First establishing himself as an influential poet, and then as an award-winning screenwriter/actor, Saul Williams then went on to establish himself as an MC. His approach to MCing, though, wasn"t exactly in line with the traditional school of hip-hop. His rhymes weren"t really rhymes but rather his poetry delivered in a frenzied spoken word manner that was more rhythmic than alliterate. This is his third album with guests like Zach de la Roca and members from Mars Volta. 2005.
