Saul Williams made some of his fans mad when he did this Nike ad so he wrote this big thing defending himself that’s up on Fader. If he didn’t say things like “Scared money don’t make none” he wouldn’t have to worry about it. Nobody complained when Santogold did a Ford ad, a Bud Light ad, and that Converse song with Julian Casablancas and Pharrell.

Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

Nigga’s gotta eat, man.
I have to remember his form of commentary– drown your audience in diarrhea and hope they forget what they were saying. Maybe it reads better over a beat?

MAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN that shit was long as hell. Fuck all that. If he’s so hard core, and strong why does he feel the need to write a book defending his choice to get that paper? Money is good.

I just saw T. Rez shake his gay bone last night, not bad, not bad at all except for all the fucking geniuses listening to korn in the porking lot. Ok, this Saul thing originally came bundled with the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM5VS97Jx-U in email form. Musicians allowing you to download albums now for free is how this came to me.

note – Saul Williams is on Fader who is owned by Cornerstone, who does marketing for Nike. Also, Santogold is also a part of Cornerstone who does marketing for Bud and Converse. Know the game, it’s time to be independent once again.

All those corporate ties, and Self-Righteous Saul STILL wants reparations? Methinks he’s doing a trifle better than he would be if his ancestors had never been plucked from their eternally prosperous homeland.
He was one of the first bitches to bitch about my VICE “Dumb Myths and Smart Facts About Slavery” article. He called my facts “socalled [sic] factual data” without, OF COURSE, pointing to one particle of anything that wasn’t factual about them. Then he implied that white kids might get “black eyes” as a result of the article.
Fuck him with a plunger. He’s more full of shit than NYC’s sewer system.

Like the song and without the ad i would have probably never heard it.
