"We all love Lil Rob he was the first chicano rapper out there to really speak of the street life as he's seen it and people would speak it in the way they lived. Lil Rob went beond all those other rappers. Just as we thought hell ya!!! this cd (The Album) is tight!!! cant get no better then this!!! Then it comes (Naborhood Music) although different then the rest of his musica. The beats were still bad a** his flow was still good but his lyrics not to hardcore not like the rest of his albums. It's like he lost some of what he had his mind couldent think of much else that was true hardcore gangsta rymes. As writin in his interview Lil Rob even admits that trying to make this album he just dident have it anymore no longer able to come up with that hardcore gangsta material infact he trulys admires (The Album) he had said it was his favorite album that he has done but dispite his changes Lil Rob clearly stated that he still wants to rap for the chicano community even though he's changed but as long as they still want him that is. He also stated that he was upset that rappers like (jay Z, 50 Cent, Lil Flip) could be played on the radio and have musica videos as well, as for the chicanos they cant!!! Lil Rob still wants to put it down for the brown because he believes he's still got many fans that love him dispite his changes in his rap style and lyrics. Lil Rob has spoke his opinion about these other rappers like (Lil Bandit, Mr Knightowl, Mr Lil Ones, Mr Sancho, Mr Shadow) and all the other chicano rappers that want to be put on the radio as well as having there own musica videos. Lil Rob Said that if he had to be that chicano rapper to do it he would. He knows what he's doing however I cant agree with the changes in his style it's not like the old way he raped but in the way he views it he's got a different prospective on the sintuation he feels that trying to go radio play will get them to start playing these chicano rappers on the radio maybe even get there musica videos on MTV, to also prove a point that chicano rappers can rap just as good as all the other rappers can. As for this album I don't see him being at his best like I did with (The Album) but firme just the same with his hit songs (Naborhood Music) witch talks about all the chicanos and the way they speak of there life in the streets (Can We Ride) just a good song for people to bump in there carro (It's My Life) basicly saying it's my life whats it to other people, I do what I want, in a way whats other peoples lives to you. Thats just some of his hits theres also songs like (I Know How It Feels, What Can I Do, I'm Still Riding Like That) these songs were just others on the cd not really his hit singles but have become hits as people begun to play his cd even asking them to be played on the radio. Well the question was is he still puttin it down for the brown??? I believe so Cause he comming second time around with that firme chicano sound. Lil rob always be down for the brown better or for worse he still hanging around look how far he's come now!!! Twelve Eighteen gotta check it out for now homiez I'm out!!!"

"This Lil Rob cd is tight, this cd allows you see the growth of Lil Rob, and his lyrics. I kinda have over looked Lil Rob lately because he hasn't put out a cd that was good, but then I got this one and it made all the doubt that I had about him go away. If you're a Lil Rob fan or chicano rap fan, or westcoast music fan, then you'll like this cd."
