The only reason I've been so critical of hip-hop is because I've always been aware of the effect that it has, and the reflection that it gives of the African-American community.

I'm a very sensitive person at times. Not just to words that anybody says, but in relationships for example, the people that you open up to, you listen to, you hear - you know? So a lot of times, the key to some of my vulnerability is just through things, simple things - or critiques or whatever - or could be very simple things that are said.

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
Music has always pushed ahead social movements and can do much more than just dumb down a populace.
Saul Williams

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

I think that heartbreak is a good thing.

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.

My father's a preacher, my mother's a teacher, thus... I rhyme.
