If he would have said "corporate hip-hop" I would be ALL in, but I get the sentiment. Such a great piece.

Saul Williams played the Queen Elizabeth Hall last night as part of his Chorus book promotion tour. He finished his set with what is probably one of my favorite poems of his. Telegram to Hiphop. Enjoy.

I'm falling up flights of stairsscraping myself from the sidewalkjumping from rivers to bridgesdrowning in pure airHip Hop is lying on the side of the road, half dead to itselfblood scrawled over its mangled flesh, like jazzstuffed into an oversized record bagtuba lips swollen beyond recognitiondiamond studded teeth strewn like rice at Karma's weddingthe ring bearer bore bad newsminister of information wrote the wrong proclamationnow everyone's singing the wrong songdissonant chords find necks like noosesthat nigga kicked the chair from under my feetHarlem shaking from a rope, but still on beat"Damn, that loop is tight!" nigga found a way to sample the way, the truth, the lightcan't wait to play myself at the party tonightniggas are gonna die!cop car swerves to the side of the roadHip Hop takes its last breaththe cop scrawls vernacular manslaughter onto a yellow padthen balls the paper into his hand, deciding he'd rather freestyleyou have the right to remain silentyou have the right to remain silentyou have the right to remain silentand maybe you should have, before your bullshit manifestedTelegram to Hip Hop:Dear Hip Hop, (Stop)This shit has gone too far (Stop)Please see that turntables and mixer returned to Kool Herc (Stop)The ghettos are dancing off beat (Stop)The master of ceremonies have forgotten that they were once slaves and have neglected the occasion of this ceremony (Stop)Perhaps you shouldn't have allowed them to use cordless microphones for they have walked too far from the source and are emitting a lesser frequency (Stop)Please inform all interested parties that cash nor murder have been included to the list of elements (Stop)We are discontinuing our line of braggadocio in light of the current trend in "realness" (Stop)As an alternative, we will be confiscating weed supplies and replacing them with magic mushrooms in hopes of helping niggas see beyond their reality (Stop)Give my regards to Brooklyn

It's so ironic when he spits the verse, "you have the right to remain silent" amid the imbeciles screaming in the crowd.

MrCiscojae

Wouldn't it be great if you hear this poem without idiots screaming. Let a brother work!

@TheLivirus That's very scientific of you...but that doesn't change the fact that it's a great lyric. I still feel the same way about it as I did. When you get technical like that, you lose the meaning he is trying to get across. Whether or not a lyric is scientifically relevant or not, does not matter. I encourage you to stop over analyzing everything.

TheLivirus

@LucidDream Not wanna break it to ya, but the frequency does not fade with distance, the amplitude does. The frequency fades with their velocity relative to the source, an effect casually called "doppler effect". Also it's the reciever (source) that feel a reduced amplitude with distance, the cordless microphone's emission is still the same.
