  • Be an artist not a conformist, love that!!!

  • A friend and I picked up this man from the airport when he came to perform for a benefit at Brandeis. He flew in from Cali and was justifiably hungry, so we drive through downtown Waltham, on a Saturday, precisely during the 2 hour break ALL Waltham restaurants are closed before dinner. All he wanted was some vegan some shit and we couldnt provide that with our wack means. He said, "It's cool, it's better this way. Lemme go to the hotel, take a quick nap, and I'll see y'all at 7."

  • STAY GOLDEN SAUL.

  • I think that what he's describing is called an auto-ethnography...or at least it could be considered to be one.

  • I've always created art of all forms music, painting, drawing, writing - the more i fight to create art the more i am actually fighting to look inward - to tear out anything dishonest and be as honest as possible. People like Saul Williams are the true artists of today - they value looking inwards. He's a great inspiration as always, a genius.

  • @RockFanatic319 Tell me about it. I actually hate rap music but, I was truly blown away when I heard him. I have not heard anything in any form of music that sounds like him. A great creative imaginative and amazingly unique artist. Besides who can't go wrong with someone who samples Bad Brains.

  • I'm glad to see of him again. I first saw this talented, genius brother in the poetic, survival-in-the-street-life-of­-some-black people film in SLAM!!! He is SUPA-Awesome!!

  • love the message..

  • I was turned on to him after he was on Girlfriends...(I know lol) but this brotha is the truth. His intellect is so effin sexy!

  • Saul Williams forever. Who cares if youre black, blue, red or yellow. If you are a true artist, then you will connect with those people that are looking for something more than what we are being fed everyday on MTV and the radio. MTV and the radio are tools to make money, nothing more so don't get the facts confused. Saul is one of the FEW true artists alive today. I don't usually listen to hip hop, but his dude is the motherfucking man

  • I love this guy!!!
