06.24.2008 An Intimate Talk with Saul Williams

PopMatters.com sat down with Saul Williams after a recent concert for an in-depth interview about technology, writing, race and reality.

Iâve traveled through the album several times and it has many different levels and perspectives: sometimes [itâs in] first person and others times you play a character. You can listen to it as a story, a teaching [experience] or a chance to let loose on the dance floor.
And I created it that way. On one level I just wanted to make a really cool dance album. You donât have to understand the words, in several places itâs where I placed the words and how they sound rhythmically, how they fit the groove and tempo and the overall feel of the song. As a listener whoâs looking for a good beat, itâs about finding those pockets. And if youâre looking for the political stuff then there are those pockets as well.
