It is probably not so much a matter of money to him, as it is freedom. Record Labels don't just financially rape artist's profits from album sales, they try to control their creativity. They are constantly pressuring bands to change their music to fit mainstream trends. With this method of distribution, he keeps all the revenue and has absolute control over his music.

I could be wrong, but I think the opening paragraph is incorrect. It's a Saul Williams album produced by Trent Reznor, not the other way around.
You're right Matthew. Thanks for the tip. Corrected.

You mat want to read through the full blog post linked a few more times.
The blog post is quoting Williams, not Reznor, so it's incorrect to term it "Reznoreze" or to consult your "Reznor-to-English dictionary".

Agreed with Nathan - Williams is the speaker in the article which makes the epithets a little less shocking. However, the Reznor-to-English dictionary will probably suffice for a loose translation, since both artists converse on the same convuluded, esoteric plane.
As a side note - I support Williams for invoking David Bowie in the album title...is Saul planning to don the same transexual alien garb?
