The rap video director has created political advertisements against George W. Bush in the past, and he is quoted as saying, "We've got to get George W. Bush out of office, and it's very important that kids understand what a serious condition the world is in with this madman." Most of the ads end with the phrase "George Bush, he's not on our side." Boom is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans. He directed the 2009 film, Next Day Air.
