Memento Mori

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Welcome minions, once again to this weekly Wednesday ORGANIZED THREAT update. I'm happy to be with you at this moment, in the many days of our lives, and to be able to relay such coverage on a group that emits such radiance from within a world that constantly attempts to snuff its own flame. There's hardly anything more positive and motivational than watching someone chase and fulfill their dreams, that is until you get in a room full of those someones. For those of you who are wondering how they do it, what F.O.R.M.U.L.A they follow, how they stay afloat in an ocean of diversity; I may have an answer for you. Memento Mori, a message that reminds all of us that one day we will have to die, a message engraved within our times' ticking clock. A reminder that we were given this one and only life and damnit we better make something of it. A reminder that every second counts, and that even if you tried you couldn't waste a minute. Because you humans, actions are your forte', the only difference between the successful and the unsuccessful is a man made state of mind. Though we are encapsulated by our own rigorous personal discovery concerning the matter, its always nice to be able to reference a sound paradigm like that of ORGANIZED THREAT. 

Memento Mori; Make it Count, whatever it may be.

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!

That Concludes Tonight's Episode 

 There is your latest Organized Threat news composed by me, FiascoTheGod. Remember, read the blog at least one more time to absorb all this new information. Pass along the news. Show someone new to Organized Threat and start them off with this blog. Befive you enter into a slumber, consider me your savior.

OGT Weekly 4/28/2014

"My circle getting smaller as my life goes on" - Von Poe VII, City After Hours

 This line spit by Von Poe VII on his latest album ONLY GODZ RELATE had me thinking about my own circle. In contrast, my "circle" has actually grew within the past year. In a way it is a surprising way for me to admit this due to my playlist being filled with Hip hop songs and I am sure everyone of those MCs in my playlist have said that their group of friends diminished over time. This is not to say that because a lot of MCs have said this before, that it takes away the value of the line nor the credibility that Von Poe VII has as a poet. So the fact that I have listened to such words time and time again, I would think that my life would resemble that part of being a MC. Because lets be honest, some fans want to live like their favorite music artist(s) in at least one way. Not that it would make sense for me to consciously push people away in order for me to hold together the faction of me and my two other friends but, perhaps in an unconscious way. Unconsciously me wanting to live one way or another like a Hip hop MC. I'm very pleased to realize that my "circle" has grown over the past year. These people have supplied me with intriguing conversations and countless laughs. I have yet to go through a hardship over the past year but, if I do, I have a good feeling that they will be there. Having a small group of friends does not seem to be for me.

 I am FiascoTheGod and I am alive to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.

 Expect New Video(s) Soon

 Both Devour and Von Poe VII tweeted about upcoming videos. Von Poe VII tweeted "New visuals coming soon man, can't say much outside of that. - VII". Devour tweeted today asking us if we are ready for a new video. It is not known if their tweets are related so we will have to wait and see.

Yarah And Vida Tease You

 Yarah Bravo and Vida Killz are on the verge of releasing new projects. Yarah Bravo's EP entitled Love Is The Movement is scheduled to be released tomorrow and she released a teaser for it which can be viewed by clicking here. Vida Killz is currently working on her LP entitled Daydreams And Nightmares and that is scheduled for a June 2014 release. She has released a snippet for one of those tracks on the album entitled Remember. Click here to listen to the 16 second snippet.

Vida Killz has also released Lady Death Pt. IV which will also be on Daydreams And Nightmares.

It's On Buddy!!!

 THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. has composed and released a new sound that he calls It's On... When I read the title I am confronted with the thoughts of fighting and aggressiveness. THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. throws me off balance when the sound is actually played. Of course I didn't expect for him to come out with an aggressive sound, he seems like a very peaceful guy. But, if you (THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.) ever have that moment when you need to let out some aggression, through music, go for it!!! Depending on your initial thoughts when you read the title, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. does showcase contrast. It's On.. is for sale and you can contact him at fequalsmc@gmail.com.

May 3rd Seven Empty Will Be Released

 Don't forget that EmptySev will be releasing his album Seven Empty on May 3rd. EmptySev pours out a lot of knowledge about the album in my interview with him so check that out by clicking here. Be prepared before the album gets released!

An Organized Conclusion

Now that I have supplied you human beings with the latest Organized Threat news, it is time for me to enter into a slumber. Before you enter yours, make sure to read over the blog at least one more time in order to fully grasp the news and music you have been dealt. Even Santa Claus checks his list twice. Oh, and you can consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

Every Generation Deserves a Villain

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

 I titled this Wednesday #OGT weekly addition 'Every Generation Deserves a Villain' because, if you follow VONPOEVII as closely as i do, you'd understand how often and fervent he expresses the idea behind the phrase. And, you know, it's really got me wondering what the fuck a villain is. My nature as a philo-sophizer entices my desire to better understand the meaning or characteristics that define the word, and the best way to gain a more thorough comprehension of what a villain really is and anything for the matter is through examination of the origin; its fundamental parts. To me it seems that villains are essentially agents of disruption; they are the war to the peace of the story, the chaos within a world of order. Now when i feel naughty i play devil's advocate and I let myself wonder; is it possible for these two opposites to exist one-without-the-other? Would we really know peace if we didn't know war? Would we really know virtue if not fully aware of what it isn't, it's vice? Would we really be able to appreciate eudaimonia if first we did not know human degradation? It seems to me that a villain, or the idea behind one, is not only an essential part of our notion of human happiness but also an integral part of our notion of existence. Besides, at the end of the day, we all need a little disruption or else we'll never find the path paved to El dorado. 
Anyways, the general himself VONPOEVII just updated to let us know that #ONLYGODZRELATE will be available on Itunes, Spotify, and other great stations within 3 to 5 days! So follow this little birdy below for the most intricate of details regarding the lovely VONPOEVII himself!

Our own VIDA KILLZ recently announced that she will be compiling her short stories within a book! The poetry we've already beheld is outta this world, so I personally am extra excited to see what kind of knowledge miss VIDA KILLZ passes down to us within those pages to come.

The Before and After

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

 Welcome my minions, once again to this weeks' Wednesday OGT weekly addition drenched in everything ORGANIZED THREAT! Its also my pleasure to continue with you past a crucial moment in times turning pages: the release of VONPOEVII'S #ONLYGODZRELATE. We have left the before and finally transcended the after, little ones. Can you feel planets dis-aligning?! Do you feel the blood under your skin starting to boil? Do you feel reality start to peel away like wallpaper? Do you feel yourself starting to turn into a wolf? or perhaps, wolf-ette? If so, GOOD, keep listening. Fully loaded with 30 tracks of blood, sweat and poetry, I find it hard to refer to the project as an 'album' because the simple definition doesn't even come close to doing justice to such a natural display of expression. To describe it as anything essentially confines it; a definition is easy to settle for but it also limits other possible avenues of interpretation. For example, an apple is usually an apple. But it can also be a form of pipe, weapon, and in some instances a bribe. The beauty of art and other aspects of life, I believe, is not held solely within the intent of the creator, but also within the beholder's individual interpretation. The beauty of art is within its boundlessness, and I believe #ONLYGODZRELATE is an exemplary paradigm of this. I am more than honored to have contributed to VONPOEVII'S project and if you haven't seen yet; get ready to strip off ya britches! Because #ONLYGODZRELATE [Full Length] has recently been added to YouTube! Click the link, get ya asses over to the channel and make sure to take advantage of the FREE DOWNLOAD as well! Cheers bitches :)
Also! The General himself (VONPOEVII) will also be featured TONIGHT on this weeks addition of BREAL TV! So fellas and fellattes, don't get caught laggin and gaggin on this one! Don't miss this exclusive sneak peek into the mind of VONPOEVII himself. Watch, listen and learn. Follow the little birdy below for the most up to date info as well as all things VONPOEVII! 
Don't you dare miss this one folks! Its 4/20 on Sunday and ya'll know what that means! Stay safe and don't do anything stupid [unless its worth it] But besides that, our very own DJSTARCHILD will be performing at Rhymefest! Follow the little birdy below to get the dirty details about DJSTARCHILD'S performance as well as live updates from the man behind the scratches himself! #OGT 
YOUNG DEVOUR fans look here! Ready for another spectacular YOUNG DEVOUR show? Because he will be performing next Saturday in Whittier CA! The doors open at 6pm and its 10 dolla regular or you can pay 30 dolla for a meet and greet, which ya know is always worth it ^-^ 
Follow the little tweet below for the most intricate details and reserve your spot little ones! Hurry before its too late!
Also, If you haven't gotten a chance to see the beautiful #818TAKEOVER show flyer, please look below. Previously mentioned by Fiasco the [merciful] God, the showcase breakdown is as follows: VONPOEVII, RAZOR, RICSRUMBLE, DJSTARCHILD and other special guests!

ONLY GODZ RELATE 4/14/2014

This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to provide the latest Organized Threat scoop.

ONLY GODZ RELATE IS HERE!!!

 Well...where do I start? I should start off by stating that I have listened to ONLY GODZ RELATE by VON POE VII/Poetic Death. Although I have done this, I only listened to each song once. For me to proceed by analyzing this album or letting you know my favorite tracks, would be disrespectful. You may think I am being lazy but, am I really? This guy just put in work for the past several months and you expect me to go in depth on a 30 track album? No. It's not going to happen. There are still a few things I would like to shed light on even though I won't be able to go in depth about them. Poetic Death is known to inject historical information in his poetry and indeed he does so in this album, it is very noticeable on the track Road To Kemet where he and the features on the track shed light on the history of Ancient Africans. Not only does VON POE VII aim to assists with bringing knowledge to the forefront of Hip-hop, but he also utilizes an element in Hip-hop that could be argued has been lost. That element is DJ'ing. DJ Starchild provided the cuts on ONLY GODZ RELATE. VON POE VII says that ONLY GODZ RELATE "marks the next chapter to the introduction of Goth Hop / Sludge Hop, a combination of morbid poetry mixed with a desire and strive for a higher level of consciousness and overstanding". ONLY GODZ RELATE indeed continues the "Goth Hop / Sludge Hop" that first began with VON POE VII. To pre-order a copy of ONLY GODZ RELATE and help contribute to the campaign, click here. To check out my exclusive interview with VON POE VII/ Poetic Death, which focuses on ONLY GODZ RELATE click here.

And There Goes The Surprise...Lol. Thanks Sev!

 I was trying to keep the interview I set up with EmptySev, a secret from my Street Khemistry team. I was keeping it a secret just for the simple fact I wanted it to be a surprise. EmptySev ruined that with this tweet!! "Tried typing up answers for this interview w/ @StreetKhemistry on my phone and my hand got numb as fuck. Haha I'll do it on the PC tomorrow". The interview will focus on his upcoming album SEVENEMPTY and I know the questions that I composed will force EmptySev to provide new and intriguing information not only on the album, but on himself. The album is scheduled to be released on May 3rd.

Upcoming OGT Performances

 Gavlyn will be performing at Velvet Jones in Barbara, CA on April 24th. Click here to view the flyer. Gavlyn will also be performing the next day, April 25th, at the Back Bar in San Jose, CA. Click here to view the flyer.

Rics Rumble and many other OGT members will perform at the 818 Basement on April 26th. The event is hosted by Organized Threat's own DJ Starchild. Click here to view the flyer and see what other OGT member will be performing.

And It Ends Like This...

 There is your latest Organized Threat news! I was thinking about adding in a "Don't Fourget" or a "Random Organized Threat Tweet" (if you have read my previous blogs you'll know how those go) but, I decided to put as much attention on the historic release of ONLY GODZ RELATE. To show your support, leave a comment below that contains some of your favorite lines that can be heard on the album or tweet them to him @VonPoeVII. Once you have done so, you can consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

What Are You Working For?

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES! 

Welcome, once again, to that fabulous day we socially celebrate as Hump Day. Various theories attempt to explain the origin of the peculiar reference, ranging from fucking someone [or if that doesn't work out, fucking yourself] which is the most logical and most self explanatory, to our generation's sense of humor and that damn commercial camel who goes around asking people what day it is. Regardless, for most of us it signifies the middle of the work week and, if you're anything like I am when I'm swamped with work, today you often remind yourself that it's half way done ['it' being whatever the individual chooses 'it' to be or signify]. But what better time to ask yourself why you're doing what you're doing and exactly how that 'what you're doing' is meaningful than when you're engulfed in your work? A recent little birdy set free by the poetic JASSON C intrigued me.
Sometimes, its a real slap in the face to watch individuals seemingly waste their time, and sometimes even their lives because they don't bother to ponder the importance of what they're getting involved in. It's like, did you have to get into the car with that extremely drunk guy you met at a bar? Did someone force you to bring that gun to school and pull the trigger on your classmates? The most disappointing aspect of freedom is that the human potential can be freely influenced and wasted simply at the turn of a key or the pull of a trigger. We cannot control the randomness of the world, but we CAN control our reactions. And the hardest thing to stomach is that with this responsibility we choose our paths, and therefore we chose this human degradation. It saddens me to look around and watch as people I love sink deep into a mire because they acted just to act, without considering the gravity of their choice. And then I am led to wonder the purpose of it, for some this contagious choice to suffer and for others not, and then I am reminded of a caged animal. And I am instantly reminded of what I never want to let myself become. Thankfully, I am surrounded by folks who live for what they do because they've taken the time and put in the effort to understand exactly what their work means to them personally. They have learning their worth and how to express their inner-forces positively, which i believe is what we're all aiming for. How do you feel about freedom of choice? Whom/what are you working for?

"One's own free unfettered choice, one's own caprice, however wild it may be, one's own fancy worked up at times to frenzy -- is that very "most advantageous advantage" which we have overlooked, which comes under no classification and against which all systems and theories are continually being shattered to atoms. And how do these wiseacres know that man wants a normal, a virtuous choice? What has made them conceive that man must want a rationally advantageous choice? What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead. And choice, of course, the devil only knows what choice."
-Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Now onto #OGT news and updates!
I recently had the pleasure of accompanying VONPOEVII and DJSTARCHILD while they cooked up some spicy shit for #ONLYGODZRELATE which is dropping this Sunday!!! Its always enjoyable to watch the men while they work, since they are such interesting subjects to observe. Artists are beautiful, please enjoy the snapshot below of scratch and blow. Follow the litte birdy for all things DJSTARCHILD and VONPOEVII!!!

 Also, RICS RUMBLE just released a flyer for his upcoming Europe tour!!! If you're on that side of the world, I recommend following this little birdy here and nabbin yourself a spot to support your very own RICS RUMBLE. Help us bring the entire THREAT overseas! 
JOOGY JUGG is also advertising a bit of his #JOOGYMUSIC with the 'ThinkHiR' merchandise! As he's said before 'ThinkHiR isn't a clothing line its a lifestyle'. This is a beautiful example of understanding the gravity of the ideals one stands for; take note. Be sure to stay tuned for more information from JOOGY JUGG as well as new music and merchandise! Support your local OGT member! 
Well, ya shits.
Until next time,
 With Love

Support The Threat

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

Instead of opening up with a lengthy introduction I have decided to get straight to the news. I will challenge myself as a writer to go more in depth with the following two new Organized Threat tracks. 

Wushu Wushu / Happy Birthday Ruman

EmptySev releases a new track entitled Wushu Style, which features Masta Peace and it is produced by Ruman. It is also Ruman's birthday today! Happy Birthday! I did some brief research on what Wushu is and it is a Chinese fighting style. Of course, looking at the cover art chosen by EmptySev to represent this tack should have led me to believe that it had to do with a fighting style. EmptySev opens the track with the following lines "Every man for them self, huh? / That's what they say / Got you caught up in a phase that's gonna last til end of days / too stubborn, to recognize we're all the same particle / I'm part the God you working for, no Yeezy on the HOVAboard / I'm gliding on my jiggy shit." These lines are not only what EmptySev believes in, but it is what Organized Threat stands for. Coincidentally that is exactly the first line on homepage of their (Organized Threat) website, "The Movement Is Strong Because We Are Constructed Of Motivated Minds And Seek Unity Amongst Everything Else". EmptySev's utilization of the binary oppositions, Unity and Separation, is a thought provoking introduction to Wushu Style.

The Perfect Instrumental 

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. releases a brand new sound that he entitles I'm Not Perfect... There are times when I ponder the question of what it means to be perfect. Without a doubt THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.'s new sound has allowed me to revisit that question. As human beings, and still not fully aware of our mind and bodies full potential, maybe what we are in the present, is perfect. Maybe the way I am now is perfect, with the potential to get better. That is to say, what I know now, how my body is now, is indeed perfect even though I do not know everything there is to now nor do I have "24 inch pythons" like Hulk Hogan used to have (it was 24, right?). So even though there I have the potential to increase my knowledge and improve myself physically, (which I am currently working on), the way I am now is perfect. And I am not trying to sound corny, because what I just typed reads similar to the phrase "you are perfect just the way you are". Honestly, maybe we are perfect just the way we are at this present state, but, we can reach another level of perfection, with motivation and determination. There are levels of perfection to this ish. 

Support The Threat!

Poetic Death and Vida Killz are both currently running campaigns on Indie GoGo. To support Poetic Death's campaign and help raise money to create physical copies of ONLY GODZ RELATE, click here. To support Vida Killz's campaign and help raise money to create vinyls of her Negative Space album, click here. Depending on how much you donate, each campaign offers its own unique perk.

Yarah Bravo supplies us with a sneak peak of the artwork of her upcoming Vinyl to be released April 30th. To view the artwork click here. 

My Conclusion Is Always Organized

So there you have it! EmptySev along with producer Ruman drop a new track as well THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. formulating another thought provoking sound. Take another read of the blog and to support Organized Threat, share the blog and spread the word on these 2 new dope tracks. After you have done so you can consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

OGT Weekly 3/31/2014

One, among many things that I am excited for on ONLY GODZ RELATE, is hearing from Soulcat E-Phife and Yarah Bravo. Honestly, those two MCs out of all the others on Organized Threat I am least familiar with. One part is due to my ignorance on how to convert currency and not knowing how much their music is. Although I have heard a couple of verses from each artists, their verses on ONLY GODZ RELATE will be their introduction to me. And I am sure it is their introduction to many other Organized Threat fans. I don't know if they realize that their verses on this album are very important, not only because it helps complete what is ONLY GODZ RELATE, but because I hypothesize that Organized Threat fans in North America are not that familiar with their work, they must come correct on the track they are featured on. After stating that, I am not worried at all that they won't. I have realized that every MC in OGT is always focused on giving 100% all of the time and are all aimed at injecting true poetry and intellect to Hip hop and I am sure that Yarah Bravo and Soulcat E-Phife are capable of doing the same.

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

ONLY GODZ RELATE TRACKLIST REVEALED

Of course what helped birth that introduction was Poetic Death/VON POE VII's decision to officially reveal the tracklist for ONLY GODZ RELATE. This can be gazed upon by clicking here. EVERY ORGANIZED THREAT MEMBER WILL BE ON THE ALBUM!

JMega The God 

 JMega The God releases a new track entitled Metal Armz which is produced by Aquarius Minded. Click here to listen. JMega The God's flow was flawless on this track. Looking at the title of the track, I thought of two possible meanings. The first, I imagined JMega The God taking a superhero/godlike form, with literally metal arms. Using these superhero/godlike metal arms, he was able to birth these incredible lyrics. The second, which probably does not apply to this track, I was thinking about guns. That just may be because I've been listening to a lot of trap music lately. lol :)

As It Travels, The Sooner The Sound Arrives

 THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. reminds us that he is working on his album As Sound Travels. He tweets, "In the lab working on this next album.. I want to make sure this record is as clean as I can make it! #AsSoundTravels.. coming soon".

Negative Space Vinyl Campaign

 As mentioned in the previous OGT Weekly, Vida Killz has started a campaign in order to raise money to make Vinyls of her Negative Space album. There are various different amounts you can donate and each comes with unique incentives. Click this link here to read the incentives and find out how to donate.

Wrap Up

 We really are getting closer folks! It is difficult to not talk about the anticipated album that is ONLY GODZ RELATE. Each and every week, at least around the time that my OGT Weeklys are due, new information surfaces about the album. Each week, Poetic Death/VON POE VII embraces what he has created. Each week, OGT fans are curious to what new information will release. The wait will soon be over. April 13th, 2014 ONLY GODZ RELATE. Before you continue with your Monday routine, take a second or third look at the blog, listen to JMega's track, and absorb the news. Oh, and if you are following a Monday routine, BREAK IT! DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT! You can now consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

WWU (Weekly Wednesday Update)

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

  Congratulations my little nymphs and nymphettes! You've made it another week to this moment we have to share together and i'm exuberantly ready to spread the word about the weekly going-ons within THE MOVEMENT. As the days drag on, we crawl closer and closer to the release of the album that 'Devil's run from': VONPOEVII'S #ONLYGODSRELATE : It seems like everyday his fans are blessed with little structure previews of the construction process for #ONLYGODSRELATE, which in my opinion allows the fan to form a deeper bond once finally hearing the album because essentially, the fan has witnessed the album throughout its creation; from start to finish. The interactive dedication VONPOEVII maintains with his fans is admirable, valuable, and not to mention rare and quite advantageous. That being said, if you haven't gotten to check out the latest #ONLYGODSRELATE update, look below. I ejaculate information, and you my little minions, swallow it. You're welcome.

OGT Weekly 3/24/2014

More than a year later since I started blogging, I am here. I never fathomed the thought that I would one day be blogging for my favorite music artists. But I am here. My writing skills have increased tremendously since blogging for Organized Threat back in October and each Monday is a testament to that. I am in a great position and I am always thankful for every opportunity that presents itself. I find it very difficult to say no, even though I may want to, to an opportunity where people actually want me to be a part of their team. Of course, I never thought about saying no to the position to blog for the OGT Weekly. Denying this position would of been one of the worst decisions I would of ever made in my life. There are millions and millions of music lovers out there but, how many can actually say that they blog for their favorite artist(s)? I am very thankful to be one of those people and because this is true, I really do feel good about myself. To say, "I blog for Organized Threat" is just one of the coolest things ever. Now I can add to the list of "cool" things, I have interviewed Poetic Death/Von Poe VII.
 
Poetic Death/Von Poe VII Interview With FiascoTheGod & Street Khemistry

If you guys didn't know, I also blog for Street Khemistry. Knowing that Poetic Death/Von Poe VII's album ONLY GODZ RELATE was set to release April 13th, I thought it would be a great idea to obtain insight before its release. That's exactly what I did. Using a 5 Question format that we (Street Khemistry) like to call 5 In The Chamber, I interviewed Poetic Death. You can read the entire interview by clicking here. Below is one of the questions followed by the answer (of course):

5. Why have you decided to release ONLY GODZ RELATE under your alter ego Von Poe VII instead of Poetic Death or even your other alter ego Lord Darcia?

- To be honest, the entire embracement of the idea to really push the “VON POE VII” name came from a conversation I had with my brother JMega The God back in October of 2013 after coming back from Europe with Gavlyn and Papa J. Ruiz. While overseas, I became extremely irritated at the promoters for not putting my name on the flyers. For example, the typical flyer we’d see over there would be “Gavlyn and Organized Threat” or sometimes just “Gavlyn”. The problem was (as I swear this to you), at EVERY SINGLE SHOW the crowd was not only happy to see me there, they went crazy during my set. At every show. I’ve never really had fans in the States, most of fans have always been from overseas or Mexico because all the producers and collabs I would do since I was 16yrs old were with artist outside of the States. So for me it was like “Yo, put my name on the flyer so my peoples know I’m out here”. A lot of my fans are older, they don’t do Twitter or Facebook or none of that shit feel me? So in that sense a lot of my fans missed out on a lot in 2013. I came back and told Mega that I felt like a lot of these promoters didn’t want to put the word “Death” on a flyer and would rather promote sex appeal. That had nothing to do with what Gav wanted, but that’s just how these promoters work. She’s young and very attractive, they’re gonna milk it as much as they can. So yea I came back and Mega pretty much hit me with the science, he was like “Well my nigga to be honest, even though death is a natural thing, it represents the end your physical being. So for you to be out there putting out that energy, it’s going to be harder for you to really pull anything positive from it. Music or not, is death something you really want to be promoting?”. Yea man, that shit blew my mind. So he hit me with that, and we started building on the power of the number seven and how the “VONPOEVII” album should be more of an introduction to VON POE the artist. Dropping the “death” moniker and embracing the godliness that lives within all of us. Oh and just to bring it full circle, I use the Roman numeral in my name because I feel that Rome is to Europeans what Egypt is to Africans / African Americans. I am a Black Man, but I was brought up in America, a White Man’s world. So I want to pay respects to both, even though the Roman’s got their lessons from the Egyptians.

Lastly, my Lord Darcia character came to life at a time when I was dealing with a really bad breakup. So for me, that’s where I want that memory to stay. If I end up going through another breakup or something to that effect, I’ll bring him out again. But as of right now, I’m pushing the VII (seven).

What I really like about his answer is that we, the readers, obtain juicy historical information. We learn that Poetic Death's named was not featured on flyers even though he was performing at the show. We learn why Poe thinks that his name wasn't featured on flyers. We learn about about a conversation that he and JMega The God had. Like whaaat. That's crazy information packed into one answer! Absorb that answer because you never know when a game show host will ask you question about Poetic Death that requires one of these answers! I'm serious!
VON POE VII Will Be Re-released

Poetic Death announced on Facebook that he will be re-releasing VON POE VII with an updated cover and playlist this Friday. Since there will be an updated playlist, this could mean we will see previous tracks that were found on previous projects make there way onto the album. Maybe the playlist is just being rearranged with the same tracks. The first possibility seems more plausible though. It will be interesting to see how past tracks will fit into VON POE VII. He also goes on to say that this will be part one of the Villainz Trilogy. You can read the Facebook status by clicking here. 

May 25th 

Papa J. Ruiz has a big announcement on May 25th. He tweeted, "PEEP: Productive day, Out Here Griiinding BIG ANNOUNCEMENT May 25th! S/o @knowledgevision @joogyjugg #iii #OGT #55".Clicking on the link to that tweet will also provide you with a picture of Papa J. It looks as if he is either do a photo shoot or possibly shooting a music video. By tagging Joogy Jugg in the tweet I can't help but speculate that Papa J. has decided to do a music video for a track that Joogy Jugg has produced.

JG Releases New Sounds

JG drops a whole leap of sounds on soundcloud. Although he is known as a producer for Organized Threat, he is very capable of ripping the mic. The sounds recently uploaded on is Soundcloud contains older verses from him as well as instrumental tracks that he has now decided to release. Check them out by clicking here.

Nicer Than His Name

Tomorrow Razor will be dropping off a surprised "Merch Package" to one lucky fan. The package will include 1 copy of my "Sharper Than My Name" album, 1 copy of my "F.A.I.T.H" album, 1 copy of Papa J. Ruiz's "No Recollection" album, 1 copy of Poetic Death's "Von Poe VII" album, 1 "Lyrical Prophet" poster, and 1 #OrganizedThreat "Silencer" T-shirt. To see what cities he might visit, check out the caption in his Instagram picture by clicking here. 
 
Wrap Up

There is your latest scoop on the Organized Threat camp. Before you move on to your next task, please take a second read of the blog as well as check out the interview I conducted with Poetic Death. You are bound to learn something from the interview! I certainly did! You can now consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

LOYALTY

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !
LET'S TALK ABOUT LOYALTY
The ORGANIZED THREAT tweet above sparked my interest and really got me thinking about my own definition of loyalty. First, I find it beneficial to review the technical definition (and by technical I do mean Google's definition since Google is a very well recognized authority figure nowadays) of loyalty, to see the interpretation i'd be up against in court if need ever be. You know never, I mean someone filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit over the definition of 'Dress'; As much as it doesn't matter to the lay man, this shit is important. The definition is as follows:
  1. loy·al
    ˈloiəl/
    adjective
    1. giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or institution.
loy·al·ty
ˈloiəltē/
noun
noun: loyalty
  1.                                       the quality of being loyal to someone or something.                                                                                         
                                                      "her loyalty to her husband of 34 years"                                             
    1. a strong feeling of support or allegiance.
    • plural noun: loyalties
      "fights with in-laws are distressing because they cause divided loyalties"

As you can see, being loyal is technically about 'showing or giving firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or institution'. Inevitably, everyone interprets it differently, but roughly the concept is the same. Really makes you wonder though, Is loyalty a characteristic or a choice, or possibly both? If it is indeed a quality, does that mean that if you're once loyal you're loyal forever? If someone cuts you off or otherwise removes themselves from your life, does that mean their loyalty was arbitrary from the jump? What in the hell does 'firm and constant support' boil down to? It seems to me that, as they say, loyalty is a way of life, not a switch that can be turned on and off at any and every whim to do so. Loyalty is static, not variable. But things do change, and so do people. I'm proud to bear witness to The Movement and the group of individuals behind that Movement who profoundly employ loyalty as a lifestyle rather than a loose-ended decision. Sapplings may sometimes uproot themselves or be uprooted due to improper growth, but overall this forest I walk through shades and reveals all the right things in all the right ways. Think about that last one. In the meantime, to help you contemplate your own interpretation of that peculiar thing called 'Loyalty' please enjoy these words of wisdom, and may your own roots be established in the soil that's right for you.


:AND LASTLY:
