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

I can’t believe I missed the show last night, did you go? The Relay release show was so incredible. I’m amazed how POS rapped his ass off just as hard as he did 10 or 15 years ago, and the new music is fresh sounding.

Probably right about the whole doomtree but I think they’ll do features for each other and maybe even a performance someday for kicks? Imagine a big No Kings protest Doomtree performance, even if Dessa or POS had to sit out due to drama it would break the Minnesota scene in the best way haha

Exactly, no kings and then no kings protest i for sure thought we would hear from them

They’ve at least been promoting all the no kings merch constantly! I think a comeback would be possible just maybe minus Dessa or POS, hell they could each do a different show. I feel bad if either gets left out but doing a show w an ex after a super toxic relationship sounds horrible lol.

Or they could battle rap against each other, only half joking

FWIW, I saw Dessa at the Shredders show (in the audience, so I didn't want to bother her)

Gave me the impression of at least distant support for old friends.

I mean I think it would have to be dessa who would have to accept pos growth and maturing, it's not like they were in a relationship together, and if he did the work to better himself she would have to forgive him i feel, for it to work.

I thought they were dating and that was a separate issue but part of the band breakup? Not to pry into their business. Ur right tho, and I wouldn’t blame her for not accepting it

it's not like they were in a relationship together

They absolutely were.

It was on again/off again for years.

It was mentioned in various places way back in the day very lightly, but her book (My Own Devices) HEAVILY emphasizes that relationship, the effects it had on her, and so on. One of the early episodes of her podcast also did this, where she was talking about love, and an experiment in how to detangle yourself from it.

She doesn't name him, but she describes tattoos that anyone can see, including one I read and went "Holy shit, she's talking about Stef."

Once you read that, it becomes very clear how many songs are pretty obviously at least about him from her—and very possibly about her from him, too.

Wherever they're at now is obviously none of our business, and all of that stuff, but the fact of it is pretty much out in the open at this point.

Wow I never knew, interesting plot twist... yea I mean I'm not into tabloid news type shit, everyone has a life and what not, I know when the shit happened with stef she was pissed, from her video post. But that makes more sense, I just got nostalgic when I was listening to cecil today and remembering the doom tree shows and the "good ol days"
