In a recent interview, rapper Lil Rob spoke with Justin Hunte about his upbringing in a small Mexican neighborhood in San Diego called La Colonia at Eden Gardens. He discussed his childhood growing up in a tight-knit community of family and friends, where his childhood home was a house his grandmother constructed from leftover wood from the racetrack where his grandfather worked. Growing up, Lil Rob was exposed to different musical genres through his older siblings. From breakdancing to party DJing, the influence of his family played a pivotal role towards his music career. Lil Rob reminisced about how he handed out his first vinyl as a teenager in Tijuana, beginning his journey in hip-hop that he still carries forward today. His upbringing, coupled with the influence of his family and the vibrant culture of his hometown, shaped the artist Lil Rob is today. To hear more, including Lil Rob speaking about his biggest song, "Summer Nights," hit the full interview above.

I love how he doesn't pretend to be a gangster. He's just a real cool dude
S/O to Vlad TV for getting Hispanic OGs on here. Hispanics that don't make us look bad, real representative right here. 💯
Don’t make us look bad? Lil Rob is not even a real gangster he ain’t no sureño but he portrays to be a wannabe gangster.* Bruh
so him not being a dumb ass gang banger is bad? lol he's a grown up. Grow up mr gangster LOL@@troypolamalupittsburghdynastyf
You got it all wrong homeboy. He’s the only one that has been keep it real this whole time. You don’t have to be a gangster or sureño ect to keep it real.

My son is 40 now and he was a Northerner as a kid. He had a secret. He really liked Lil Rob!! He ended up doing great in life.
i live in LA but i love Woodie Raps from Antioch.
GG to your son, it is a thin line between doing great in life and doing life if you join gangs
Who tf says northerner
@@dnice213 someone who is not a gang banger, and is talking to other people who are also not gang bangers. IT is simply the translation of nortenjo into english
@dnice213 Do a stint in the CDC system and you’ll find out real quick Joe Shmoh.
I started listening to lil rob in 6th grade, I'm 31 now. Still bump him from time to time, "pachuco's night" has always been my favorite. 🎶
31 aswell bro n I aswell started listening to him n 6th grade lol. "Do my thing" was one of my faves!
@@joelrangel200lol "Do my thing" bumps too.🎶
Summer nights for me!
This man has good values good mature mentality …. Nowadays people idolize the wrong kind of message … glad to see him talk positivity and not be afraid to be himself
The GOAT of Chicano Rap. Stays in his lane and drama free. Glad Lil Rob is getting some exposure almost 20-30 years later. His album has some bangers too.
Goat? 😂 How so?
@@nelsonlopez9214What do you mean how so? Real 1’s grew up listening to lil rob on the radio… to us he’s one of the goats
@nelsonlopez9214 lol bro those who know, really know. No explanation needed. Music sells itself.
Haters gona hate much love to rob
@@Robgeee you couldn't even answer a simple question. Says it all.
Lil Rob an OG for sure. Ain’t actin like these weirdos now a days, bro always kept it G.
I’m watching this right next to the pacific to be specific

Me too. Lolol.
So is Rick Ross and Jay z and baby
@@m.thegreat2136shut up
Called the ruca on the phone, let her know I'm home alone
I used to listen to his music when I was a young kid. Damn, time flies! I’m happy to see that Lil Rob is doing good and that he brings a chill vibe. His music will always be great to me. People throwing things at him and talking trash to him and he still stays chillin, those people that only cares about where he is from are the definition of haters, low life’s, etc etc. Keep doing you Lil Rob 👍 👌 🙏.

Man i remember 05 summer I was 13, I heard "summer nights" on the radio.. man it was magical. I bought the CD the next day and the whole album was 🔥🔥 dude is one of the most underrated artists ever. Should've been a way bigger star

Mad respect Lil Rob. Been jamming to the homie all the way up in Michigan since the 90s.
You brought in a classic right here. Lil rob
Im from Northern Cali - since the 80s, Lil Rob was being bumped HEAVY in Chicago summer of 2005 when i went visited my cousins i was like wtf yal listen to chicano rap like mainstream radio and i guarantee you Rob Was being bumped all the way across to NY in the Latino Barrios along with the rich Hampton frat parties. Take in mind Lil Rob was one that Got Love in a Red City in Northern Cali noone else broke barriers like this man back then.
Big cap 🧢
@@Lucasthemann big Jimmy 🧢 my boy
@@Lucasthemanni live in the east coast and he 100% was being played here back then at one point
I was just listening to Crazy Life the other day too. Dope interview. Rob has always been one of my favourites. I grew up on his music man, I found him in Lowrider magazine back in the day. Listening to Rob in the Caprice with the lady, almost 20yrs later and we still bumping his albums together. Classics. Much love homie, peace from a Canadian Hiphop nerd.
It was about time homie lil rob interview was long over due
Shout out to my bro Rob always stayed the same (humble) 🙌🏼 I’m proud of you ✊🏼🇲🇽 Chicano rap Goat 🐐 thanks for all you’ve done for me / MTO

Never really gave lll rob a chance but after the interview he ls such a solid good dude!
Finally!! Lil Rob🤙🏼🤙🏼 now I know why I relate to all his music 💯
Vlad not doing this Interview is so disrespectful.... Even Yung Joc and the Ying Yang Twins!! It seems like he Truly doesnt fuck with Rappers... Im sure there's a few other rappers he didn't wanna Interview Himself..
I'm not going to lie... I feel the same way, too. This guy's interview questions are all over the place instead of Vlad starting from the beginning to controversies and now. The disrespect! This could have been more.
Does it have to do with Lil Rob being from from down South?
@@ValleDeNapa707 are you Remedial??? He's from San Diego bro
I grew up in Jersey and east coast hiphop was my thing and other than Dre, I was not a fan of west coast rap. When I got to stationed in SD, back in 2000. This was when I first heard Lil Rob and I surprisingly love his music. Mad respect to him after this interview, he has been representing since day one. You got to applaud this dude man. Keep it up Lil Rob.
I grew up in Chicago, Illinois Lil Rob, and chicano rap was all I listened to. Much respect to this man 🙌
Lil Rob is a legend 💯
Im 33 and I've been listening to LR since i was 6 haha Crazy.. Living Legend ✊🏽💯🇲🇽🇺🇸
That line on spending money on impala parts and not finishing projects hits different lol boy!
Haha I felt that. Lil Rob knows the struggle of building a low low.
Lil rob was not a trouble maker you can tell !! I use to listen to his music back in the day !! This was nostalgic !! Simon raza
Shit put it down!!! Real humble! We got love for you! I been fan in high school In 1996…… now am 46 and still a fan!!!!!! I always had love for your music!!!!!!

30 now. And I’ll always remember being 10 years old and hearing summer nights for the first time. Seems like yesterday.
"Member only" punching the air right now 😂
I love lil Rob. I’m from Orange County califas. This foo is a legend
Lil' Rob the OG great to see him on here! He's always been a stand up guy! What I love about him IS the RESPECT he does show and always keeps it positive! He talks about his times that weren't so good but how no matter what he weaves his way out of the negative and still goes towards a positive! Much Love and RESPECT Lil' Rob! Great interview!
Dawg Is A Real Gangsta Bro Really Made BangerZ 💙🔥
There will never be a Mexican better than him and kid frost
FREE SPM
Sick Jacken and Vel The Wonder.
Frank V
King Lil G
None of these, Sick Jack but he got no radio hits.
Summer Nights is still that joint.💯✨😌
I can see why he only hangs connects with certain people. He is very community oriented and family. I think others around him in the past showed him what he didn't want to be and kept his Raza agenda moving forward. Where he is from is pretty much gentrified.
He ain't No Jay Z of Chicano rap He's Lil Rob the GOAT in Chicano Rap Game in His Own Lane Brown Pride 💯
I remember bumping his albums when I was 13-14 getting into trouble & loving his style. 20yrs later I'm still down for Lil Rob & legit married a lookalike hahaha I love My Pelon😍😍😍 & will forever be a fan of my troubled teen crush!
Lil Rob from Eden Gardens where I grew up. Talking about the bluebird and market cafe. Brings back memories.
I know all the haters watching this. Too many Chicano rappers are jealous of Lil Rob’s success
Why didn't Vlad do the interview?
Shout-Out Mr.Shadow From San Diego 💯
Not just Chicano Rap one of the best out of the whole Westcoast
Lil Rob keep doing your thing fam. Love from Boston.
I used to listen to him back when he was on low profile records
Unfortunately 50 and I can remember listening Lil Ron back in junior high give me anything you should ever since run he's representing Chicano rap from jump Street. Glad to see he's doing good is it still alive and kicking.🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Great interview!
Im in the Netherlands (hollanda) and I've heard his music played OUT HERE was a nice suprise coming from Cali my self but I never got 1 chance to meet him back there and he aint coming to europe ever though I wish yall would, you would get soo many sales out here.
Theres very few chacanos rappers that put it down so classy for our culture..not all gangbanging on the mic homeboy grew up like all of us that was in the game, well some of us anyway!! Much respect g from that 801 SALT LAKE CITY 🙌
OG LIL-ROB#1
Avenida revolucion was the party place to be in the 90s, great memories but also fights at any given moment it got so packed with people. I still bump lil rob crazy life to this day 🤙
I'm born and raised in SD , lived all over the county .. I've NEVER heard of "Eden gardens " ?!? Solana beach is already small . Where the hell ?!?
You need to go out more 😂
I’m 44 lifelong San Diegan I’ve never been to Solana Beach. But there isn’t a bad area within 50 miles
This is 35 yrs ago tho bro. Look for the clip when he’s rapping at 14 yrs old in his hood. Looks like a struggling working neighborhood
What Lil Rob didn’t want to say is that back in the 80’s here in San Diego only the urban Ghetto’s saw the epidemic kick off which was communities that had Brown and Black people. Eden Gardens was a small piece of land surrounded by affluent white people and Rob and his people where the work force for a majority of that area. Very little to no black people there. If you came down to South East San Diego or East Side San Diego we had it all. Heroin, crack, Sherman, weed ect.
Facts
One great INTERVIEW 👍 👌 👏 🙌 😀 💯🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 on DJ VLAD 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
A wise man right here that stayed in his lane and stayed out of trouble now look how far he’s gotten.
Who remembers "these Cortez shoes" I had all the colors even grey vinyl and all white with silver check they was fyee
Being born and raised in SD, it’s crazy to me that he’s from Solana Beach. Would have never guessed that.
Same
Solana wasn't how it is now, especially now, there's a video on TH-cam if you search Eden gardens 1992, when he was a kid you can see how it was, even now the old Mexican families are being bought out, there's.lioe 5-6 construction projects here in E.G going over old homes making them these fucking modern condos..fucking sucks
I was tripping out when i passed by last weekend. Didn’t expect to see such a wealthy community. But you're right, things must’ve changed throughout the years.
Like Mariah made a Christmas anthem lil rob made a summer anthem
Grew Up Listening to Lil Rob in the 90’s💯. That Crazy Life Album is a Classic💯! Been Following His Music Throughout the Years. I’m Glad He’s Still Making Music🎶. Hope One Day I Get the Chance to Meet this Great Artist🎙️. In My Book He’s a Legend! Always Have Kept It Respectfully With His Music🎶
LEGEND
Thanks Vlad for interviewing this Living Legend. Vlad tv is legit about the Culture💪💪💪
OG Lil Rob 💯‼️👏🏽
The Top that we can all learn from Rob is never go back to someone who Burned you or wronged you .Be humble and move on and never go back . Forward only and up!!!!!!

He definitely sits on that throne 💯🤴✌✊
He’s definitely the King 🤴
Na he definitely the king
NEIGHBORHOOD MUSIC💯💯✊🏽
Lil Rob King Of Chicano Rap
Hope he sees this, wonder if he remembers my Tio Moe Moe rip
All young homies from the neighborhood in late 90s 2000s would 🎶 listen to Lil Rob,
Mr. Capone- E , Mr Criminal 😂 would bump up, wire up 10s & 12s home boom boxes.. kids stuff just used up old speakers til they smoke out .. recorded cassettes tapes later on burning CDs 💿 , limewire, mp3 mp4 as time evolved.
I live in Fresno, hope to go see lil Rob some day.
Solana Beach is a rich neighborhood in San diego by the beach
I bought a 63 impala off a guy in SD who owned a convertible 63 that Lil Rob rented for his Summer Nights video.
Boom! Great interview
Is this Remo from No Jumper doing the interview trynna Mess with the pitch to be undercover??
Anyone know what style Ray bands he's wearing? Thanks you ❤
Lil Rob you are my FAVORITE! ❤ I got my big brother to listen to your music 😊 and we vibe to your songs 🥰
I grew up in Eden Gardens... Back in the days, our Parents, Grandparents and Great Grandparents worked on the Rances in Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar and Fairbanks... But the families were segregated to La Colonia Eden Gardens. Between Lomas Santa Fe and Villa De La Valle off ramps. Naturally the kids growing up would hang out and party... We were labeled gang members and constantly got harassed by the cops... During my Dads day, there was a Heroine epidemic... My Grandparents bought two acres for $6,000 back in the day... Eventually it occurred to alot of rich white people that it was valuable land... They have all but bought out the whole neighborhood now. I hardly recognize it now... When my Grandmother died my Dad and uncles sold the same land for 2.4 million
Yea that's how it is here, even right now they building on the Tony jacal lot, the house next to the park, the apartments on the south of the park, the apartments on Nardo, the took over what use to be the rhythm house by the park on Stevens. .. it's gentrification on steroid this year
Before the internet I use to think this dude must be some hard ass cholo he's seems like a normal dude 🤣 good on him for being honest
Lol he grew up he is like 50
He was dancing around the affiliation question lol. I remember back in the day the older homeboys were talking about getting his ass for hood hopping. That was all over North county. Never really cared about his gang ties cause summer nights was basically the anthem of that era
That's facts he tried to be from Vista, and from what I know, that's why he got shot cause he was trying to bang Vista when he wasn't and never put in work
What side was he repping?
@@JpSierra-g7khe’s a used to be sureno , he doesn’t bang anymore
Why don't you do a interview with mr.dr. from garden block what ever happened to him?
Damn it be cool af to meet lil rob one day always liked his music my favorite songs are “still riding like that” and “just one of those days” cant for get “summer nights” 👍
remember meeting Rob when I was 15
