Saul Williams is a legend. Mad respect
For selling his Song to Nike ?
Politics and Dance gotta feed the fam
Politics and Dance whats wrong with that?
he already had enough money to eat, did not need to work with a company that exploits people. he is a hipocrite
everyone who heard his art 1st thru Nike was changed...ur Higha Level Self hits a Growth Spurt when he spits... He AND Me don't want folks to be denied that .. Transends what he might do 4 Nikes brand...THE uNiVerse gets GIDDY when minds meet Saul's mouth
Saul is one of the greatest wordsmiths on the planet. Just watch SLAM
Can we get a Saul and Kendrick collaboration? That would be another level of #dopeness...
No disrespect to Lamar but Williams is completely on a different level. Unfortunately he is too deep for the general audience, which means he is not going to make Lamar money.
Another collab between Saul and Trent Reznor is what Im really hoping for before I die
As long as their egos stay levelled,!..
@@dinobrya2 disagree pal
we got saul and denzel collab
Saul Williams is immensely intelligent, socially cognizant, poet genius, and culturally relevant. Love his speaking voice and thinking.
Saul is the fucking MAN. been such a fan for years. finally saw him for the first time at rough trade tuesday and he was so fucking cool. signed my cd and my bros copy of US(A)...thanks again saul!
Saul Williams is the fucking man! One of my true inspirations
Mines as well
He is a real life genius.
his assessment of Macklemore was on point
He shut him down without saying anything!!!....witty 🤓🤓🤓
I love hearing Saul speak!
WTF did I just watch? Amazing person, that I never knew existed and can see a lot of artist within him. I am of Haitian descent and will probably search my whole life to understand the country and the history.
+WhoIsDesir Try starting with the film Slam, then pick up Amethyst Rock Star.
***** Thank you.
Jean-Desir he is a BEAST try to find his poetry without music. Just straight poetry... he is my GOAT poet
Coded language
That changed my life.
@@notasmyself6182 yeah. I love several of his albums, but his spoken word work and his published work (especially _...Said the Shotgun to the Head_ ) are on another level.
Saul Williams been a beast, listen to his track with Nas.
His description of his creative process is probably one of the best descriptions of such a thing ive heard
sounds like he's spitting poetry at all times i could listen to him all day
Deepest nigga EVER BEST INTERVIEW EVER🔥
Aye that second song goes in! I'm in my seat bobbing my head. Jamming. His energy infectious
Slam is still an inspiration for me. A personal favorite.
I knew Kanye didn't come up with that style himself. That's why you need this platform to educate. Thank you Sway!
timeless, watch this at any time and feel like it's real time. Hip hop go to sleep, hip hop wake up, thank you Saul
Wow i've been a long time fan of this great artist
LOVE THE RESPECT HEATHER B SHOWS SAUL WILLIAMS... HEATHER B SO OFFICAL
Saul Williams living legend extremely dope
Wow awesome performance. Great platform Sway. Keep up the good work!
7 minutes in, and already this is a dope interview
Saul is the realest
the OG. he sounds like hes doing spoken word just speaking normally... ha. everyone should watch SLAM if you havnt. great flick
what a conversation! his energy was amazing
Saul is dope. Always. Respect the creativity and the skills. Keep an eye on this brotha.
OMG!!! a man after my own heart. ♥ u Saul. Thank you
Salute Sway. Saul is one of my favorite artists of all time. He's a one of one. None before and none after. Peace to him
Saul is the fucking man
This man could put any rapper to shame, guaranteed
This was dope!
was able to see holler if ya hear me. it was awemazing!! Love his vibes ✊
I’m jealous. Since I was like, 15 ive been saying that a hip-hop based Broadway show would knock the world on its ass. It’s just so obvious. Hip-hop is the only genre of popular music where the _lyrics_ are king.
Outstanding Interview phenomenal Being Saul Williams
13:00 “Anytime is Good time to write”
He looks like Myke C-Town
Look like Myke C-Town & Young Thug did the Fusion Dance
+Fly King Watch Me whip..Watch me Fusion
I've always thought the same thing
*****
calm down
+Fly King ...Lmao that's on point haha.
Saul be getting me hyped up!!!
I love the wisdom of sway to Let it breath and give the audience a moment to digest this level of Artistic Genius 👑👑👑
Without 808s & Heartbreak Drake probably wont be as popular
Kanye
+Red Robin No he means Drake
or Future
+TheBigTerm naw Gucci made it possible for him to be mumbling
+Red Robin naw, harmonizing and being melodic thru auto tune
This dude music is different. Bright too!
I love Saul Williams!
I think Saul Williams is Joey Bada$$ in the future. If you disagree, go listen to Joey's track "Amethyst Rockstar".
god knows....and i know him personally and he lets me call him ME
Saul Williams got an album called Amethyst Rock Star
+Johnny C. That's the point.
I gotcha
+Andre Carter II Joey badass does not come close to Saul Williams. You might as well be comparing Nas to Gil Scot heron
Love this guy!
You do have the answers, Sway!
yo that last track is mental!
super dope
Killed it.
8:40 Sway constantly admiring the hand and wrist jewelry game.
Saul wrecked that live.....big up!
Saul is a dope artist..
this man has the words!
Pure genius! Slam
holy shit!!
Hard!!!
can´t believe i missed this 7 years ago!
Word he mentioned Esthero she's dope well her producer Doc made her but she was cutting edge
This guy is the truth!!!
Salute!
Great music great soul.
Kid cudi evolved, waiting for the rest of the rappers.
sway givin the mic head with the head bob
he's very real
love this kid
brilliant
You can tell where Kanye gets his spoken word style from.
Красивая блондинка whatchu talking about? Kanye hasn't really done a spoken word style ever.
Nicholas Lim ZJ uuuhhh ya he has. look up kanye west on def poetry jam. he has done all kinds of different shit....do some research before ya comment. lol
Anthony Kumar he was just reciting lyrics from his song that's not spoken word bro
That story about the Hennessy is so rockstar
i love his free style
he got that struggle pony tail
I didn't even give that track my ear. I was dumb founded at who made it. Song=Money.... please. Thought provoking... Great interview!
Genius!!!
Saul Williams is so real❤
gotta love the knowledge Saul possesses.
It was going from the Henny to the OE or down to malt from hard liquor that got him to pass out lol
Just bought his album. I like Saul, but this is my first album of his.
Check our Amythest Rockstar, Self-Titled and especially The Inevitable Rise and Emancipation of Niggy Tardust. Those are his three best albums. Then you can get into the books...
new look to show intro is a good thing.
Hell yeah. Hella iconic. I feel like I'm at a huge concert backstage
Yeah its about time they switched it up. New intro is way better
FUCKING AWESOME!!!!
Basement parties in pyramids?? Dope
+otg1500 It's a poem, 'Untimely Meditations" in his book Dead See Scrolls. Sometimes he performs it by interpolating it with songs.
love the Insane vs Sane conversation
Saul is a great spirit.
Asked about Macklemore...Spoke on Tef Poe...Fresh...STL...Love.
I'm just gonna sit here imagining what part in Hamilton his boss ass would do, and loving every possible casting.
Respect to SauL Williams. Baltimore is slowly healing
My favorite poet!
KING
Regarding Kanye, he forgot to mention his verse on 'Never Let me down' on College Dropout.
Nick Russell it wasn't Saul
Lmaoo at the end they played New Slaves after that convo that he said he made the original yeezuz type music
Never heard of this dude but he real af. When he raps it sounds like Kid Cudi
Yo that Kanye story was incredible. I fux with Saul man. Real cool dude
One of the greatest poets to ever live
I been saying death grips didn't influence Yeezus, it was Saul
let the beat ride out saul
Deep
The music reminds me of Angel Haze
'they approached the boat in reddish paint, naked they staring at our robes and garments giving thanks, down down from the sky down they seem to think we came'
Saul made me actually like Christopher Columbus's words, incredible talent.
+elmagico17 you weren't suppose to like him bro
DAMN That Down For Some Ignorance is deep bruh
I guess this is what Kanye was trying to do with Yezzus
Track on 33 mins in sounds like a Skream track
that song around 33:00 is pretty dope!
OBSERVE SAUL WILLIAMS RESPONSE TO SWAY'S QUESTION ABOUT MACKLEMORE. THE WAY HE RESPONDED IS THE FUCKING DEFINITION OF KEEPING IT REAL. SWAY COULD FUCKING LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS.
Kanye biting everything from Saul. Saul has been killing it for years! This interview was great
Gordon Pyle Kanye did like 1 album that was influenced by Saul. They're both great but you're acting like anything Kanye has done aside from Yeezus sounds anything like Saul Williams. Kanye didn't bite, just influenced.
Nicholas Lim ZJ ha! I'm a Kanye h8er. besides his pro trump rant I haven't enjoyed Kanye for years.
@@spainbarcarealmadrid I'd say the trilogy from 808 to Yeezus
The shit about macklemore is spot on G
