SAUL WILLIAMS – ARTISTS SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT REAL ISSUES

All day all I’ve been thinking about is getting home and listening to some Saul Williams interviews and poems. Aside from Coded Language and Amethyst Rock I stumbled across this interview with 247HH and I really enjoyed his perspective on where music is, and where artists should be trying to take it to. I agree wholeheartedly with his assertion that in America everything is -to a substantial degree -driven by our own aesthetic, which isn’t necessarily terrible, it just isn’t conducive to the growth of any of our genres. Like most of his work, this was truly eye-opening.
