Dying is something you have no control over. Why waste your life being afraid of it?
Saul Williams
Image
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?

Image
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.

What I'm aiming to do within hip-hop is to point out that the music itself is powerful it reaches so many people.

If not then you must be trying to hear us and in such cases we cannot be heard. We remain in the darkness, unseen. In the center of unpeeled bananas, we exist. Uncolored by perception. Clothed to the naked eye. Five senses cannot sense the fact of our existence. And that's the only fact. In fact, there are no facts.

The music aids the message, it's there to punctuate and abbreviate and shape the silence

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

I'm very excited about the resurgence of vinyl which seems to parallel a growing interest in live performance.

Сommercial hip-hop is not youth rebellion, not when the heroes of hip-hop like Puffy are taking pictures with Donald Trump and the heroes of capitalism - you know that's not rebellion. That's not the street - that's Wall Street.

I've never believed it's really so important that you conform to the ways of the system in order to beat the system. I think that the system follows a great deal.

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

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

It's not the rules everywhere, you know? That's not the rules everywhere - that things have to be dumbed down in order to become massively popular. And that hasn't always been the rule, even in America.

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.

When I wake up in the morning, the first things that I see are the clouds. They're right there. I look out my window now and there's always, always a black bird of some sort on the ledge there. Usually I wake up and look at the birds.
