P.O.B.U.M.S. SOCIETY

MEANING of the NAME: P.O.B.U.M.S. SOCIETY

D.G.A.F. created the name P.O.B.U.M.S., which stood for Poor Oppressed Brothers Under Mental Stress.

DJ N.A.K.A.I.L. and K.I.K. later added SOCIETY (Sisters of Conscious Intellect Educating the Youth) to the name. So the full name of the group reads as P.O.B.U.M.S. SOCIETY. Later, the meaning of P.O.B.U.M.S. was changed to Positive Outlooks Balances Universal Madness Strategically.

MISSION STATEMENT of the GODZ
P.O.B.U.M.S. SOCIETY represents what they feel Hip-Hop should be from a DJ, Emcee, and Producer’s point of view . . .  turntable wizardry, lyrical skills, PHAT beats, and especially true emotion for the art form! 

In so many words, P.O.B.U.M.S. SOCIETY is tired of the passenger seat thugs, iced-out, nine-million naked females in the video, not dropping jewels (knowledge) to educate and wake up the masses, wannabe player, gold and platinum teeth, no skills having, heavily recycled Casio sounding beat, ignorant ass rappers, who spits anything on the mic just to make a dollar. (No offense of course... lol)

 

Let's just be honest. Everyone wants to get paid and make money but at what expense. We're not knocking what you do but it's time for some of this phony ass bullshit to get knocked out. If you have to sell your soul to the Devil just to get money, fame, and fortune . . .  is it really worth it? If you have to sell out the art, the culture, and then sell out your People is it really worth it?

P.O.B.U.M.S. SOCIETY rocks for the poor and oppressed, not for the glitz and glamour! This is Hip-Hop from the heart! P.O.B.U.M.S. SOCIETY is here to bring Hip-Hop from a Midwest point of view in its purest form, as they know it. Undiluted and untampered with!
