saul williams makes the epitamy of commercial rap and rnb literally meaningless, fake and dolled up like a prostitute advertising and selling themselves to the industry we call entertainment. realism is freedom of those boundaries that higher powers set in place to keep the masses on one thought pattern like clones. in their monotone world where they buy the new eminem album not because they like rap but cause its on the pop-charts then watch fox and freinds instead of BBC thanks commercialism
I met this man yesterday, he came to our college to read some of his stuff. He's a really amazing guy, and the way he talks reflects the wisdom that his poetry contains.

@RainbowBabe151 It is actually not a Saul Williams line, it is a (translated from french) line from Victor Hugo :)
Anyway: I really really love this song; happy birthday Saul :3

My friend asked when listening to this song, "When is the beat gonna drop?" I said,"listen to the words that's the beat."

Saul Williams is s stranger to me. To know oneself, is to be able to spot themselves in another.
