Mathew Gabriel Gonzales Interview

Image
Featuring is Mathew, a San Josean' with soul deep instilled in helping progress with what is currently happening right now. Here is a take on how life is from a man who searches to help forth with showing the positiveness with showing the world how California Culture really is. Below is a link to a documentary he is currently on and will be helping Substance. What’s your take on the sound coming out from the Silicon Valley with that of the Bay Area?   I think there is a lot more variety coming out of San Jose. Artists here have nothing to lose when it comes to being artistic. So the creative process becomes without boundary. In my opinion it makes for better art because everything is more laid back. In bigger cities everyone is competing and vying to become the next big thing. Not to say there isnt competition in the SV, but it doesnt feel like there is so much pressure on the music scene to always produce the next big hit compared to cities such as SF, NY, LA.

A lot of anger stems from a country who refuses to go out without a bang! Big Shout out to Chase for being out on the front lines!

Rarely so often, do you begin to see life at its starting point. Follow the links in the description for the older episodes. Big ups to Poetic Death and the crew from Organized Threat for their impacting in music. In June of 2011, after the release of his 9th solo album "Shakespeare Science", Poetic decided to leave his job and dedicate his entirety to turning his music goals into a reality. He would later put his endeavors on hold, and spend the rest of 2011 rebuilding the Organized Threat foundation from the ground up in an attempt to establish The Movement as an entity that should not be overlooked. On December 31st, 2011, with the launch of the Official Organized Threat website he announced that the foundation had been placed in accordance and that he would then be spending more time focusing on his personal works and fan base again. To kick things off he announced to production of "Death To The Shogun: Chapt.3" The last of its trilogy. Organized Thre

The beauty I’ve experienced

The beauty I’ve experienced by Ramon  The beauty I’ve experienced associating myself with music and art is the pure bliss of creation by human hands and minds. The escape in going to back alley venues or sold out auditoriums is what frees my mind away from the day to day media of hearing Lockheed casualties and reading how many people were killed at a house party. The true representation of underground is being able to be with people that enjoy the peacefulness of witnessing our countries underground giants defeating mainstream cancerous giants. Why would people be afraid of photos showing what really happens in “raves”. All I’ve seen are faces with smiles and hands being put up high reaching towards the endless escape into our universe. With the reality of our present tensions in a country that is constantly at war, there are a few people in this country reaching out to other parts of this world in finding the peace we’ve always wanted.  So let us Rage into 2012 and become t

Interview with Poetic Death

Image
I just want to say thank you for taking the time for Substance What is the misunderstanding with Hip-Hop and Rap? - Well first off, thank you for the interview bro. I appreciate it. In terms of your question, I think the major misunderstanding between Hip-Hop and Rap is the category in which each is placed. Rap is one element to Hip-Hop, whereas Hip-Hop is the culture in its entirety. You see this a lot with just about any "Hip-Hop" artist in the past ten years. People who think that just because they can rap, that makes them Hip-Hop. Wrong, Hip-Hop is the culture. So even if you have some decent raps, your overall lifestyle and the subject matter of your works can completely demolish your Hip-Hop Pass if you are misrepresenting the culture. Common went to Haiti and filmed "Sweet" with no security, Drake can't do that. That's the difference. How do you see the next generation of music lovers with more and more people graduating with college

Generations of misunderstanding.

Image
Generations of misunderstanding.  By Ramon There may be a man who sits next to you as a child. For reasons unknown, he speaks with no clear direction. What could a man have seen, that would want him to stay as a child. There sits a man, who’s seen the world turn from the brightest of bright, turn to the onyx of blackness.  There sits a man, who plays a game with rules constantly being reformed to the advantage of others. There sits a man, who refuses to sit and watch people continually abuse the beauty of life. Once a child reaches the state of being a man and learns the cruel intentions others play on each other for the sake of the next prestige of corporate advancement, the game of life may seem less corrupted if he reverts to quality of living as he remembers growing up. Everyone is seeking to find happiness in a country that was built on the tears and pain of all who knew too well just how cruel this game of life could be. The history written and told by our elder

Poetic Death - Breathe / Purification [Official Music Video]

Image
Speaking on the harsh realities of living the American dream is shown for face value in the spiritual flow in Poetic Death's lyrics. We are the children and the future who are living in this establishment on the backs and land of people who were just wishing to be left alone. The importance of what Poetic Death preaches is an ideology that we should all come to an understanding that we live in this country that should start seeing the problems of today for a better future of tomorrow. Uploaded by  TheOrganizedThreat  on  Dec 4, 2011 With The Start of Poetic's Latest Album "Death To The Shogun Chapt.3" He Wanted To Drop a Video Blending a Verse From "Death To The Shogun Chapt.2" and The First Single Off of "Death To The Shogun Chapt.3". Which Will Be Dropping Early 2012. www.OrganizedThreat.com .................................................... www.PoeticDeath.com Youtube (Personal): http://www.youtube.com/PoeticDeathOgT

Shankey Srinivasan Area Codes

Image
Tapping into the human complexity of our disillusions of numbers, Shankey Srinivasan film “Area Codes”, draws into the fascination with numbers being the secondary and death being the primary subject. This film draws reality into what I would describe as a light/dark comedy with the main center piece of how death is just simply waiting for the inevitable. This film puts you in the seat of the Grim Reaper himself. Very much loved for those who are fans of this genre and enjoy the indulgent of dark comedy.

My perspective on Street art has always been foggy when it comes to appreciation. A lot of buzz has been around the internet with the thought process behind the image of local street artist. Art is the visual distortion of reality. A long time local San Jose artist has taken a new direction in repping the Chip into a new light for people in the appreciation of what fine art should be. Looking into his style, you begin to wonder what the road one must have taken to reach this complexity in visual distortion. His blending is absolutely incredible. What this man does with a spray can is truly a gift. Jimmy Fonseca, provides this gift of describing beauty with forcing the canvas to bleed with life of color and finesse. His current blog currently features a personal inside story of what I call a real artist. The images below are what beauty ought to be showcased in the art history books of generations who are willing to admit that Monet must have been a blind artist. Blog

Along with the television commercials featuring men grating cheese from the faces of people, we don't take things to that extreme. This is entertainment that is respect. Big thanks to all the wrestlers who go out there bringing entertainment.   Local sportsmen showing sportsmanship. There will be BLOOD in the WATER!

Interview with Vida Killz

Image
Hey what's up. Happy your taking the time for an interview. Thanks for reaching out ! What is Hip-hop in San Jose? Hip hop in San Jose. I'm just one person, don't think I could give a proper definition. My interpretation of it is this: It's a vast sea of talent, like chess, there's a lot of cats making moves but very few plotting 10 moves ahead. However, those who are..are eating, those who aren't..are hating on those who got their bellies full first. At the end of the day, everyone here is looking out for their family, and I def respect that. As of late, I've even seen more cats building with different subdivisions of camps, which is dope. Final thought, I wish there was less talk and more action.  Less hate and more support amongst the artists/camps/collectives. The followers, fans, supporters and even camps/ artists/ collectives deserve it. Do you feel progression being the change for San Jose as a movement towards being considered a r
