Leadership and Success / A plethera of new visuals from the camp

My perspective has changed over the past few months of what success really means. I always associated success with being an expert in a certain field. Sometimes I associated it with having a lot of money and sometimes I associated it with living the way you want to live. My perspective is now that success is measured by how many people have been better off because you were alive. Organized Threat founder Von Poe VII, at a young age has already made a lot of lives better. Von Poe VII has given a lot of people the platform of Organized Threat to expand and grow their careers. On top of that, he has shot countless popular music videos for OTHER artists inside the camp and to my knowledge those come free of charge. Even him giving me the opportunity to be a personal blogger for Organized Threat has made my life better. If you are a current or former OGT member can you say that your life has been better because of  Poe? The following tweets from Von Poe VII are what inspired those thoughts..






This is FiascoTheGod and here is your latest OGT Weekly!

Von Poe VII


Von Poe VII appropriately takes part in session 7 of the BARS series from Organized Threat. Mr. 7 heads into a dimly lit setting with dirty white walls to showcase his lyrical skills. His verse actually comes from "Interlude: If iii" which can be found on Papa J. Ruiz's album HR-1955. Thanks to the meaning behind the BARS session, which is to showcase the lyrical talent of OGT, we are given an alternative way of experiencing of that Poe verse and in return can appreciate it more. I didn't know he was performing inside of a bathroom until some intruders walked in to wash their hands. Poe deciding to shoot it there shows his (or whom ever decided it was a good idea) ability to visualize.

As mentioned in the introduction Poe has been serving his people a lot. Whether he realizes it or not here, he has done it again with the BARS session. Instead of choosing a verse from one of HIS albums or creativing a new verse that again would focus on HIM, the verse he chose serves as another way to lead people to Papa J. Ruiz's album HR-1955. Now when someone asks Poe or an OGT fan "Where is that verse from?", we can now lead that person to Papa J.'s album.

Von Poe VII will be releasing a visual tomorrow. Although he's been on social media talking about his visual for "Titan" we shouldn't expect that to be the visual we see.According to a recent tweet from Poe we will be seeing a visual for "Dante's Inferno / Loyalty" before "Titan".



Papa J. Ruiz

From his HR 1955 album, Papa J. Ruiz has released his visual for "Rap Records" produced by Ruman and "LA Resident" produced by Joogy Music. The director is none other than Chad A. Marshall. It begins with a quote to think about by Eminem and leads to Papa J. Ruiz performing "Rap Records" with confident posture. We also witness SHORTSTOP give his contribution with his performance of "LA Resident".

The way the visual is broken up is definitely different then the way videos are usually done when there are two tracks in one visual. With my first time around I'm not sure how I feel about the setup. I believe if Organized Threat continues to play around with that approach it can only get better.

While indulging himself at the waterpark, Papa J. Ruiz had a supporter approach him. Click here to read the short version of the story via a tweet from Papa J. Ruiz.

According to a recent tweet, Papa J. Ruiz will be commencing music for 2016 "real soon" and promises to deliver nothing but classics.

Organized Threat

Vida Killz has new music waiting to be released, she just needs some time to take care of other things. In the meantime you can read her most recent blog entitled "Living With Her" and learn more about "Self-Care Crisis" cards she created. Both are related to PTSD. Through her personal experiences and research she has developed a system to help you obtain a fully optimum day, daily. If you ever encounter a moment throughout your day when you just can't shake a feeling that may be preventing you from being happy, Vida Killz' "Self-Care Crisis" cards will aid you. This is indeed an action of a successful person.

Yarah Bravo performed on the Music Apartment one June 3rd and under their Youtube channel they have released four Yarah Bravo performances. The Music Apartment is based out in Switzerland and they are a showcase series that puts focus on an artist in an intimate setting. I have placed "I Found Love" below. You can view "Be Your Own", "Spare Change", and "Carousel" by clicking each of the track titles. Even if you have heard these tracks before I recommend watching all of the visuals due to the great job done by Music Apartment and the fun you will have watching Yarah Bravo perform.



"life's a bitch." and "myst" with Vague003 are two of the newest releases from OGT producer Rellim. Both are free to download. They each differ in sound so depending on what mood you're in you'll probably prefer one over the other. Right now I'm liking "myst" a lot. With a comment below let us know which one you like.





Vic Virtuoso links up with Ben Franco (Non-OGT Member) for their visual "DRUGS". It definitely feels different to see a current OGT member in a visual not shot by Chad A. Marshall but, Vic Virtuoso holds it down and is without a doubt the star of the track. From all the content released as an Organized Threat member so far, his verses on "DRUGS" is not the typical.




There You Have It

There is your latest OGT Weekly and now it's time for me to jump off a cliff and before I hit the ground, metamorph into a cat and stop in my tracks because look, there's cotton candy.

Don't forget to share on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and spread the word!

a storm is coming

Hello everyone, this is Fiasco and
my fingers are currently touching my keyboard so
I can provide you with the latest news in
the Organized Threat camp.
There is a lot of news in this edition of the OGT Weekly and
that's really good because that means...a storm is coming...

Papa J. Ruiz + Von Poe VII

Papa J. Ruiz and Von Poe VII have been delivering tons of conent this year and
it doesn't look like they plan to slow down. A recent video published on
the Organized Threat Facebook page prepares you for what is to
come. That's if we can prepare at all. Although both of these artists have
collaborated previously it seems that we may be getting a joint project from the two.
The duo of Von Poe VII and Vida Killz have been my favorite thus far to
come out of Organized Threat and the duo of
Von Poe VII and Papa J. Ruiz have potential to take that spot.

May 14th will be the day that Papa J. Ruiz
Performs with Casey Veggies in
Colorado. to witness this
Click here to purchase tickets

If we can get Papa J. Ruiz's
"Live Free" visual to 30k views
He may release something new

Before continuing your read
Of this OGT Weekly, read
Papa J. Ruiz's moving message
to his supporters.


In about a month Von Poe VII will
Need some help. he sent out a request on
Instagram asking for assistance from people
In the Inland Empire. preferably between the ages of
18 and 21. if you have no interest in being a rapper
Then contact him through IG or Twitter.


How Did Rellim Get Started In OGT?

After committing the act of a
Simple Youtube search in
2011, Rellim came across OGT.
After watching an interview in 2013 with
Devour (former OGT member), Rellim
Chose to start sending beats to him.
Eventually they collaborated on "Ounce".
Von Poe VII ended up directing that visual
So he heard Rellim's production. After clearing up
The question of if Rellim was strictly Devour's producer,
Rellim subsequently commenced sending beats to
Poe. One of the beats was the second part to "FREDO".
This took place around the time Phora and Eskupe
Were no longer part of OGT and so Poe decided
To replace them with Rellim. Good choice Poe.

After hearing about Organized Threat
Rellim was somewhat interested in
Being a part of the Threat. Due to
The quality of the videos and music
Composed, Rellim thought they were a
Label. Thats not was he was looking for.
After realizing they were all
Independent, Rellim became more
Attracted to the team. Through hardwork
And good timing, Rellim became part of
Organized Threat and is now a proud
Current member.

Lyrical Overdose

The following two artists have released
Content that showcases their talents
As a writer/poet/mc. Koolz One has
Officially released his first EP since
Being a part of Organized Threat.
The Writers Block EP contains eleven
Tracks that prove why Koolz One is part of
The Threat in the first place. Koolz One
Seems to have found a lyrical buddy
In Xican Brown as he featured on
Four of the tracks.

Vida Killz is featured in the latest
BARS session. She empties her
Poetry "Lady Death pt.V".
Director Chad A. Marshall was
Present to capture this occurence.
The BARS session created by Organized
Threat is meant to focus on the "lyrical
Content" of their MCs. From the first
One released, I knew Vida Killz would
Be a perfect fit. I just had to wait for it to
Be released.
If you've been suffering from lack
Of lyrical passion and creativity,
Vida Killz and Koolz One have
Provided you a cure. no medical
Insurance required.

Organized Threat

The following announcement
Is news first released through
This edition of the OGT Weekly.

Our JG subsequently completed
Research on the internet to
See how many other JG's there
Are. After coming across too many
JG's and their lack of talent, our JG

Do something different and
So I did. You're welcome.

The Purity of Love and War/Carousel/Exclusive News from JG

#OGTWeekly Exclusive News: JG and Razor are in the "early stages" of a joint album. On top of JG working with Razor, Chateau Des Dieux (JG+Vida Killz) have also begun to work on their next album. You can listen to the first Chateau Des Dieux album by clicking here.

This is Fiasco and I am really excited to supply you with a new OGT Weekly. Can't you tell by my face?

Papa J. Ruiz
A very happy birthday to Papa J. Ruiz! Make sure you head to PapaJRuiz.com to grab his music and merch!



Get ready for Papa J. Ruiz's HR-1955 album with the official album teaser. It is set for a March 25, 2015 release.






Vida Killz

Vida Killz has officially released her short story collection Thoughts While Dreaming: Collection 1. I'm looking forward to picking this up to explore more of Vida Killz' literature via her short stories.

If you were unaware, Vida Killz has commenced selling hardcopies of Negative Space again which are available by clicking here.

Three New OGT Albums

The Purity of Love and War by Von Poe VII

Von Poe VII doesn't waste anytime relaying powerful words in The Purity of Love and War. "Basquiat" commences the album and Von Poe VII makes tremendous use of words in this track. It's eye-opening jaw-dropping poetry. The ending skit on "Basquiat" featuring Jay Z gives you an idea of what the album is about.

It is also important to note that Poe has included 5 tracks that can also be found on his previous albums VONPOEVII and ONLY GODZ RELATE. I really like that idea because if new listeners like those tracks (for example, "Cowboy Bebop") they will go back to those albums. Basically it's a great way to still promote those albums while at the same time focusing on the new one.

Although it is hinted in "Basquiat" that the album is about love and war on the road to success I also feel that it is the love and war that Poe has experienced since being in the Hip-hop scene. He has made a lot of relationships within and outside Organized Threat and I believe that the The Buttress and Papa J. Ruiz solo's represent the "love" experience. As far as the "war" experience, Poe isn't shy in relaying his tenet of the current state of the rap game and his experiences with former Organized Threat members and those who tried to beef with the threat.

As far as putting focus on single tracks I appreciate the contrast between the tone of production and tone of Poe's voice in "Dante's inferno". The insertion of previous tracks such as "Phlegmatic" also remind me of my favorite lines from Poe such as the following "And my word is bond but, they don't understand it / so now I'm posted up in the garden with 2 leprechauns and a bandit". To this day I still don't understand what the garden, leprechauns, and bandit are supposed to represent and it doesn't bother me. It just fascinates me to keep thinking about what it could mean and those words strung together make prevent the track from being scant in poetry.

Words that are evoked when listening to The Purity of Love and War; poetry, frustration, genuine, yearning for something more (maybe recognition).

Samples Of Fire by Joogy Jugg

This 15 track beat tape from the Organized Threat producer Joogy Jugg features an array of sounds. All rappers are welcome to utilize these beats to their advantage. All we ask is that you give the proper credit to Joogy Jugg. Organized Threat is not only a movement but a family. That comes into play when Joogy allows Rellim to get a slot on his tape with "Jazz Work". Tracks like "Blue Flame, "THinkHiR", "Du Wop", "Sunlight", and "Cruising U.S.A." are some of my favorite tracks and justify Joogy Jugg's usage of the title Samples Of Fire

Before You Enter; The Ghost Room by Xican Brown

Xican Brown is one of the newest additions to the Organized Threat roster. Although we have seen his visual "God's Gravedigga" we still didn't know too much about him. His new album Before You Enter; The Ghost Room gives us more insight on his creative mind and who he is as an artist. Tracks like "Holy Water" and "Change for 20 Cents" are tracks you really do not want to miss. Live From The Ghost Room will be Xican Brown's next album.


New OGT Audio

JG releases the last single off his upcoming Stay Still album with "Strict" featuring Vida Killz


Jasson C goes on a lyrically onslaught in his new sound "OG Diablo".





New OGT Visual

Yarah Bravo bilingually expresses herself in her new visual "Carousel".


Von Poe VII starts the release of visuals for The Purity of Love and War with "Basquiat". This is also his first visual of 2015.

Words From Fiasco

There is your new OGT Weekly! To make sure you have everything down pact, check it over a second time. If you don't know how to introduce somebody to Organized Threat, this OGT Weekly will get the job done. I'm not going to hope you enjoyed this OGT Weekly because I know you did. I composed it.

OGT Weekly 10/15/2014 created by FiascoTheGod

#BREAKINGNEWS: Starting Januay 2015 Organized Threat will begin the process of their group album. The album is also scheduled for a late 2015/early 2016 release. To prove that I am not lying, I have strategically placed the official tweet below.





Click here to read the entire Facebook status.

#QUICKTHOUGHT: As a fan/listener/follower for Organized Threat looking in from the outside, one thing does concern me about the process of this album. That one thing is the loyalty of members. I'm not questioning the loyalty of anybody right now in the group but, we've seen a fair share of members leave the camp this year. Anything can really happen in a year with any one current member. Goals change. Mindsets change. It happens. Imagine what would happen if the members from the begging of this year all decided to work on the album this year? It would be ruined. But, I am assuming Von Poe VII used his good judgement and does not question the loyalty of the current members of Organized Threat. With that being said, this will be the very first Organized Threat album. The album will mean so much more if everyone who is on the first one is on the last.

Song Of The Blog: Play JMega The God's  "Veterans Day" while reading up on the latest Organized Threat news.

Welcome to my dungeon. This what you waited on. This what you waited on. This is FiascoTheGod and I am currently alive to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.



I can feel it my soul



When Poe laces up and puts on his grill you know the visual is about to be fire. Even though this is Poe's visual he was able to balance the attention and put the appropriate amount of focus on the dancer Reginald Anthony Webber Jr. The scenes of Webber dancing with the pillars surrounding him, may be the best scenes Chad A. Marshall (Von Poe VII) has ever shot. "Cowboy Bebop" is produced by Ruman and can be located on Von Poe VII's album ONLY GODZ RELATE.


Did You Know This About The Threat? 

As I continue to not only be a blogger for Organized Threat but, as a fan as well, I always want to learn more about them. I was able to get in contact with Von Poe VII and have him send me five facts about Organized Threat. Here are 2 of those 5 facts below. The 5th fact was a question I came up with on my own because it's something I've been wondering about. So I crushed my wonder and asked the question. I also urge you to go read the rest of the facts because I also included a lot of dope music by Organized Threat, too.

2. Organized Threat was started in 2006 by Chad A. Marshall and a Spanish teacher from his Highschool, Chad A. Marshall is the only original member still in the camp (if you don’t include the reboot of the group that happened in 2012).

Fact #5 is one that I was personally interested in so I had to make sure I obtained the story behind this fact. A sample of a gentleman saying “Organized Threat is the future” can be found on a couple of OGT tracks. This is how it happened.

5. Von Poe VII said, “the bum sample came from a trip to Vegas while filming “Black Pyramid”. He wanted a cig and I told him only if he said OGT on camera. I felt it was cheesy for an MC in the camp to say it. Kinda bias you know? But a bum on the street? Golden”.

Click here to gaze upon the entire blog.

Reality Check



Razor accurately translated the ruthless feeling in the track to the visual with his manifestation of his actions in this visual directed by Chad A. Marshall. This track and more can be found on Razor's album F.A.I.T.H. Although this album is dope, according to Poe, we can expect even better on Razor's next project.




More Music From The Threat

EmptySev dropped a new track entitled "Gas Chamberz". Faces must have really went into a grimey no holds barred mind state to produce this beat. It is currently getting daily rotation in my playlist and it ranks right next to my other favorite track by him "Bloody Sabre".



Jasson C blesses us with his first single "Dolphins (Tom Hanks)" off his upcoming album. We witness a focused (as always) Jasson C on this track who's looking to get awards like Tom Hanks. If you ain't doing it big don't do it at all!




Vida Killz Destructs and Rebuilds in order to take charge and lead in her latest EP Destruction: Rebirth of Self. This is a collaboration effort with producer GRIEF78 and this is their last installment to their trilogy.

Organized Threat has also this Organized Threat Mix series. There have been two volumes released so far. The first one was composed by Rellim and the second by Ruman. Both feature several quality tracks from a few artists from the camp. I really think this is a good way to get someone into Organized Threat. If you know someone who hasn't heard of Organized Threat yet, send them these two mixes. And if you're really friendly, show a random person at your local grocery store.

OGT Mix Vol. 1 by Rellim



OGT Mix Vol. 2 by Ruman





JG has released a real piece of art in "The Prologue EP". This is his first installment in his Stay Still series. JG says,“The concept for the upcoming Stay Still is that the world has essentially ended. And the tracks take you through the types of people and feelings that someone in a post apocalyptic world would see/feel. But it’s so far removed from the actual event that the event itself lies in some folklore grey area”. What really impresses me about this project is JG's voice and delivery. I don't know how to explain it in a rational matter. His delivery is just smooth and uncracked. Almost like there are no faults. JG really raps his ass off in this project and I honestly think he has potential star power. Click here to listen.

If JG has one role (either MC or producer) I would really like to hear him spit a verse and see how he matches up with the other elite MCs of Organized Threat.

Limited Edition Posters!

Papa J. Ruiz has released limited edition HR 1955 posters up for sale on his bandcamp. There are only 4 left so if it's something you are unsure of getting I say go for it! You don't want to have any regrets later on. In order to prevent your potential regret, click here to purchase the limited edition posters.




#SECONDBREAKINGNEWS: Organized Threat officially welcomes new member Koolz One.



Koolz One spits about the Hip-hop he grew up on and that's what makes this the perfect introduction. With a new artist in the camp brings new opportunities for in house collabs and I am looking forward to that.

FiascoTheGod closes his blog with a few words. He won't see you again for a whole month!

Before I conclude this OGT Weekly, I want to give a quick belated birthday shout out to DJ Starchild!

Befive you carry on with your activities as a human being take a second look at the blog and share it with someone! If you're not a human being and you're able to read this, you're cool as fuck. We should chill sometime. Hit me up.

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Reunited and it feels so good minions! Welcome once again to this wonderful moment we have together. I'm sure you all know by now, I fucking love to talk about how much it matters to stand up and take action for what we believe in, whatever that may be. I also love to fucking talk about how important it is to mobilize and organize our voices in unison. I mean come on fuckers, lets face it; we all human; we all have the same internal organs; we all need water to drink and food to eat; we all need places to defecate. We may all be rolling along in different directions and at different speeds, but its our hearts and minds that lead us, and God knows we have that in common. Some though, they don't believe, they've lost hope and gone astray. They have been poisoned by doubt and retreat to solitude in resentment looking deep within themselves to find a pot of gold that was never placed. The goose couldn't lay the golden egg alone and loneliness isn't worth one's weight in gold. But with the pressure of all our voices united as one we can create diamonds; we can motivate and cultivate change. BECAUSE LETS FACE IT PEOPLE! Everyday we don't take a stand for what we believe in, we are letting corporate America rape us and we are tacitly consenting to support what they stand for. When you fill up your car with gas you're supporting big oil companies like Chevron who pollute the amazon by dumping their leftover waste water into its pristine rivers. When you go to Walmart and buy yourself some fucking toothpaste you're supporting the import of tuna caught illegally through bottom trolling fishing methods that unnecessarily kills tens of thousands of sea turtles every year. The list goes on and on but the truth is blatant; If you don't stand up for something you believe in, you'll be standing for a bunch of unnecessary bullshit you didn't even really know you were standing for. And the only way to change this crazy thing called life is by standing together, being loud and being proud. Organized Threat stands loud and proud, and overall for the greater good and love of mankind. There's a certain kinda power that comes with numbers, we all know this. So don't be ignorant, perhaps stand with us, or at least stand for something. Or else you'll stand for nothing but bullshit.

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Hello freaks and geeks and welcome once again to this week's Wednesday update of all things #ORGANIZEDTHREAT. As I type these words, Sir VONPOEVII is on his way to lovely Colorado to meet with the one and only PAPA J RUIZ ! The connections they are able to form with others individually and as artists is part of what makes their motion strong like the ocean; they work in unison like currents pushing each other along. Its quite amazing what one can accomplish just by bonding and sharing one's life with like minded individuals. Creating a network of minds, of people whom you're proud to stand beside and lean on, is one of the most valuable assets available to spry young folk like us. We may be considered 'Entry level' or whatever the fuck they call it, and our voices may stand small against the Koch Brothers and the rest of the billionaire dictator super-powers of the world, but that doesn't matter. Because no matter what we have control over our opinion, and because of that we are responsible to let our voices ring out loud. Whats even louder than one proud voice? A million proud voices speaking together! So the most pragmatic way to postulate any kind of message that has any chance of motivating change is to mobilize with others speaking the same thing. Our society teaches us to be selfish, to harbor greed and envy that eventually turns into hatred, to disconnect ourselves from strangers, to misunderstand what doesn't fit in the mold. But fellow nymphs and nymphettes, I urge you to see what a veil of ignorance they are cultivating behind our backs! They have built a shitty bridge, and crossing over it alone becomes riskier as the years roll on. And that is why networking with like minded individuals in supremely important, because the more voices in unison the louder the message. The relationship between VONPOEVII and PAPA J RUIZ is a perfect paradigm to my little rant because those two understand the power in numbers. More should strive to understand these concepts. Enjoy the quotes below :)

It's a Sonny day

#BREAKINGNEWS: EmptySev will release a video for "Sonny". Sev tweets "Just wrapped up this #SONNY shoot. Should be up by tomorrow. S/o to @VonPoeVII as always & @DeLaaaSoul for letting me swing a sword at her". That was tweeted yesterday so that means it should be up today! Be on the lookout for it.

"We just tryna see heaven without being gone" - EmptySev. Song: Sonny. Album: SEVENEMPTY.

Is it possible to experience heaven while alive on Earth? Maybe we are experiencing heaven right now. Maybe we are experiencing hell right now. Either way, how would we know that this is how heaven is supposed to feel or how hell is supposed to feel? It is also likely that heaven and hell don't even exist. Seeing heaven is one of EmptySev's goals (literally or metaphorically) and it may be a goal he will never achieve and even if he does will he be able to notice it?

---

I didn't mention in my previous two OGT Weekly's but, I will mention it now. I have applied psychological criticism to another Von Poe VII track "THE VILLAIN". Here is an excerpt from the criticism:

"Von Poe’s psyche goes from rational to violent in a matter of two lines. Lines 37 to 38 read “And barking back at dogs / Before I’m ripping out their internal organs”. When he writes that he is “barking back at dogs” that is his ego working. Verbally assaulting a foe is much more rational that physically attacking them. The ego is able to prolong this physical attack even though Poe expresses his desire to do so only one line later. The ego can no longer hold back the id in these two lines".

You can read it from beginning to end by clicking here.

---

This is FiascoTheGod and I shall supply you with the rest of the Organized Threat news.

Devour has created a Youtube channel that he will utilize to upload shows, meet and greets, short films, and more. Here is his first official upload which features his 2nd stop on the #DevourUpTour2k14 as he performs and meets his fans. He also just recently released a visual for "Ain't a Fool" so be sure to check that out, too.

We all have daydreams and well have nightmares. Some occur more than others. We will have to wait a bit longer to learn about the daydreams and nightmares of Vida Killz. In a Facebook status she uploads a trailer that officially announces that Daydreams And Nightmares will be released in Fall of 2014. Click here to watch the video.

This past Friday some of the OGT members were able to kick it at DJ Starchild's place! EmptySev and Von Poe VII were there so I am assuming we can expect some guest appearances in EmptySev's "Sonny" visual, from those in the IG picture posted by Poe. Click here to view the post. Von Poe VII directs the majority of the OGT videos and they both announced that EmptySev will be dropping a video today so I would like to think that I am justified in believing that we can see those featured in the pic in the video as well.

There you have it! That is the latest Organized Threat news! Before you continue with your day, read over the blog one more time to fully absorb what to expect in the coming hours and months. EmptySev should be dropping a new visual tonight so make sure to spread it when it drops! Papa J. Ruiz has a message to anyone currently supporting the Threat. "Anyone who jumps ship cause we not blowing up fast enough in they eyes can eat a Dick". You can now consider me, FiascoTheGod your savior.

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Welcome once again to the Weekly Wednesday Update of all things #ORGANIZEDTHREAT ! This past weekend I had the privilege of assisting VONPOEVII with the production of his latest visual component. Its always an interesting experience filming with sir POE and 'Ready to Die' was of no exception. I'm a sucker for the smell of books - small books, large books, old books - you name it! So the garage library-laundry room combo was right up my alley, so to speak. Even more exciting, we had an audience of ghostly peacock birds cheering us on while filming the outdoor scenes. Ghostly because they only spoke and refused to come out and play. Ghostly because they kept reminding us they were there in an invisible way. Though it was a refreshing sound that traveled with the wind up the sides of the canyon echoing as it rolled along. I'm not sure how many of you would agree, but the best word for this shoot seems to be 'lovely'. Lovely for me because of the memories i made while shooting it, and lovely for you because WHO DOESN'T like to see VONPOEVII shirtless? Filmed entirely in the #SFV ! If you haven't gotten a chance yet, check out the poetry that is 'Ready To Die' posted below. Follow the little birdy for VONPOEVII updates n dirty jokes.

Unexpected news, A Von Poe VII visual, New THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. beat, and more!

#BREAKINGNEWS: Vida Killz confirms that there will be another DEATHKILLZ album! DEATHKILLZ is a collaborative effort between Von Poe VII and Vida Killz. If you would be so kind to me and appreciate the hard work I put in to insert the following link, click here to view the official tweet.

This is FiascoTheGod and I will continue to present to you the latest Organized Threat news.

Von Poe VII makes a statement as the leader of Organized Threat in his new visual "Ready To Die" and it is produced by OGT producer Faces. In this visual Poe performs his blunt track which is his expression of "frustration that comes with being a leader in a group of starving artists, and how difficult it can be trying to keep everyone's mind focused on on the overall goal and not just themselves" (Quoted from his YouTube description). The selfishness has to cease to exist. There is a contrast though in both the lyrics and visual. Even though Von Poe VII states that the track is focused on his frustrations as a leader, there is a brief mention by the poet that shows in the end he still has hope. Poe says "I'm tryna put my niggas on my nigga / I'm tryna turn us into millionaires / And I'm just ridin' to the beat my nigga / Cause all this talent really ain't fair / I'm flexin'". Not only are those words a sign that Poe knows it will work out in the end but, he is still smiling and enjoying himself in the video! The easy listening and calm beat produced by Faces may have influenced those lines as well! There's no way he could be completely fed up!

College graduate THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. has birthed and released a new beat entitled "Casanova". The first thought that surfaced in my head was the game Castlevania which I actually have never played. Of course that thought has to do with the title and not what sound is behind the title. THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. keeps on supplying the feel good tunes! Positive vibes! Will a dark side ever surface? This is where you press play...
Oh and by the way...you haven't responded to my text. :/

Devour looks to close out June in notable fashion. First, Devour plans on releasing a new visual along with director Chad A. Marshall (Von Poe VII) on Wednesday. It is unknown of which track it actually is but, you can view the official tweet by clicking here. For proof that is is directed by Chad A. Marshall please allow your index or middle finger to click here. Devour is also having a Meet & Greet and Pop - Up Shop on June 28 in Tempe, Arizona. Click here for full details.

From Cali To Yonkers

What's up Organized Threat fans, members, and newcomers? This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.

"And if I die I smoke a blunt with God until I get to heaven and play the trumpet" - Papa J. Ruiz "Scary Movie - Emergency 55" 55

One of the many dope lines in Papa J. Ruiz's new mixtape 55. Make sure to check it out to discover your favorite lines and song! If you're currently in a struggle in your life and looking for an emcee to relate to and help you get through these tough times, listen to the mixtape!

This past Wednesday and Thursday I was able to meet with Von Poe VII, Papa J. Ruiz, Joogy Jugg, and Aster. I have to say I was expecting Poe and Papa J. Ruiz to be a bit taller!! I was able to hear a couple of OGT stories as well as hear a couple of unreleased tracks. I also saw Poe go to work as a director and that was very entertaining to witness. There have been a couple of times while watching OGT music videos when I wondered who was behind the camera when Poe was in front of it. It turns out Aster is one (if not the only) person behind that camera! Those two days were very memorable and I am looking forward to the next time we meet.

From Cali To Yonkers

Von Poe VII did not waste anytime putting out this visual! Just a few days after shooting the video Poe gives you "Bishop's Revenge". Von Poe VII performs the track in a NYC setting with appearances by Joogy Jugg, Papa J. Ruiz and the producer Saeed Sha. If someone were to ask me to describe NYC I would probably tell them bright lights, tall buildings, good food, and diverse people. The first two apply more to the setting of NYC but, Von Poe VII does not opt for such a setting. There is of course the side of NYC that is rugged and dark. The scenes chosen by Poe are a perfect fit for who he is as a poet.

New JMega Dropping

Von Poe VII has just tweeted that there will be something new dropping from JMega The God. Poe tweets "New @JMegaTheGod dropping at midnight".

Razor has also tweeted that he is dropping something new with JMega The God. It is unknown if Poe's and Razor's tweets are related. Razor tweeted "Dropping some new shit tonight, featuring my nigga @JMegaTheGod (Produced by: @RUMANSAYS). It's been long over due! #OrganizedThreat".

Razor informs us that he is currently shooting a music video for his track "Pearly Gates". View the IG post by clicking here.

"Anyone can take a life but can you carry the memory?" - Von Poe VII "Dear Summer" ONLY GODZ RELATE

Most people are physically capable of carrying out the action of ending someones life. Applying this to the street life where murdering someone is praised upon and shown as a sign of masculinity, how the killer handles it mentally after proves if they are human. It takes a lot more to keep the memory of ending somebody's life then to pull a trigger.

Until Next Monday

There is your latest Organized Threat news! Make sure you take a second look at the blog and share it with a friend or two. Most importantly spread the word on Von Poe VII's new visual for "Bishop's Revenge"! Once you have completed all three of those tasks you can consider me, FiascoTheGod your savior.

Papa J. Ruiz Takes Over And More About Organized Threat

I am FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with a lot of news in today's OGT Weekly.

Papa J. Ruiz Takeover 

Without a doubt the buzz was around Papa J. Ruiz this weekend and he delivered in A+ fashion. Not only did he own this weekend but he birthed two things that will allow this weekend buzz to follow him for the rest of the year and beyond. First we are presented with a new mixtape by the Colorado MC and he calls it 55. It contains 5 tracks of Papa J. Ruiz spitting over production by Justice League, J. Cole, DJ Premier, The Hitmen, and Riddle. Before you head over to check out the EP, click here to view the trailer to prepare you for what you are about to experience. Just as the trailer does, you will hear inspirational and wise quotes from other hip hop figures and during your listening journey you will hear Papa J. Ruiz create his own. You can also show your support by purchasing an "iii" beanie which comes with an immediate download of 55. As of right now there is only one left so click here to pick up the last one!

"Kick me when I'm down / Tupac, homie still I rise" - Papa J. Ruiz, Song: Regardless Of The Outcome

So far "Regardless Of The Outcome" is my favorite track off the EP. This is due to Papa J. Ruiz's signature raw delivery and what he is spitting about in the song. It's the pure reality of "the struggle". It's real, it's alive, and he is able to deliver a quality song about it.

Papa J. Ruiz continues with good news with his announcement of his next upcoming album. It will be released late this year or early next year and it is entitled HR-1955. You can click here to view the official tweet.

Latest With Von Poe VII

Von Poe VII has openly discussed with The Buttress on Twitter about their collaboration. This discussion begins with The Buttress tweeting Von Poe VII that she has sent him her verse. That tweet can be viewed here and that also leads to the rest of their conversation that shows Von Poe VII's reaction to what he has received.

Please continue to support Von Poe VII's IndieGoGo campaign by contributing to the funds for the production of hard copies of ONLY GODZ RELATE. There are tantalizing perks such as reserving an actual hard copy to receiving multiple merchandise and even a shout out on the album.

Rics Rumble's T-Shirt Collaboration

You can now read a quote from one of your favorite Organized Threat MCs on a T-Shirt! Rics Rumble teamed up with dvious in order to blend together and manifest a T-Shirt. The quote by Rics Rumble reads "Weird's the new normal. If you're normal, you're weird". Click here to purchase the T-Shirt.

Paradox. Read The Latest Organized Threat News Composed By FiascoTheGod. Paradox.

This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.

"They say I drink too much but they don't think enough so who's further?" - EmptySev. Song: "Believe You Me". Album: "SEVEN EMPTY"

Celebrate Life & Death In "Paradox"

As promised, Von Poe VII has dropped a visual for "Paradox" which is beautifully produced by Rellim. Although "Paradox" can elicit the feelings of laid back, calm, and chill, through it's SOUND, the lyrics if listened to carefully over and over again you can sense at times a heartless and frustrated Von Poe VII. That in itself is indeed a paradox. Sound vs context of lyrics. The part of the hook when Von Poe VII spits "Searching for the fame got me lost inside the game" can also be seen as a paradox. Looking at the rap game today, some rappers who lack heart and creativity seem to be the ones being famous. Why is it difficult for Von Poe VII to reach fame when he is one of the MC's/poets who have heart and creativity? (Not implying that's all that it takes to become famous). The rap game is a paradox. Von Poe VII does not seem to stress this as he turns to celebrate life and death in his visual. Yes, there is another paradox. The poetic lyrics by Von Poe VII including the way they are delivered and the poetic sound birthed by Rellim, receive a very poetic visual. "Paradox" can be located on the "Von Poe VII" album.

Expect a video dropping on May 31st. Von Poe VII informs us of this in a very poetic tweet.

JG Writes And Produces His New Track "The Sacrifice"

JG just dropped some serious heat! Check out his latest sound entitled "The Sacrifice". He justifies his egotistical approach with an impressive rhyme scheme and confident delivery. This is from his forthcoming project entitled "Stay Still".

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. Provides A Piece Of Tranquility

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. has a new release entitled "Tranquil Sunday". He is very straight forward in this track as what you read in the the title is what you absorb through your listening session. This is probably the perfect song to listen to on a Sunday, the day after a hangover. :) And listening to this during church could probably be the worst decision of your life. Unless you're an atheist. Well, then why are you in church anyway?

Devour Show Coming Up

On May 23rd Devour will be performing in North Hollywood, California. Organized Threat members DJ Starchild and Razor will also be a part of the show. Click here to view the flyer for more details.

Documentary, Music, News, & More In Today's OGT Weekly

This is FiascoTheGod and I am alive to provide you with the latest Organized Threat news.

In last Monday's OGT Weekly I showed you guys a part of my paper that I wrote for a Literary Criticism class. It was on Poetic Death's track entitled Regret. I have received my paper back and I earned a B+. Here is another part of the paper.

--
“The baby becomes aware of its body only in bits and pieces [...] When the awareness of being separate comes, as it must if the individual is to move from nature to culture, the sense of unity with others and other objects is lost and, along with it, the sense of security that it provided. With the baby desiring a return to that earlier period of oneness  with the mother, its needs at this point turn into demands, specifically demands for  attention and love from another that will erase the separation that the baby knows; but such a reunion is not possible. One can never return” (Dobie 65-66).

Would you claim that the sense of yearning to hug your mother is an example of wanting to be back in that period of “oneness”? In the first verse of Regret, Poetic Death writes “And When My Mother Passes / Will I Ever Get To Hug Her” (19,21).  Pondering the thought of wanting to hug his mother is exemplary of what is defined by Dobie and Lacan as the mirror stage. Since Poetic Death knows that he can never return to that state of “oneness”, especially when she is not physically present on Earth, he hopes to do so spiritually in the afterlife. Could it be possible that if an afterlife does exist, that Poetic Death can actually go back to that state of “oneness”? Lacan does not touch on the afterlife so we are left to ponder that thought.
--

The first paragraph describes what the mirror stage is. In her book "Theory Into Practice: An Introduction to Literary Criticism" Ann B. Dobie assists in helping to describe what Lacan meant by the mirror stage. The second paragraph is the application of the mirror stage to Poetic Death's poem/track Regret.

Now we shall proceed to the news.

The Latest On Von Poe VII

Von Poe VII  has re-uploaded a 20 episode documentary on Youtube that he calls "L.I.F.E.". This documentary covers his life from 2011-2012. I have not watched it yet so I cannot yet comment on it. I should be able to watch it by my next OGT Weekly so I will be sure to provide my thoughts. Since I did not know about Organized Threat during those years, I am very pleased to be introduced to the earlier history of Von Poe VII and Organized Threat. It is of great interest of me to know as much about Organized Threat as possible. I am sure it is to you so click here to begin watching the documentary.

Informing us via Instagram, Von Poe VII tells us that he has finished designing the hard copies for "ONLY GODZ RELATE". Once he arrives at the halfway mark for the fundraiser he will begin to get them pressed. To donate to the fundraiser click here. Click here to view the Instagram photo.

Von Poe VII has been working with MC The Buttress and they have been creating a track together. A music video by the first week of June is also possible. To prove that I am no liar, click here for the official Facebook post by Von Poe VII.

See What's New With OGT

I am FiascoTheGod. The clown on top of the tree. The wind in your hair. The raisin in your cookie. And I am here to provide you with the latest Organized Threat news.

Befive we begin, I would like to reply to a question that was proposed by Aster in her last OGT Weekly. The question of if people deserve a second chance. My answer is yes. The reason I say yes is because I know that I would like a second chance at a multitude of things if the opportunity presented itself. Although you could, it's not reasonable to expect people to succeed the first time around. Do you succeed the first time around in everything you do? If not, then why would you expect someone else to? People do deserve a second chance.

Allow me to inform you guys about a paper I have written. Oh, you allowed me? Thank you very much. Today I handed in a paper for my Literary Criticism class. I had to apply two literary theories to a text. The text that I chose was "Regret" by Poetic Death. This paper was probably the most challenging paper I have ever written. Partly due to the fact that this class is difficult and I do not 100% understand the criticisms that I used for the paper. I am sure not all of you are familiar with literary criticisms, but the two I chose were Lacanian and Deconstruction. I am not confident at all with the paper I handed in today, but here is an excerpt of the paper that I think you guys will enjoy:

The mirror stage does not cease at the end of verse one. Lines 38 to 43 showcase the aspect of the mirror stage when the baby knows since it can no longer reunite with the mother, it needs to seek attention and love from others. In this case Poetic Death seeks support “Cause Life Could Be a Trip Without Support From Those Who Need You / I was Told To Overcome / I Had To Build My Own Foundation / That Could Out-stand / Even The Toughest Of Situations” (38-43). His own foundation turned out to be Organized Threat. Organized Threat is a movement of artists that seek unity. The members of Organized Threat show love and support for Poetic Death and in return he accepts it because he cannot go back to the period of “oneness”  with his mother.

Basically in that paragraph I claimed that the reason why Poetic Death created Organized Threat was because he was searching for support and love from others because he was aware that he could never return to the period of "oneness" with his mother. "Oneness" meaning in his mother's belly. That's pretty deep stuff right? If the paper receives a grade that I am satisfied with, I will share the rest of the paper with you all.

I am sure there are new Organized Threat fans reading this so just to let you know, "Regret" is one of Poe's older pieces of work. He has taken down the video but, you can read the lyrics and listen to the track on Rap Genius by clicking here.

SEVEN EMPTY

EmptySev released his album "SEVEN EMPTY" this weekend and it can be streamed and downloaded by clicking here. You can own it for free but, you can also show your support for this piece of art by contributing a few dollars. I've been praising "Bloody Sabre" ever since he leaked it before the album released and now after my first listen today, I am praising the thought provoking track "Believe You Me". Let me know what tracks you are feeling in your first few listens to "SEVEN EMPTY" by leaving a comment below.

Poe Shooting A Video For "Paradox". Rellim Where You At Booooooy?

Von Pon VII tweeted Rellim to let him know that if he is still in L.A. that he could come through to the video shoot for his newest track "Paradox" which is produced by Rellim. Rellim still hasn't replied to his tweet though. Will Rellim ever respond to Poetic Death? Or did he not want to make it public and they communicated privately? Is Rellim permanently in L.A.? Will I ever get to...never mind. So many questions. Only one OGT Weekly.

Poetic Death has informed us via Twitter that he will be dropping videos for both "ONLY GODZ RELATE" and "VON POE VII" every month. You can gaze upon the official tweet by clicking here.

80k Or Nah?

Papa J. Ruiz challenges you guys to help get his video "Bout iiiT" to 80k views on the Youtube. Can we do this or nah?....Yah! We can so click here to view the video and share it with a couple of friends! Or if you just made a new enemy, show them this video so you guys can stop beefing and be friends! Yes to more friends!
