Ed Lover

So when Fat Joe says nigga.

Take it from Ed Lover, okay? A person who's been down since 89 professionally in the business.

A guy that's known Fat Joe his whole career.

Fat Joe digging in the crates.

And he doesn't call me Ed, by the way.

Yeah.

He always says Ed lover.

ad lover my nigga ad lover how you

Ah.

You know, I was looking for Enter the 36 Chamber or, um, or The Chronic, and they couldn't find, uh, they were showing me Ed Lover and Dr. Dre, Who's the Man?

Mm-hmm.

And I'm like, "That's not the Dr. Dre." You know what I'm saying?

We are unfiltered with Lover and Fruit.

My name is Ed Lover.

My

name is

No.

You should have got more than $1.3 million out of 26 women.

Shut up, Edwin.

If you're going to scam somebody, scam some real bitches with some money.

Just lie on the wall shitting shit.

Like, I met Ed Lover way back before I even got on and shit.

Of course, he doesn't remember it, but it's weird how these things work, man.

that is being from being from the town and remembering that battle and we wouldn't think nobody else outside would even

That's nuts.

I know the big moment was Pac- ... uh, on there when, um, Ed Lover was trying to cover his mouth [laughs]

Mm

... from indicting him- incriminating himself.

Mm.

Like, your MTV Raps was just iconic.

I remember Dr. Dre and Ed Lover just being them dudes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, if you don't know, Al used to work on the Hot 97 Morning Show with Ed Lover and Dr. Dre here in New York City, uh, for many years.

Uh-

East Coast Dr. Dre.

Right.

You know? Uh, like any other genre of music, it be- it becomes, you know, part of your life, and, uh, hip hop had many different, it has many different elements to it.

Uh, but the morning show, they brought in Ed Lover and Dr. Dre in the morning and teamed, uh, those two guys up with Lisa Glasberg, known as Lisa G.

Mm-hmm.

Yo! MTV Raps Unplugged.

And J. Ray, before I let you go, I want to say I want to give props to Ted Demi, Fab Five Freddy, Todd One, Dr. Dre and Ed Lover, because they behind the scenes, you know, some of them were front facing, but behind the scenes, they really had to fight for this representation.

So I really want to give them props.

And Ted Demme was fought for it as well.

So, so let me, let me tell you two.

I told you Pac was the type of nigga, he was like, "You ain't get that role, but come stay with me in the hotel." It was us, uh, uh, Mo Preme, Ed Lover, uh, uh, uh, uh, Stretch from Live Squad.

Um-

What, Ed Lover Radio? Ed Lover?

Yeah.

Oh, shit.
