It is my greatest honor to present to you The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!,
my new album produced by Trent Reznor and mixed by Alan Moulder. The wall of sound that we've created is tagged with such graffiti that a passerby would seek out doors and ways to ENTER. Once inside a world defined by dreams come true they'd find aligned with the simplest act of sharing what we treasure. Most people aren't aware of the world of art and commerce where exploitation strips each artist down to nigger. Each label, like apartheid, multiplies us by our divide and whips us 'til we conform to lesser figures. What falls between the cracks is a pile of records stacked to the heights of talents hidden from the sun. Yet the energy they put into popularizing smut makes a star of a shiny polished gun. The ballot or the bullet for Mohawk or the mullet is a choice between new times and dying days. And the only way to choose is to jump ship from old truths and trust dolphins as we swim through changing ways. The ways of middlemen proves to be just a passing trend. We need no priests to talk to God. No phone to call her. And when you click the link below, i think it fair that you should know that your purchase will make middlemen much poorer...
NiggyTardust!
love,
Saul
I am usually not into hip hop too much but man this cd is produced and backed by Trent Reznor..And its good...
like the noise and stuff could have been pulled out of any song on Year Zero
fortunately, I liked Year Zero
I agree..WTF shouldve been on Year Zero, and the Sunday Bloody Sunday remake as awesome as it is, and truthfully better than the original shouldve been on maybe a B-Side of some YZ track as well
It definitely sounds like Reznor. I'm not sure about some of it though. I bought the FLAC version, and I would say I'm enjoying some of it. Reznor's production is great, however I'm not so sure about the whole spoken word thing. Saul is obviously a great poet and a lyricist, but it doesn't seem to translate well into a song.
dloaded the album. yeah, the reznor is way too overpowering. but, then again, i don't dig the digital/ambient/ static sound all of his stuff has. it's rare i get into anything like that, atari teenage riot being the exception.
the best part of williams' stuff is in black history month, about 2 mins. in, it goes a capella, and it's great. the rest isn't too bad, just not what i'd listen to, due to the reznor.

year one is the most ridiculously blatant knee-jerk pseudo-political drech I have heard since I read the internet
also his voice is shit and no amount of computers or beeps and boops will make it better
so
pass
It's like NIN got a new singer who is allowed to say the word only black people are allowed to say.
Everything else is the same
