For us Cosby Show heads. THANK YOU for NOT letting Math cut off the rest of Ed's Cosby show story!! Thursday nights at 8pm followed by a Different World was some real TV back then!!
@@darianjordan6852 YOOOOO!!!!! I first heard Nas on "Live at the BBQ"-Main Source.... and I was like "wait, hold up..... what?!?"...(pokin' the rewind button like it owed me money!!!!) Then I heard him on "Back to the Grill"-3rd Bass... I was TIGHT cause I BROKE the rewind button!! - Gen X knows wassup!!!!
So if you were born in the 80s, how could you comprehend what you were witnessing? I could see it if you said you were glad you comprehended it in the 90s cause you were older and your brain was more developed. This is just a question.
I'm from Europe, and the dubbed version of the Cosby show was first once a week in a prime time spot, then re-runs were on TV daily until 2007 or something. That show was super successfull
Ed was on a freestyle session on Sway & King Tech's Wake-Up Show, and dude was not only coming off the top, dude was holding his own among the heavyweights at the time. Salute Ed.
Ed Lover is a living legend in hip hop..all of us 80s babies who grew up in the 90s are now witnessing the last few testimonies of the golden Era...this interview def took me back to my childhood!
This is the guy who collects everything cool in hip hop. I bet he has everything a person who is a collector wants. His stories is fire and seen it all! Seen all the legends hung with the hustlers. This is my guy since yo MTV raps when I was a youngin
Ed is a huge piece of hip hop. In chicago i had the rapdown and yo mtv raps, and that kept me up on hip hop as a kid. I’m 45 and i been watching this dude since i was 9
I'm 45 too from the UK. Yo! was the only way to keep up with hip hop. But you had to have cable or satellite TV. I had an uncle who would record it for me on vhs. I gotta look for that sh!t
@@asithaellepola6388 that’s dope. My dad used to just hack cable boxes so we’d get free cable. We used to call them “black boxes” in chicago. I also used to tape them. I wish i still had those tapes, BUT i recently found out that the old episodes are on Paramount+
MATH...these episodes with ed lover is taking me back, for real son. Being from Chicago yo MTV rap was the only hip-hop I was getting at the time. Yo MTV rap made me laugh and understand the many genre hip-hop can become for a young man. Much love for bringing me this nostalgia.
It's great to hear "GOOD" stories about the Bill Cosby many of us got to know and love. And to especially hear Ed's admirable story about Bill Cosby is what people need to know about.
Exactly, ppl r complicated There can be good and bad in all of us at the same time. He did some horrific things but it doesn't take away the good experiences ppl had with the man.
@@sergioh336 "He did some horrific things" He DID? Or was alleged to have done? Don't speak in absolutes if you cannot prove it. Especially when we know these are merely attacks on the Black community, using Cosby and so many others as proxys.
Edlover. Such a legend. Awesome stories. Edlover and Dre were a force for hip-hop exposing so much talent. Big up for bringing him to the show. Hip-hop needs these stories
You ever been REALLY happy good things happened for certain people? That's Ed Lover all day. He has stories from pivotal points in people's lives & he can deliver them all with 100% believability.
We talk about Yo! MTV Raps because it took Ed nationally into people living rooms. However, if you're from the Tri State area you also know Ed (Lisa and Dre in the morning) as a hip hop radio personality on a hip hop radio show which predates any nationally syndicated hip hop radio morning show out today. Lets pay homage
Skeezer actually came from cocaine/crack, because coke used to be called "ski" in the '70s and '80s... ski, of course, is in reference to snow skis. Cocaine was also called "snow," so it transitioned to "ski." So a skeezer was a street walker addicted to cocaine or crack who was willing to give you sexual favors in exchange for that ski. A lot of rappers in the '80s had "ski" in their names... i.e. Joeski Love and Lovebug Starski. Because they were advertising that they were DOPE. Dope is another name for drugs, of course. Coke is a drug. That's where it all came from... Shout out to Brother ?uestlove.
Wow, I never knew that either. Even though i was a little kid during that time period, i feel like i should have known something like that by now. I'm a little embarrassed lol. Thanks!
Historical sh*t right here! So proud to have lived through these moments in time. Watching Yo as a kid in the 80’s and through it’s final run is something that you just had to experience. The last episode with the super cypher was bitter sweet but the illest thing to witness! If you know you know, if not do your homework!
Ed lover and Pac were super tight friends.✊🏾 He and Dre’s album back up off went good back in the day, They were that popular. Who’s the man featuring Biggie still fire.
I respect Ed lover. I change his tire one night downtown in the A few years ago he had a flat tire at the store didn't have a car jack. I lookout for em. Legendary guy.... 💯💯💯
You know My Expert Opinion is killin' it when you watch the clips AND plan on running back the full episode too. C'mon man Ed Lover is everything. #90sonmyMind The only thing that was gonna bring me inside as a kid was Yo!
Dope Azz interview!!! Correction tho..Pac was suppose to play the Shareef role,which he didn’t like how that character was scripted. Which is why him & Hughes Bros had conflict.
I miss Ed's show on Sirius XM Backspin/Classic Rap channel. I could listen to him talk all day. So many great stories and was a great interviewer as well. Love this dude!
Man 80s hip hop will never get old ,I was fortunate to be alive at that time as a teenager, great times man ,best decade in hip hop ever ,90s too but nothing beats the 80s ,Ed lover was great and still is
This Ed Lover interview is just getting better and better. Look, youngin- new millennium rapper, THIS is what y’all are missing. Look at this brotha’s soul. Look at how he’s actually a “brotha”, not a ni66a like y’all. There’s still purity in him. The culture lives through. Can you not see that because your moms uterus had crack and alcohol in in it? Can you not see the difference??
Mecca said it best..."Hip hop didn't show up on TV" so Ed Love on The Cosby show was a big thing. Special Ed on the Cosby show a big thing. Damn he got everybody named Ed on there.
DARRYL “Chill” Mitchell popped up as well on that same SPECIAL ED episode. Lance was about to bust his ass for trying to dance with RUDY and her friends at that Teen Club.
This is a great video. I remember all the interviews Ed is talking about. LL did kill the game with I Need Love. 2Pac was pissed as hell about the Hughes brothers lawsuit. Bill Cosby had some many actors appear on his show. Angela Bassett was on the very 1st episode. I thought it was really cool when James Brown was on the show, music from 2 generations. Awesome!
First comment in history for me but the human instrumentalist deserve this. I'm from Memphis been listening to sounds and dude next to ed lover you was on point with that I thought it was a machine that shit super hard to me
I remember Ed like it was yesterday. In Nigeria, West Africa, in the 90s, we used to watch Yo' MTV Raps Nigerian time after 12 midnight. I think Music Box and Rapcity were during the day in the afternoon. Hope Dre and his partner get better, though.
Growing up with Hip Hop. There were moments that you physically felt the world shift The moment you first heard The Message or Follow The Leader. At that point the world as you knew it would never be the same
Ed Lover & Chuck D are the best people to interview! Their knowledge of Hip Hop history and their stories combine to make every second educational and entertaining!💯

So if you were born in the 80s, how could you comprehend what you were witnessing? I could see it if you said you were glad you comprehended it in the 90s cause you were older and your brain was more developed. This is just a question.
At that time the Cosby show wasn’t just the biggest, highest viewed black tv show on television; it was THE biggest show in the world.
Yes indeed. It got so big Fox had to send Married Wirh Children and The Simpsons to compete
I'm from Europe, and the dubbed version of the Cosby show was first once a week in a prime time spot, then re-runs were on TV daily until 2007 or something.
That show was super successfull
Yo! I was floored when I found out The Cosby Show was syndicated in Africa.
Ed is such a legend. This is your best guest yet. For real
Very Humble. 😊
Hands down he is a legend and the best guest most definitely
Whoever was beatboxing salute 🫡
That’s me thanks 😂
Memories fr fr.
Hip hop don't stop ❤
He’s the real MVP (most valuable podder) 😂
Lol right
Bruh the fact that he can recall rhymes he did in the 80s like it was yesterday is phenomenal. I'm about to go watch WHO'S THE MAN right now
Man I been trying to find that fucking movie for years. It’s not streaming on any platform or is it?
Ed Lover is Legendary 💯
Ed? Ed...Loovre? And Doctor...Dree?
Ed was on a freestyle session on Sway & King Tech's Wake-Up Show, and dude was not only coming off the top, dude was holding his own among the heavyweights at the time. Salute Ed.
@@edub7969homie you are so right. I can’t find that movie on anything. Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+ Prime Video all of them nothing

We don’t celebrate Ed Lover enough. He is an icon . The Ed Lover dance was hilarious.

Bring back C’mon Son! I miss that show😂😂Salute 🫡 Ed Lover
Yes yes y’all we got the vibe 🙏🏿
Ed is such a great story teller I could listen to this brother all day.
Math asking what the name of Bill Cosby’s show was is WILD 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe he was thinking he had some sort of comedy sketch show going on at the time 🤷🏾♂️
@@Jason-lv4uuppl don’t know bill had a show in the late 60s called “the bill Cosby show” and then “the Cosby show” as we know it
Don’t forget “FAT ALBERT” 😉
Ed's story is a part of hip hop history.
Man, Ed Lover is iconic from my childhood! Really looking forward to the entire episode. Salute to you Math!
2 Pac was on A Different World. Mr Cosby was more in tune with the culture than people give him credit for.
Real Shit but that might have to do more with DEBBIE ALLEN, Phylicia Rashad’s Sis (Claire Huxtable, of course).
@@curtis75blacklol right
I agree my Brother 😊🎉🎉😊
These interviews with Ed are f*cking legendary! Can't wait until the interview is posted in its entirety.
Next year it will be out..
You ever been REALLY happy good things happened for certain people? That's Ed Lover all day. He has stories from pivotal points in people's lives & he can deliver them all with 100% believability.
Fantastic to see E L.....
❤YO MTV RAPS...😊

As a Cosby fan, it’s refreshing to hear good Cosby story. I know he got his issues but this still my guy.
What if he violated a woman in your family? Such a stupid comment
@@arkhamknight6371 None of us were there.
Ed lover and Pac were super tight friends.✊🏾
He and Dre’s album back up off went good back in the day, They were that popular.
Who’s the man featuring Biggie still fire.
I never missed an esposide of Yo MTV Raps after school back in the day. Same with Saturday's when Fab Five Freddy hosted.
I love hearing old stories from the legends in hip hop. This podcast is definitely top 3. And its not 3 or 2.
That rhyme was dope!!!!🔥🔥❤️🤣
Big UP 💯💯watching this just gave me a BAR much RESPECT MaFF!
Man, I wish I could tell Ed how much we (of that era) appreciate him and Dre for Yo! MTV Raps!
I remember this so well because I have the Cosby show collection and a lot of Yo MTV raps interviews on tape all the way down to the last episode.
Salute to bro for remembering the exact scene Ed Lover was in on The Cosby Show.
Hell yeah math this is one for the true hiphop fanatics, love the diversity of guests

Correction tho..Pac was suppose to play the Shareef role,which he didn’t like how that character was scripted.

This segment is so dope!!! Salute!!!
