    Ed Lover and his ride-or-die, Vanessa aka Mrs. Fruit, are back with a passionate ODE to the forgotten greats of hip-hop! 💿🔥 This week, they reflect on the passing of the legendary Angie Stone—before the solo hits, she was part of Sequence, the first-ever Southern hip-hop group signed to a label, and they even wrote “Apache” for Sugar Hill Gang!

They shout out Lost Legends like AZ, Pharoahe Monch, Tragedy Khadafi, and Styles P—MCs who deserve way more love! 💯 From DJ disrespect skipping verses, to fans who only care about hooks and beats, to Tupac dying with only $60K in the bank but immortalized in the culture—this episode is a raw, unfiltered celebration of hip-hop’s true pioneers. 💔🎤 PLUS: 🌀 Rick Ross vs. Styles P 🌀 Why Cam’Ron’s verse on “Suck It or Not” STILL slaps 🌀 Wu-Tang memories, local roller rinks, and the greatness of “The Thorough Borough” 🗽 🌀 Fashion, the future, and the formula for a hit song today 👀 🌀 And more thoughts on Drake, Megan Thee Stallion, and the evolving industry landscape.

    This week, Ed Lover and Mrs. Fruit tackle the chaos happening in the culture—starting with Big U, the prominent LA music executive and Rollin’ 60s OG, now a fugitive facing racketeering, extortion, and murder charges. The streets are talking, and Ed breaks down what this all means. Then, it’s Kanye vs. Kim, and things are getting dark. Kim holds the power, and Kanye is spiraling—again. Mrs. Fruit says there’s no way her daughter would be at Kanye’s house, while Ed reveals Ye’s disrespectful comments about Jay-Z’s kids. Vanessa’s got one word: Goofball. (Where’s Will Smith when you need him?!) Also in this episode: 🎭 Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good—Ed gives his real thoughts on their wedding. 🎤 The Breakfast Club Drama—Jess Hilarious says the show is "ran like East Side High," and Ed calls her out! Plus, he spills on his own transition out of NYC radio and how he laid the groundwork for The Breakfast Club’s success. 🎶 Old Kanye vs. New Kanye—Ed and Vanessa detail the dark social media posts Kanye recently posted, and eventually reminisce on the days when Kanye was someone they actually rooted for. That Kanye is loooooong gone; Mrs. Fruit believes he’s never been the same since losing his mother—and Ed agrees. And before they wrap, Ed and Mrs. Fruit leave listeners with this thought: "Sometimes it’s best to…" (walk away, put your foot in your mouth, choose love—you fill in the blank!).
