July 31Ep. #408: WE THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA BLOW UP
Line Dancing, Freak Songs & The Stars That Should've Been Bigger
This week, Ed Lover is back with another unfiltered conversation covering everything from Southern road trips and viral line dances to the evolution of hip-hop and R&B. After recapping an unforgettable weekend in Atlanta—including a hidden gem serving what might be the best biscuits in the South—Ed dives into the latest music conversations, breaks down Young M.A's "Spend Dat," and asks whether today's artists are really pushing the envelope like the legends did.
Then the conversation takes a nostalgic turn as Ed names the artists he truly believed were destined for superstardom but never quite reached the heights they deserved. It's funny, passionate, opinionated, and guaranteed to spark debate.
In This Episode:
Ed recaps his weekend in Atlanta and why one restaurant is absolutely worth the drive.

Why line dancing has become one of the hottest trends in the country.

The hilarious new dance that's got everyone asking, "Where's my draws?"

Ed reacts to Young M.A's "Spend Dat" and compares today's explicit records to the classic freak anthems that defined an era.

Are today's artists playing it too safe?

The performers Ed thought would become megastars—but never quite got there.

Cool Breeze, Amerie, Craig Mack, Omarion, The D.O.C., Marilyn Manson, Vivian Green, and more.

Plus, plenty of laughs, stories, hot takes, and classic C'MON SON! moments.

May 23 Ep. #404: Live From Houston Cigar Week: The Game Needs Respect
This week, Ed Lover checks in live from Houston Cigar Week for a quick but REAL episode of C’Mon Son! The Podcast. Ed dives into today’s rap beef culture and how social media has turned outrageous opinions into a business model, where people say anything for clicks and attention. Using rapper Max B claiming he’s better than legendary MCs like Big Daddy Kane as an example, Ed questions whether people even believe the things they say anymore.
Ed also talks about the growing tension between the younger generation and the OGs in hip hop, explaining why he prefers calling them “YPs” — young people — instead of “YNs.” While he believes respect for the pioneers is missing, he also reminds older generations and parents that young adults today are dealing with pressures unlike ever before.
From sky-high rent and groceries to car notes, insurance, and the struggle to find affordable housing even after graduating college or trade programs, Ed shares a heartfelt message about patience, understanding, and supporting young people trying to survive in today’s economy.
Real talk, laughs, perspective, and classic Ed Lover energy — C’MON SON!
