#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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Untitled 3/17/2014
At the time Poetic Death released VON POE VII, I was a brand new listener and there were many things that impressed me about the album that convinced me to stay a listener. One of those things was Poetic Death allowing Overstand Basics to recite one of his own poems on the album. Yes, it is labeled as a skit but I see it as a track on the album (I normally don't consider skits as a track on an album). Why did it impress me? Well for one, it is a sick ass poem. Secondly, Poetic Death basically let another person obtain some sort of shine on his album and Poetic Death was not even part of it. It wasn't Poetic Death featuring Overstand Basics, it was just Overstand Basics. To me, that showed me that Poetic Death is more concerned about putting out the best possible piece of art. If that means allowing a poet to do his own thing on the album, then Poe is willing to do that. As fans/listeners/admirers/bloggers we should all look for that when we are searching for an artist. We shouldn't settle for someone who is not willing to let another artist obtain some shine just because he or she believes that since it is their album, they should be the main attraction and all attention should be focused on them. We should not settle for less because it is our time and money that we invest in.
It's FiascoTheGod and I am here to provide you with the latest Organized Threat news.
Overstand Basics To Be On ONLY GODZ RELATE?
What triggered the thought to compose that introduction was a brief conversation Poetic Death and Overstand Basics had via Twitter. Poetic Death tweeted "@overstandbasics bro can you shoot me that poem again, the email got scrambled". Now I know I may look like an idiot now. There isn't much to come to the conclusion that Overstand Basics will indeed be on ONLY GODZ RELATE but there is a possibility. Of course that isn't saying much when I can basically say something outrageous and go, "well there is a possibility". But no, really...Overstand Basics appearing on the album seems like a possibility.
Update From The General
If you haven't noticed, there has not been much activity going on with the Organized Threat Youtube channel. The general, Poetic Death acknowledges this in a recent Facebook status. Click here to read what he had to announce.
Poetic Death To NY
Poetic Death tweeted that he will be going to New York in May. He confirmed with me via Twitter that this trip will be to shoot a music video with producer Saheed who is confirmed as one of the producers on ONLY GODZ RELATE. You can check out our brief Twitter exchange by clicking here.
The Latest On JG
Producer JG has created a Tumblr page that will focus solely on "background information on [his] tunes". JG entitled his page THE SITES & SOUNDS OF JG. In his first blog post he mentions his contribution to Vida Killz' Negative Space project:

Producer JG has created a Tumblr page that will focus solely on "background information on [his] tunes". JG entitled his page THE SITES & SOUNDS OF JG. In his first blog post he mentions his contribution to Vida Killz' Negative Space project:
The “Intro” and “Outro” to vidakillz Negative Pace album were actually sent to Vida as one track. She split it and turned the resulting pieces into the opener and closer of this fantastic album.
This is a really good idea by JG. The Organized Threat fans will surely enjoy background information about the music that JG has created. Fans receive historical information and they are also reminded of older pieces of work and may feel inclined to go back and listen to it. (I am not implying that nobody listens to older pieces of music. We don't always remember ever song by each artist, you know?). It would be really cool if other members of Organized Threat decided to do something like JG is doing. Even if it's not on a consistent basis, it will still be intriguing to learn background information, when we do obtain it. To read the rest of JG's blog, click here.
Papa J. Ruiz x JG
It looks like Papa J. Ruiz and JG have something in the works. JG tweeted Papa J. mentioning that he would like to have a verse on a beat entitled Butter that he sent him and Papa J. Ruiz gave him the green light. Eventually Papa J. received JG's verse but wants a longer verse from JG. You can peep their Twitter conversation by clicking here.
Formulating A Thought
THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. recently sent out a tweet that is composed of his opinion on some MCs. He tweeted, "I feel like some mc's run out subject matter so they go back to same themes Money; choes, drugs, cloths cuz it sells and people will dance". Now, at this moment I do not have a response. Although I do not have a response, I do not think he is out of line either. What I would like to know as I am sure he is as well, is your opinion. You can do so by leaving a comment below or replying to the tweet itself.
