If you were like me last week, I was watching a ton of basketball, and got to see a ton of Nike commercials. One of the commercials had this really intersting song as the soundtrack. My initial guess was a new Gnarls Barkley or TV on the Radio song. Whenever I hear a song in a commerical that I don't know I end up at adtunes.com. In most cases someone has already posted the answer to the forum, and a simple search is all that is required to find the answer. Well, I was wrong with my guesses. The song is actually by a guy named Saul Williams. He is a poet from NYC. From what I have read it seems that Trent Reznor of NIN is responsible for the awesome beats.

He's great live, too. I stopped and heard him hit one song while on my way to another showcase at SXSW.
Check out this video of his (IMHO) best song, Black Stacey:

That is another great song. Lineups floating around the internet for this years Lollapaloozo have Saul listed, so hoefully we can check him out live.
wow Kansas is in the middle of tearing the Tarheels limb from limb, and that commercial came on. By the end of it all I could see was me racing my bike in boxing gloves. This dude is all the way live.
Saul Williams is no joke. He's the dude that will get up and make you see spots when he speaks. He was on a Nike commercial?
