After attending the SoSo Def 25th Anniversary Tour in Atlanta this past weekend, Ed Lover was reminded that it's not a lot of artists that can say they've left AND/OR will leave a legacy in this music business. This week, Ed Lover sends a reminder to his listeners to respect those musicians who left a footprint in music (i.e. Ashanti, Ed also touches base on how messed up it is that the internet trolled her following the sale of only 25 tickets to her show) plus speaks on how much of a blessing it is for those who have left a legacy in any industry. This is a great, but quick episode. Enjoy. :)

As cliche as it sounds, the phrase "...it's a thin line between love and hate" is oh-so true. One minute, a couple can be whirl-windily in love and as soon as something goes wrong or the dynamic changes, love can transpire into a form of hate, rather against said person, or even self-hate. This week, Ed and his producer Krista sat in studio and gave different perspectives on how love can resurface into hate ... or, do they just sound bitter over their exes? Chime in and comment below.

Black. Lives. Matter. This three-word phrase has grown into an international social justice movement that stemmed from the shooting death of the teenaged Trayvon Martin. From Reverend Al Sharpton pressing the injustice non-stop on PoliticsNation back in 2012, to today - Colin Kaepernick's inspirational "take-a-knee" protest during NFL games, Trayvon's legacy is STILL felt, but unfortunately, the sad reality is black people find themselves everyday still trying to prove that their lives really do matter. In this episode, Ed Lover speaks on the phone with Trayvon's father, Tracy Martin, as we gear up for another episode of the docu-series "Rest In Power: The Trayvon Martin Story," which airs tonight at 10 PM EST and streams on ParamountNetwork.com. Enjoy.

Three very valid points were discovered this week during the recording of Ed's podcast:
- BIG REALITY: we need music programs back in schools.
- SOLID FACT: Shifts in hip-hop are inevitable.
- THE FUTURE: The next generation/shift in hip-hop could be negatively influenced due to the lack of music-driven programs (and the history of instrumentation/music) in our schools.
Listen and tell us if you agree/disagree.
