Dream Building, "Point 8", "American Ultra", and More!

My name is Fiasco, and this is the OGT Weekly. The purpose of the OGT Weekly is to provide you with the latest news coming from the Organzied Threat movement.

 A simple tweet by Papa J. Ruiz of a luxurious house, evoked the introduction for this edition of the OGT Weekly. While on your journey to achieving a goal, you may find it difficult to stay motivated. Ourselves and life get in the way of our goals but, it is also our responsibility to keep ourselves focused. Dream building is one of those ways.


Having trouble staying motivated? Going dream building can help and Papa J. Ruiz has seemed to have figured that out already.I have learned that dream building is an important key to accomplishing a long-term goal. It refocuses your mind on your goal. It will keep you motivated. Picture a house that you want. A car that you want. Your ideal body. Then surround yourself with images that are similar to what you picture. Walk around a nice neighborhood that has some of the nicest houses you have ever seen. Watch motivational videos on Youtube. By surrounding yourself with the things you want, you are programming yourself to stay on the path to success. Papa J. Ruiz tweeted out a picture of a nice big house. That's a good way to keep his mind focused on a goal. The next step for him, if he hasn't already would be to go to the nearest neighborhood that has a community of nice houses and take a look at them. That will surely keep him motivated. Having a nice house or a nice car may not be your goal but it can be something you get as a result of achieving your goal. The way Papa J. Ruiz sees himself obtaining the house of his dreams is by continuing to pursue his music career and be able to make a significant income from it. That's why it is important to go dream building.





Papa J. Ruiz continues to put the focus on his HR-1955 album and he does it by releasing a visual for "Point 8". "Point 8" is one of Papa J. Ruiz's great rapping performances and in this visual, his friends are there to witness it live. The good time that everyone is having in the video really does represent what is needed (fun and support) when we are all working hard. It really does relieve the stress that comes along with being in "grind mode". And for some reason, the multi-colored bright jacket that Papa J. Ruiz wears reminds me of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air TV show. "Point 8" is directed by Chad A. Marshall and produced by Endure.

A Papa J. Ruiz fan shows his loyalty by inking on the "iii"'s in a tattoo. Click here to view the intense tattoo.

For the remainder of this OGT Weekly, address me as Fiasco Ultra.



Here is the visual for "American Ultra"! "American Ultra" evokes a euphoric feeling within me because it really does refresh my memory when I first heard Von Poe VII as Poetic Death. Poe acknowledges that himself within this track when he says, "They sayin that that boy VII is back up on his death shit". Ruman's production gets the assist in bringing that out. Now we have a visual for "American Ultra" and I am very ecstatic about that. Ruman said its's a movie and I agree. The visual is really that captivating and will be the cause of goosebumps around your body. "American Ultra" can be found on Von Poe VII's album The Purity of Love and War.

Von Poe VII announced juicy juicy news through Twitter. Poe lets it be known the features and producers he desires to have on his next project. Ruman, Endure, and 3Point (not-ogt) are known to bring out "The Villain" in Von Poe VII. I can't recall anything from Joogy that has done that in the past, so it is something to think about going forward. Will Joogy's responsibility in the project be to do that as well, or will he be responsible for tracks on the project that will "lighten up" the mood? As far as the features, it would be cliche for me to say, "Von Poe VII does not have a lot of experience collaborating with the desired features besides Papa J. Ruiz so it will be interesting to see how it plays out". The fact is that it doesn't matter if he hasn't done much work with the other features! And it will be more than "interesting"! It's mouthwatering to think about the possibile outcomes that can occur! And...I think I just argued with myself.
"The Space Between" (no not the bubble) by Von Poe VII is one of his most recent tracks to be released. Commencing with thought provoking questions, Von Poe VII proceeds with lyrics that put love over money. Von Poe VII's words in combination with production from UrBan Nerd that will fill your soul, makes for a profound track. Hold onto your chair because you might float away.


Vida Killz posted a quote on her website. The quote reads "Remember Why You Started". Remembering the "why" is also crucial on your path to achieving a goal. Your why will motivate you. Maybe it's to retire your parents, to have a better life for yourself, to help your family, etc. Remembering your "why" will keep you back on the right path if you ever fall off. Yes, you can have more than one why. Just be specific. Going dream building and having a constant reminder of your "why" will, without a doubt have you on your way to achieving your goal(s).
We have the privelege of seeing Razor go to work in the 8th BARS session. Razor entitles it "Frontlines" and we witness why he calls himself the lyrical prophet. "Frontlines" is initiated once Razor becomes an omnipotent weatherman. From there he doesn't slow down as we hear him rhyme with the word "providence" and also rhyme with the word "latency". That was very impressive to me. It is not known yet when or who will be in session 9.
"Pains of Love" is Joogy Music's new visual and it features Papa J. Ruiz. When listening to the production from Joogy Music, the words "triumph" and "confidence" arise in the mind. "Pains of Love" not only showcases his chemistry with Papa J. Ruiz, but it also portrays the smiling faces that Joogy Music gets to be around when he is not crafting music. I guess you can say the visual lets everyone get a peak of Joogy's life outide of music. "Pains" of Love" will be on Joogy Music's upcoming album.

Yarah Bravo inserts a new visual under her belt with her feature in "Long Lost Relative". You definitely want to gaze upon the video more than once. The visual in itself is very pleasing to watch and so your eyes may take over your ears the first time through. Multiple plays after that allow you to connect with the voice and words of Yarah Bravo.

Overseas OGT members unite! While at a block party in Magdeburg (no I don't know where that is. No I'm not using google maps, Yarah Bravo linked and Soulcat linked up and there a picture on Facebook to prove it! Just click here. 

"Long For You (Departure)" by Endure One

Endure One hits your heart with "Long For You (Departure)". The title of the track really does setup for what you experience in his production. The brief sound bites that are intricately placed adds depth to "Long For You (Departure)". I officially vote the cotton candy man for president. Physical sugar for everybody.

"Trials" by Endure One

If you have ever been on trial for a serious crime (murder, theft, parking in the bike lane) then this may bring back some memories. Here is "Trials" by Endure One. If you're laying down or sitting in a chair, I challenge you to be still while listening.

"Lost and Found" by H.V.

"Lost and Found" is a brand new sound from producer H.V. With 27 seconds to the track, it appears that whatever H.V. lost, he found rather quickly.

"We Don't Think About It" by Dylan Montayne (not ogt) featuring Papa J. Ruiz

Papa J. Ruiz was recently featured on a track from Dylan Montayne and it is entitled "We Don't Think About It". Papa J. Ruiz does a captivating job of describing some of his life experiencs and tying that into the title of the track "We Don't Think About It". Whatever fans Dylan Montayne has, withouth a doubt became new listeners of Papa J. Ruiz. Make sure to take advantage of the free download.

"When It Rains It Pours" by Koolz One and Endure One

Wow! What an intense track to end this OGT Weekly with! Here is "When It Rains It Pours", where the rain of emotions from Koolz One pour out over production from Endure One. There isn't room for an ounce of rain to drop for a hook in this one! "When It Rains It Pours" has Koolz One uniquely addressing the hard times he has faced and the production from Endure One becomes an enormous sponge and soaks it up.

There is your OGT Weekly! Make sure to take a second or third look over it to make sure you capture every detail. To further show support to Organized Threat, don't forget to share! Thank you for taking the time out to read and keeping up to date with Organized Threat!

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!

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.

No Minimal Movement (Organized Threat Expands)

"And am I wrong for being different cause, I ain't met too many winners" - Von Poe VII, Song: "Paradox"

I am FiascoTheGod and I composed this blog to let you know the latest ongoings in the Organized Threat camp. I am a highly trained somewhat professional. Please try this at home.

#BREAKINGNEWS: Here is the newest Organized Threat member Xican Brown!



Just like Koolz One did, Xican Brown was able to make a memorable debut video for Organized Threat. Here is "God's Gravedigga" directed by Chad A. Marshall (Von Poe VII). Xican Brown capitilizes on this debut as if he had one shot and relays hair rising lines with an untouchable delivery.

#FiascoThought: With two new members in Organized Threat this definitely shakes up the possibilties on the Organized Threat album! I am really excited to hear Xican Brown and Koolz One work with everyone in the camp. Don't forget that Organized Threat begins the process of their album in the beginning of 2015.


One of my favorite EmptySev tracks receives an appropriate visual. Here is "Gas Chamberz" (produced by Faces) directed by Chad A. Marshall.

Music: Papa J. Ruiz "Swamp Land"

Papa J. Ruiz continues to stimulate the the yearning for his upcoming album HR-1955 with a new sound entitled "Swamp Land". What do you think of when you read the word "swamp"? For me, it signifies unsanitary, deep, treacherous, and even violent. Papa J. Ruiz uses the title "Swamp Land" to describe the environment he is growing up in. Even with all that is going on, there are words of hope and a promising vision from the OGT emcee and the soulful production from Ruman aids to uplift as well.

A Von Poe VII Update

After today, Von Poe VII (or Chad A. Marshall?) is available again to shoot some video specials! For $500 you can have your video shot by the one and only. Click here to see more details. If you are a wack rapper then don't click the link but, please continue reading the OGT Weekly.

A new shipment of ONLY GODZ RELATE hardcopies have arrived, too! Click here to get yours.


The Latest On Jasson C

Song so good I have to make sure you hear it. I know it was featured in the last OGT Weekly but, I have to make sure you didn't miss it. Here is Jasson C's track "Philharmonic" featuring EmptySev and production from Rellim.



After shining on the production on "Philharmonic", Rellim released a new sound entitled "Sluggin". Rellim supplies another dope trap beat and if you think you are able of conquering this gem, click here to lease or own is exclusively.

Jasson C keeps us updated on his album LA Project:


So with that tweet we can confirm that LA Project will have 15 tracks.

Wrap Up

There is another OGT Weekly in the books! I look forward to witnessing more surprises by the end of the year. I doubt they are done. Even if they are, adding two members and annoucing an Organized Threat album is the perfect way to end it. It leaves us, the fans and listeners, wondering what else Koolz One and Xican Brown are going to be able to do to help Organized Threat expand. And we can keep pondering the possible collaborations on the Organized Threat album. I will now leave you with a Twitter gem from Papa J. Ruiz.

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.

Organized Threat. The TEAM. The FAMILY.

"Anyone who jumps ship cause we not blowing up fast enough in they eyes can eat a Dick" - Papa J. Ruiz

Video of the blog: "747s" by Jasson C.

I am FiascoTheGod and it is time for me to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.

#THISJUSTIN: Papa J. Ruiz looks to keep us busy with brand new content this week. We should expect 2 new leaks tonight and a music video tomorrow!




Von Poe VII continues his grind by personally delivering copies of ONLY GODZ RELATE! Click here to view the Instagram post of where he recently was! He never seems to hesitate to provide for his fans and to support those who support him.

"I find it funny / I'm the only one not here for the money /  I should have focused on myself /  Cause maybe then they wouldn't learn from me" - Von Poe VII, Video: The Villain 

Vida Killz and Von Poe VII kicked it recently. You can view their photo on Instagram by clicking here.



Are you ready for a new video from a track by Von Poe VII that is produced by Rellim? I would love to tell you exactly when but, all I can supply right now is this tweet from Rellim that announces that a music video will be "comin". We want more details Rellim!



The last video that Von Poe VII released under Rellim's production was "Paradox" and that can be gazed upon by clicking here.

#EVENTUPDATE: Razor will be throwing a birthday bash on July 11 in the Beverly Hills area. DJ Starchild will be there, too! Click here to view the flyer for more details.



While composing this blog I thought to myself, "what has Jasson C been up to?". My curiosity led me to send him a tweet to see if I could find the answer. Ultimately he let it be known that a "great flood" will be approaching.



I am pleased to close out this blog with 2 new tracks from Organized Threat!

The first comes from JMega The God with his new sound "Written In Steel". JMega The God lays down his godly delivery over production by Aquarius Minded. JMega FLEXXX's HARD in this track.

"I bust guns for my niggas who bust guns for me / I shed blood for my niggas who shed blood for me" - JMega The God.

Whether he meant this metaphorically or literally is not important. It is the message behind it. A motto that some family's (blood related or not) go by. This rings true for JMega and his family.

We also have new music from Rellim and Jasson C. Guess what?! Rellim isn't the producer on this track, he is an emcee alongside Jasson C! When you compare the two you can clearly notice that Jasson C is the more developed emcee but, Rellim still holds his own! Listen to their new track "That Notion" which I praised in my blog for using the word "notion". No it's not the most complex of words but, when it comes to tracks that play off of a word, it is usually a simple word. "That Notion" raises that bar intellectually and creatively.

THERE YOU HAVE IT!

There is your latest Organized Threat news! It is drenched in important news and thought provoking quotes/tweets.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
