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. :/

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.
