Ep. #350: Trump in Hip-Hop, Crypto Controversy, and Ed Lover for President 2028

In this episode of C’Mon Son! The Podcast, Ed Lover is back with his unfiltered takes, joined by the always candid Mrs. Fruit! The duo dives straight into the hot topics, starting with a warm (or not-so-warm) welcome to the new president. Ed runs down some executive orders that kicked off this new term and isn’t holding back on his thoughts about politicians—he’s calling out the crooks on BOTH sides. “F*** ’em all!” he declares.

Ed also breaks down why the middle class ALWAYS gets the short end of the stick, why big corporations keep winning, and how he’s only not a Republican because he actually cares about people. With comparisons to gang life and some tough truths about political agendas (looking at you, Biden and Kamala), Ed even toys with the idea of running for president in 2028. Spoiler: His presidency would be a wild ride!

The conversation then shifts to Los Angeles, wildfires, and some real talk about the city’s future (hint: Mrs. Fruit says LA might become a ghost town). They also send their heartfelt sympathies to those impacted by the devastating fires.

Next, Ed and Mrs. Fruit unpack the drama at the Cryptoball—why Snoop caught the most heat, Nelly should’ve stayed quiet, and why Soulja Boy’s performance didn’t hit. Oh, and while Snoop is deep in crypto, Rick Ross? Let’s just say he’s not exactly seen as a leader, no shade.

Plus, Ed reflects on hip-hop’s complicated relationship with Donald Trump, how Black culture made certain brands hot (hello, Hennessey, Reebok, Grey Goose, Adidas plus many many more), and Chrisette Michelle’s fallout from Trump’s inauguration. Lastly, they rant about Netflix raising their prices AGAIN.

This episode is raw, real, and absolutely Ed Lover. Tune in for laughs, rants, and plenty of “C’mon Son!” moments.
