English Version: If Trent Reznor supports a musician, you MUST FOLLOW and take seriously this artist, that's the case with: TV On The Radio , Death From Above 1979 among others. This time, Saul Williams is the recent new kid sponsored by Trent Reznor, and this week, TR announced, "he" will "do a Radiohead" with upcoming Saul Williams album "The Rise And Inevitable Liberation of NiggyTardust!" Ok, that's nice and I applaud they are following Radiohead's iniciative, but c'mon, even [...]
The dominoes continue to fall - Saul Williams just announced that he will be making his latest LP, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust , available online for free with non-DRM or for a $5 donation. As an incentive to support Saul, the $5 donation will give you access to 320 kbit/s or FLAC files, while the free version is 192kbit/s. A great move for those left annoyed by the lower quality of In Rainbows . Go to Saul Williams official site to pre-register for the album! [...]
You can find the best stuff with StumbleUpon and StumbleVideo . If you don't know about it check it out. It's one more way to waste time on the Internet.

Saul Williams is most known for his blend of spoken word poetry and hip-hop. Fame on the spoken-word circuit led him to the lead role in the 1998 feature film Slam, which won both [...]
Since its beginnings in the 70's, Hip Hop has been scorned and villified in the media. Every couple of years, a serious debate arises in the US from the result of some rapper's actions, lyrics or the culture. Breakdancing was blamed for copycat-induced injuries from kids wanting to be like the breakers, Graffitti artists were the bane of NY subway nightwatchmen, sampling brought about the question of ownership of sound, NWA & 2 Live Crew and the advent of gangsta rap brought up the issue of censorship. Even in January this year, DJ Drama and DJ Cannon were arrested for [...]
Saul Williams: An Open Letter to Oprah Winfrey. "Hip Hop is simply a reflection of the society that birthed it. Our love affair with gangsterism and the denigration of women is not rooted in Hip Hop; rather it is rooted...

This is HIPHOP RAP POETRY IN FULL EFFECT ! http://www.cs.sonoma.edu/~nwer ner/music/saulwilliamslivejan3 12003.mp3SaulWilliams__TwiceTh eFirstTime.mp3Man, this love of hip-hop is like investing in a martial relationship, way past its prime, simply for the sake of the children, not realizing that we are actually f*cking up their entire conception of relationships. They will be forced to work it out for the rest of their lives, falling in and out of love. Ive outgrown you (144). -From The Dead Emcee Scrolls: The Lost Teachings of Hip-Hop by Saul Williams Award-winning screenwriter/actor and MC, Saul Williams is o­ne of the most influential and important poets around.

"I remember being introduced to the hip-hop/electronica sub-genre, drum and bass, by one of its pioneers, Goldie . I accompanied him to his DJ set at the London club, the Blue Note . After about an hour of him staring straight into my eyes, gold teeth glaring, miming or pointing to every invisible, yet highly audible, bass line, kick, snare, and high hat, he took me outside and instructed me to monitor my heartbeat so that I might note that the intensity of the music in the club had actually sped it up so that my [...]

King Missile - It's Saturday I couldn't resist starting with this one. It's about protesting just for the sake of protesting as having something to do. It's done with just spoken word and crazy awesome drumming. Because, "whatever happened to protesting nothing in particular, just protesting, because it's saturday, and there's nothing else to do." Ani DiFranco - Coming Up I could have chosen any number of her songs, really: Ani DiFranco's career is a statement of protest, [...]
Ända sedan Musikbyrån summerade musikåret 2005 med sin årsbästalista så har jag haft Robyns och Jenny Wilsons avslutande låt i bakhuvudet. De gör en väldigt avskalad version av Saul Williams låt List of demands men de gör det med en sådan självklarhet att det verkar som om de jobbat ihop länge och inte bara inför detta korta framträdande. Via It's a trap (när vi ändå är inne på guldkorn) ser jag nu att man kan se denna [...]
So we've reached the end of the year and I thought it was time to reflect on what a great year 2005 was for music. Some of these releases were from 2004, but I only heard them this year, So that counts as 2005 for me. I'm offering every track here so you can see what I'm talking about. Download them, make a compilation, share it. I have to say without the fantastic music blogs out there, there is a lot of music on this list I would never have heard (and subsequently bought the CD). Hats off to music [...]
