    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! 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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    This week on C’Mon Son! The Podcast, Ed Lover kicks things off with a freestyle that immediately sets the tone for another funny, honest, and wide-ranging conversation with Mrs. Fruit. From comedy etiquette and the importance of real co-signs, to the evolution of Hip-Hop and the genres that helped shape and expand it, Ed reflects on culture, creativity, and giving credit where it’s due. The episode also takes a personal turn as Ed talks about caring for the true superstar of the household — the family dog, Marlon — before diving into a deeper conversation about marriage, masculinity, femininity, and why balance and understanding have been such an important part of his relationship with Mrs. Fruit. Together, they talk about how relationship dynamics have shifted over time, the importance of communication and accountability, and why faith continues to keep them grounded. And for anyone out there still waiting on love, Ed and Mrs. Fruit leave listeners with encouragement to stay patient, stay rooted in God’s word, and trust that the right person will come in the right season. 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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
