Ed Lover

James Roberts (born February 12, 1963 in Hollis, Queens, New York), better known as Ed Lover, is an African-American rapper, actor, musician, radio personality, and MTV VJ.

He is best known for being the co-host of MTV's hip hop music specialty program "Yo! MTV Raps" with partner Andre "Doctor Dré" Brown. He had his own dance called the "Ed Lover Dance" that became popular in the 1990s. The Ed Lover Dance was performed to the track "The 900 Number" by DJ Mark the 45 King.

Ed and Dré released only one album, 1994's poorly received "Back Up Off Me!" The previous year, they starred as a pair of hapless barbers turned police officers in the feature film "Who's the Man?".

Currently he's a radio personality on New York's Hip-Hop Radio Power 105.1 FM, and was recently reprimanded by Oprah Winfrey for his use of the word "bitches," leading to an Oprah show on the subject of disrespect in hip-hop to be broadcast soon. He also appeared on the VH1 program "100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders" in 2002.

Lover also hosted a show on HBO in 2000-2001 titled "KO Nation".

Ed is currently the host of the hit TV show "Hip Hop Hold 'Em". He is also currently the co-host of the morning show on WWPR-FM (Power 105.1) in New York City.
