Power 105 C'mon Son Get Tha Fuck outta Here with that bullshit how u gonna fire hip hop legend Ed Lover power 105 you ill for that nah but Ed lover start a podcast

I was listening to Ed Lover when he was on Hot97 with Dr. Dre. It's a shame he'll be leaving his current post. To speak on the idea that DJs aren't making way for younger talent: Radio stations have the control. The DJ is not waking up and thinking, "Oh let me play whatever I want today." Rather he/she is following a scripted set of music that has been managed and packaged based on the station's desires. So to put the blame of newer talent not getting out on the DJ is short sighted. Go to any music conference and sit in on a DJ/Radio panel and listen from their own mouths. As for the idea that rap starts get aged out faster than rock stars, totally true! The Deftones getting booed off by 14 year old kids indicates a mismanagement in terms of the acts paired with the correct audience. Aerosmith (I love them) is OLD!!!! Aerosmith gets no shortage of love. I think Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones is as old as Jesus, but the concerts are SOLD OUT based on their continued love and support of the fans. BUT In hip hop, if you don't have the mentality of a 15 year old because you are twice the age, then suddenly you cannot connect. That's silly and also short sighted. I agree that I am not going to be listening to the same type of song my 11 year old cousin will. However, that doesn't diminish my desire to hear intricate wordplay flowing over tight beats. For the 25+ set, there is a huge niche for music that appeals to that mindset. I've long been out of high school. What the heck do I care about meeting in between classes? Similarly, how can a 15 year old relate to the struggles of getting laid off, trying to maintain a mortgage and preserve social standing. It's all about relativity. Once we understand that we cannot all fit in the same box and there are more than enough ears the hear whatever music we as artists are putting out, we won't have to pander to the lowest common denominator of topics and behaviors. How many songs about getting a bj after the club can we really listen to? It comes down to creative control and sadly (or happily depending on perspective), it requires striking out on one's own as an independent in order to most assuredly avoid the control that would turn all male rappers into Soulja Boy or all females into Nicki Minaj.

All of you are idiots. Ed lover is history at Power 105, and that is that. Fuck yo couch and theories. Nigga is GONE!

C'MON dunn!

C'MON SON!!!!!

this is why "Hip-Hop" aka mainstream corporate owned rap is the PHUKKING worst i hate how they train...yes TRAIN, like a dog the "Hip-Hop" audience to view elders and music... ONLY in Rap: -the fans expect FREE mixtapes/material and do NOT buy albums and RARELY go to shows -the fans say JaY-Z, Nas, Wu-Tang, Dr.Dre, Snoop...are TOO OLD, when in Rock and Country its a blessing to be old in the industry...you will NEVER hear rock fans say that Ozzy, ACDC, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith Bon Jovi and them are TOO OLD...are you f*cking serious?!?!?!...i agree, there needs to be be new blood, BUT new doesnt mean better...the new talent should be TALENTED, not given a pass just because they are new -rap fans measure success by an artist's money/materials (aka rented cars, homes, boats and jewels)...and by the artist's money (unless its Diddy, 50, Master P or Hova....they are LYING!) i don't know why Ed Lover lost his show, but if it has ANYTHING to do with polititrix...its BS

Another thing white men can be on radio/tv until they die,why should our people be subject to age by our own people, if they are qualified,the Willie Lynch syndrome continues in the minds of too many of us.

To the previous posters,if you ever worked, and you probably have, at a job unless you own the company, you follow rules,which Lover and all jocks on radio must do,its the way it is.As for him movin aside for a younger cat,what world do you live in.NO ONE ABDICATES POWER and if someone is good enough they dont want it handed to them,they want to take it,you know earn it.When you make the money Ed a pioneer made and deserves lets see if you just move aside,that is so naieve(sp).

The truth of the matter is we know Ed lover has love for Hip Hop music;however, like every other human being chasing a check we lose our direction. What I'm trying to say is why didn't he play more New York artist because a lot of good artist drop albums, yet he followed orders to play the same 7 to 8 songs every other station was playing. What happen to the young rebel he once was. I'm not saying other music don't need to be heard from other artist throughout the world, but a lot of good artist never got heard. Ed no disrespect but you will not be missed.
