Saul Williams

[keagan]

Im going to see Saul Williams tonight, not quite sure what to expect...taking a lady with as kind of a "first date" thing, I am kind of worried it will be to abrasive and depressing for this kind of situation.

Has anyone been to one of his spoken word gigs before?

[ally fu]

Seen him support NIN last year a few times. Really good. I knew nothing about him before hand and I was pleasantly surprised.

Hi lyrics are powerful, but I wouldn't say he was depressing. I'm sure your lady friend will have a good time.

If she doesn't like it then you can make it up to her later ...

So how'd you like him? Amthyst rocks shclack clack!

i think if your lady is into poetry she will definitely enjoy it

Saw Saul yearrssssss back. Way before that record came out. He's on point, lyrically and flow-wise as well. His style is informed by 80s to early 90s hip hop so he has quite a few references to that era, Rakim in particular.

I remember watching SLAM on VHS! And then I saw him at the Keepin' Time performance. What do you think of the radios from the Black Stacy video?

Never saw the Black Stacy video. I may have to YouTube that one.

Saw him last year on campus at Brandeis University. The twenty black kids that go to the school were there. Ive been a fan for a few years, hes good live if he doesnt get carried away preaching stuff.

Yeah I ended up going, he was actually really funny. Lady friend liked it, as did I. He didn't even use a mic... his voice is that powerful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
