Image
I was fed by the music I listened to as a kid. Hip-hop fed me psychologically, spiritually, politically. I learned from that music.
Saul Williams
Image
It was always important to me to be that kid who could rock the party as well as rock the English professor's mind.
Saul Williams
Image
My father's a preacher, my mother's a teacher, thus... I rhyme.
Saul Williams
Image
The organization of self, and all self-aligning principles would be those that I promote.
Saul Williams
Image
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
Image
What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the definition of it. There needs to be more balance on the airwaves.
Saul Williams
Image
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.

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

Vulnerability is power.

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

I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.
Saul Williams
Image
I can't say that I always want to get out of bed, you know.
Saul Williams
Image
Music has always pushed ahead social movements and can do much more than just dumb down a populace.
Saul Williams
Image
When I finally decide that I'm ready to get out of bed, it could be the sunlight, it could be the fact that I'm awake, and, OK, first of all, I wake up in the morning because I have to go to the bathroom.
Saul Williams
Image
I have a very family-like connection to hip-hop, which is why it frustrates me so much.
Saul Williams
Image
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
Image
Hip-hop is still cool at a party. But to me, hip-hop has never been strictly a party it is also there to elevate consciousness.
Saul Williams
Image
Legislation won't necessarily start a riot. But the right song can make someone pick up a chair.

The role that theater has placed in enhancing consciousness and moving systems ahead. I think of what South African theater meant for the apartheid movement, for example. I think of what music has meant for so many social movements across time.
