA Oh get off your following of the "occupy" bandwagon.... if you're following the "movement" for reasons other than personal concern, then this is EXACTLY what Saul DOESN'T stand for... (not that I need to speak for him) ...

... Maybe buying your own opinions works for you... I'll have to say I'm different.

[SuperMarioJedi]

This song comes at you so hard, it's fucking blinding. Love it.

[frankendk]

listen yall i love ufc im a fighter myself but lets keep the talk to the music this song is the shit thank you MOLLY :)

[SuperEzekial19]

Jones VS Rampage sent me here.

[LemonNation]

@SuperEzekial19 LOL, you never heard of Saul William's "List of Demands" before now?

[SuperEzekial19]

[zozeplaya]

Rampage via rape.

[pinkballoon88]

Good stuff!

[TerryMMA85]

thumbs down if you hate comments like rampage vs jones bought me here

[pompeylado]

JON JONES VS RAMPAGE BROUGHT ME HERE!!!

[BlariX]

Jon Jones vs Rampage? Oh yeah!

[Nazreth187]

Ya'll know that this song is racist right? This a direct black power message. I'm white, i still like it, and love Saul Williams music. but "I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hand. I'm GONNA RAISE MY FIST. AND YOU GONNA KNOW WHERE I STAND" ....I still fuck with it though. lol. I just think Racism needs to stop. not just against blacks. but against whites. and all others too.

[nakopf]

@Nazreth187 This song may deal with issues regarding race, as a good bit of Saul's music does, but I'd hardly call this song "racist". I imagine, Saul sees that class lines still follow, more or less, race lines and the disparity of wealth with respect to race is, in fact, growing. So in his defense there is still a lot to be said about "Reparations" and making our world a more just place; and for that I, for one, am thankful to Saul Williams.

[KingShaikh88]

@Nazreth187 I still dont see how its racist. Please explain

[FuckingCameron]

This makes me want to fight someone in a public place.

[hitman748]

@FuckingCameron Id watch you lose and make a buck.

[FuckingCameron]

@hitman748

I never said I'd WIN this imaginary conflict.

Unless I'm against a kindergartener. Or a midget.

Then it'd be a pretty close fight.

.

[leontrotsky911]

love u saul from ireland

[jdesmetphoto]

@LaFamiliaDerPate You must stop rapping dude, with your comment it clearly looks like you don't know what hip hop is.....

[superdarkmario2]

@LaFamiliaDerPate retard

[zombie32wes]

OW MY GOD! O_o Wot just happened?

[GuitarGuyandDrumDude]

you should listen it!

[cam6389]

@pigshade

Ah, he was right lol. This is off the self titled, 2004 album.

Although they're both incredible albums.

[akrulla]

I'm seeing him at Standon Calling this year!! He's the main reason I'm going. Siiiickckkckcnneeessss!!

[sinbad64]

Cool artist! - the self titled album this is off is excellent...

[correll28]

the GOVERNMENT has NO AUTHORITY to take OUR HARD EARNED MONEY and use it for ILLEGAL WARS THAT KILL INNOCENT LIVES to earn PROFITS FOR PRIVATE CORPORATIONS whilst using a PRIVATIZED CENTRAL BANK that is DESIGNED TO KEEP THE AVERAGE PERSON INDEBTED AND ENSLAVED FOR LIFE and TAKE AWAY HOMES. understand this us government-you work for US, not the other way around. we've got a list of demands.

[Renaissanceish]

@correll28 You get it.

[ceelman1]

@correll28 lol

[chimney330]

his teeth are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo white

[eepidoodle]

remember when i saw him live :) i was the only chick in the audience who know the words and im white. the look on his face was priceless.....his message reaches across racial boundries.

[panoulisch]

We aim to remember what we choose to forget,

God's just a baby and her diaper is wet

[EazyRun]

What a piece of luck I watched Arte!!

This man is damn awesome!!!

[TrampVamp]

17 people have smudged the list of demands on their hands

[Gnataliaa]

Mr Williams! Were you anyone else I would NOT have stayed up this late knowing I had to wake in 5 hours for work! Thank you for getting noticed by the world & entering my life.

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

Nice! I like Kele's side project!

[witness623]

[Jdub14000]

[SirDeady]

[latin0prid3]

[PIGd3stroyer]

I saw Saul in 2003 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. He opened for the Mars Volta and was really into the spoken word scene then. I had no idea this was him.

[lamzahs]

He is good...:)

[PilmarKhinKari]

It looks out of sync...good video though.

[youtubbiesNY]

thumbs up if u think best song!!!!!!!!!!!

[topsidesoul]

Saul Williams= screamin jay hawkins

[Newgear01]

@topsidesoul he'd wish 

[kinglouis4ever]

Everytime he opens his mouth , god's light appears

[SnowFox111]

What does he mean by, "God's just a baby and her diaper is wet" ??

[wileyrummel]

@SnowFox111 what makes you think its supposed to have a meaning?

[blazneg2007]

@wileyrummel Because Saul Williams is an artist, and artists delight in saying some thing without ever actually saying it.

[FonziFree]

Check out FONZIFREE Music page On Myspace

[hashishclub]

DRUM 'N' FACE!!!

[Auntkekebaby]

Is that the lady from Oyin handmade @2:22?

[MultiArrie]

The Hives, did this also.

[Zeph100]

ENLIGHTEN YOUR MINDS AND LISTEN TO SOME SAUL WILLIAMS / PHAROAHE MONCH / MOS DEF / TALIB KWELI / MF DOOM / KRS-ONE / DE LA SOUL.......to name a few

[plasticfavors]

Is something wrong with my computer? i want to play this record but then it comes an message that says "An error occured please try again later?

[Skuzel14]

@plasticfavors keep refreshing till it works

[HeartnSoul99]

This is obviously the Iggy POP "I wanna be your dog" riff which is the rythmic basis of the song, but S.W. skills are so wide that we are cought by this one too ! great...!

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

@HeartnSoul99 Yes I noticed that too...

BUT DAMNIT DOES THIS SONG MAKE ME WANNA DANCE AND JUMP LIKE A MADMAN!!!

[jormajoo]

I listened to Smack's version of I wanna be your dog and recognized this song right away.

[kassylion]

Sauls a dream.

TRENT REZNOR, ALLFLAWS and EL- P are also on another level.

Thank god for artists like this

[mrxdolliee]

Amen! :]

I personally prefer Trent but Saul is AMAZING as well!

[2ndsB4]

@kassylion fuck god, i thank those men!!

[Thesagga]

@kassylion reznor? he's only a noob

[alancito86]

Yeah! Or maybe he just brushes his teeth 3 times per day, that is comething most people don't' do. XD

[princekui]

His blackness amplifies whiteness of his teeth . :D

[alancito86]

That's what I said 4 days before dude. LOL!

[ukurtapas]

great song! nice to see black ppl can rock beside hip hop stereotip!

[Ontite]

Wow.. he has some really white teeth.

[alancito86]

Maybe they look that white because he's got dark skin. Most black people have this "whiter" teeth.

[510markman510]

yeh but hes got REALLY white teethh. even compared to other black ppl. think its jjust the lighting tho dunno

[mrxdolliee]

My teeth look yellow-ish cuz I am light skinned. xD

I'd prefer to be dark skin and have "white" teeth.

x]

[blahblahblahman]

@alancito86

If most black people have this "whiter teeth", it's because most black people practice good hygiene. Your teeth are not going to look "yellow" or "white" based upon your skin complexion.

[TopGunOriginal]

"I received a lot of questions from some about why I would allow my song 'List of Demands' to be used in a Nike campaign. Ironically, half of the people now reading this post never heard of me until that commercial aired. That, indeed, was one of my reasons for allowing it. A small circle of poets and conscious do-gooders are not enough to effect the change necessary to shift our planet in peril. We must enlist people from all walks of life, people not accustomed to questioning" -- Saul Williams

[TopGunOriginal]

"Quite simply, it was clear to me that people would not be rushing to the store to buy Nikes after seeing that commercial, but rather rushing to youtube or itunes to hear or download the song. I even imagined those who would be rushing to blogs to question how I could allow this to happen and the subsequent discussion of the ethical treatment of factory workers and how new minds would be informed and enlisted in the struggle for ethical change." -- Saul Williams

[imtheonlyIRIsH]

why is it so hard to get hold of your albums in the uk i had to order my copies on import it just a little frustrating as i preffer hard copies of albums rather than data files thanks and best wishes on a hopefully fruitful career  IRIsH

[Tubyubber]

[NoBitchAssNessBaby]

I love this song and wish more people could hear him and be influnced by him. Best live concert I've ever been to :-)

[alicemudgarden123]

@NoBitchAssNessBaby

He was ok when I saw him. Too much strobe during his shows XD

[CRAYON913]

is it a bad thing to be white and like saul?

[EenaJay]

No, why would you ask such a thing?

[seamonstersskeleton]

@CRAYON913 no

[avilesnba]

no....is your family rascist or something cuz thats the only way i can see you asking a question like that? Music is a freedom of choice.....not racial stereotypical categories that fit people

[lordellden]

awesome song and music video!

[Sinkinho]

all i can see are his white teeth :D

[rezpektOM]

in what world is your comment acceptable?

or are you just not aware of the slur?

i hope it is the latter.... peace.

[wwethememusic4life]

[Horrorclown2]

[chrisuede]

best.song.ever

[bndikt230]

wow is that song sexy i love it maaaaaaaan

[chunkylimey]

Listening to Saul on the way to work makes the day much more bearable. Connects you to something far more important than all the trivial shit you deal with everyday.

[faengerimhaver]

@chunkylimey it is freat when some songs do that. Connects you with real important things.

[FaithDevidesUs]

@chunkylimey yup, trivial and numbing. The lies and doctrine of western societies need constant confirmation, one line from Saul and you know the truth.

[wuschelmania]

saw it on the commercial too. love it!
