Saul Williams Gives in to the Machine

Oh Saul, it looks like it finally got the best of you. Now that your song has been used for a Nike campaign, you are now one of them and you can no longer preach your consciousness. Just kidding. We still got you, Saul.

He’s written an open letter to defend his decision, basically saying that to make an omelette (spread awareness of your cause), you have to break some eggs (sell your song to Nike). I agree. Kill that shit, homey. Shave that beard, become a pop superstar, whatever it takes. I’m still not picking up a book, though.
