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.

Your library teacher would say, What happens to a generation that doesn't read the Classics? Me, I'm not your library teacher. But I have some of the same questions and concerns, you know?
Saul Williams
Image
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.
Saul Williams
Image
I can't say that I always want to get out of bed, you know.
Saul Williams
Image
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
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
I have a very family-like connection to hip-hop, which is why it frustrates me so much.
Saul Williams
Image
I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.

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

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