There is nothing more negligent than attempting to address a problem one finds on a branch than by censoring the leaves.

Why shouldn't rap be esoteric, able to take in current events, history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers, because they're black, can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.

There's so much to be found in literature, especially if you don't have the money to travel or the means to get out of your neighborhood or get off work.

There is no music more powerful than hip-hop. No other music so purely demands an instant affirmative on such a global scale. When the beat drops, people nod their heads, “yes,” in the same way that they would in conversation with a loved one, a parent, professor, or minister.

If you're just addressing your own emotions and challenging yourself to find some sort of harmonious sense of being in life and questioning authority and questioning what's given and questioning what's expected of you, you're already on the cusp of finding something in yourself, and maybe waking something in somebody else.

I have a very family-like connection to hip-hop, which is why it frustrates me so much.

It was always important to me to be that kid who could rock the party as well as rock the English professor's mind.

Jay Z and President Bush have a lot in common, that same brash confidence

Niggy Tardust' is the voice of a generation, a generation that does not define itself simply by what it's born into.
Saul Williams

What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the definition of it. There needs to be more balance on the airwaves.

Some rather seek up high Than dig and grind that inner truth

I spend my time sitting in train stations, parks, parking lots, cafes, just looking at people - eavesdropping, basically. I'm vulnerable to all of it.

I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.

I'm somewhat of an empath, I would say. I relate easily to ideas and stories, books, films, music. I'm moved by all of these things. Art in general. But not just art, you know?

American culture is often so self-consumed that we often think that our problems are just our problems.
