I think that heartbreak is a good thing.
Saul Williams
Image
The music aids the message, it's there to punctuate and abbreviate and shape the silence
Saul Williams
Image
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Books are carefully folded forests/void of autumn/bound from the sun
Saul Williams
Image
I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.
Saul Williams
Image
the anchor man thrown overboard has simply rooted us in history's repeating cycle
Saul Williams
Image
I have a very family-like connection to hip-hop, which is why it frustrates me so much.
Saul Williams
Image
Some rather seek up high Than dig and grind that inner truth
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
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.

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.
