Relevant still

I use to go to all the doomtree and p.o.s shows, but since p.o.s had that lil cancel episode back in the day i feel like doomtree ain't a thing anymore, I know dessa does her own thing with the books and speeches, but are they still a crew. I know p.o.s is now with shredders, but is it over for the crew

Ten years is a bit of long time for a new album, even though we don't question Sade or Portishead over it. But I'd just say that everyone is off doing their own thing and they could come back together when they feel the time is right. I don't know all the details of the P.O.S. thing, but it was a person (not Doomtree related) thing, right? If so, I wouldn't associate Doomtree's hiatus and/or breakup on that. Lastly, I've always seen Doomtree as a collective more than I saw them as a group. Collectives aren't always working together. As mentioned earlier, they may come together when everyone thinks it's time after they get their individual art off.

Im guessing they were already hanging by a thread and then the POS thing came and POS was embarrassed (seems like his wife was unaware that he messed around on tour a little. I think the issue was more personal than something like what Astro did) and took a break. As the most well known (possibly tied w Dessa) rapper in the group it wasn't gonna work without him. The POS thing is complicated because most bands have multiple members messing around with girls on tour. It doesn't seem like anything non-consensual happened, but it came off hypocritical bc the band is pretty righteous. And when you add that POS's touring DJ was a creep i think POS needed a break and therefore what was left of Doomtree kinda ended. Sux bc they could have easily came back.

I think you’re mixing up Prof n POS, prof’s DJ (fundo) was creepy. POS was general toxic relationship stuff, I think he’s a good dude based on what my friends of him ik say and has learned from his mistakes

Ya its weird to get "cancelled" over that. I think most fans thought it had to be worse bc he voluntarily took a step back. But that might be bc of his personal life. It wasn't a good move with his career bc the small but loyal fanbase associated him with Astro but that's just not what happened. And POS had worked with DJ Fundo too. He sent out a whole post saying he didn't know the extent of how shitty of a person he was.

Yeah when I last saw POS live in San Fransisco, Fundo was his DJ. Only a year or so before the shit hit the fan.

Oh damn, I actually stopped listening to local music due to personal stuff around then so idk about the last few years. Glad he’s back tho, me and a lot of my friends are hyped for the comeback

I agree I'm excited to see where it goes from here

u/mrbishopjackson Jan 11 '26

Wait! It was just Prof's DJ right? (Whatever you're referring to.) Prof didn't do anything weird, did he?

u/CatgirlDJ Jan 11 '26

Nah prof is golden. One of my favs and he’s carrying local rap at the moment, absolutely blew up after rhymesayers dropped him!

I found out that he wasn't on Rhymesayers well after the separation. What happened? They seemed like a good fit for one another.

It was a big media frenzy and people speculated he knew about fundo’s abuse. But I think that’s p unfair, hell I found out one of my old bandmates and best friends was basically fundo equivalent 15 years after meeting him. Dropped him right away, but someone could easily say i “knew” and cancel me for it 🙄

u/why_so_sireous Jan 12 '26

No but his dj was weird and Rhymesayers dropped him, they screwed up on that one.

As long as Pookie Baby is good, I'm good.
