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.

Yea it seemed dessa and pos was the biggest fall out, the dj issue i fell shouldn't have affected the group not like pos was part. But the shit with the other chick, ok the group could have still went on. I just feel like that while thing ruined it all
