The last minutes of this interview where Saul Williams is discussing his new album are pure gold. When I first heard the title of his new album "Martyr Loser King," I didn't pick up the reference to Martin Luther King, but I DID understand how he was using those words before I heard his explanation. I'm glad that we're on the same wavelength :-)

Lifting up a prism to codes that you might not have yet.

a great interviewer. unheard of these days. keep it up man!

[@knocknapeasta]

Great interview, but it's a shame he's wearing the sunglasses though... aside from looking like Basquiat and Morpheus walked into a bar, it hides the sincerity of his personal convictions.
