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! https://verifi.podscribe.com/pxl?advertiser=audible&client=05e67ccb-726b-4ba7-8b4f-d9db5a08fbe7&clname=cmonsonthepodcast_us_audible_587132&dt=%%delivery_time%%&eid=%%episodeid%%&event_type=imp&ip=%%ip%%&ord=%%cachebuster%%&pid=%%podcastid%%&plt=megaphone&pub=poddigital&ua=%%ua%%&v=1
