#378 - Lil Rob

It was cracking. Man. It's show him but a little Rob. Make sure you come check me out on Bootleg keV podcast or I let you there.

Man, all right, yo man, Bootleg CAV Podcast, Bootleg keV Show special guests here a legend, Lil Rob is here.

Well, thank you, big dog, Thank you man. N it's chilling. What's going on, man, Just working on some new music. Man got a new album coming out November, third Man at the Winter, So it just started to come out here and hang out with you man and talk about it. Man.

Yes, it's crazy because, like you we were just talking a little bit, you guys, Like you know, I talked to Bash a lot, and He's like, I'm busier now than I've been my whole career.

Like you guys.

I feel like every weekend I see you guys doing like three or four shows together.

And I feel that too, Man, even me, I'm more busy this time than I ever was before too. And it's just different this time, and I appreciate it more so, like going out there and making the people happy and everything. So it's been a really good giant. Man. So you have me, Bash and Magic been doing these shows for the past that's like four years and uh and just rocking them, man, you know what I mean?

Do you what do you attribute to that? Do you think it's like people?

Because I think like music is kind of in a weird place where, like, you know, we don't have a perfect example, Like a lot of tours this past summer got canceled, but the ones that didn't get canceled were like fifty Cents Tour and with Khalifa and Snoops Tour. I feel like, for whatever reason, like if you're coming from a certain era, like the fans, I kind of missed that ship because the current music is it's.

A little it's a little microwavable if you will.

I mean, I like a little bit of everything.

Man.

But I know who would have thought that back in the days we would write that kind of music that would last, you know, as long as it has man, and hopefully it lasts forever, you know what I mean. But to be a part of that is really really dope. And and the fact that me and Fingers wrote a song called Summer Nice to kind of blew the hell up and and uh, yeah, that's what I've been surviving off for a long time. Dog's been that's crazy.

Yeah, Yo, when you wrote the line right next to the Pacific to be specific, one of the hardest lines ever.

Yeah, it's like a quick, essential little robine.

Yeah. Yeah, you know I've heard people make fun of it sometimes, man, like, oh, you put those rhymes together out of each all the time. But hey, man, you know I used to live right there by the by the specific to be specific. So that's why, man, everything was written and not not s kitchen right there in my town, so you know, it's off on the beach.

I was gonna say you kind of like when I think of San Diego. I mean, obviously recently there's been some dope dudes out of San Diego, but I think of you.

I think jail felt me.

I kind of think you guys are kind of like the yeah, the San Diego guys for you, Like you've been carrying that San Diego flag for so long, Like why do you think like San Diego still hasn't really popped yet in terms of like mainstream hip hop.

I mean I don't really I don't really pay attention to like what's really going on or why why I don't hit? I mean, I guess if you just have a hit record, then it's just gonna It's just gonna happen, you know what I mean. Like even me, like Summer Nights, I couldn't even stop it. I didn't try to write a hit record, but it just kind of happened that way. And I think that, you know, whatever the people are digging at the time, I guess you know a lot of luck, I guess too, you know everything.

Yeah, there's a lot of luck involved.

With shine right place, right people and all that. You know.

Yeah, for sure, I was gonna ask you for you like seeing kind of when you guys first came out, I feel like there was like the low rider circuit. Obviously radio supported you guys. There was kind of like this like very small collective of like Latin art or Mexican artists doing hip hop. Now I feel like it's gotten so big to where, like, you know, I never ever thought that I would like see like a guy like Paesel Pluma doing like the VMA's right, or a guy like are you a hip to that Mexican ot.

Super dope? Like like I feel.

Like too many of the jams or nothing like that, right, But when I have come across from him, way dope.

Yeah, it just feels like the the like Mexican space and hip hop. And obviously I don't want to call pac hip hop because you're not. But the Mexican space and hip hop has grown to be like so so big, Like there's so many like independent artists, artist getting signed the major labels like and you guys are kind of like the forefathers of a lot of that.

Ship, you know what I'm saying.

I'm pretty sure people were rapping everywhere, you know what I mean, like in San Diego, in La and you know, I.

Just be like in terms of like there being like a real like recognition of like what guys.

I was able to see it with the social media and everything, you know, because back when I came up, it was uh, you know, proper those Yeah, you know what I mean. There was empower leship brown as the tribe uh Spanish fly from the Harbor area that I would bomb.

And then there was like shows like Pocos Pedals locals who would like.

You know a little bit later.

Yeah, right, you would have to like listen like Sunday Nights in Phoenix and be able to kind of discover all these artists. But I just feel like now it's like it's like so big, like you know what I'm saying, Like in terms of just the it feels like there's a real movement like for you, do you like, are you somebody who's gotten to the point in your career where you're looking to like sign any artists?

Are you just kind of working on.

Your own ship traveling kind of know who I was when I signed with the label, you know, and what kind of a headache I was to them, you know, but not showing up the shows and doing you know, they would set up shows and everything and I would have to, you know, go, but sometimes I wouldn't even show up for just one go or call them that same morning and say I'm not gonna make it after there's been promotion going on for that show and everything, you know what I mean. Too much partying, Uh nah,

Is that why you said you appreciate it more this time.

I appreciate it a lot more now, you know what I mean. And it's not for the money, it's not for the likes, it's not for anything like that. Like this new album. Man, it's coming back for the fuck over, you know what I mean. Because I've been doing shows for a long time with Magic and Bash, and we've been selling them out, man, so that they're to check us out. Man, And they'd be asking me when it's a new music coming, and I never have an answer for him.

So but now no, I do any features on the new album.

No, I just saw me.

Man, that's dope. I'm working with Fingers again.

Because yeah, yeah, you haven't songs with Fingers. We have one jam on there might not make it, man, it's fun partly my favorite one on the jam, but on the thing. But trying to clear the sample, man and getting back at us. So we've got to clear that sample.

Man. Yeah, that's tough. Yeah, you know what I mean.

Yeah, so your favorite song on the album might not make it because of a sample.

One of my favorites. It's really like, you know, like repping and you know what.

You know what can you tell tell us what sample it is?

Uh? You know what, man, I can't even think off hand with it. It's hard to fight and oldie.

Yeah, oh, they're hitting you for sure, they get in your pocket.

It's a hard to find one. I am getting back at us.

I said, oh, they're not even getting back at you.

Now. We're waiting. We're waiting for I.

Said, you just let a flo you know what I mean. Sometimes you got to just let the sample fly.

Yeah, let's see what happened.

You know, there's a guy name There's a dude I know named Static Selector who's a big hip hop producer and he puts out albums and I always ask him because he's independent and.

All his beats are sampled.

Oh yeah yeah, And.

I'm like, dude, you must have a hard time and he's like.

Well, that's like that's like me too. With everyone's saying their favorite album is Crazy Life, and we were sampling everything that get my hand with breakbeats.

And right now, that's why he's like, dude, we just drop it and like if we hear about it, it means music's doing well.

Yeah, yeah for sure.

Yeah, so you clear it later? Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean, yeah, talk about for you, man, how dope has it kind of been to? Like when?

Because I feel like when you and I got into radio in two thousand and five, and I think the first time I might have saw you live is maybe like six or seven.

But I was like.

Working at a radio station in Phoenix when Neighborhood Music like popped off, like that ship was like a real wave. It was like that you had the song Neighborhood Music. Yea, yeah, yeah, you had to bring out the freaking you. Trying to think of all your radio singles that we played, those are the ones that come to my mind.

We're better to getting by the god on the radio.

Barely getting by. It was dope for sure, for sure. And then obviously summer nights is summer nights. But at that same time Magic had sexy Lady and obviously and be righters head.

What they were doing. Is it dope to kind of be able to.

Like like be side by side with a guy like Magic and be like, look how far we've come, Like you know what I'm saying.

Oh yeah, yeah, we go way back too, man, We've been in San Diego. Because I believe he wanted to sign me at one point or something like that.

He wanted to sign you.

Yeah, I think so, yeah, yeah, I think so, I didn't work together and stuff, and I end up working with the same label and we ended up Upstairs things out yea Upstairs Records.

Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean Upstairs Records had everybody.

So then we uh, you know, I would go out to uh. I went to Phoenix to work with with Magic and we did California and City everyone knows. So yeah, we worked together from the get go.

And then obviously even like a guy like baby Bash who's kind of turned into everyone's favorite, like high uncle.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was just saying, man, I was on the way here, I was running a little bit late, and I was dressing not a little bit. So I started puffing on the joint that the Bash's team gave me, so that cherry waves. So yeah, I shout out to you Weed.

You gotta you just gotta make sure, you know, oh yeah, yeah, I don't know that you got a few. You got a few hours to yourself, you know.

Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.

So you're high right now.

That's a little a little bit good. A couple of buffs and that's it.

What's your biggest market these days? Like, what do you know is like that one market? Like no matter what they're showing out for you?

Well, I say, I would say Los Angeles man, And it's so big too where you guys you could do a show over here and over here and over there, and yeah you can do like you still rock.

There's so many little areas in l A.

Yeah yeah, sure, rocket for me, man. So even that with you know, hooking up with the step On for this video and everything almost like showing love to to La too, you.

Know, yeah, of course he's a legend.

Yeah, yeah, for sure, man. And uh, you know talking about getting stuck like like like it's a Friday, you know in traffic in l A. You know what I mean? And you don't want to get stuck in life?

Did he directed did a new video?

Oh? Yeah, he directed the new video? Yeah?

Did you watch his Netflix documentary that? Yeah? A cartoon that was sick?

Yeah? Yeah that cartoon? Did these for me? Man?

Did the twelve eighteen? Yeah? That's how much was that? What did he did? He hit you? Like? Peak? Mister? Cartoon prices for those U?

I don't remember? Man? I think we were just chilling and listening to some oldies and having a couple of beers.

Like back then, mister Cartoon could charged anything for attaching rappers.

Would have been like, yeah, no, I think I think he hooked me up pretty nicely. Man. It was dope. Thank you for shout out to cartoon.

Shout out to mister Cartoon.

Yeah yeah, I been a minute, been a minute for sure. Step I shot the cover for Neighborhood Music.

Damn, that's crazy.

I shot that. So that's back in two thousand and four. Man. Wow, so we go way back to you know, way back.

Are you aware that like people kind of look at you as like kind of like the the j Z of Chicano rap. Do you like understand that like that's because whenever we think about Chicano rap, like you were the god of it.

Man.

Yeah, no, I mean I hear it, man, But you know it's just always just like going to the studio and doing my thing. Man. So that part doesn't really doesn't.

The noise and all the like extra shit doesn't really come across.

Your radar, not really, man. I mean it does, it comes across my radar, but I don't really like it's kind of like deflected, kind of like a little bit because it doesn't make it doesn't do me. Oh no, I got no opinion on it. You know. Yeah, that's a trip though, But I don't look at myself like that, and I just kind of like and I think maybe that's why the people dig what I'm doing. I don't know, It's kind.

Of works, right, I always wonder coming from San Diego, there's kind of like a weird like rivalry.

Between San Diego and La.

Uh huh.

But and same thing with Phoenix, Like Phoenix in La has this big rivalry, especially when it comes to sports, but like La is like always embraced you, always embraced magic in such a crazy way for you, Like was it a little harder for you to be a guy from San Diego and break like up top in La or was it like pretty easy just because of what you were doing?

Yeah? I think it was pretty easy just because of what I was doing, you know.

Yeah.

But a big part of me when I first started was a big shout out to Spanish Flight from the Harbor area. I would listen to them man and always doug what they were doing with the oldie samples and everything. So, I mean that's kind of like where I started as so, you know, big shout out to I was just in La music all ready too, you know. Yeah, but this is way back in them like ninety ninety that like ninety or something.

Like that when the Chargers moved to La. Are you still like a Charger fan?

Now? I pretty much stop watching football, man. You were just like when it was over, when it was San Diego Chargers, that was one thing, you know, Chargers, then you got you know, you got other teams lit the Los Angeles.

I don't I just be so heartbroken.

I couldn't imagine like my football team leaving to like a different city.

Yeah. Well luckily I wasn't into it that much to be like heartbroken, right right right, okay, Farista whatever. So now now I just yeah, I don't.

Have Padres much.

It's there the padres man who.

Has the best Mexican food San Diego or La.

My first it's a single, but just first songs.

Yeah, so first time you actually released any musically anything ninety two Man, that's crazy casette tape in the record longevity.

Man.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, man, And you can't I mean, I couldn't plan for it. It's kind of happened that way, you know. Yeah, but I appreciate it and everything.

Man, So what would be like and everything you said earlier that you know, you kind of went through your spouts with the not showing up the shows and maybe taking advantage of.

The ship a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

For any young up and coming artists.

For you know, you've obviously kind of made mistakes that you know, maybe they can learn from. What would be some things you would you would advise them?

Yeah, I made mistakes that I could learn from or that I learned from, and other people's made mistakes towards me that that I've learned from, you know what I mean. So it's you know, never step on nobody's toes. Don't burn no bridges because you never know. Man, be humble, but either you are humble that you're not, you know what I mean. So you can't act like you're humble. You know, it's either you are or not. So and just never never burned nobody. Man. You just never know, man, you.

Know, yeah, yeah, never burn a bridge.

Very keep the word and everything, man, I always keep the word, you know.

Yeah, I forget a couple of others. But yeah, with the film, Marie.

You guys are doing so many shows together.

Have you ever considered doing like a best of both worlds or like a West Side Connection type of album where it's like you Bash and Magic and maybe it's like ten songs.

I was talking about doing some jazz, you know, that would be coral. We did a couple of games already, me and Me and Magic and uh, we have one that's coming out on a Magic's album.

I guess, well, you guys that did a record like three or four years ago with that what's that his name?

Cucko? I was gonna say Koku ship, but that song was fucking raw.

That went pretty big, man.

So that song was that was a beautiful song. Yeah, man, that dude's sick.

That's good. He's good.

And then there's a god damn it, I can't think of the kid's name. What's the kid's name from Ocean Side that's doing the old.

School hollow hollow great guy, yeah, very cool man. So I liked what he was doing, so hit the mouth. But I've done so many features lately where I thought maybe it was just time to do my own, you know what I mean.

Yeah, he's dope, man. I like how he's kind of bringing back that like g funk and he's younger, like he's like he's just like paying homage and he's doing it in like a great way and super dope for sure.

Shot to ocean Side, man, for sure, seven six zero in the house.

Ocean Side is like a place you drive through on your way to San Diego, but you don't realize if you just get off the freeway, it's fucking gorgeous.

I'll be driving through tomorrow.

What is your chemistry like these days with a guy like Fingers because finger for people who don't know he had a run like Fingers.

Really everyone that goes the Fingers man got to good get some good jams man. So I already knew that he was a person that I needed to go see.

So he's mainly handling. Is it all the production or a lot of the production on this?

All of it?

All of it, all of it. Man, that's dope.

That's I like that too, Like in hip hop or people like lock in with One producer because I feel like it always makes the albums better.

It needs clean and he helps we write the hooks and everything. Man, and I go whenever we knot get out real quick, and then it will add his favorite to it, and it's it's all to the good, you know.

Yeah, are you guys gonna are you gonna put it out and just see how the fans react?

Are you going to go to radio with this? Or like what's what's kind of the.

We got a plan going on, man, which you know, I wasn't really ready for either, man, because at first I was gonna throw it out just for the people, you know. So now we're here doing you know, the podcast thing and just doing little interviews here and there and just doing it because this is what we do, you know what I mean. And so yeah, we're gonna put it out hopefully that the people love it. Man, spumping, that's some of my favorite favorite things I put together in a long time.

How long did it's get to record?

Uh? Just three sessions? We did three sessions and eleven songs real quick, man, you know, ship y'all work quick? Yeah, Well, I get my stuff already ready in my head and everything. So when I go to the studio, don't.

We already have to be You know, it's crazy because the new rappers don't do that no more. They just show to the studio. They play like ten beats and then they start humming. Yeah, and I could do that too, but so you like to get the beats, have everything ready so when you get in, we're on business. I'm ready to record. I already got.

Going and everything's ready to go. And I put thought into my rhymes and you know, make sure they put together when I'm spin them right and all that have you.
