Lil Rob on Having Issues Doing Shows in Northern Cali, Being Called Jay-Z of Chicano Rap (Part 6) 

This man Is a great example for Hip Hop. Notice how he’s humble, made it a point numerous times that he just want to rock out and perform for ALL races and when tested admitted with no shame that he’s been booed, had bottles thrown at him and attempts just for a name and still talk about it all very respectfully, not acting gangster or hard and really just being honest. 👏🏾 👏🏾 More artists should be as transparent,humble and good examples like this man. God bless you Rob! For sure god is going to continue making sure you continue touching the people and spreading a positive message

Here in the Norte we have nothing to hate about Lil’ Rob. He never disrespected us. Me personally, I enjoy his music. I’m into oldies/funk & he knows how to remix them well better than any other Chicano rapper 🔥 this vato denounced his Sur affiliation, his hood affiliation….but still gets hate. Doesn’t make any sense. The Raza beef will never cease. Its always your own people who wanna bring you down. From your geography, music, religion, neighborhood, politics, beliefs, pride etc it will never end 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's messed up how people want to hate on Lil Rob just because he got radio play with his style of rapping, at the end of the day he's talented and his music is dope but sometimes a Chicanos worst enemy is another Chicano , a lot of artist black and brown , Norte or Southside wish they could have a career as successful as Lil Robs

Norteno/Sureno beef is the reason Mexican rappers will never get to the next level. To reach Platinum status you need the support of ALL OF YOUR people not just half of your people...

This is how long the parts should be so there isn’t multiple uploads of 5 minute clips

They should've had someone interview him that actually knows his music and career

I am from the city of San Jose, California......a city that is considered a Northerner stronghold, but also has one of the largest Southerner communities in California. I am also of Vietnamese descent, and grew up on the East Side where gangs and hoods were prevalent. I always remembered in the 90's seeing Lil Rob's and other Southerner rap CDs at Sam Goody and some other record stores around San Jose and I was always intrigued. I dressed like them due to the era I was growing up in-Nike Cortez, Dickie suits, Pendleton's etc and all of my homies were no different. I always enjoyed the music from the Southerners a bit more than the Northerner music mainly because the Southside music had that OG Barrio, Cholo, Ese vibe to it, whereas the Northerner rap music was heavily produced and had a more "Black" feel to it. If you are from the Bay Area and were active during the 90's and early 2000's, you will understand how the "Bay Area" sound was so distinct and completely different than Southsider music. I'll never forget being in school and not being able to bump any Southsider music (even when I was not entangled in the 13, 14 culture) because the area my school was in was a 14 only area. I never hated on Lil Rob. I was around when he went to Northern California to do his thing and heard all about the ruckus that ensued. The Northerners laughed about it of course, and to be honest, even I was like "Damn, wtf Lil Rob doing up here?!" Some things will never change, and unfortunately, the 13 and 14 war will never ever cease. Their values are so similar, yet their culture is so different.

Hes not the Jay Z of anything. Hes Lil Rob, dude is in his own lane.

Lil rob went into what's considered enemy territory when the war was on. Today the prison politics is different due to the peace treaty.A lot of rappers hate on him but will never cross those lines.

I grew up in Okinawa and I DEFINITELY witnessed how much they love Chicano culture out there

Definition of "cool" "humble" "chill" Respect lowk😎✌🏽

Not a fan of this homies music but he seems humble af and wears it all on his sleeve. Much respect and success to this vato 🙏

I’m from Northern California and I’m Mexican and we like lil robs shit. He ain’t on no banging shit and promotes brown pride. Even tho I ain’t all cholo’d out, he still represents the jente well.

He came to Stockton to perform, and there were some fights at the fairgrounds

dude seems real down to earth very humble peace to the mexicans and u big homey lil rob

Whoever hates on Lil Rob is a lame for real! Dude is a cool guy and always represents La Raza con orgullo! 🇲🇽

I loved his music in Northern California. But he’s right, he was hated from a certain demographic. This makes me respect him more. Dude has always been just about raza. But playing his music made you a target up here.

Really great interview. VladTv is the greatest content, love the interview structure.

watching from NYC lil rob interview is dope !

This dudes humbleness and quality is what makes him jay z of latin rap

25:11 he should be the Mexican E40 do songs with young artists and still be relevant after all these years

I loved this man at 13 and I love him now at 31 😂sheesh

This a real stand-up dude when I meet him...much continue success for this Chicano rap legend

I love lil rob. I can honestly thanks to him and his old forum.wrbsite, I met my wife. Now we're 14 years in and have 3 beautiful kids. I opened up for him a few times when I was an independent artist. He is a legend. Best interviews! Thanks Vlad!

Man! ese lil Rob dope listen to him in high school 2000s and still bumping him.

This guy is the chilliest humble dude killed it on the bumper remix

Lil Rob has the most chill vibe. Saint Louis fwy.

In other words lil Rob has love for every Mexican regardless if you are sureno or norteno or Paisa

Respect Lil Rob Legend 🇲🇽🇺🇸🇦🇷🙌🏽

Humble dude 🙌🔊

Sounds like a pretty chill vato idk why we all hated him growing up north sounds like a vato I’d drink with this whole interview changed my perspective of this dude.

I saw Lil Rob once cruising down my block in San Jose

Good work 👍 boys love y'all keep doing it❤❤❤😁😁🎉

Legend in the game period

This is a good guy shows how ignorant those thugs are with that gang bs

I like this interviewer

The interviewer is doing his best Vlad impression

Hellya that's whatsup Rob any chain can be broken we got to show them sometimes that theirs no reason at all not to be civil

How could you have a problem with someone so humble ? I don't understand

Much love and respect to a Latin icon for sure I ca. Honestly say I remember he was hated so much and coming from central cali I got to see it first hand I got to say he never gave a dam and kept it rolling and kept repping the Raza period it's cool to see hi, still making music and shows After all these years 😮

Random but just saw a Lil Rob tag inside Taco Masa in LB. 7th and Park by Wilson High

I remember running into this dude randomly in bakersfield

✊️🇲🇽🇺🇸Ese Lil Rob's back.

Lil Rob should link up with GoldToes, he pussing to close that gap between the south and north

I personally don't lil rob personally but i love his music !

All to the bueno is straight fire salute OG

I was at that Low rider show it was the mid 00's he just said the Wrong thing on stage im surpised theres no footage on RU-vid fr

Big tone needs his djvlad interview

In my opinion Lil Rob started Chicano rap ,starting with neighbor hood music

I think they hate on lil Rob up here because they just think he’s a Sureno. They don’t realize he’s just a chill dude not tryin to start any drama

He’s the truth.

Ya should Interview Sick Jack from Physcho Realm

"Jay Z of Chicano Rap" is wild. 😂

🔥🔥

Lil rob is cool! ❤

He looks like the cholo pitbull

This clip editor said fk it, lets get this outta the way haha. Brownpride!

lil rob - la cantina ….. freaking best song 😊

HEY ROB LET'S GET A SONG WITH WICKED FROM THE BROWNSIDE, LAST REMAINING MEMBER OF THE BROWNSIDE. TOKER HAD NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU, BEFORE HE PASSED.

I wish he could do another Sureno blues The outcome type of vibes

Seems like the interviewer didn’t know about Nortenos. It’s more to it than just being from southern cal.

OG LIL-ROB#1 LEGENDARY LEGEND!

Didn't mention the Lil G, Royal T, Mr Shadow diss. NorCal prolly didn't like Sureño Blues.

R.I.P is 🔥

Yeah he's definitely Jay-Z of Chicano rap💯

Gold Coast needs to take a little rob to a low rider show in the Bay!!

haha up north i guarantee some homeboys and definitely homegirls bump lil rob on the low. same tortas bumpin nbridaz up here got a lil rob playlist too

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I guess them nortenos don't fuck with you

San Jose Frisco and Salinas are Northern strongholds.

Lil Rob legend. Can you check out what's up with SPM?

The fact that he lived in San Jose is crazy to me.

Great interview, but Vlad, who the heck is interviewing him

This guy looks like the definition of "vato" 😂😂

1218 supporter allday!! Lets goo!!

Yo im REALLY ANNOYED that there is people that dont like lil Rob. Seriously smh!

we aint playing that shit up north

Nobody mentions kid frost lighter shade of brown or Mr criminal lil Rob has been putting it down for a long time but the GOAT of Chicano Rap is SPM if he never caught that case he would be massive

Lil Rob what about Mr Shadow ? The Mayham Click

Yall should see where he's from in San Diego 😂

❤

Lil rob great Chicano rapper one of the best

South Park Mexican 4 life

I was wondering why lil rob would have problems w Northern California shows then I saw he’s a southerner!!

Bizzy Bone Legend

West coast 4-life ❤

I've been to shows here in AZ where individuals have booed or thrown stuff at the OG for playing Southern California I hate people like that as to where someone like me I was born an raised here in PHX AZ I have a huge background growing up in souther Cali specifically East Los where that song applies to me growing up with my cousins I know the culture its BS people are like that out here in AZ I get it but let thr OG rep where he's from

1218 GOAT!

I love what he is saying. Santa Cruz is a good spot right? Not that my old arse could get there but he is wonderful. You stay safe, if our people do that they are idiots.

Wish vlad would of done this interview.

Whoever called him Jay z of Chicano rap is CRAZY 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good times! I remeber the SF show throwing CDs and everything else at him, the dude who walked up and threw a big gulp sized drink at him drenched him but he kept rapping so I give him that. LRM had it in an issue a few months later and ended the article by saying “we’ll see you nortenos next year” 😂 . He didn’t say anything about the albums he was on in the 90s that weren’t so “Brown pride”

My favorite lil rob tracks are .my crazy life. If you should loose me .listen hear what am saying

You clown kills me with that he’s humble talk. He’s a rapper. He has to talk like that in these interviews to sell records. You expect him to be like “Yea it 13 Sur on mine holmes fk up north!” 😂

This interviewer needs to know better info about who he is interviewing and the Latin culture

I don't understand where the Jay-Z comparison comes from?

He handed out CDs at the San Francisco supershow and we lit his ass up with them 😂then ran him off stage and chased him out of the Bay...Ñ

The only people hating on him are other mexicans. I didn't even know who he was until a mexican showed me his music. I don't think most people outside mexicans know who he is.
