Saul Williams is still good and he didn't sell out to nike. His song brought attention back to how they treat their workers. It was nike's mistake to select a popular song without examining the context. He just got paid to open a company' old wounds on a serious issue while building a new fan base.

I wouldn't call that selling out. Thats just being smart.

His tongue is as refined as that of Vergil, so is mine, but I am no poet.

I had considered once to translate Saul Williams' poem(s) into Latin and in the farther future, into Sanskrit, but it seems too difficult now that I've tried it. :) It seems to be that indeed Yoda was right: "No. Do not try, do, there is no try."

'In' Tibetan buddhism, everything arises and self-liberates in its own space. Life can be better, with awareness. I feel tha effects thereof, NOW AND NOW AND NOW AND NOW. Pleace meditate on shit.

He didn't even know nike used the song, his record company sold it.

[KARASUNSTAR]

this guy used to be good until he sold out to nike

all of these conscious artists are selling out to big corporations. signs of the times.
