Not sure if this should be in the music forum or not. Because technically, he's more of a spoken word poet and not so much a musician. Then again, who's to say poetry isn't music? What he is, though, is amazing. He has a new album that was produced with Trent Reznor called Niggytardust. The website is below if you'd like to check it out.

Saul Williams - The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!

So, I recently watched Saul Williams movie, Slam. Amazing. Very low budget, not the greatest acting (which disappointed me since Saul went to school to be an actor), but the story and the street poetry/modern poetry/hip hop/just plain old fashion poetry, whatever you wish to call it, made it completely worth while.


Also, another interesting thing I'd like to add about Saul..I bought his book, "The Dead Emcee Scrolls", in which he starts the book with a "confession". In the foreword, he explains how much of the poetry he's become famous for, wasn't actually his. He found a bunch of old aged paper with strange writing on it inside a spray paint can while observing some graffiti. He was unable to read what the paper said, thinking it was an original alphabet by some unknown graffiti artist. One night, he decided to try and make a copy of the symbols, he would look at the paper, and without looking at his hand, copy what he saw. When he did this, he found he was able to read what the papers said, and they started to form words, and then poems.

This is very interesting to me. He claims the sheets of rolled up paper look very aged, saying the looked as if they could be pyramid old, and yet the poems had a very modern content to them. There were 7 of these scrolls inside the paint can, the first two videos I posted above are 2 of the 7.

So because of this, in the book, he does not claim ownership of this material, and says instead he's just a vessel through which it's been brought to light.

I have never heard of him before. When I have a little more time I will look at his music and tell you what I think of him.
