Funk Flex Pays Tribute: Without Ed Lover There Would Be No Hot 97

Here’s a recent social media post from night host Funk Flex that let’s everyone know that without Ed Lover, Hot 97 essentially would exists as major hip hop radio brand.

Now we’re not sure if Flex is screaming at us while simultaneously dropping his audio sound effect bombs or is he doing the old person thing and using ALL CAPS because he doesn’t realize he is yelling at whoever is reading the post. Anyway Ed Lover appreciates the social media shout out: “NEW YORK CITY. NEW YORK CITY LISTEN TO ME… YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!!! THIS IS HOT 9 – 7!”

Wow! I’m overwhelmed! My phone rang all night! Thank you so much @funkflex ! – Ed Lover

LETS STOP THIS TALK ABOUT WHOS WHO AND WHO DID WHAT!

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSONALITY TO COMMAND MORNINGS AT HOT97

93-94 FOR MADISON AVE TO TAKE HOT97 SERIOUS THERE WAS ONE MAN AND ONE MAN ONLY!
THE GUY THAT WAS BIG IN THE STREET AND BIG ON MTV AT THE SAME TIME!

DRE AND LISA G WAS GREAT BUT ED LOVER WAS THE REASON WE LOCKED IN THE HIPHOP FORMAT!
