Is talented and breathtaking-if you ever get the chance to see him perform- his all powerful voice and knowledge are inspirational. Check out his books -enlighten yourself.

Saul just did a 2 and a half hour set at my school plus a one hour workshop, I was hanging on every word and I thought that I was a Saul Williams fan before today, but now just... I dont know...wow. He's just so well studied and has such a strong presence. If he's ever going to be with 300 miles of you, go to see him

WHAT AINT NO COUNTRY I EVER HEARD OF!!

I've seen him live twice, the first one was probably the best concert I've ever seen. The energy, potency and truth of it all is just incredible. The second time, even a friend of mine who was there with no interest in hip hop at all(not that mine is terribly deep, but he's a guitar viruoso in the style of Vai or Satriani with little tolerance for bad music) thought it was amazing. And that was the worse of the two shows. Great artist and performer, everyone should hear him.

I just saw him for the first time live when he opened for Nine Inch Nails...Pretty awesome I must say.

I saw him at bonnaroo 05', had no idea who he was, just staking out space for mars volta. Let me say he was a pleasant suprise, he was just so intense and i dont think i've payed as much attention in my life as i did during his show.

Saul Williams is brilliant. His mind is razor sharp and lightning quick. Transcendental meditation has served him well...his mind is wide open. And he pals around with some of the coolest cats on planet earth, including my main man, Stuart Davis. I'd love to get out to the Integral Institute and hang out with Ken Wilber and his amazing crew of seekers, including Saul.

I saw him live almost a year ago when he opened for Nine Inch Nails in Pensacola, FL. Me and like 10 people actually liked him, a lot of the other people were like "THANK GOD" when his set ended, I thought it was rude but expectant of men wearing metallica and pantera shirts.

Saw him a year ago with NIN as well, i'd seen him perform previously on Def Poetry as well before that.
Great show, lots of energy I hope I end up seeing him again sometime.

Yes I've seen him live. Alot of energy. He should be doing more acting too! He's great.
