Heres a video interview we did with The one & only Mr. 1218, Lil Rob, On Tuesday afternoon March 16th 2010 in San Diago California.
This interview begins with the question on why he chose the name Lil Rob
He said he got that name before he hit the 3rd grade, Break-dancing was a big part of his and his brothers lifes, He says he was part of a Break-Dancing group called Gravity Crew, He says that his room was all tagged up with spray paint and so his brother tagged up Lil Rock And since his name is Robert, He started going by Lil Rob
Next question was What made you want to get involed in the rap game?
Lil Rob says his mother use to sing ranchera music & his father use to be in a oldie band & his brother use to D.J, So music has been part of his life since he was a kid, His brother introduce him to Freestyle and Old School Funk music, Dana Dane for example, He says he liked Jay-z when he was part of one of his older groups and remembers seeing their music video on Yo MTV Raps
He said he heard the Chicano Style Rap for the first time by listening to people like mellow Man Ace, Kid Frost, Lighter Shade Of Brown, Ese Rich Roc, Spanish Fly & Proper Dos because his brother use to DJ.
When he was younger, His brother use to take people over to their house to watch Lil Rob Break-Dance.
He says that 1992 was the year Oh What a Night Mexican Gangster & 619 came out, Thats when he grew up into the Gangster Lifestyle.
Next question is How Were You Discovered In The Rap Game?
He says it goes way back in the days to 1992 with Oh What a Night Mexican Gangster & 619 He was with his homies Junior, Cesar & Julian, He says thats when he first started seeing the troubles that can go on in the rap game because everybody it trying to do something different and they always bumped heads and things were falling apart, He was 16 at that time and just wanted to make music and get in the studio.
He got a hold of Sir Crown Productions though Aztec Tribe & thats when they started sampling Break Beats and Oldies.
Next question, Do You Ever Nervious When You Record?
He says hes a very shy dude and always gets nervious everytime he goes inside a studio, He still gets nervious to this day and wonders if hes doing it right, he doesnt go in there all cocky and thinks hes the shit, He says he doesnt know what the people expect to hear from him, hes been in the rap game for over 18 years and doesnt want to rap about the same shit, He doesnt want to rap like a gangster and he doesnt rap to rap about Not giving a fuck about anything when in reality he does!
He says he wonders if hes spiting the shit people watch to hear, He also says that he hears it everyday that he doesnt rap the way he use to, He says hes not 16 anymore and doesnt hang out on the street corner smoking a joint and drinking beer with the homies at 2:00am anymore and he doesnt live the same life anymore!
He says he hopes hes writing the right stuff people can releate to and can also respect, He says hes 34 years old now and he hopes that kids these days are not doing what he did and fucking up, He tells you to stay in school, Do your thing and dont fuck up!
He says you need to learn the business and not just rap, If he learned this business back then, He would have been a lot futher that what he is right now!
Next question Name some producers you have worked with and who were your favorite?
He says Sir Crown Productions was his first who produced his album Crazy Life which were Break Beats & Oldie Beats.
While he was with Low Profile Records he was working with Steve Vicious, Hes still working with him to this day!
He also worked with Moox (Who also produced Neighborehood Music & Bring Out The Freak In You)
Fingazz, Who produced the song Summer Nights which went up to #5 on the billboard charts, Lil Rob says Fingazz is a huge part of the Chicano Rap game, Hes a great writer & Producer, Fingazz does what he has to do & he loves the music!
Bionik Is another Producer Lil Rob has worked with while Bionik was in L.A (He now lives in Michigan)
He says all of them are talented! He also says theres not too many because he doesnt go out there & Mingle with too many people, He rather work with people who hes already cool with & try to make some hits with them, Hes not trying to find new people, He says hes so laid back and chill and believes If It Aint Broke, Dont Try To Fix It
