Saul Williams
I saw ‘List of Demands’ on 120 Minutes a few years ago and really liked it, so downloaded the single (including the sweet Kid 606 remix). I didn’t take it any further, but had it in my head that this was a guy who had important things to say.
A month or so ago, I read his ‘Open Letter to Oprah Winfrey’ on the Strange Famous Forum and was inspired enough to buy Said the Shotgun to the Head, which totally blew me away.
Anyway, I’m writing this cos I bought Saul’s self-titled album the other day, and it’s awesome! Check out both his music and writing if you get chance.

I really enjoyed the book, the best part of all was the introduction; it took my breath away. I hope Mr. Williams continues to write such inspiring work

Hi Ife, yeah I do too! I have ‘She’ but not had chance to read it yet. The bits I’ve read of ‘Dead Emcee Scrolls’ are pretty mind-blowing too, not as easy to get into as ‘Said the Shotgun…’ but still worth a look.
