Saul is one of the greatest wordsmiths on the planet. Just watch SLAM

Saul Williams is immensely intelligent, socially cognizant, poet genius, and culturally relevant. Love his speaking voice and thinking.

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.

@@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

I knew Kanye didn't come up with that style himself. That's why you need this platform to educate. Thank you Sway!

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.

Saul Williams living legend extremely dope

Deepest nigga EVER BEST INTERVIEW EVER🔥

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

the OG. he sounds like hes doing spoken word just speaking normally... ha. everyone should watch SLAM if you havnt. great flick

Saul is the realest

This man could put any rapper to shame, guaranteed

LOVE THE RESPECT HEATHER B SHOWS SAUL WILLIAMS... HEATHER B SO OFFICAL

Wow i've been a long time fan of this great artist

Wow awesome performance. Great platform Sway. Keep up the good work!

7 minutes in, and already this is a dope interview

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

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.

I think Saul Williams is Joey Bada$$ in the future. If you disagree, go listen to Joey's track "Amethyst Rockstar".

15:52 So true, a supposedly "mature" market is one that's been fully used up and a new market is one that's fresh and ready to be over run and used up. But in nature mature is sustainable, bio-diverse, pristine, abundant, not dead.
