More quotes by Saul Williams
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.
Saul Williams
When I look at certain aspects of popular culture - not everything because I like a lot of things - sometimes my heart breaks a little bit, just a little bit. I begin to ponder what happened to this generation, I don't know.
Saul Williams
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.
Saul Williams
I think everybody on this planet does that - trying to capture your dream after you wake up.
Saul Williams
Hip-hop is too young to put a definition on it
Saul Williams
It's crazy when you see very little reflection between what's played on the radio and what people are talking about in the streets. It lets you know how far off we are from a real movement.
Saul Williams
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.
Saul Williams
I dance for no reason, for reasons you can't dance, Call me an activist of intellectualized circumstance You can't learn my steps until you unlearn your thoughts Spirit, soul, can't be store-bought.
Saul Williams
i am like a survivor of the flood walking through the streets drenched with God surprised that all of the drowned victims are still walking and talking
Saul Williams
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.
Saul Williams
I don't really believe in writer's block or anything like that. If I'm not feeling words, I may pick up an instrument and play with sounds or delve into different types of creativity and expression.
Saul Williams
Legislation won't necessarily start a riot. But the right song can make someone pick up a chair.
Saul Williams
My father's a preacher, my mother's a teacher, thus... I rhyme.
Saul Williams
the anchor man thrown overboard has simply rooted us in history's repeating cycle
Saul Williams
Vulnerability is power.
Saul Williams
Art can play a major role. I look at art as an alternative source of energy, the same way we might look at wind or solar or lithium batteries.
Saul Williams
Music has always pushed ahead social movements and can do much more than just dumb down a populace.
Saul Williams
I am hoping for peaceful transition into a new age. Obama has already played a great role in initiating us into that vision. If he were to be harmed in any way, it would spawn the birth of a million Obamas.
Saul Williams
I want to connect music to its highest power - which is heightening consciousness and affecting people's reality. That can't be done in normal ways, not according to my experience.
Saul Williams
I remember back in the day when Chuck D called hip-hop the black people's CNN. Well now, hip-hop is more like Fox News. It's biased, and highly suspect.
