Our co-worker DJ Mr. Cee invited Kiss FM’s Ed Lover to take over the Hot97 Throwback At Noon for a special tribute mix to Yo! MTV Raps.
New Mix: Ed Lover’s ‘Yo! MTV Raps’ Throwback at Noon mix
This Sunday, MTV2 is bringing back that iconic hip hop video show, Yo! MTV Raps, with a special episode called Classic Cuts. The show features the original host, Ed Lover, along with our pals like Shaheem Reid, Jayson Rodriguez, Peter Rosenberg and more…as well as yours truly, Miss Info. We’ll be talking about “classic cuts” like ATCQ’s “Scenario”, Ice Cube’s “Today Was a Good Day”, Geto Boys’ “Mind’s Playin’ Tricks On Me” and more. And the show hunted down the legends behind the songs and their contemporaries, interviewing Q Tip, Scarface, Ice Cube, Wiz Khalifa, DJ Khaled, Questlove, Busta Rhymes, Mac Miller, Machine Gun Kelly, Young Jeezy, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Phife, Fat Joe, Common, Mike Epps, Ice T, Meek Mill, Tyga, and Naughty By Nature. The show airs at 12 midnight this Sunday, Dec 4th…right after the MTV2 Sucker Free Awards (which I think I’m also on, lol).
Thank you so much to the Sucker Free Awards team and the ‘Yo! MTV Raps’ Presents Classic Cuts team for inviting me to be part of their shows : )
MOBILE USERS…listen to Ed Lover’s mix…

No one is checking for this dangling carrot (even the cats that NEED to brush up on the history); and it has nothing to do w/the state of hiphop either…no one that is worth anything believes in MTV or any of their affiliates (vis a vie crony-ies). I’m Lookin Out The Front Door (on this one).

its funny how they bringing back the old school legends ,and mixing them in with the new fonies of rap.(mac miller?/machinegun kelly?/ officer Ross?????????????????) dark times upon us.

Came from an era when cats were secure in their manhood and were all about fun, for the most part. When we were coming up, all the rappers outside of NWA, Schooly D, Just Ice and the other really hardcore rappers would pose in ways that make these young boys today say, “pause”. Todays youth are so insecure in so very many ways. SMDH

Funny thing is….I still have that card from the Musicards series. In fact, I think I have the whole series!
I miss the ’90s. 🙁

By the way, [Info], can we get old school mixtapes back on a weekly basis? I no longer have a cassette player to play my Ron G, Chill Will (from the Eastside), Double R, Doo Wop, etc.

Chill man, I’m from the same era.
The style, the hat, the pose, the duckface? It’s a funny and extremely cringe worthy photo and I’m sure that’s why Info picked it.

nice to see mister cee took care of that tranny case.

I’ve been so disenchanted with a lot of hip hop and a lot of the folk that cover it. This comes along at a perfect time. Ed Lover has always been the VOice of NY Hip Hop for me and commands that respect across the broad. Glad to hear Ed back on HOT even for a lil bit.
Classic Yo MTV Rap Pumas!!!

Erasmus High > Bushwick High. Only because Special Ed shot “I Got it Made” in front of Erasmus and the school was instantly cool, lol. Anyway, I’m headed to the intersection of Bushwick… by Flushing ave. today…Shouts to the B.K.!

I always wonder about people who fixate on certain things and bring them up when they have zero to do with the topic at hand. Do you think the rest of us don’t have the same “encyclopedic” knowledge of hip hop as you? We all remember that Cee was arrested and what the juicy gossip about the arrest was. This is an Ed Lover mix with a bunch of great 90’s hip hop. No comprende.
